Created page with " Carousel returns one of a list of image fil..."

New page

Carousel returns one of a list of image filenames.

The index of the one chosen increments every 'switchsecs',
which is a parameter giving the number of seconds between switches.
* <code>switchsecs=3600</code> would switch every hour
* <code>switchsecs=43200</code> would be every 12 hours
* <code>switchsecs=86400</code> would be daily (the default)

== Usage ==
Generic:
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name = name-of-data-module | switchsecs = number-of-seconds }}</nowiki></code>
Examples:
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main }}</nowiki></code> for 24 hours between switches using default list
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | switchsecs = 10}}</nowiki></code> for 10 sec between switches using default list
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name= | switchsecs = 1}}</nowiki></code> 1 sec between switches using default list
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name=Komodobish | switchsecs = 5}}</nowiki></code> 5 sec using Komodobish's list
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:carousel | main | name=54129 | switchsecs = 43200}}</nowiki></code> 12 hours using Serial Number 54129's list

The image lists are at [[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Carousel/]], e.g. [[Module:Carousel/Komodobish]] for <code><nowiki>name=Komodobish</nowiki></code>.

Typically it will be used with standard image syntax:
* <code><nowiki>[[File:{{#invoke:carousel | main | name=Komodobish | switchsecs = 5}} | upright=1.25 | center | thumb | message goes here]]</nowiki></code> → [[File:{{#invoke:carousel|main|name=Komodobish|switchsecs=5}}|upright=1.25|center|thumb|message goes here]]
