The carousel is displayed at the top of the homepage and looks as following:
The images added to the carousel need to be of high quality. Make sure you optimise the images so the files are as small as possible. The carousel image should be 885 x 432px. If you are planning to add a caption under your image it will cover a 50px high strip at the bottom.
Please resize and crop your image before you upload it to Drupal. There are many tools to achieve this, for example at: https://imageresizer.com/
In order to add an item to the carousel you will need to follow two steps:
- Insert an image
- Add the image to the Carousel Nodequeue
Inserting an image
In order to insert an image to the carousel hover over Content > Add content and then click on Homepage Carousel in the drop down menu.
A new window will appear. Insert the Title, Image and optionally provide URL for the link.
Once you upload your image, hit Save.
Adding the image to the Carousel Nodequeue
Hover over Structure and click on Nodequeues from the drop down menu.
A new window will appear. Click on View to edit the Homepage Carousel. In the Add Content box start typing the title of the carousel item; the system will automatically suggest some options. Confirm your choice by selecting the correct link and hit Add Content.
You can reorder the position of items by dragging them with the cross symbols on the left.
Please remember to save your changes by hitting the Save button.
Deleting an image from a carousel
If you would like to delete an image from a carousel you will need to click on Content in drop down menu. You will be presented with a list, for example:
Find the item you want to get rid of (make sure that its type is Carousel Item) and hit delete. After you confirm, the image should disappear from the carousel.
