Introduction
Turn a handful of images into a polished, touch-friendly slideshow. Pick Overlay, Split, or Stacked, choose a transition, and publish it in any module position. No jQuery, no page builder.
Diapo Slideshow is a Joomla site module for Joomla 4.4, 5, and 6. Slides can come from Media Manager, a folder under images/, or article intro images. It sits flush with your template by default, and you can add radius, a frame, a divider, a shadow, or your own colours when you want a card look.
Why site owners choose it
- Three layouts: Overlay (caption on the image), Split (image plus caption panel), or Stacked (image then caption)
- Three slide sources: manual Media Manager rows, a whole folder, or intro images from an article category
- Smooth motion: fade, slide, zoom, or none, plus optional Ken Burns and autoplay
- Fits your template: flush by default, with optional radius, frame, divider, shadow, accent, and line colour
- Rich controls: side or bar arrows, bars / dots / numbers, counter, thumbnails, play / pause, progress, and fullscreen
- Accessible and modern: keyboard, swipe, RTL, and reduced-motion support
- Responsive Split: stacks automatically when the module sits in a narrow column
Perfect when you want
- A homepage hero with captions and a call-to-action link
- A portfolio or project strip fed from article intro images
- A quick gallery from a folder you already upload to
- A sidebar slideshow that stays readable on small screens
- A lightweight slider that does not load jQuery or a second slider library
