sweet_Girl seeks help in replicating two functions from the Robotime community forum: a big carousel and minimal category boxes. NateDhaliwal suggests using the Big Carousel component and Minimal Category Boxes. After installing the component, sweet_Girl reports that the categories are not displaying on the homepage as desired. NateDhaliwal clarifies that the categories appear on the /categories page. sweet_Girl insists on having the categories displayed on the homepage. Further investigation by NateDhaliwal reveals that the Robotime community uses a customization to render categories in the above-discovery-categories outlet, and they might also be using the Featured Categories Header plugin.

Can someone tell me how these two functions are achieved? Is it with a theme or a plugin?

Hi there, did you see the list in your other topic?

I believe (1) is the Big Carousel component, and (2) is Minimal Category Boxes.

I have installed the component, but it doesn’t work as expected. I’m wondering if there is something else I need to do? I want the categories to be displayed directly on the homepage, but after installing this component, they are still not displayed.

IIRC it’s there if you go to /categories.

I dug around to find if the Robotime community is using some customizations, and I don’t think they are. They’re placing the categories in:

api.renderInOutlet("above-discovery-categories", _customCategoryBoxes.default);

which is the default, so it beats me as to why it appears on both the category page and the homepage.

They also seem to be using this:
