Video Carousel (slider?): Broadcast Theme

[ponbru]

I'm using the broadcast theme. I want to create a video carousel (slider) on the "custom content" section. The "Featured Product" Section does this automatically and I haven't been able to pin down exactly how it's done. Can anyone help me take a crack at this?

Building a section for you is waaay beyond the scope of the forums you need to drastically narrow the scope of the question.

What have you done so far, do you have example code iusses, or demonstration urls.

It can be drastically simpler to just use a slideshow library found on the internet in a custom section, or look at the dawn reference's slide section

than try to learn how the anatomy of an existing theme works if you have no experience with html,css,javascript or liquid.

If you need this built for your or walked through a themes code then contact me by mail for services.

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

Thanks Paul,

You nailed it, I just need to look at the anatomy of the code and try to figure out how to implement it properly. Was looking for guidance, appreciate the post

Good stuff, @ponbru  @MRamzan  made a general tutorial over on youtube with code available online that's pretty concise.

Just make sure if using this to test loading performance or add lazy-loading to not swamp users bandwidth with lots of video.
