Add Media Carousel to Shopify Vintage Themes

Instructions on how to set up the media carousel widget on vintage Shopify themes.

Prerequisites

This tutorial assumes that you've already completed the initial Recenio widget setup.

Media carousel widget setup

• Open your Shopify Admin and navigate to your online store themes. Select a theme where you want to add the media carousel widget, click on the actions menu and select 'Edit code'.

• Create a new snippet in the Snippets folder named recenio-media-carousel-widget.liquid

• Paste the following code inside the recenio-media-carousel-widget.liquid snippet.

{%- comment -%}
  Settings:

  Top Padding
  Description: widget top padding in px
  Values: between 0 and 50

  Bottom Padding
  Description: widget bottom padding in px
  Values: between 0 and 50

  Page Size
  Description: how much media to display
  Values: between 3 and 20

{%- endcomment -%}

{% if product != blank %}
    {% capture product_id %} data-product-id="{{ product.id }}"{% endcapture %}
    {% capture product_metadata %}
        <script type="application/json" data-product-metadata>{{ product.metafields.recenio.metadata }}</script>
    {% endcapture %}
{% endif %}

{% capture settings %}
    data-top-padding="20"
    data-bottom-padding="20"
    data-page-size="12"
{% endcapture %}

<div class="recenio-media-carousel" {{ product_id }}>{{ product_metadata }}</div>

• Now you can use the following snippet to place the media carousel widget wherever you want in your theme.

{% render 'recenio-media-carousel-widget' %}

• If you would like to show media from a specific product instead of all products, use the following snippet instead.

{% render 'recenio-media-carousel-widget', product: product %}
