Hi Noman, thanks for the link. very useful.

However using views there is soem challanges as the code for pagintions., and limits are populated even if you dont use the options.

what should be the Pagination and Sliders Settings ? No paginations ?

thanks.

[Noman]

Yes to disable Pagination and limit, just them as No -- screenshot attached.

- I have implemented a test carousel slider here:
hidden link

- View that I have used:
hidden link

You have not added CSS, JS for the owl carousel, I have added that css, js in the Views CSS editor and JS editor sections. You can use this View and modify as needed -- please make sure to backup it or duplicate it and then modify as needed. This sample slider view will server as an example for you.

- Own carousel API doc:
hidden link

Have a great weekend, Thank you

Hi Noman,

i notice this view shortcode :https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-view

1. can we use this inside a content template to fetch latest posting and posting limits ?
2. is there any implication of using content template vs Views ?

thanks for explanations !

Hi Noman, i understand my mistake at early stage. i enter the owl carsl div
" <div class="owl-carousel owl-theme">" at the wrong locations., it was in the loop template.

correct method is what you have done, outside the loop.
regarding the css and js i have removed and it auto ref/fetch from my uploaded dir .

i still would like to understand more on :
using content template vs views, the pro and cons etc.

many thanks !

Hi,

Just got back from weekend today. You can insert that Views into the Content Template. The reason we are using View here instead of Content Template:

- That we are fetching images from Post images (featured image) and we need to run through all posts to get all the images (loop is needed for this). Also Limit, offset, orderby attributes helps.

- In Content Template we don’t have loop but the slider can probably be creating in CT as well. For this one needs to use Repeating image field >> then use [wpv-for-each] over the repeating image field to loop through all images in the repeating image field >> this shortcode also has End (limit) and couple other attributes to use:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-for-each

More info here:
https://toolset.com/faq/whats-the-difference-between-a-view-and-a-view-template/

Main benefit of Views is that it has Query filter, ordering, limit, pagination controls, ajax loading, etc.

Thanks
