Overview ( top )
Content Panels are full width images that sit within your media content, and fade between each other to provide readers with changing, dynamic content.
- panel images should be at least 1000px wide: the placeholder is 1000px wide, so anything smaller will not cover the entire width of the container. Larger images (e.g. 1920 x 1080 px) will be sized to fit.
- panels require a minimum 2 images... a primary tile (what is shown first), and an alternate tile (what replaces the primary tile. There is no limit on how many images you can have over 2.
- panel images will display, and at the last panel image will wrap and start at 1 again.
Code
The below is an example of the code, with an explanation of each line.
- content='panel' is mandatory. It defines that this will be an image panel.
- duration='x' is optional. It sets the time in milliseconds between each change in panel. Default is 5000, or 5 seconds.
- rate='x' is optional. It sets the time in milliseconds how quickly the fade transition occurs. Default is 20, or second to change.
Panel lines consist of up to 5 parameters, separated by | (pipe) symbols:
- image URL. Mandatory. This must point to a valid URL of a panel image.
- caption. Optional. This will display a caption box over the image showing user-defined text.
- button text. Optional. Will display a button with button text displayed on it.
- button URL. Optional. When the button is clicked by a user, this URL will be shown in the browser window.
