Hello,
Is it possible to have an image in a carousel that either doesn't link to anything, or links to an outside website, such as our cloud account? For example, we would like to add a photo to a carousel with imagery and dates of our next convention, basically a sort of announcement that would not link to any intranet page or wiki page, it would just be a static image within the carousel. The carousel would also contain other images that might link to wiki pages or spaces etc.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks!
Kayla
Hey Kayla,
You can accomplish this by adding a static slide to the carousel template. I would recommend creating a new carousel template, so other carousels don't display the static slide as well.
{{#each Contents}}
{{/each}}

Hey Grace Kamau !
Is there a way to edit the static photos/links in the actual widget vs the template?
Thanks!Chloie
Hey Chloie,
Could you clarify what you want to do? The carousel widget pulls content from spaces and can be filtered by space, author, tag, etc. The content in the widget depends on what content is created in spaces.
Grace Kamau ,
We'd like to link images to pages/outside links in a carousel widget. We'll use this as a banner on our home page and sometimes have banners that link to specific pages, blogs, outside links. The fix you provided above works, but we're hoping there is an easier way to update the images and links than going into the page builder template each time we switch out an image or link.
Thanks,
Chloie
You can do this using the Photos content type and the URL Mapper :
When you want to update the images in the carousel, just add or delete photos in the album and URL mappings in Control Panel.
Grace Kamau thank you! That worked perfectly.
One other question, is there a way to order the photos in an album manually?
It isn't possible to order photos manually. Alternatively, you can use the Articles or Blogs content type, and set a Publication date to order the content.
Grace Kamau gotcha.
Hey Grace Kamau ,
We've followed this process and have been noticing that links stop working. The URL is still mapped and hasn't changed but we click the image it takes us to the photo album. You can see examples on this page.
Thanks, Chloie
Hi Chloie,
Clicking on all three of the carousel images take me to the blogs, not photo albums. Can you try clearing your Internet browser's cache and then clicking on the images?
Thanks,Foster
Foster Clark sorry about that! Someone updated those. Try these ones:
So it looks like the URL mappings that were not working were set to http, instead of https. I have gone ahead and changed those mappings for you, so they should be working correctly now.
On the link that you provided me, Image 1 and Image 3 link to blog posts, but there does not appear to be a mapping for the 2nd image, so it still links to the photo.
I hope this helps,Foster
Foster Clark , thank you for going in and fixing those! Appreciate it. :) We'll use the https going forward. And sounds good on the second image.
Best, Chloie
