I'm trying to find a module which I thought would be an easy find but apparently not!

We are simply looking for a module which will create a slider of, say 3 posts at a time but with pages/buttons which will slide through another 3 or so either when the buttons are clicked on or automatically every few seconds. You can see what I have in place just now at https://www.delta-ee.com which is visually what we want but is actually a paginated layout (no sliding) which I've styled to look like buttons.

All we wanted was something similar to this but with the sliding animation. That one just now uses Minitek Wall Pro, I've tried with DJ MediaTools and also BT ContentSlider, both of which have plusses and minuses (DJMT can't display the date or authors and BTCS doesn't seem to be able to access the blog cover images).

Are you aware of any other modules which are compatible with Easyblog (and with Joomla Articles as, as you can see on the homepage, there are two modules, one pulls content from an article category and one from Easyblog)?
Hi Simon,

We do not have any modules that can display and slide 3 posts at a time. Actually I'm not really familiar with sliders as well since I have not tried any them out there.

However, you can definitely check out the smart slider site https://smartslider3.com/ as they have quite an extensive choice of sliders. Other than that, I believe JED has some other similar extensions you can check out too.

Did you ever find a solution? I'm looking for the exact same thing. I'm surprised it's not a default EB feature module :/

We do not have those slider module as what Simon mentioned in earlier, but we do have a simple showcase module, you can try with this Easyblog showcase module.

Just to confirm I tried and *love* SmartSlider3, it's a great slideshow extension which can be used for EasyBlog but also for many other purposes with an amazing amount of options. Highly recommended.
