Add teaser with collective.behavior.banner
There are a lot of add-ons in Plone for sliders/banners/teasers. We thought there should be a better one and created collective.behavior.banner.
Like many add-ons it has not yet been released on pypi but only exists as code on github.
The training buildout has a section [sources] that tells buildout to download a specific add-on not from pypi but from some code repository (usually github):
[sources]
collective.behavior.banner = git https://github.com/collective/collective.behavior.banner.git pushurl=git@github.com:collective/collective.behavior.banner.git rev=af2dc1f21b23270e4b8583cf04eb8e962ade4c4d
Pinning the revision saves us from being surprised by changes in the code we might not want.
After adding the source, we need to add the egg to buildout:
eggs =
Plone
...
collective.behavior.banner
...
And rerun ./bin/buildout
- Install the add-on
- Create a new dexterity content type
Banner with only the behavior Banner enabled.
- Create a folder called
banners
- Add two banners into that folder using images taken from lorempixel.com
- Add the Behavior
Slider to the default content type Page (Document)
- Edit the front-page and link to the new banners.
