use joomla module as slider content

Asked by Dina Abramson 1 year ago Last activity 1 year ago

I am updating a Joomla 3 site at https://gatewayaccounting.ca/ to Joomla 5 and using PB to create the home page.
My development site is at https://linkslandgolf.com/
I have 3 modules that I would like to use within the slider. I can recreate the module content into the slider content but thought it would be a helpful feature if one could create different modules and insert them into slides. I could have multiple modules that I could change now and then without having to change each slide content. It could be useful for different seasons or subjects.

Hi Dina,

To be honest, I don't remember any Slideshow extension for Joomla 3, 4 or 5 who had option to use Modules as Slide items. In most cases you have to edit each item adding/editing content manually or use Articles as slide items.

Of course you can hire freelancer who can develop you such a extension, but it will be costly, not worth it.

My personal reflections are: I think that using Dynamic Content (one day) in SPPB for Slideshow addon would be much better than just X modules. If you client shouldn't touch SPPB, maybe just use Slideshow module, and then the entire management of this section will be from a single module ;p
