[Pro] Carousel

Please can anyone help?

I am quite new to freeway and trying to use carousel for the first time having just downloaded.

I am working from the insruction sheet provided, but seem to be having problems.

Having drawn a html box, I’ve been asked to enter inline content prior to calling in images.

Could any one explain to me what this means.

Also at a later point having called in my 4 images into 4 html boxes it asks that I choose the desired ‘parent’ carousel using the picker in the actions pallette.

I hav ebeen through this a number of times and seem to be stuck, can someone help me!!!

Many thanks

It just means making your graphic boxes children of the html box you have created. They should be nested inside the html box.
You can see this in the side site panel when an item is indented beneath another.

The reference to “parent” just means the main item which contains the “children”.
Your four boxes/images will appear in the "parent’ or main carousel box when it is previewed if you’ve put it together correctly.

Hi thanks for that info, but still got problems.
Once I have produced the first html box and put the graphic box in as a child, I then duped both html and graphic boxes four times as I need four panel in total sliding in and out. When it comes to selecting each panel in turn do I select both html and graphic box then apply the action. I have tried this but keeep getting java script error.

I know I,m doing something wrong but confused as to what.

Many thanks and any advice would be great

You apply the Carousel action to one of the boxes. This is where the effect will be visible. You then apply the Carousel Pane action to the other html boxes and target them to the first Carousel html box by whatever name it is known in the wee drop down list in the action menu.
Tha actions are applied to the html boxes. The effect is on all the elements contained within them.

Hope this helps.

A Few things maybe.
Clear your browser cache.
Do you get a javascript error when you are publishing within Freeway?
Have you rebuilt it from scratch? If not then try even just deleting the carousel panel element and create another and reapply the action to tit and set it up again.

Its a bit of the process of elimination at this stage.

HI there, I managed to get this working but I saw on Walters page he gets the tab to have an outline on it, how does that work

You have to create an .active style in your CSS as the Tab gets the active class when it is chosen.

Copy and paste works for me.

Where is Walter’s example and I will grab his CSS for you.

Paste the following into Page>HTML Markup in the before section of your carousel page.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.active {
border-left:1px solid #ccc;
border-right:1px solid #ccc;
margin:-1px -1px 0 -1px;
border-top:1px solid #ccc;
}
-->
</style>

Adjust to suit first.

It worked thank you, is there anywhere i can read or find out more about applying this through the menus and inspector dialog? I seldom go into the ‘styles’ area but it would be useful to understand the functionality and to not only be able to have the border as the ‘active’ item. Be nice if the text changed colour and or size when that tab is active…

Thanks, Jamie

This is where it helps to have some knowledge of CSS - yes you can change all sorts of parameters.

Have a look at http://actionsforge.com/articles/view/9-tag-only-styles to give you an idea how to create your own styles but it will help if you learn a bit about CSS.
