It appears that the *only* documentation for implementing a Carousel using this module is the short paragraph on the home page. It is my opinion that this is confusing and will not lead users to be able to exercise the full power of this module.
For instance, the current documentation:
To Create Bootstrap Carousel
1. Create a view of the content you wish to display
2. For your format, select 'Boostrap Carousel' and also select show 'Bootstrap Carousel' instead of fields or node, you will also need to go to settings in the View and select which items will appear in the carousel, you can select up to three items.
3. Next, within 'Pager' select the number of items to be included in the carousel.
Note: This module will display only one item per time on the carousel.
I have followed these directions to the best of my ability, and I am still unable to get a carousel properly displaying images.
Here are some things I think should be cleared up:
- "you will also need to go to settings in the View" - this could refer to multiple things. I'm assuming that they mean settings for the "Show" parameter.
- "and select which items will appear in the carousel, you can select up to three items" - What??? Does this mean to select a particular field to use for the image, a field for the caption, and a field for the title? That seems to be the only thing available...
- "Next, within 'Pager' select the number of items to be included in the carousel." - Can I not just select "display all items?" I have to specify a number? Also, there are FOUR options for pager. Need more specificity here.
If someone could even just send me a screenshot of a working view that shows a carousel, I'd be HAPPY to rewrite this documentation in a way that makes more sense.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong... my current view looks like this http://i.imgur.com/CtsGwzw.png

tigertrussell commentedSo I'm trying to create a carousel from a single field that has unlimited cardinality... I think that might be my issue.
Instead of popping out the items one at a time as rows, the thing is printing a single list of images...

lcampanis commentedYou are right for the instructions, they need to be a bit clearer.
However, there is nothing different to the original Bootstrap in the way the HTML/CSS is laid out.
As I run into the same issue, the problem was with the Lazyloader module.
I disabled Lazyload for the Carousel page, by editing the Lazyload settings in /admin/config/media/lazyloader, and added my page in the excluded pages.
