Making it easier to manage attention grabbing Bootstrap Carousels and compelling Bootstrap Jumbotrons as banners on home pages

Designed to quickly and easily manange attention grabbing Bootstrap carousels and compelling Bootstrap Jumbotrons as banners with the same ease as ordinary Mezzanine pages without editing templates.

The following Bootstrap layouts are supported:

  • Carousel
  • Jumbotron

The Django sites framework is supported.

Jumbotron

Bootstrap jumbotron for a headline grabbing text banner.

A Bootstrap Jumbotron is a great way to present a simple text banner. The information is a subset of a carousel and is managed in a similar fashion.

Unlike a carousel that would has more than one slide, a jumbotron normally has just the one text block.

Banner

A Banner contains the settings for how the Jumbotron should be displayed.

The Title is for your information and will be used to generate the URL if you don’t supply one.

The Bannertype should be set to Jumbotron.

The URL is used to identify the Jumbotron in your template and is autogenerated from the title if you don’t supply one.

Other aspects that affect the display of the Jumbotron is described below.
