Slides

Open the module and click the Slides tab. This is where the images come from.

Manual slides

Default source. Each row can have:

• Image (required): Media Manager file or an http(s) image URL
• Alt text
• Eyebrow, Title, Description: plain text. Empty fields leave no hole in the caption
• Link: optional URL. Internal paths such as /about are allowed. javascript: links are rejected
• Link target: Same window or New window. New window adds rel="noopener"
• Slide interval (ms): 0 uses the module interval. A positive value overrides autoplay for that slide only

Use Add, Remove, and Move to reorder rows. Rows with a missing image are skipped.

Image folder

• Set Slide source to Image folder
• Pick a folder under images/
• JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF files load in filename order
• The filename becomes the alt text. Folder slides have no captions in 3.5

Joomla articles

• Set Slide source to Joomla articles
• Pick one or more categories, a count (1 to 30), order, and featured filter
• Each slide uses the intro image, title, introtext (plain), and article URL
• Items with no intro image are skipped
• Exclude current article hides the article being viewed

Empty source

If no slides remain after skipping bad rows, the module renders nothing. You will not see empty chrome or a JavaScript error.
