A behavior to create banners and sliders from banners.
A banner is usually some text and an image that is displayed above of the content.
The behavior collective.behavior.banner.banner.IBanner has various fields (image, title, subtitle, richtext, link, linkcaption etc) that are combined to build a banner. You can enable the behavior on any Dexterity type (tested with plone.app.contenttypes) or for the whole Plone site.
The behavior collective.behavior.banner.slider.ISlider adds the option to add relations to several banners (i.e. items that have the Banner behavior enabled). These banners are then displayed like a banner but fade.
The slider viewlet uses the javascript library http://responsiveslides.com and fades from one banner to another. You can easily use a different javascript libray by overriding the viewlet templates (see below).
Before you use a slider/carousel on your website, please take time to read http://shouldiuseacarousel.com.
Banners are inherited by child objects. In a controlpanel you can configure which types should display inherited banners. You can also prevent inheriting banners for an item and its child objects by enabling the option Do not inherit banner from parents on the banner tab. If you want a banner for the entire site, you can assign one to the default content of the Navigation Root (or Plone site root).
To change the appearance (e.g. if you use a bootstrap theme or want to use a different effect in the slider) you can easily override the respective viewlets with z3c.jbot or plone.app.themingplugins (if you use plone.app.theming). The names of the files to create would be collective.behavior.banner.browser.banner.pt and collective.behavior.banner.browser.slider.pt.
collective.behavior.banner is used on the following sites:
collective.behavior.banner works in Plone 4, 5 and 6.
- Plone 6: 2.x
- Plone 5: 1.x
- Plone 4: 0.x
To install collective.behavior.banner you simply add collective.behavior.banner to the list of eggs in your buildout, run buildout and restart Plone. Then, install collective.behavior.banner using the Add-ons control panel.
Enable the behavior by hand or in the FTI <your_package>/profiles/default/types/Folder.xml:

<object name="Folder" meta_type="Dexterity FTI">
<property name="behaviors" purge="False">
<element value="collective.behavior.banner.banner.IBanner"/>
