Carousel and Freeway 7

Does Carousel 2 not work with Freeway 7 Pass-through images?

That is correct. You need to follow these steps to work around the difference in construction:

  1. For each pane, draw an HTML box (or insert it inline).
  2. Click once on the pane, so its handles appear, and apply the Carousel Pane or Carousel Action to that box. Configure the Action as needed. While the HTML box is still selected, choose the graphic box tool, and draw a graphic box to receive the image directly over the HTML box. You will know you are doing this correctly if the borders of the HTML box glow blue as you draw.
  3. Use the inspector to set the top,left of the graphic box to 0,0, and set the width and height to be identical to the HTML box.
  4. Import your image as pass-through.

I plan to revisit this Action at some point, and make this whole process unnecessary. The issue is that Freeway made DIVs around pass-through images in versions < 7, and does not bother with that in 7. The DIV was what I was using to build the effect.

Hi Walt
Thanks for this, it certainly got the Carousel action working but unfortunately I can get the pictures to work responsively - any suggestions. I have tried string the html box to Fixed% and/or the graphic box to Fixed% but the size stays static when I resize the browser.

you can’t set carousel responsive cause it requires width and height.

Is there anything that will work in responsive e.g. Fading Slideshow?

I’ve been using Exhibeo’s Slideshow presentation quite effectively in
responsive layouts, but it requires hacking both Freeway’s and Exhibeo’s
CSS.

I’m a designer with no knowledge of coding - which is, of course, why I use Freeway

So, you use Freeway with no knowledge of coding… not even a little bit?
What’s the emoticon for the raised eyebrow of disbelief?

I learned almost everything I know about front-end coding from using
Freeway Pro!

Hi Kevin, have you tried WOW slider? Latest version produces fully responsive slideshow with a wysiwyg interface.

All that is required is a couple of lines of code pasted into your freeway document.

Hi Mark
This is great. Which part of the code do you paste into Freeway. Do you create an iFrame and use that or create a markup item?

Got it
Head section pastes into Page>html markup>after

Body section goes into Inset>markup item

Thanks for all your help - much appreciated

Actually, it’s usually recommended that you put it before the tag. :slight_smile:
