Issue Summary
First, thank you for the your great contribution! I saw your podcast too, and it's awesome. Do you have any plan to implement jcarousel with control like http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/examples/static_controls.html?

No plan at the moment but you are welcome to roll a patch to add it.
The controls can be added via a theme, though.

+1 Controls like this would be terrific.

Guys, there's a long comparison about carousels and the many modules that do this sort of feature - including this module.

Thanks momendo!
great contribution with your post.
I agree with your conclusion. the best mods are those that integrate well with views, imo.
it almost makes sense to just get into views and add optional transition effects to the ajax pager... know what i mean? there's a post about that here: http://drupal.org/node/382394.

Hi, what's the status on this topic ?
I'm looking for a pager along with views carousel, just as the one in the attached image.
I've seen here that there is a way to trigger the pages with links at the end of this screencast :

http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/infinite-carousel.html
There's even better here with links that can be arranged as tabs to control the pages

I am not a jQuery coder at all, nor php yet, so I wish I could help to add these features. I'm gonna watch deeply this tuto and see if I can add this feature myself. But I still don't even know how to make a patch so it's gonna take a while before I can figure it out.

Hi I use the carousel in http://elephant-studios.com
The problem is that it's used as a navigation menu and the active node isn't related to the corresponding item in the carousel (with a now playing status). When I click on an item I load the corresponding node and the carousel is back to the start. That's disturbing.
Here's an example of what I mean :

I just love this module. Using views for everything really gets me going. Cudos to the developers.
I would also much like to have the control and/or pager options for the carousel.
Is there anyone that have any knowledge about adding it manually via a theme? I just need a heads up for where to start and could then gladly try to start help building a patch for the function when I get it working on my end.
