Why is the bootstrap carousel component not working properly in Liferay?

I created a new fragment, and in it, I copy-pasted the standard Bootstrap carousel component code, both css and javascript. The CSS works well, and the fragment looks like the normal carousel, but when I click on a slide, there is a blank white page between each slide. I tried using the CDN link instead, and it's the same.

Here's my code:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

<div id="carouselExampleIndicators" class="carousel slide pointer-event" data-bs-ride="true">
      <div class="carousel-indicators">
        <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="0" class="" aria-label="Slide 1"></button>
        <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="1" aria-label="Slide 2" class=""></button>
        <button type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide-to="2" aria-label="Slide 3" class="active" aria-current="true"></button>
      </div>
      <div class="carousel-inner">
        <div class="carousel-item">
          <svg class="bd-placeholder-img bd-placeholder-img-lg d-block w-100" width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="img" aria-label="Placeholder: First slide" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false"><title>Placeholder</title><rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#777"></rect><text x="50%" y="50%" fill="#555" dy=".3em">First slide</text></svg>
    
        </div>
        <div class="carousel-item">
          <svg class="bd-placeholder-img bd-placeholder-img-lg d-block w-100" width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="img" aria-label="Placeholder: Second slide" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false"><title>Placeholder</title><rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#666"></rect><text x="50%" y="50%" fill="#444" dy=".3em">Second slide</text></svg>
    
        </div>
        <div class="carousel-item active">
          <svg class="bd-placeholder-img bd-placeholder-img-lg d-block w-100" width="800" height="400" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" role="img" aria-label="Placeholder: Third slide" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" focusable="false"><title>Placeholder</title><rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#555"></rect><text x="50%" y="50%" fill="#333" dy=".3em">Third slide</text></svg>
    
        </div>
      </div>
      <button class="carousel-control-prev" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide="prev">
        <span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        <span class="visually-hidden">Previous</span>
      </button>
      <button class="carousel-control-next" type="button" data-bs-target="#carouselExampleIndicators" data-bs-slide="next">
        <span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
        <span class="visually-hidden">Next</span>
      </button>
    </div>

And this is what I am seeing: First slide

When I click second slide, a blank white page slides in first

Then the normal 2nd slide appears after the blank one

This doesn't happen on any other working environment, so therefore it must be a Liferay issue.

I am inserting the custom fragment inside a page, and then just 'viewing' it.

Why is this happening?

Solution

  • If I'm not mistaken, Liferay 7.4 includes Bootstrap 4. You're pulling in your own carousel and I'm quite certain that this mismatch causes issues.
