How to create sliders for homefeatured,newproducts,bestasellers block in prestashop 1.6

Hi guys,

I want to create slider for featured,new and bestsellers block.

How to do it without any modules through BX sliders.

please help guys.

In my opinion, the module you mentionned is called homeslider. It is called so because it works on homepage.

If you want to change this behavior, you have to edit the module (PHP) and eventually also change some CSS in order to show the new sub-sliders correctly.

And at the end, it would also require a change in the database structure.

 

Why that?

Homeslider names images randomly but has no information about where the image belongs to. It's simply not needed because it only works on the homepage.

My overall guess is that all this changes couln't be made within 2 or 3 hours of work. It would be more like a complete rewrite.

 

Tipp of the day:

Sliders take a lot time to preload all images and for that slow down the load time.

I woun't use them in an excessive way - but it's up to you.

I applied BX-sliders for for all the blocks,its working fine.

but facing one more problem now,

Home tabs are not switching between the contents of featured,new and best sellers,

instead they appear static one below other.

like,

 

featured |new| best     <-tabs

*featured products

*new products

*best sellers

 

sorry i am using local host currently,so i used that bad representation for better understanding purposes.
