I am looking to create a carousel that will allow me rotate testimonials for a client, but when using the carousel component delivered in one of your last releases, i don't seem to be able to remove the image element out of the slides that are provided in the component.
so 2 questions really.
1) Why is this?
2) Can full control over content for carousel slides be added into a future release.
The carousel was made to handle the most common use case that Bootstrap supports - cycling through a bunch of images. We can add a "Type" dropdown in the Slide options which switches it from "Image" to "Custom", which will permit you to add any elements that you wish.
This would be a great feature! I'm trying to do a text carousel (to show testimonials) with the current functionality but just failing due to requiring a background image!
@rebeccapersongmail-com, right now you have to use the Custom Code component to achieve this.
However, you can at least drag the Carousel component make all your carousel settings then right click on the Carousel element in the Overview pane and select Convert to HTML then right click it again and select Edit Code.
Happy to report that this is now available in version 2.3.3 which was just released. When you click on a Carousel Slide component, you will see a checkbox for showing/hiding the locked image. Slides can also accept lots of different types of components, making the Carousel much more flexible.
This is caused by they way the Bootstrap Carousel works. Once you hide the image there is nothing to give a height to the carousel. If you drop other content in the slide it should work.
