Smart Slider 3 stores its work in dedicated nextend2 tables: a sliders table for the slider row (id, title, type, params blob with controls and dimensions), a slides table for slide rows (id, slider_id, params, slide content, generator id), and a generators table for dynamic generators (id, source type like wp_posts, woocommerce, instagram, plus configuration). The Smart Slider admin shows a tile per slider with limited cross-filtering.

SleekView Charts reads sliders, slides, and generators together. Number cards count total sliders and total slides. Pie cards split sliders by type (Simple, Block, Showcase, Carousel, Accordion) or by generator source. Bar cards rank sliders by slide count or by post placement. Area cards trace creation cadence across the catalog.

Every card reads through the same nextend2 tables Smart Slider already maintains, so front-end slider rendering is unchanged. The dashboard sits alongside the SleekView table view of the same dataset, shared filters and all.

Smart Slider 3 is one of the most widely installed WordPress slider plugins, with millions of active installs, and the nextend2 tables it ships are well-indexed and detailed: slider type, dynamic generator references, and slide-level params are all queryable. The cost is that the default Smart Slider admin treats every slider as a destination, so cross-cutting questions about slider-type mix, generator coverage, and placement go unasked. SleekView Charts reads the same tables and gives the catalog one reporting dashboard.

A donut of slider type confirms which patterns the team relies on. A bar of generator source exposes which dynamic integrations earn their place. A horizontal bar of slide counts surfaces overlong sliders and empty drafts together.

A single number KPI gives owners catalog scale at a glance. The Smart Slider data has been there all along, the dashboard just renders it.
