I want a client's site to have a slideshow in its front page, but I failed to make Bootstrap's carousel to work. Any recommendation or How-Tos on making a slideshow that works on Wikidot?
Thank you in advance :D

Or Carousel
As a matter of fact, I made a snippet a couple months back meant to make carousel creation simpler.
This page demonstrates it in use, using the following code:
[[include :snippets:carousel
|id=main-page
|interval=6000
|imageMain=game.png
|image01=meeting.png
|image02=event.png
|imageMainCaption=[[image http://tagd.wikidot.com/local--files/home:home/logo_white-457x158.png alt="TAGD" class="img-responsive"]]@< >@

(account deleted)Not exactly a how-to, but I posted couple of demos here on the Bootstrap Playground site. You can examine the source and use what ever you need. It shows the default carousel and how to change the transition from a slide in/out to a fade.
Thanks Tim and Ed! :D
I think Ed's documentation should be pinned tho, It's useful for creating custom carousel.
For a non-Bootstrap carousel (although of course it might work on bootstrap sites as well), the Nivo slideshow is really good and I used it on several sites successfully, for example the site at http://www.greentree.co
The syntax and another example is at http://vineyard.wikidot.com/slideshow:nivo

Yes, Nivo slider very good and I'm sure would work fine in a Bootstrap site.
@Rob, have you seen Slick yet? I have my eye on that one for a non-Wikidot project and want to try it on Wikidot as well. It looks really impressive.
Thanks, Slick looks really good. I'll give it a go but the next task on the horizon is to understand Bootstrap (I didn't get a chance on holiday)!

I really need to spend some time reorganizing things on the Bootstrap Playground, especially the home page and navigation. We have a few demos there that aren't exactly easy to find. My original intent for that site was for it to be a good resource for information as well as a place to try Bootstrap-related stuff out.
@Ed
That's a good idea since people can find many good documentation/demo on bootstrap playground, i.e. proper modal usage.
