These instructions are for creating a rotating slideshow on your IndieCommerce site using a View. ABA will need to enable the modules for you, so if you have not done so already, please contact us with a request to enable the module.
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE STARTING YOUR VIEW SLIDESHOW BANNER:
Navigate to: Structure > Content Types > Add Content Type
Navigate to: Configuration > Media > Image Styles > Add Style (if you do not have a menu option for 'Image Styles' please contact us so we can grant you permissions).
Navigate to Content > Add Content > Slideshow Banner
Repeat steps 1-3 until a Slideshow Banner page has been created for each image you would like to include.
Navigate to: Structure > Views > Add New View
You are now finished with the view. You should see the images that you added earlier appear in the preview below. Make sure your view is saved and visit Structure > Blocks to place the view in a suitable region.
If you want your banner image to link to something other than its original content you will need to add a ‘Link Path’ field to both the content itself and the view.
CONFIGURE THE CONTENT TYPE
Navigate to: Structure > Content Type > Select your banner content type > Manage Fields
CONFIGURE THE VIEW
Navigate to: Structure > Views > Select your banner view
If you have already created your Banner Image nodes, you will need to go back and place the links paths into the new field.
