Links to Carousel Pane

I would like to link directly to an individual pane of my carousel from my navigation bar. I tried creating a link by typing in my pagename.html?panename and pagename.html#panename and neither worked.

I think I maybe creating manual links incorrectly. I did this by highlighting the text on I wanted the link on than went to edit/hyperlink and selected internal and new page and typed in pagename.html?panename. Exactly where and how would I insert the above or is there a better way to do this? Thanks. Marcia

You’re doing this the right way, perhaps the pane name has shifted. Can you post a link, and tell us which pane you want to have appear?

Hi Walt -

Here is a link to the page that has the carousel on it http://montagedigitalmedia.com/services.html (we are in the building process).

What we want to do for example is to be able to link off the services tab, the word assessment to the assessment pane of the carousel. We are using the BAM action for our navigation.

I can also put the page in a dropbox for you to look at if that helps. THanks. Marcia

I’m having no trouble at all getting it to work:

http://montagedigitalmedia.com/services.html?assessment

http://montagedigitalmedia.com/services.html?benchmarking

http://montagedigitalmedia.com/services.html?organizationdesign

Those all work for me when I type them in my browser.

I don’t think I explained this correctly. My problem is that when I highlight a word in one of the BAM menus and try to link it to one of those pages it doesn’t work. It goes right the first page on the carousel not the individual pane.

For example, I highlight assessment in the BAM menu and linked it to http://montagedigitalmedia.com/services.html?assessment - I did it as an external link.

Oh, okay. If you’re trying to do this in the same page as the carousel, you have to use the Action. Click into the BAM and remove the entire link you added. While the text cursor is still there where the link used to be, choose Insert / Action Item / Carousel Text Tab. Click once on it and configure it using the Actions palette to link to your pane.

The querystring trick is only used on a fully external link to the page.

OK call me crazy but I can’t find the carousel text tab action.

What version of Carousel do you have? Check at ActionsForge to see if you’re up to date. And you have to have a blinking text cursor in an HTML box in order to see it, because all Actions are context-sensitive.

So I got it to work on the pages that carousel exists but what about pages that don’t have carousel but I still need to be able to link out to individual panes from other pages.

Hi Walt

I am having troubles to get the direct text link to carousel pane to work:

http://www.biscaya.com/ducati.html?MS1200SGT

All get is the main carousel. Not the pane.

Can’t find what I am doing wrong… Can you advice?

I think this may be a timing issue, brought about by the sheer size of your images. Try this on a much smaller (file-size) page and confirm that it works there. Then try making the page larger and larger by adding images, and see where it breaks. Also, have you included the Fading Slideshow and the Carousel in this page? Try removing FS and see if it works. I have never tested that combination.

It is not a FS issue. Tried that.

Is there no way to edit the timing issue (add a delay)? I would hate to have to redo everything. They want the all the images…
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Make the images smaller – crush them in Photoshop. I can’t duplicate this problem here, but I haven’t tried it on such a large page. It should work.

I have done that already. Images are less than 30K each, it’s just that I have 150 of them…!

Would HTML5 and Carousel2 help?

Thanks

For some reason, your carousel is appearing in the site as display:none – it’s not just invisible, it’s not occupying any space at all. So the function is probably working – you just can’t see it at all.

Here’s what you need to do to properly diagnose the issue.

  1. Create a new page, not based on any current master (so totally blank and divorced from the rest of your layout).
  2. Create a new carousel on this page, starting from nothing, containing the images or HTML layers you want to have appear. Fill it up with all of the content you are currently using – but very important – do not use any other Actions on this page besides the ones built into Carousel. No fading slideshow, no CSS menu, absolutely nothing except the Carousel.
  3. Publish this page. You should be able to navigate to any of the panes using the ?pane-id URL trick.
  4. Duplicate this page, and working entirely on the duplicate, start adding the other elements that you did not duplicate in your first test page back into it. Publish this page from time to time, and test to see if the ?pane-id URL trick works. Each time you add something major, like another Action, repeat this test. You should be able to work out the moment that it stops working. Report back when you do.

The Carousel Action does not ever set itself to display:none – not by itself. You need to figure out who pushed it off that ledge.
