Scrolling Text Help

You use the external side of the dialog, but then you assign an
internal (target-only) link through that dialog.

If you are applying this URL to an image, and you don’t need that
image to have a rollover effect, then simply apply the Carousel Tab
action to that image. You will be able to select the target pane easily.

If you are linking from another page, then simply use the internal
side, link to the page containing the Carousel, and manually add the
appropriate target using the Extended dialog.

Well it seems I need more help…
I made a great 1st Carousel on page, now I am try to make my 2nd, and created a new HTML box right on top of it. It seems this is incorrect. Please advise…

I will need to make 6 separate Carousels on one page, as each one is a new subject matter.

I will worry about linking the menu to these carousels later.

Thanks

When you say you want to put another Carousel on the page, do you
want it to appear below the first one, like my example page?

If so, then that’s as easy as selecting the first Carousel group and
option-dragging it down to copy it, or selecting Item > Duplicate
from the main menu.

Then use the Site panel to move through the individual panes of your
carousel and change the images and text therein.

If you need there to be a different number of panes to one of the
carousels, then I would do the same thing, but then ungroup
everything, delete all but one pane, and then work up from there
using Item > Duplicate to keep cloning panes in place.

Then go through the steps of grouping, adding the action, adding the
controls, and then finally grouping the controls with the carousel
group.

I agree with others who have pointed out that six carousels on a
single page is going to be very heavy, leading to long load times and
potentially users leaving before the thing has finished loading.

Now, as far as your link navigation goes, you will be able to make
text links in HTML to cause individual panes to appear, but they
won’t scroll into place smoothly. For that, you would need to use the
Carousel Tabs action on graphic buttons. Give it a try, it’s how the
tabs work on my demo, but of course the tabs don’t need to look like
tabs – and they don’t need to be along the top. You can put them
anywhere as long as they are grouped with the rest of the carousel.

Many thanks Walter.

so this means that I work mostly in the Site panel,and keep duplicating how many panes I need for each project. ok

so should I keep the last one at the bottom of stack as when I lay on top its that one that is visible on the page.

Carla
This is fun and I am learning but I may just keep my unstoppable scroll and iFrame if the loading time is too long after all of this.

I must say you all have been so great… but loading time needs to be kept down

As far as the tabs go…
my menu is on the same page as the carousels

please take a look at our present website.

If I tab each project a Carousel tab, what do I do to target that Carousel in pileup.

I understand how to do extended…but

Well I must be a pain to u all by now…

I was able to make 2 stacks of Carousels to work on top of each other,

although you can see the bottom images, they are visible, and I followed instructions…
More about the Carousel tab later after I try to play with it
Sorry guys

I don’t understand why you want to stack your Carousels one on top of each other - this is surely going to cause slow loading.

I think it will be much easier for you to manage by linking to separate pages with 1 Carousel on each.

If you have created a Master for them then you can duplicate it easily - or create one page with carousel and use Page>Make Master to generate a Master page that will then have all the elements necessary for all the other pages.

I did not know I needed to put each carousel on a separate page. Hmm

What about the menu?

I guess I cannot visualize it. I will try

Hi Guys

the neophyte here… Well I have created the 2nd Carousel on its own page and now I am trying either to Hyperlink the menu item to each Carousel to display , or tag the Carousel Tab

I am not able to figure either out…I want to remind you that I just upgrade to Pro this week… so I am forever grateful for you putting up with me. Ha!

What happens is the link opens, to the full Carousel page and it is not inside the window we "made on my main page

Hope you are well

I would not go that way at all. Looking at your current site, it’s
clearly separate pages per project, and I think that’s a good balance
between page size and functionality. If you were to put each project
on a separate Carousel on the same page, you would have a monster
page that would add up to the entire page weight of each project
page, plus the weight of the JavaScript libraries themselves. Now the
JS libraries are a one-time cost – once your visitor has loaded
them, that’s it for your site, they will always thereafter come from
the browser’s cache* – but these images are not cached in the same
way, and the visitor will have to endure the entire download before
any of your effects will run. The buttons for the Carousel don’t
become “live” until the entire page – all images visible and
invisible included – have finished loading.

Walter

*This is not, strictly speaking, exactly how it works, but for most
people and most browsers, barring bizarre user behavior outside of
your control, it’s fairly close to the truth.

Yes Walter I now realize that I cannot put the Carousels on toop of each other but on separate pages, ech Carousel on a correctly sized page, so we have come thru that!

BUT… The menu on the left linking each project I cannot figure out the target and extended link.

The Carousel tab, when I tab each project, the menu only lists the Carousel which lies on that main page?

Do I make myself clear… I would love to just attach the Carousel tab on each menu item, but it does not give the choice of all my tabs.

I am trying to figure this thing out… I know I am missin something

Thx

When I look at your current site, which is very nice, by the way, it
seems as though your links are to discrete pages for each project. So
when making your links from the left-hand menu, simply let Freeway
make regular internal links to each project’s separate page. Don’t
worry about anything else to do with the Carousel at this point.

Each project would have a page of its own, and that page would
contain one Carousel, which in turn would contain only the panes
necessary to show that project.

Each of these pages would be a straight duplicate of the others, with
the following changes made on each copy: darken the text indicating
which page you are on, and update the Carousel to include the correct
artwork.

Once you have set up the first one, you could make it a Master Page,
and then make a bunch of duplicates of it in your site. That would
speed up your production immensely.

It is possible to indicate to Carousel which tab should be initially
selected, and you can create an extended link from another page to do
that by including a Target reference to the pane you wish to be
initially visible. Two things about that – one, it’s not necessary
unless you are “deep linking” into a particular pane for some
specific reason, and two, it will cause the page to scroll down to
the top of your carousel, just as any other anchor would do.

Yes Walter Thx

I hyperlinked each menu item to the Carousel page I made, and it works but it takes one to that page and does not stay on my main Project page

ugh.

The link works but … you know what I am saying… right?

Each project page should be a complete page, with all the same site
navigation and so forth.

It sounds to me as though you are trying to continue with the iframe
here, and have put the Carousel on a page which you then include into
your main Projects page. Stop that! Now! You are needlessly
complicating things for yourself, and also making a page which cannot
be linked to from the outside world.

Freeway makes it entirely painless to make as many copies of a page
as you need, without waste. So let it!

You mean I need to have 6 full Project pages each with its own Carousel? I did say I was dense didn’t I/ ha

Okay well that makes it easy. hm ok, won’t it be obvious that the page is another page

Well i will try it, and you were right i was thinking of the IFrame concept

I will let you know how it goes… believe me this site is very nice, but I never worked with a scroll before

Sometime around 10/2/08 (at 11:51 -0500) Carla said:

Is that a problem? Really?

If the answer is yes, then just make each page look identical apart
from the Carousel content.

And to do that, you could make a new master page, set the layout and
a single Carousel up there, then make your six pages from that and
just customise the Carousel content on each one. Fast, efficient…

Yes I know now… it is all perfect…

Once I did it, you can not see any change, and once I took hyperlink off 1st project name on 1st page you cannolt tell the difference. Of course now that I have done it, I feel a bit of a dunce, but I will get over it…

You are all rockstars!!!

I feel so much better now…
thx for your patience
