Homepage News carousel example

Published News records become cards in the homepage carousel. Image, Title, and CardText provide the main content; OriginalCreationDate supplies the date; ActivityType supplies the label and icon; and Profile supplies the coloured square behind the icon.

Activity type icons

The News card prints the localized ActivityType label above the title and displays its icon over the lower-left corner of the image. The icon itself is black; the background square uses the record's Profile colour.

Warning

Avoid Public Program News when an icon is required on the card. The current frontend does not map this value to an icon, and its multi-word label lookup is also inconsistent with the available translation key.
