comparison

This page came about as a result of this post that lists Tabs and Slideshow Modules in the Similar Module Review group. The linked post lists several modules that provide either tabbed content or rotating content.
There are two general use cases here:

• A device to provide access to large amounts of regular site content from one area of the page (tabbed content).
• A device to showcase featured content, often on the home page, in an eye-catching manner (rotating/sliding content).

This comparison page is limited to the latter use case. It is open to discussion whether the ideal eventual outcome of any consolidation between the best features of the best of the modules would be a package that includes both types of feature.

Available modules overview

There are many modules that provide some sort of slideshow / rotator functionality.

• Views Slideshow Liquid Slider - A fully responsive, HTML5 jQuery content slider for both web and mobile devices.
• Content Glider - Another jQuery plugin for image slider, very easy to use.

Comparison of Node Ordering Modules

The standard ordering for lists of nodes in Drupal is first by the "sticky" attribute and then by the created date. Many content modules have some facility to change this ordering, but only for their content type. The modules described here attempt to provide a more controllable ordering in a variety of ways.

Choosing between glossary-type modules

There are several glossary-type modules available, all of which are designed for slightly different needs. This page is here to help you choose which module you should probably be using, or if you should really write your own.
