A PrestaShop 8.1+/9.x module for building multiple independent product carousels, each rendered through display hooks or the native WidgetInterface — powered by Slick Slider.
Most carousel modules give you one slider, one place, one hard-coded look. Real stores need more:
- How do I show bestsellers on the home page and a hand-picked set in the footer — independently?
- Can one slider live in several hooks with a different order in each?
- Can I drop a specific carousel anywhere in my theme without touching the module?
- Will the product cards still match my theme's prices, promos and buttons?
This module answers all four: any number of sliders, each assignable to multiple hooks with an independent order per hook, embeddable by ID via the PrestaShop widget, rendering product cards through the active theme's own presenter.
| Area | What you get |
|---|---|
| Multiple sliders | Unlimited independent carousels from one install |
| Hook assignment | Assign a slider to many hooks; drag-and-drop order kept per hook |
| Widget embed | {widget name='simpleproductcarousel' id_slider=3} anywhere in a template |
| Product sources | Category (with subcategories), manual pick, or automatic: bestsellers / new / price drops |
| Slick options | Slides to show/scroll, autoplay, arrows & dots presets, infinite, lazy load, center mode, responsive breakpoints — all validated, no raw JSON field |
| Theme-native cards | Uses PrestaShop's product presenter → correct prices, promos, currencies, per-shop context |
| Safe by default | Assets loaded only on pages with a slider, once per page; graceful fallback if JS/Slick fail |
The directory installed in PrestaShop must be named simpleproductcarousel:
<prestashop>/modules/simpleproductcarousel/
Then install from the Back Office module manager, or from the PrestaShop root:
php bin/console prestashop:module install simpleproductcarousel- PrestaShop: 8.1.0 – 9.x (
ps_versions_compliancy8.1.0 → 9.99.99). Verified on PrestaShop 8.2 and 9.0.3. - PHP: 8.1+.
- Slick Slider 1.8.1 and jQuery are loaded from CDN, only on pages that render a slider. jQuery uses the one provided by PrestaShop/your theme by default; a clearly-warned "force jQuery" fallback is available and off by default.
The module ships with no runtime Composer dependencies — install it as-is. Dev tooling
(PHPUnit, PHP_CodeSniffer) lives under require-dev:
composer install # dev tools only
composer test # PHPUnit (tests/Integration)
composer cs # PSR-2 check (phpcs)
composer quality # cs + testThe PHP sources follow PSR-2 (phpcs.xml.dist) and are covered by PHPUnit integration
tests for the database schema and module metadata.
Simple Product Carousel Pro installs alongside the free module (separate tables, config keys, controller and assets — both can run in the same shop) and adds a filtered-catalog source:
- multiple brands combined with OR;
- multiple values of the same feature combined with OR;
- different features / filter types combined with AND;
- optional restriction to one category, with or without subcategories;
- tags picked through an autocomplete search.
