Gazley Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi there, In the past, I've used RoyalSlider for slide shows but generally find it a bit "convoluted". I also use an image caching service that serves up the best images for the page/device/bandwidth and because a piece of JS fetches the images (based on html5 attributes), this can cause a few issues with slideshows. I just wondered whether there is any particular slideshow used by PW devs that is considered to be really good? I'd appreciate any recommendations! Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stikki Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I like this due it's minimalistic footprint. http://responsiveslides.com/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Cycle2 works wonders for me. ResponsiveSlides is nice and clean, but lacks support for some features I tend to need (such as custom markup). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwired Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I used bx-slider for a while until I found out that with many slides it really starts to drain resources. In windows taskmanager under the Tab performance I could see the bar go way up. So in chosing an image slider check how much resources it is going to drain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpr Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've used Owl carousel with loading images via JSON (+ fancybox for the lightbox part): http://owlgraphic.com/owlcarousel/demos/customJson.html ResponsiveSlides looks pretty neat, will try it in the next project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten Baldes Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I used Slick on several projects and it worked really well. There's also http://www.idangero.us/swiper/ which is similar to slick but with more options regarding the transitions and layout. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NooseLadder Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Cycle2 works wonders for me. ResponsiveSlides is nice and clean, but lacks support for some features I tend to need (such as custom markup). Another +1 for Cycle2. Easy to implement and customise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Foundation Interchange js is a nice one too, truly responsive because it lets you use different image resolutions. http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/interchange.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
