Rotating Banner

Ive Attached two examples of what I'm trying to accomplish.  The ATL Hawks and The New Yorker, both of which I am wanting Elements/Functions from.


Is there a way to have a Rotating banner at the top and the built-in icons at the bottom with out having it set up as entitlement? and how would I go about that?

My purpose to have the rotating banner at the top is to showcase new products which link to collections or articles.

ATL Hawks APP, they have a tab that is clickable to nav to other pages and a rotating banner above. How did they accomplish that?

Thanks,

    Short answer... Not yet.  Once HTML Content for Banners and/or Animated Banners are enabled - which, as I understand, are both on the road map, but not here yet, you will be able to do what you want. However, at this point in time, only static imagery which can be linked to external content is all that is currently available for Banners.

    Jonathon, are you trying to do this with the previous version of DPS or the new DPS 2015 product?

    Im working with Indesign CC 2014 for layout, and setting up my files in DPS 2015.

    Did some digging around, with others facing the same issue of having a banner at the top that links to articles or collections. It seems others have used Edge Animate to get this effect of a top banner that might link to a collection to highlight, for example 5 new products.

    Im still having a issue's in edge, once I create the edge /.oam file and place it within the indesign file, and create a navto, which cancels the animation. The command navto placed on the .oam will not work either. Is there a work around for this or another code to use to make this work?

    In DPS 2015 there isn't a way to do a rotating banner in a browse page yet, as Tommy mentioned. We don't support HTML rendering in browse pages at the moment.

    If I where to put a button on top of a image sequence that would link to another collection, does navto:// work in DPS 2015?

    I saw in another post as of Aug 4, you can’t navto a collection in 2015. Is this still true?

    Also can you have a article as your main landing page, instead of a collection (2015)? So I could link to collections off that landing article.

    We support collection links on iOS and Windows as of last release, and Android will get support for it when we ship this release. Yes, you can have an article as your main landing page.

    Ok if that is the case, for my example below. How would I make the "Article: Home" the First thing the person see's as the landing page.

    In addition to having the Box A  which is on the home article Link to a Collection?

    Thanks,

    The UI is a bit misleading in this case. Your article will be the first item to appear when you launch the app. The "home" icon appears next to the first collection in your top-level collection, but your home article will actually be the first item to appear when your app is launched.


    We recommend using a collection instead of an article as your first launch experience, but you can make an article "home" as you've done. When you view your app, you'll see the article first.
