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

SleekView reads sliders, slides and generators together and renders the catalog as a sortable, filterable WP Admin grid. One row per slider with type, slide count, generator source and placement count as columns. Filters narrow by type (Simple, Block, Showcase, Carousel, Accordion), by generator source, or by placement status.

Every column reads through the same nextend2 tables Smart Slider already maintains, so front-end slider rendering is unchanged. The dashboard view of the same dataset is one click away.

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: type, generator references and slide-level params are all queryable. The cost is that the default admin treats every slider as a destination, so cross-cutting questions about type mix, generator coverage and placement go unasked. SleekView reads the same tables and renders the catalog as a sortable WP Admin grid.

Type becomes a filter, generator source becomes a column, placement coverage separates the live sliders from the empty drafts. The Smart Slider data has been there all along, the table just renders it.
