Basics of my approach to sliders:
- Query arguments for selection of posts.
- Get The Image (plus custom code and caching when needed) to mine for images.
- Separate function for markup generation so it could be easily swapped.
- Just add JavaScript slider you like. When you like/need another more just swap markup and script.
Of course this approach is better for pre-configured slider or parameters are generated by code and it doesn’t need to have manual controls.
