This one shows how to pull existing content into a paragraph and choose how each referenced item is rendered — title only, title with teaser, or title with an image.

One correction before you start

The Node Reference bundle does not reference any content type on your site. Every reference field in node_reference_bundle is restricted to a single content type, pb_node_reference, which the sub-module installs for exactly this purpose with a Body and an image field. Content you want to surface this way has to live in that type; an Article will not appear in the autocomplete.

Four display modes

The PB Content View Mode select drives everything else:

  • Display (Title + Image) Narrow Mode — square-ish crop, made for cards and 3D carousels.
  • Display (Title + Image) Wide Mode — the wide crop used in slideshows.
  • Display (Title + Teaser) — no image.
  • Display (Title Only) — a bare linked heading.

Each mode has its own reference field, and a small admin script shows only the field that matches your choice, so the form never presents four autocompletes at once.

Why the bundle exists

It is the supply line for the visual bundles: a slideshow or a 3D carousel of real, maintained content rather than duplicated copy. A dedicated 700x420 image style is installed for the carousel mode.

Dependencies worth knowing

Its info file pulls in Paragraph Bundle Image and core's Responsive Image — the comments in that file record why: without them both view displays are skipped silently at install and the content type ends up with no default display. Core requirement is ^11.3 || ^12.

Install details are on the Paragraphs Bundles module page.

Inspiration

It's that magical moment when something clicks inside your brain, and you suddenly see a path forward that you hadn't noticed before. Inspiration can strike at any time, providing the motivation and energy needed to explore new possibilities and bring your ideas to life.

Unique Ideas

Unique Ideas

Unique ideas are the seeds of innovation, representing original thoughts or concepts that stand out from the usual. They're the sparks that ignite the process of creating something new and different, often leading to unexpected and groundbreaking solutions or products. Whether in art, science, business, or technology, unique ideas challenge the status quo and pave the way for progress.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a creative group activity designed to generate a large number of ideas or solutions to a problem. It's a free-flowing and open-ended discussion where every suggestion is welcomed and considered, no matter how outlandish it may seem. Brainstorming encourages thinking outside the box, fostering an environment where creativity and collaboration lead to innovative solutions.

Planning
