 * I am looking for a way to create a carousel of featured images for a custom post
   type. Can that be done with this plugin?

 * The short answer is, this plugin doesn’t have a carousel feature, unless you’re
   using a theme with Bootstrap. However, I wrote another plugin with jQuery to 
   use with Custom Content Shortcode. I do it like this, to generate each slide:
 *     ```
       [slider]
           [loop type="book" num="5"]
               [slide]
                   [content field="title"]
                   [content field="thumbnail"]
               [/slide]
           [/loop]
       [/slider]
       ```
   
 * Currently I’m in the process of building a whole library of features to be used
   with Custom Content Shortcode – for example: responsive layouts, tabs, lightbox,
   slider/carousel, scroll to top button, etc. It will be called Custom Toolbox,
   and I’m building a website for it as we speak.
 * I’m a bit torn on how I should offer the slider module. Since you’re in need 
   of it right now, I thought I could make it a free plugin here on the WordPress
   plugin directory. At the same time, it’s part of a premium product that I’m building.
   What are your thoughts on this?

 * Actually I was looking to tie it into the carousel option in the shortcodes ultimate
   if possible. Basically I’m trying to get a 4 item carousel (4 showing at one 
   time, sliding by 4) for use with the wp-property plugin. I get the desired look
   using the carousel feature of shortcode ultimate, but only if I use gallery photos
   only.
 * Any thoughts on using the loop to fill the shortcodes ultimate carousel with 
   at least featured images from a custom post type?

 * I looked into Shortcodes Ultimate – free and full of features.
 * The carousel shortcode takes slides from the gallery, and as far as I could see,
   it doesn’t allow for putting any other content in each slide. It would require
   a customization – the function get_slides looks like it accepts custom post types(
   and their featured images) but the carousel shortcode doesn’t have that parameter.
 * So, probably the fastest solution is to ask the developer as a support/feature
   request.
 * I love the idea of Custom Content Carousel – it’s a logical extension of loop
   and content shortcodes. I’ve got it pretty much built, and rethinking my strategy
   on how to release it. Free and open-source is ideal, but my time is not so free.
 * Thank you for the input, please let me know if I can help any further.

 * Depending on the price, I might be willing to purchase, as I know how valuable
   time for this can be. Thank you so very much for pointing me in the right direction.

 * Sure, I’d be happy to work with you on the content carousel. It’s actually a 
   good incentive for me to get the module ready for general use, and it’d be great
   to hear your opinion on what features would be useful. If you’re interested,

 * Hello Eliot,
    great to hear, will have a look. Although I found another solution
   for now, this might be handy some day.
 * Cheers,
