Create a media rotator
Unlike the billboard rotator which only appears on your site's home page, a media rotator can be placed on any main index page in your site. Note: The minimum number of images in your media rotator is three and the maximum is six.
To create a media rotator:
- Click on Add Content at the top left of the window.
- Select UVic Blocks.
- Select Media rotator from the list provided.
- Enter a system name for your media rotator.
- Disregard the Display Name. Although it is a required field, it isn't displayed. You can also include a Description if you wish (not required).
- Under Media Rotator sites you can select Yes if you would like the images to be randomized. You will also see that only one Media block has been provided.
- Click on Choose File to navigate and select an image in your site's assets folder. Note: you can leave Title blank as it will not appear in the rotator.
- Enter the Image Alt Text for the image (a short description of what the image is), and include a Caption.
- To add addtional Media blocks, click on the green plus (+) icon. A new section will be created just below.
- Repeat steps above until you have added all of your Media blocks.
- When you are finished, click on the ellipsis and then click on submit.
- You will see that the media rotator has been created and saved under assets > blocks > content > media-rotators.
