Bootstrap carousel multiple frames at once

Question

This is the effect I'm trying to achieve with Bootstrap 3 carousel

Instead of just showing one frame at a time, it displays N frames slide by side. Then when you slide (or when it auto slides), it shifts the group of slides like it does.

Can this be done with bootstrap 3's carousel? I'm hoping I won't have to go hunting for yet another jQuery plugin...

As of 2013-12-08 the answer is no. The effect you are looking for is not possible using Bootstrap 3's generic carousel plugin. However, here's a simple jQuery plugin that seems to do exactly what you want http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/

Answer 2

The most popular answer is right but I think the code is uselessly complicated. With the same css, this jquery code is easier to understand I believe:

$('#myCarousel').carousel({
  interval: 10000
})

$('.carousel .item').each(function() {
  var item = $(this);
  item.siblings().each(function(index) {
    if (index < 4) {
      $(this).children(':first-child').clone().appendTo(item);
    }
  });
});

I've seen your question and answers, and made a new responsive and flexible multi items carousel Gist. you can see it here:

Answer 4

Update 2018

Bootstrap 4

The carousel has changed in 4.x, and the multi-slide animation transitions can be overridden like this...

.carousel-inner .carousel-item-right.active,
.carousel-inner .carousel-item-next {
  transform: translateX(33.33%);
}

.carousel-inner .carousel-item-left.active, 
.carousel-inner .carousel-item-prev {
  transform: translateX(-33.33%)
}

.carousel-inner .carousel-item-right,
.carousel-inner .carousel-item-left{ 
  transform: translateX(0);
}

Bootstrap 4 Alpha.6 Demo
Bootstrap 4.0.0 (show 4, advance 1 at a time)
Bootstrap 4.1.0 (show 3, advance 1 at a time)
Bootstrap 4.1.0 (advance all 4 at once)

---

Another option is a responsive carousel that only shows and advances 1 slide on smaller screens. Instead of cloning the slides like the previous example, this one adjusts the CSS and use jQuery only to move the extra slides to allow for continuous cycling (wrap around):

Don't just copy-and-paste this code. First, understand how it works.

Bootstrap 4 Responsive (show 3, 1 slide on mobile)

@media (min-width: 768px) {

    .carousel-inner .carousel-item.active:not(.carousel-item-right):not(.carousel-item-left) + .carousel-item + .carousel-item {
        transition: none;
    }

    .carousel-inner .carousel-item-next,

Bootstrap 3

Here is a 3.x example on Bootply: http://bootply.com/89193

You need to put an entire row of images in the item active. Here is another version that doesn't stack the images at smaller screen widths: http://bootply.com/92514

EDIT Alternative approach to advance one slide at a time:

Use jQuery to clone the next items..

$('.carousel .item').each(function(){
  var next = $(this).next();
  if (!next.length) {
    next = $(this).siblings(':first');
  }
  next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));

  if (next.next().length>0) {
    next.next().children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
  else {
    $(this).siblings(':first').children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
});

And then CSS to position accordingly...

Before 3.3.1

.carousel-inner .active.left { left: -33%; }
.carousel-inner .next        { left:  33%; }

After 3.3.1

.carousel-inner .item.left.active {
  transform: translateX(-33%);
}
.carousel-inner .item.right.active {
  transform: translateX(33%);
}

.carousel-inner .item.next {
  transform: translateX(33%)
}
.carousel-inner .item.prev {
  transform: translateX(-33%)
}

.carousel-inner .item.right,
.carousel-inner .item.left { 
  transform: translateX(0);
}

This will show 3 at time, but only slide one at a time:

Answer 5

You can add multiple li in ol tag that has attribute as class with value "carousel-indicators" and with data-slide-to has sequential values like 0 to 6 or 0 to 9.

than you just need to copy and paste the div which has attribute as class with value "item".

This works for me.

<div data-ride="carousel" class="carousel slide" id="myCarousel">
    <!-- Indicators -->
    <ol class="carousel-indicators">
        <li class="" data-slide-to="0" data-target="#myCarousel"></li>
        <li data-slide-to="1" data-target="#myCarousel" class=""></li>
        <li data-slide-to="2" data-target="#myCarousel" class="active"></li>
        <li data-slide-to="3" data-target="#myCarousel" class=""></li>
        <li data-slide-to="4" data-target="#myCarousel" class=""></li>
        <li data-slide-to="5" data-target="#myCarousel" class=""></li>
        <li data-slide-to="6" data-target="#myCarousel" class=""></li>
    </ol>
    <div role="listbox" class="carousel-inner">
        <div class="item active">
            <img alt="First slide" src="images/carousel/11.jpg"
                class="first-slide">
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <img alt="Second slide" src="images/carousel/22.jpg"
                class="second-slide">
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <img alt="Third slide" src="images/carousel/33.jpg"
                class="third-slide">
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <img alt="Third slide" src="images/carousel/44.jpeg"
                class="fourth-slide">
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <img alt="Third slide" src="images/carousel/55.jpg"
                class="third-slide">

try this.....it work in mine.... code:

<div class="container">
    <br>
    <div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
