My reply was actually to @carlwhat...
:

Yup yup! I understood that, just had to resubscribe becasue I accidentally hit the unsubscribe link, and it was a chance to try and stay in the loop.

There is an update already submitted, just not yet available in the Plugins because it's awaiting Moderators' approval

Approved.

Well, uhm... OwlCarousel may be dead, but it's still quite good. The version currently available for download was based on OC 2.3.3, and I've submitted an update about a week ago (takes quite long to get approved). The update uses the latest OC 2.3.4 which definitely does work with jQuery 3.5.1 (tested on ZC 1.5.7b without issues)...

"jquery-migrate-3.3.2.js:100 JQMIGRATE: jQuery.type is deprecated"

one of many....

thanks for playing!

now about that recycle bin commission...

OK, this has gotta be something I'm not familiar with or don't understand. How come it's working just fine on a vanilla ZC 1.5.7b (using jQuery 3.5.1 out of the box)? I'll definitely check that replacement (tiny-slider) when I get a chance, but until then, I guess we're stuck with OwlCarousel.

Maybe https://swiperjs.com ?

Very nice, love it! I'll see what I can do to convert it, thanks! But sadly, last day in the saddle today, back to work as of Mon so no ETA.

apparently deprecation means, encouragement of other alternatives...

from: https://blog.jquery.com/2018/01/19/j...a-new-feature/


"...These functions have either lost some of their usefulness over time, are considered to be less favorable than available alternatives, or were intended for internal usage from the beginning. While most of these will be removed in jQuery 4.0, it’s worth noting that we do not consider the deprecation of a method to mean that it will be removed; it means that we encourage the use of alternatives."

which is why, still working on a vanilla install using 3.5.1.

but new development using owl.... no. i'm going to remove it from my clients sites.... hopefully....

best.

can i check folks i have version 1.0.4 of this module and im getting issues on google page speed insight indicating an excessive dom size which seems to relate to the items displayed in the carousel with some 1358 elements. I can tell its the carousel or the image just unsure which and if the module perhaps has an updated version that would resolve the issue for me?

If i disable the carousel i have no warning about excessive dom elements and my page speed score increases from 63 to 74 :/ hoping improve load speed to help seo? not sure if thats how it works but it has a terrible score for mobile and the desktop score is 95 or 96 with the carousel disabled?

Uhm... 1.0.4? Are you sure you're using THIS plugin?

A URL would be helpful to get started. However, 1358 elements in the carousel alone really is excessive - perhaps you're just showing too many products in the carousel? the speed impact shouldn't be THAT significant, unless the images are not optimized, but again, really hard to say anything without the URL in question.

apologies for that oversight and this seems to be the only module i can find with the name and the filenames match, maybe it has been tweaked when added to my site? i mean i have easy populate 4 update my computing section every hour to keep the stock accurate (possibly more often tbh) so perhaps its loading all of those in the new column?
