Slider Comparison
Tiki includes several content sliders (also known as carousels, image rotaters, swipers, 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 Name | Plugin Name | Author URL | Code Repository | Since | Status | Pluses | Minuses | |
| Swiper | PluginSwiper (wikiplugin_swiper) | https://swiperjs.com/ | Github | Tiki 19 | Active (Recommended) | Lots of features. See http://swiperjs.com/demos/ | ||
| Bootstrap Carousel | List (wikiplugin_list) PluginList output control block | https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/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). | ||
