Usage

Through the web ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you are configuring your Dexterity-based type through the web-based interface, then proceed to edit your content type in the Dexterity Content Types control panel. Under the Behaviours tab you will find the Collective Carousel Behaviour behaviour -- select this and save your content type.

Upon adding or editing an object of your content type, you will see the new field accordingly.

Generic Setup (file system) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you've created a file-system Dexterity type configuration, you need to specify the relevant interface as a behaviour::

collective.carouselbehaviour.collectivecarouselbehaviour.ICollectiveCarouselBehaviour

and import or re-import your type configuration. As an example, a type configuration at ${product_dir}/profiles/default/types/my.datatype.xml would look like this::

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="my.datatype"
    meta_type="Dexterity FTI"
    xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n"
    i18n:domain="tdh.metadata">
    ...
    <property name="behaviors">
        <element value="collective.carouselbehaviour.collectivecarouselbehaviour.ICollectiveCarouselBehaviour"/>
    </property>
    ...
</object>
