Release of new Carousel Element planned?

Hello,
we have been using the “Essential Addons for Cornerstone” Plugin for the past 2 years. Last week, I contacted their customer support with a couple of questions.
They came back and told me that Cornerstone no longer allows third-party API integrations, so they have stopped developing the plugin and have no plan to release another version of this plugin.
I was very surprised, perhaps I missed an update over the past couple of months.

We are currently using the EA carousel element on a number of main pages on our website, e.g. under the Milestone section on: https://www.managetopia.com/managetopia/
The EA plugin is very easy to use and enables flexible customization of the layout and display of headers, sub-headers, text etc. This basically was the reason, why we couldn’t use the Classic Slider Element. Also, reverting to the revolution slider extension at the time was not an option, as I had lots of issues implementing the layout I needed.

My question…can I continue using the EA Classic elements for the foreseeable future?

Even better, are there plans to upgrade the current Classic Slider element to support the same flexibility as the EA Plugin?

Looking forward to your feedback and many thanks as always for your assistance,
Cara

Hey Cara,

Regretfully, we don’t know the feature of the EA Carousel element as we didn’t create it so, therefore, we couldn’t comment on anything related to it.

We have some carousel elements listed as potential elements to be added in the future. Regretfully, we don’t guarantee that it will be added nor we could provide an ETA if they will be created.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding third-party developers and API, we have just launched our Element API. It’s included in Pro 3.0.0, X 7.0.0, Cornerstone 4.0.0 release.

Try passing along our Element API documentation to the Essential Addons for Cornerstone developers.

Thanks.

Hi @christian_y,
Wow that was quick!
Customer Support, brilliant as ever :thumbsup:

I will certainly pass on the links to the API documentation. Thanks for including.

Certainly, I would prefer to use your Cornerstone Carousel elements and hopefully they will be scheduled for release in the near future. I will certainly watch out for updates in upcoming releases.

Thanks for your help

We certainly appreciate the feedback,

Cheers!
