Showcase your best content in a horizontal, scrollable view.
Carousel is a Livefyre App that allows you to showcase your best content in a horizontal, scrollable view. Use this App on pages with limited real estate, inviting people to experience each piece of curated content individually, in real time. A Carousel allows users to browse content, then click to select an item, and open it within a popup modal.
For a less distracting viewing experience, a Carousel displays the latest content and keeps the current view until the user reloads the next set of items.
A Carousel displays Livefyre and streamed content as a horizontal slideshow. A Carousel allows users to browse content, then click to select an item, and open it within a popup modal.

Supported content containing:
Supported content sources:
A site visitor sees content populated into a Carousel from Studio from a Studio Stream or Social Search. If new content is published to the App while a site visitor is on the page, the site visitor must refresh the page to see the updated content. New published content appears in the App after up to 5 minutes.
A Carousel dynamically recalculates the number of characters to display depending on the screen or container size. If there are more characters than the Carousel can display, then an ellipsis (“…”) ends the displayed text.
If a URL exists, the URL is highlighted in a bar when you click on the content. If there is more than one URL, the card highlights only one URL. Any additional URLs are truncated by an ellipsis (“…”).
You can choose the mode you want to use:
Desktop responsive mode
Desktop vertical mode: Always vertical, shrinks as the container gets smaller
Mobile: Always vertical, shrinks to fit the size of the screen
A site visitor can:
Content with a “Featured” tag appears in front. If you feature more than one content item, each item will appear in the front of the app in order of the content published date.
Content count: Content count stays at the bottom of the Carousel and increases or decreases as a user scrolls.
Wrap-around: A Carousel wraps around from the last item to the first item. If there are fewer than six items in the Carousel, the Carousel stops at the sixth post and does not rotate back to the first post.
You can add an Upload Button to a Carousel. If you publish the Upload Button to the App while a site visitor is on the page, the site visitor must refresh the page to see the updated content. The Upload Button will appear in the App after up to 5 minutes.
