Announcement carousel component
Hey guys- I am wanting to create an announcement component within our Community. Ideally it would be something we could control messages to certain audiences. So, Partners would see partner specific ...

For the longest time, I used one of the custom components in our sidebar for single, static images. In addition to using contextual content based on node, I was also able to wrap the images and text in some if statements to display different content for Partners, Customers, Employees, or guests/anon based on a role check.
I believe the announcement carousel currently on our community is built around jQuery. The contents of the carousel are controlled via Admin as contents of a custom component. I can also wrap the items in the role check. I can't share the carousel-specific stuff with you, but I can share the role check code if you want it.
So how are you pulling the custom content into a custom component. So for example I created a custom component placed it in the header. From there I am doing a role check through IF statements which is working. Now the last part is just getting it to use the custom content so we don't have to push via studio every time we want to make announcement changes. If you are aware of how to connect the custom content to a custom component let me know.
