Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The following is a quick guide to getting using this module:

### Step 1: Add variable to template

[](#step-1-add-variable-to-template)

Once installed, you have to add the following template variable to any templates you require a carousel to appear on:

```
$CarouselSlides

```

### Step 2: Enable carousel on your page

[](#step-2-enable-carousel-on-your-page)

Next, log into the admin interface and edit the page you want to add a carousel to.

Then click the "Settings" tab, and tick the "show carousel" checkbox.

### Step 4: Setup Carousel

[](#step-4-setup-carousel)

Once this is done you will be able to set the following fields:

- Width and Height settings (this will determine the size of the rendered images)
- Show Controls (this will add next/prev buttons) **NOTE** if you want this to work correctly, you will need to disable hash rewrites in SilverStripe
- Show Indicators (show the blips at the bottom of aa page).
- Interval (how quickly will each slide be displayed).

### Step 5: Add some slides

[](#step-5-add-some-slides)

Once you have finished configuring, you can go back to the "content" tab and a "carousel" tab should have appeared in the right hand side of the editing pane.

You can now add slides, attach images and edit their titles.

Using a different carousel
--------------------------

[](#using-a-different-carousel)

By default this module uses Bootstrap 4 carousel from a CDN. If you want to use your own carousel, you will need to copy the `CarouselSlides` template into your theme and amend the HTML and Requirements calls
