Only group Managers, Moderators, and Members who have been granted the 'Trusted User' status have permissions to add content to the group spotlight slideshow.
After creating an “Event” or “News item", scroll down to the area that is titled “Slideshow Image”. Click the “Choose File” button to retrieve an image from your computer. Click the “Upload” button to upload the image. | |
If your upload is successful, the image will display next to a button giving you the option to “Remove” it.

How to add content to your spotlight slideshow (usually found on the group home page).
If you want the slideshow image and title to link to something other than the node URL (default), enter a custom "slideshow link" to make the spotlight link to a custom page with the setting below. Checkmark "Open URL in a New Window" if you want the browser to launch a new window upon click. If it's an external link, it needs to be a fully qualified URL, ie. http://www.somesite.com If it's internal, it should be sufficient to put a relative URL, ie. node/1234. |
|
There is also a "more" button at the bottom right of the slideshow that links directly to the CPS-VO news item or event rather than the custom link. | |
Next, click on the gray tab titled “Publishing options” and checkmark the box next to “Display in Slideshow”. Click "Save" to publish your event and show it in the spotlight. |
