Sliders

About

Sliders is a Prestashop module to manage and display sliders. It focuses on performances and currently support:

• same images on multiple sliders
• srcset attribute
• preloading
• lazy loading

This module is currently used in production websites with Prestashop 1.6 and PHP 7+, but you may need to tweak some CSS and/or JS for your needs. The best way to make changes and still get updates is to create your own git branch and rebase/merge/cherry-pick new versions or specific commits.

Installation

This module is best used with Composer managing your Prestashop project globally. This method follows best practices for managing external dependencies of a PHP project.

Create or edit composer.json in the Prestashop root directory:

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/creativewave/ps-cwcarousel"
  },
  {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/creativewave/ps-objectmodel-extension"
  }
],
"require": {
  "creativewave/ps-cwmedia": "^1"
},

Then run composer update.

Todo

• Improvement: use admin module controllers.
• Improvement: remove CSS/JS dependencies.
• Improvement: preload first image and lazy load the others.
• Improvement: use CSS variables instead of inlining CSS.
• Unit tests
