The Module Spotlight Slider is an excellent way to make your page more visually dynamic, and offer targeted opportunities for advertising on your site. The Spotlight Slider is available for the following modules:
- Events
- Artists
- Businesses
- Educators
- Venues
- Classifieds
Images need to be 1920 x 800px (or shorter) for folks on the Octave theme, and 2048 x 425 for those on the Apollo theme. It can hold unlimited images, but we recommend a limit of 5, so each spotlight holder receives adequate exposure to the site user.
