Is there a way to add Rotating Content, whose contents change every few seconds, to an Orchard CMS website?
By Rotating Content, I mean that I want to display some Content which disappears after an amount of time (say 5 seconds) and gets replaced by another piece of Content, drawn either at random or in sequence from a list of Content Items. A bit like a slide show, but with Content including text with nice fonts, html links, images, etc... rather than just images.
You can create a projection and then style it with a jquery slider plugin to do it. You will have a lot of control over what is displayed that way. Steve Taylor wrote a nice tutorial on one way to achieve this (by creating a custom new layout): http://www.stevetaylor.me.uk/image-carousel-using-twitter-bootstrap-and-orchard-cms-projections
Or you can checkout the Featured Item module on the gallery: http://gallery.orchardproject.net/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.FeaturedItemSlider I think you create featured items that are displayed in the slider.
There is another module a colleague of mine has made which he will be releasing to the gallery that does a similar thing to the featureditemslider module but uses projections. So look out for that one very soon.
