www.ads-software.com Showcase Slider

Which website’s showcase?

Sorry, there are no links and I’m not sure what you’re looking at.

Ipstenu,

Sorry, I forgot to place this: www.ads-software.com/Showcase

Thanks for replying by-the-way.

Anything on www.ads-software.com itself is likely to be a custom build.

Ipstenu & esmi,

I had been hoping to pick the brain(s)of whomever decided on which format to use for a WordPress 3.4 slider. Someone made a decision; I was just wondering how they arrived at it.

(Trying to save myself some time. Why not learn directly from the experts?)

www.ads-software.com is a custom build all around (what they use may not work for anyone else).

That looks like jquery slider. We’ve got lots: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/tags/slider

Ipstenu,

Sorting through all of those choices was what I was trying to avoid.

I was thinking that the Core Developers had already sorted through what was available AND made a decision as to what works best for the new 3.4 version of WordPress.

I was also wondering if a default Slider(s) were going to become part of the WordPress Core.

Just wondering.

Highly unlikely ??

It’s best used as a slider for people who want it.

(By the way, it’s a logical fallacy to presume that what the core devs do is the right or best way for you to do something. You need to find the best for you.)

As you can tell from https://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2012/02/wordpress-slider-plugin.html – best is pretty subjective ??

Ipstenu,

You have a sense of humor!

Code, CSS, Plugins, Scripts, Et al.

I would think that someone with an extensive background in various programming codes would have the capability to create highly efficient software with the least amount of excess baggage involved. In other words, it seems such a person could create a lean-mean-fighting-machine piece of software.

I’m not that individual (canine, human, or shapeshifter). What I do is piece together as many parts of a puzzle as I can to get a desired result. Sometimes it’s pretty….sometimes it’s not.

I was being lazy and giving the benefit-of-the-doubt to the Core Developers of WordPress.

So far, they have been pretty successful.

I do, but I was serious!

A lot of the code here on Wp.org isn’t stuff most of us would need. Plugins are hugely subjective.

There are a lot of plugins that can do this. They’re not using one, they wrote their own and have not (yet) released it, probably because there are so many similar.

(Also this isn’t a Alpha/beta question, so I moved it out to Misc.)
