News images playlist


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.

  5. In the Description field, add the text.
