Using SlideshowPlugin
The SlideshowPlugin displays a responsive image slideshow (carousel) on any page.
Description
Use this plugin to embed a rotating image gallery directly in a page. Images
advance automatically and visitors can also click the previous/next arrows or

Notes
- The slideshow requires Bootstrap 5 (included globally in the platform theme).
- Images are displayed with
object-fit: coverso they fill the slide area without distortion. - Setting
interval='0'disables autoplay — the visitor must click arrows or dots to advance. controls='false'andindicators='false'can be combined for a completely hands-off auto-rotating banner.- You can place multiple slideshows on the same page and each will run independently.
