Slideshows and carousels

Mosaic offers several ways of displaying a rotating set of images.

The slideshow widget also offers other options. Rather than a set of uploaded images, the slides can be content items from elsewhere on the site. These can be selected using a filter (e.g. all items of a certain type) or a taxonomy term, or hand picked. The slideshow below shows the projects listed in the Research Projects section of this site.

Clicking on a slide will take you to the content item featured. It's also possible to add a call to action - a second, separate link. This can lead to another page on the Mosaic site, or to an external resource. The T3 for All slide below features a call to action which takes users to the T3 mini-site.

A number of different layout options are available for slideshows.

 

Carousels

Carousels are similar, but multiple slides are visible simultaneously. The carousel below shows news items, three at a time.

Banners

Another option for displaying large images is a banner. Unlike a slideshow, these feature a single image, and/or some text.
