I created Content type - News. And added ten news. Using the View module, I displayed them on the /news page.
I need to make a slideshow with 3 selected news on the frontpage of the site using the Paragraphs module.
First, I looked and read many manuals on how to create a slideshow in Drupal.
And all manuals have similar steps for implementing a slideshow. Using the Slick Carousel module as an example:
- Install Slick Carousel and Slick View modules to make slideshow
- Add the necessary libraries for the modules to work
- Create Content type
- Add fields (like Image and Link) to the Content type
- Create content for this Content type
- Create a View for this Content type and select that this View needs to be displayed in the block
- Add Image and Link fields to FIELDS in View settings
- Select the Slick Carousel FORMAT in the View settings and configure it
- Create Slick Optionset in Configure -> Slick, configure it, Save
- Add the View block to the region.
I deliberately highlighted steps 3-5 and 7 in bold. Because I already have a Сontent type (news) and the View FIELD should be different in my case.
Therefore, in my case, the steps should probably be something like this:
- Install Slick Carousel and Slick View modules to make slideshow
- Add the necessary libraries for the modules to work
- Add paragraph type
- In the paragraph type, add some kind of field thanks to which I can select the news
- Select news manually in the field settings
- Create a View for this Content type and select that this View needs to be displayed in the block
- Add some field to FIELDS in the View settings (perhaps a paragraph)
- Select the Slick Carousel FORMAT in the View settings and configure it
- Create Slick Optionset in Configure -> Slick, configure it, Save
- Add the View block to the region.
I read somewhere that in the Content Reference field I can somehow manually select news.
But when I added the Content Reference field to the paragraph type:
I did not see where I can manually select news:
When I added a paragraph in the View settings in FIELD, I also did not see any settings where I can select certain news.
What steps do I need to take to implement this?
