item will show an image, title and description, and will also have a link pointing
back to the original object.  The title, description and link url of individual items
can be changed by configuring the tile in the Compose view; you can also remove or
reorder them.You can drop any object containing an image into a Carousel tile (though note that
objects without an image will be discarded without any warning).
Cycle2 Carousel tiles are 100% responsive, and support native-like swipe movements.
You can also specify if the carousel will start playing the slideshow
automatically or not. The tile can accept a maximum of 100 slides.Configuration of the tile allows defining the tile’s CSS class, the maximum image size,
the Overlay template and the Pager Style. The Overlay template is a mustache style HTML template
which can show the title, description or date for each tile, with {{title}}, {{desc}} or {{date}} respectively.
The Overlay is the only place the Title & Description of the tiles are shown.Share and Enjoycovertile.cycle2would not have been possible without the contribution of the following people:André NogueiraDaniel JowettHéctor VelardeFred van DijkYou can find an updated list of package contributors onGitHub.ChangelogThere’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.1.0.0 (2020-09-09)Make {{url}} available in overlay templates so you can put a link to a carousel item.
