News Carousel Widget


There’s a great new widget for the professional display of news. The News Carousel Widget allows a rotating style display of selected news articles from your site’s news repository. News articles can be tagged in the repository, allowing them to appear in the carousel.  The widget displays up to five recent news items and can display:

  • The headline (truncated if too long)
  • A snippet of the text from the article
  • The main image or video
  • A ‘Read more’ button that takes visitors to the full article
  • Tabs at the bottom of the widget that allow people to move between articles
     

You can choose:

  • Which news categories to include
  • Whether to display a snippet of text from the article
  • What aspect ratio to use (portrait, landscape, panorama)
  • For images that do not fit the aspect ratio, whether to crop or scroll the image
  • The number of seconds before the widget transitions to the next article
     

The News Carousel widget automatically behaves responsively for phones and tablets, where the headline becomes displayed below the main image/video. To learn more, click here.
