Carousels on Next Gen templates come with a new set of settings, allowing you faster, easier and better customization.
Here is the new list of settings, and we will explain them in details below:
Title:
In product carousels: always displayed above the products list. If a carousel is based on a rule, the name will also be a link to the filtered search results containing all items matching your criteria.
In image carousels: not displayed by default (but can be with a new setting)
🆕 Subtitle:
If exists, it will display under the Carousel Title.
🆕 Show title:
(setting applies only to Image carousels)
If enabled, it will display the Carousel Title above the images.
🆕 Display type:
Allows for switching the display of the carousel.
Default: Slider
Available options: Slider, Grid, Email
Slider: renders as a carousel (typical behavior)
Grid: renders as a "grid" — not a slider, with items dropping into next line if there is more of them
Email: renders an email-safe, table-based markup, ready to be placed in your WebStore email template
