Pretty Slider is a Joomla module that shows a slider with an image, a title and a short description per slide.

The slides come from the articles of one or more categories, or you create them yourself in the module.

We have added the following features
  • Slides from the published articles in the selected categories, or from all categories.
  • Or manual slides: add your own slides with an image, alt text, title, description, link and button.
  • Optional button on article slides, with your own text.
  • Bootstrap button classes to pick per button, plus your own class; class settings for the main div, title and description.
  • Uses the intro image or the full article image, with the other one as fallback; articles without an image are skipped.
  • Description from the article text, the image alt text or the image caption, cut off at a length you choose.
  • Article ordering and direction, including random.
  • Autoplay with a pause button and a setting for the seconds per slide; autoplay does not start for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
  • Optional bullets to go to a slide, and an optional progress line that fills up until the next slide.
  • Image alt text, labelled slides and a title element you choose, so the slider works with screen readers and fits the heading structure of the page.
  • English and Dutch language files.
Requirements
  • Joomla 5.4 or Joomla 6.
  • PHP 8.1 or newer (Joomla 6 itself requires PHP 8.3).
  • A template that loads Bootstrap 5 styles, such as Cassiopeia.
