hey

duplicating issue from jCarousel:
--------------------------------------------------
i'm finding a LOT of slideshow modules, but particularly, too many jQuery Carousel modules.
any plans to merge/replace these kind of modules?

jCarousel (jquery plugin) modules (the big two):
jCarousel vs JCarousel formatter framework

Views modules (depends on the modules above):
Views Carousel vs jCarousel for Views

Other similar modules:
Carousel - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin), the reincarnation of jCarousel for D7, in development
jCarousel Lite - uses jCarousel Lite (jquery plugin), limited configuration
Views Slideshow JCarousel Thumbs - uses jCarousel Lite (jquery plugin), integrated with Views Slideshow
jQuery UI Carousel - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin)
jcarousel block - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin), very limited configuration

there are a few other jCarousel modules and lots of other slideshow modules (many use jQuery.cycle or other plugins)

the differences between Views Carousel and jCarousel for Views sums up to this:

the dependency on jCarousel vs JCarousel formatter framework:
viewscarousel.info

dependencies[] = views
dependencies[] = jcarousel

aef_jcarousel_views

dependencies[] = aef_jcarousel
dependencies[] = aef_utilities

and a few changes:
viewscarousel_style_plugin.inc

    $form['visible'] = array(
      '#type' => 'checkbox',
      '#title' => t('Visibility'),
      '#default_value' => $this->options['visible'],
      '#description' => t('If set, the width/height of the items will be calculated and set depending on the width/height of the clipping, so that exactly that number of items will be visible.'),
    );

+

    $form['wrap'] = array(
      '#type' => 'select',
      '#title' => t('Wrap content'),
      '#default_value' => $this->options['wrap'],
      '#description' => t('Specifies whether to wrap at the first/last item (or both) and jump back to the start/end.'),
      '#options' => array(
        0 => t('Disabled'),
        'first' => t('First'),
        'last' => t('Last'),
        'both' => t('Both'),
        'circular' => t('Circular'),
      ),
    );

aef_jcarousel_views_style_plugin.inc:

    $form['visible'] = array(
      '#type' => 'textfield',
      '#title' => t('Visibility'),
      '#default_value' => $this->options['visible'],
      '#size' => 4,
      '#maxlength' => 4,
      '#description' => t('If set, the width/height of the items will be calculated and set depending on the width/height of the clipping, so that exactly that number of items will be visible.'),
    );

+

    $form['wrap'] = array(
      '#type' => 'select',
      '#title' => t('Wrap content'),
      '#default_value' => $this->options['wrap'],
      '#description' => t('Specifies whether to wrap at the first/last item (or both) and jump back to the start/end.'),
      '#options' => array(0 => t('Disabled'), 'first' => t('First'), 'last' => t('Last'), 'both' => t('Both')),
    );

Due to the length of this issue, I decided to create a new post over at #983844: Deprecate this module now that jCarousel includes it, though they have the exact same purpose. Let's move over there considering it contains a more actionable suggestion.
