How to add a Slideshow

  1. Select Slideshow from the Component type drop down list and click the Add new Component or Add another Component button.

  2. Click the Add Image button to begin adding Slides.  Visit the Image component guide if necessary.

  3. Decide if the Slide navigation will be displayed as Bullets or Thumbnails.

Things worth mentioning

  • There must be more than one Image card added to the Slides in order to save the choice of  Thumbnails for Slide navigation.

  • When the Slide navigation is chosen to be Thumbnails, the optimal number of Slides is four.  Fewer than four will result in some empty black background and more than four will result in additional rows of thumbnails.

  • When the Slide navigation is chosen to be Thumbnails, the Title of the Image component caption will also be centered over its thumbnail.

Examples
