Documentation (J5 / J6)

This version is brand new so you need to set module again

Custom Carousel Pro is a Joomla 5 site module that renders a Bootstrap 5 carousel using Joomla’s built-in Bootstrap assets. Slides are managed through a repeatable (subform) field in the module options, allowing you to build a carousel with titles, rich content (editor), and background styling per slide. 

Installation

  1. Go to System → Install → Extensions.
  2. Upload the provided module ZIP.
  3. After installation, go to Content → Site Modules and create/configure Custom Carousel Pro.

If your system requires the manifest at ZIP root, use the package labeled _root.zip.
