Module - Rotator

A Rotator is a large banner used for featured content. Rotators cycle through different content on your site, displaying multiple pieces in a single space and potentially increasing exposure. It showcases one item at a time as it rotates. You can turn this module into a static banner image by only including a single item.

Add a Rotator banner

1. Click the gear icon in the upper right of the software.

2. In the left navigation panel, click Pages in the Layout section. 

    

   

3. Click the desired page (or create a new page if needed). You can now customize this page. 

4. In the left-hand panel, click the + to add a module. 

    

   

5. Click Rotator. Rotator will appear in the left-hand panel.

6. Click Rotator in the left-hand panel. Additional configuration settings are displayed.

    

   

    

7. Configure the rotator as desired:

   • (Optional) Provide a Name for the rotator. This may be useful for identifying a rotator when adding multiple rotators to a page.

   • Content Type: This is how you choose which content type is pulled into the module. Options: Group, Library, Sessions, Speakers. 

     • Filter Results: See instructions below. 

   • Show Arrows: Will display arrows on the banner. Visitors to this page will be able to "force" a scroll by clicking the arrows. 

   • Dots: Choose if you would like to display dots at the bottom center of the Rotator. Visitors to this page will be able to "force" a scroll by clicking the dots. 

   • Show Title: Choose if you wish the title of the rotator to be displayed at the top of the rotator.

   • Show Pause: Choose if you wish to display an option to pause the rotator. 

   • Variant: This allows you to choose the module shape from the drop-down menu. For example, Circular, rounded, or square. Note that a square can be a rectangle; it just means it has hard corners instead of rounded corners. The screenshot above is displaying a circle.

   • Text Align: This allows you to set the alignment of the titles of each slide (not the module title). Options for: Center, Left, and Right. We recommend using Left for most content and Center for speakers (since they are circular).

   • Slide width and height: Input 355 (width) x 200 (height) for a standard 16:9 ratio image. This corresponds to the image size (800 x 450) that we request from clients for most rectangular images.

   • Spacing: 10 is the recommended spacing between each item on your rotator. 

   • Slide Title: Choose this option if you wish to display the title of the content. For example, if you have configured your groups with a title, that title will display beneath the group (as shown in the screenshot above).

   • Slide Description: Choose this option if you wish to display the description of the content.  For example, if you have configured your groups with a description, that description will display beneath the group.

8. After completing your configuration, click the X at the top of the settings to collapse the rotator configuration settings.

9. Click Save Page. 

You have now created a rotator for the page.  Each time you update your content (for example, by adding a new group), it will automatically be displayed in the rotator.
