About
News images are a great component for your homepage or any Video Portal template page. This interactive element showcases a playlist of images with accompanying text, allowing users to access full articles by clicking on each item.
The following instructions depend on having the Theming module enabled.
Prepare your news images
- Select My Media from the user menu.
The My Media page displays.
- Find the entry you want for your News Item, and click the pencil icon to the right of it.
- In the Name field, give your News Item a title.
- In the Description field, add the text.
- Add tags (optional).
- Click Save.
News Items are usually created from images. Image sizes should be 760x920 (png or jpg). If you choose a video, a still from the video will be used.
Repeat these steps for each News Item you want to create.
Create the playlist
- Select My Playlists from the user menu
The My Playlists page displays.
- Click + Create Playlist. The Create Playlist window opens.
- Complete the fields:
- Title (required)
- Description
- Tags
Your administrator can now add your News Images playlist to the page. For more information, see the templatepages module.
