Automate the Card Carousel
Once you've created a number of News or Event content pages, you can feature the latest 6 using a Card Carousel.
Select the page that you'd like to feature the Card Carousel:
1. Click on Body Content
2. Select Card Carousel from the Component type lists
3. You'll then be presented with Title and a list including Latest Items options - N/A, Events and News
4. You have a number of options for the Card Carousel:
- To auto-populate events: check the Events button (your events must have been set up as Event pages)
- To auto-populate news: check the News button (your news must have been set up as News pages)
Manual creation of the Card Carousel
You can create a custom carousel and curate the news or events you want to highlight. This is not recommended unless necessary as it will create a big maintenance burden to keep it up to date.
To do this select the drop-down arrow to view all items within the Add Card Event:
- Add Card Event: populate the card using Title, Media, Date, Date Range, Location
- Add Card Event Automated: automatically feature an event by adding CTA Text and the Referred event URL
- Add Promotion: populate the card using Title, Date posted, Topic, Image, Summary, URL and Link text
- Add Card Promotion Automated: here you can add automatically feature content by adding Referred content and CTA Text
How the carousel will look
Once published, the carousel will display as below:
