Removing play/stop button about anythingslider HOT 8 CLOSED

Set 'buildNavigation' and 'autoPlay' to false. Unfortunately this will disable the auto-rotate feature because there is no way to turn it back on. I think we may need to tweak the system so that autorotate can work without a start stop button (depending on how this is handled). Possible solutions would be A: autorotate continues until an arrow is clicked, and then stops forever or B: autorotate resumes after a longer period of time, however this may still annoy visitors. Links or events in or around the slider however may serve as replacement controls (like clicking play on a video)

I know you are concerned about visitors getting annoyed that slides they have selected move too soon, but in my situation I have a relatively long period between rotations and am more concerned that visitors will get bored and want to move on before the slide auto-rotates. So, for me solution B with the normal delay would be perfect.

Hi amirweg!

I just pushed version 1.5.6 with a new option called "autoPlayLocked". Set it to true to prevent the slide show from stopping with user interaction... it's not a very user friendly option, but since it's been requested a few times now, I've added it.

Additionally to hide the start/stop button, just add it to the CSS:

div.anythingSlider .start-stop { display: none; }

I was thinking more along the lines of a second delay timer after user interaction. If the slide animates every 5 seconds then the autorotate could resume after 10 or 15

Hmm, that might be a better idea :P

ok the latest version now has a resumeDelay option to set the time... I also fixed the start/stop button to actually stop the slideshow.

I tried using the autoPlayLocked/ResumeDelay solution. After clicking an arrow the animation does resume but only for the first animation, afterwards it remains stopped.

I'm not sure what method is used to create autoPlayLocked but it seems to me that the easiest solution to the original problem in to switch the code the causes the play to stop in the first place.

Thanks for you help,

Amir

Hi Amir!

Sorry, I swear I had it working properly before I pushed that version. It's just been updated again and should now be working properly again.
