Image Carousel

The image carousel is a show-case for your organisation. It can show images of your members, your activities, your premises, advertise upcoming events, display important notices, advertise sponsors etc. Each image in the carousel can contain additional text and can also be a clickable link, so it can link to another page on your site (an event page in the calendar, for example). What's more - different images can be displayed to different visitors! So, fore example, you could showcase the club and show membership offers to the public and logged-in non-members, but for logged-in members you could promote upcoming events. Each image has a time-frame so you can only show it at the relevant time. The possibilities are endless!

Sign in to your myClubhouse site with administrator-level priviledges and stay on the Home Page.
If you have any carousel images showing, click the 'Configure' button in the bottom left corner of the image.

If you do not have any images displayed, navigate to Admin > Page Customisation > Configure Carousel.
On the Configure Carousel page, click the green 'Add Item ...' button from the top right, the image pop-up appears.
Image Upload

Click the 'Upload image file' button on the right-hand end of the toolbar to choose an image from your device.*

On some desktops you can also paste aURL web linkinto the 'File name' box at the bottom of the Open file dialog; then click 'Open'.

Once your image has uploaded, you can use the other buttons on the toolbar to zoom, rotate and crop your image as desired.

Carousel Image Aspect Ratio

All images are cropped to an aspect ratio of 1000 x 355. You may find it useful to prepare your images to this aspect ratio before uploading, to ensure they will look their best. Images will be displayed across the full width of the viewer's browser window, so the higher the size and resolution, the better.
Caption - optional caption text for your image. This will be displayed at the bottom of the image.
Description - optonal text to be displayed underneath the Caption, in a smaller font.
Text Colour - select a text colour to display your Caption and Description, this should contrast with the background colour of your image. You can enter the colour as RGB (denoted by rgb(xxx,xxx,xxx)), hexidecimal (denoted by #xxxxxx) or by draging the indicators on the pop-out graphic as shown. The text will be displayed with a subtle drop shadow.
Link URL - optional. Enter the address of the web page where the visitor will be taken when they click on the carousel image. This can be a page on your myClubhouse site or any other page on the web. If you are using the image to advertise membership to non-members, you may take them to the registration page, or for an event you may take them to the sign-up page.
