Advice on how to read contents of .txt file to template
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:05 am
Hi
I'm looping through an image folder and displaying the images in a bootstrap carousel in the news detail template.
That is working very well
My problem is that there should be a caption and a text for each image.
My solution is to put a .txt file which contains caption contents for each image in the folder. So I have img1.jpg then there is a file called img1.txt in the same folder etc. (each image has a corresponding .txt file which contains contents that have to be read to the caption section in the code below)
I'm not sure how I would implement that solution to the {foreach} loop.
Can someone advise me about best practice for that solution.
I'm still not that advanced in CMSMS
Below is a copy of the Carousel code for clarification.
