Custom HTML Timed - Particle for Gantry

This project contains a Gantry Particle and is based on the default Gantry - Custom HTML Particle but extends it with timing features (e.g. default, one-time or annual). Hence, it is now possible to plan a time frame when the particle should be rendered. Custom HTML Timed is an advanced version of the standard Particle created by Gantry and RocketTheme. Furthermore, it provides an easy, user friendly and GUI assisted configuration and integration. In the current revision the following CMSs are supported:

• Joomla
• Wordpress
• Grav
