Carousel
The carousel can be used to showcase events, student activities, or more. Note that this is what most visitors see first when they visit your site.
Per the guidelines set forth by Marketing, all carousel image dimensions must be 1600 px (width) x 552 px (height), with at least 72 DPI.
To edit one of the slides for the carousel, navigate to the following folder: /oucampustraining/config/slideshow2019/
** Note: Carousel slides appear in alpha-numeric order. So 'slide1.pcf' will always appear before 'slide2.pcf'. **
Editing a slide
After selecting one of the slides in the /slideshow2019/ folder, you should see the following form that allows you to edit the content for your slide (pictured below)

Once you're done filling out the form, please select the blue 'Save' button in the upper right-hand corner, then select the green 'Publish' button.
Creating a new slide
To create a new slide, first make sure you're in the /oucampustraining/slideshow2019/ sub-directory. To note your current location, you can view the breadcrumb that is right below the 'Pages' heading near the top of the page (pictured below):
From there, it's a matter of selecting the blue 'New' button in the upper right hand corner, and selecting 'New Slide' (pictured below)
Now the slide only needs to be edited as described above. Once you've applied changes to your slide, select the blue 'Save' button in the upper right hand corner, then select the green 'Publish' button.
** Note: The slideshow files are the only files in the config folder that do not require a full site republish. Once you've saved and published a slide, navigate to /oucampustraining/index.pcf and publish that file for the changes to take effect**
