Hello,
I am using i-lateral's silverstripe-carousel, but I want every image of the carousel to be linked to a page on the website. What is the best way to achieve this?
Thanks.
We've moved the forum!

By reading the instructions of course!

Once installed, you must add the template variable $CarouselSlides to any templates you require a carousel to appear on.
Then, you can setup a carousel by logging into the admin interface and editing the page you want to add a carousel to.
Then click the "Settings" tab, and tick the "add carousel" checkbox.
Once this is done (and you have saved) you will see a width and height overwrite appear (allowing you to change the size of your carousel).
Once you have finished configuring, you can go back to editing you page, and a "carousel" tab should have appeared in the right hand site of the editing pane.
Yes. I have the carousel up and running. All is well except that I want the images to be linked to pages on my site. For now, the images are static, so that nothing happens when a visitor clicks on them. Any ideas? The instructions do not cover how to do this.
Yep, check out the docs on DataExtension.
Create one that adds a has_one to a page (or a textbox for manual entry of a uri, or some kind of combination) and the form fields for filling it in, then apply it to CarouselSlide.
