Slider Comparison
Tiki includes several content sliders (also known as carousels, image rotaters, or slide shows) that can be used to display a series of images or other content. This table is to provide some help in deciding which one to use.
| Slider | Plugin | Author URL | Code repository | Development Status | Pluses | Minuses | |
| Swiper | PluginSwiper (wikiplugin_swiper) | http://idangero.us/swiper/ | Github | Active | Lots of features. See http://idangero.us/swiper/demos/ | ||
| Bootstrap Carousel | List (wikiplugin_list) https://doc.tiki.org/PluginList-output-control-block#Carousel_Formatting | https://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/ | Github | Active. | Works with List wiki plugin. | No plugin help modal. Sparse Tiki documentation. Depends on Search, which adds a layer of complexity (for example, search set up and index rebuilding). | |
