Embed Quotes Carousel on Plone

01

Create a Quotes Carousel add-on for Plone on Common Ninja

First, create a Plone Quotes Carousel add-on on Common Ninja. On the add-ons catalog, find the Quotes Carousel and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Quotes Carousel add-on

When you're done creating the Quotes Carousel add-on, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Quotes Carousel Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Quotes Carousel add-on to your Plone website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the add-on embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Plone website.

04

Paste the code to your Plone website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Plone website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Plone’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Quotes Carousel Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Quotes Carousel add-on on your Plone website.

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Quotes Carousel add-on on your Plone add-on. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Plone website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Quotes Carousel add-on to your Plone website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Plone website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Quotes Carousel widget when you want to share inspiring messages, brand values, or short testimonials in a focused way. Rotating quotes draw the eye, create rhythm on the page, and let you show multiple voices inside a small area. You can mix customer praise, expert statements, mission phrases, or impactful statistics framed as one line insights. This works for personal brands, coaching sites, nonprofits, SaaS, and any project that benefits from emotional connection or authority signals. By placing the carousel near calls to action or at key storytelling moments, you reinforce the feelings you want visitors to hold as they decide what to do next.
