How to use the module Slideshow?
Slideshow is very easy to use. You can add this module either in the title area or in the main column of your homepage.
Once added, the first thing to do is to upload for each slide a photo (up to 5). Depending on where you added the Slideshow, we automatically fill in the recommended width for your photo . Avoid adding a photo smaller than the specified dimensions. Slideshow displays images in big (even really big! ), so it is important to choose pictures with a good resolution.
This is optional, but you can add a title and a subtitle for each photo. This title and subtitle will be overprinted. You can choose their position (center , top, bottom right, left, etc.).
Also optional, you can add a link to any page of your site. Unlike a module that allows you to link it only to an article, Slideshow allows you to make connections to all parts of your site: article, section, form, webservices, registration, newsletter, ... and even an external link ;)
