    The Slide Module

    The Slide Module allows you to place a series of images in an image carousel on your Oracle Social Marketing Content & Apps View that your users can scroll through.

    Adding the Slide Module to a Content & Apps View

    All modules are added to a View in the same way with a drag-and-drop interface. For more information about this, see the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps help article.

    Once you have added a module and given it a name, the module will open for you to edit it or to add content. Back on the View layout, you will see a callout bubble next to your module. Click the triangle to display the controls for your module. This callout will not appear on your published View and your new module will not appear on your Facebook Tab until you click Publish.

    Adding Images to the Slide Module

    When you drag-and-drop a Slide module onto a View, it will automatically open to the edit page for that module. To add an image to a module you've already created:

    1. Next to your Image module you will see a callout bubble with the title of your module in green text. Click on the green triangle next to the title to show your options.
    2. If you want your module to have a header, select the Header option.
    3. Click Edit Module and you are taken to the Edit Module page.
    4. To upload an image, click Upload Image. Select the image you want and click Open. If the image is wider than the column it is placed in, it will be resized down to fit. An image can be:
      • Legacy CSS - The left hand, narrow column: 194 pixels; the right hand, wide column: 318 pixels; full width: 520 pixels
      • 2012 CSS - The left hand, narrow column: 300 pixels; the right hand, wide column: 494 pixels; full width: 810 pixels
    5. If you want to link an image to a URL, click Edit. Select the URL you want the image to be a link to, and paste the URL into the field provided.
    6. Every image you upload into the slider can be Shared by users on Facebook. You can set how you want that Share dialog to appear. Enter what you want for the Share Title and Share Description in the provided fields.
    7. When you have finished uploading images to the module, click Update.

    Note: The Slide module only works if you load two or more images to the module. If you only load one image, the slide will not function.

    Metrics Recorded for the Slide Module

    Content & Apps captures metrics for:

    • Module views
    • Slide click-thrus
    • Next click-thrus
    • Previous click-thrus

    Your Module's Size

    The module will size according to the height of the largest photo you upload. Any smaller images will have white space at the bottom.

    Customizing a Slide Module

    All customization happens in the brand CSS page: All modules take up 100% of the containers they are in, so you can resize them to whatever size you need with CSS.
