Issue/Request: 

Hi, I have attempted to create a block that feature a rotating display of faculty publications (cover and author) “feeding” from our publications page (http://classics.yale.edu/faculty-bookshelf) to use in the second sidebar in places. Is there somewhere where this process is explained? I’m reading up in the tutorials/forums but I seem to be missing some steps…

Hello Bjorn,

There are currently no written instructions for this. It would just be a matter of adding a block in your Publications view and setting it to Slideshow. If you’d like I can add it for you and you can take a look at how its setup.

Hi, yes, I think it would be helpful if you set it up so that I can take a look “under the hood”. Thank you.

Hi Josue,

Happy new year! I have tried to set this up myself but without success. I think your suggestion of setting it up is the best way.

Thanks!

Hello Bjorn,

I’ve added a Publication Scroller to the page. You’d still have to edit the fields you want to display and apply styling if needed. Let me know if that works.
