The jCarousel module for Drupal 6 is just a single PHP function call to add jCarousel to the page. If you take a look at hook_help, you'll see it in use. It's a utility module for other modules to use.

jCarousel Block should take advantage of jCarousel module's simple API call.

Yeah, it's possible to call that module as well. This module is mainly designed for people don't familiar with php/js and having problem set it up.

No, I mean jCarousel Block should take advantage of jCarousel module. All they'd have to do is install the module and not worry about the PHP because jCarousel Block would already have the PHP written in the module itself. It would just call jcarousel_add() when enabling the carousel.

This would also allow you to have multiple carousels on at once, because jcarousel_add takes that into consideration.

hey
please check the other modules and the usage of libraries directory and module (/sites/all/libraries):

duplicating issue:
-------------------------------
i'm finding a LOT of slideshow modules, but particularly, too many jQuery Carousel modules.
any plans to merge/replace these kind of modules?

jCarousel (jquery plugin) modules (the big two):
jCarousel vs JCarousel formatter framework

Views modules (depends on the modules above):
Views Carousel vs jCarousel for Views

Other similar modules:
Carousel - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin), the reincarnation of jCarousel for D7, in development
jCarousel Lite - uses jCarousel Lite (jquery plugin), limited configuration
Views Slideshow JCarousel Thumbs - uses jCarousel Lite (jquery plugin), integrated with Views Slideshow
jQuery UI Carousel - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin)
jcarousel block - uses jCarousel (jquery plugin), very limited configuration

there are a few other jCarousel modules and lots of other slideshow modules (many use jQuery.cycle or other plugins)
