[Resolved] Slider not working

Hi,

I got one issue and one question.

My issue:

I am trying to: create a slider with images from a custom post type. I followed the instructions in the training course Part 5 – Sliders.

I expected to see: the next-previous navigation and one image at the same time

Instead, I got: no navigation and all images appear one after the other like on the attached screenshot.

My question:

I wonder if it is possible to create a layout for the images like this one: hidden link

As you can see, when you click on a thumbnail, the image in the main image frame changes. I didn't see this in the Toolset demos.

Thanks.

Dear Eric,

You are right, there isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, but it is possible with some JS codes, see the live demo:
hidden link

and similar thread:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/custom-image-fields-child-type-create-slider/

For your reference.

Hi Luo,

Thanks for your help. I followed the thread you referred to in your reply but I still can't get it to work.

I added the jQuery Cycle Plugin to my child theme. That seems to work. But I have some problems with the view settings.

I tried to implement the settings from this thread: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/jquery-cycle-for-use-with-images-in-a-singe-post/. But no images appear when I use these settings. When I modify the query options and uncheck "Don't include current page in query results" I see my pictures but they still appear one after the other.

Could you take a look at my view settings in the attached image?

And here is my code:

For the filter editor:

[wpv-filter-start hide="false"]
[wpv-filter-controls][/wpv-filter-controls]
[wpv-pagination][wpv-pager-current-page style="link"][/wpv-pagination]
[wpv-filter-end]

For the Loop Output Editor:

 [wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
	<wpv-loop>
		[wpv-post-body view_template="Car slider - slide"]
	</wpv-loop>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

For the View template:

<div id="the_images">
[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-image"]
[types field="image" id=""][/types] 
[/wpv-for-each]
</div>

JS editor:

js jQuery('#the_images').cycle('fade');

Thanks.

I wonder if the thread you mentioned is still up to date. So I also tried to set up a simple slideshow like described here: hidden link

I added the jquery.min.js script that was missing in the header and modified the content template like this:

<div id="cycle-2" class="cycle-slideshow">
[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-image"]
[types field="image" id=""][/types] 
[/wpv-for-each]
</div>

I checked the source code of my webiste. It should work but it doesn't. The pictures are still one after the other.

Since it needs custom codes, please provide a test site with same problem, fill below private detail box with login details, also point out the problem page URL and view URL, I can setup a demo for you. thanks

I tried the login URL you provided above, but it redirect me to another:
hidden link

and I get this error message:

Please check it, make sure I can login your website with the credentials you provided, thanks

Hi,

Strange. I don't get redirected when I try to access the admin. Be sure to use the exact access url provided. Please note there's a maintenance page. You should login first, not to be redirected to the "error message".

Thanks

Thanks for the details, I can login your website, since there is a character problem with the Cycle2 JS codes, so I tried another JS frame work in your website:
https://woocommerce.com/flexslider/

See the result page:
hidden link

Here is the detail steps:
1) Edit the PHP codes in your theme/functions.php as below:

function add_cycle_slider_js() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'flexslider-js', '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>', array( 'jquery' )); 
	wp_enqueue_style( 'flexslider-css', '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>');
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_cycle_slider_js' );

2) Edit the layout, replace the view cell with a content template cell, with below codes:

<!-- Place somewhere in the <body> of your page -->
<div id="slider" class="flexslider">
  <ul class="slides">
      	[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-image"]
			<li>[types field="image" id="" size="large"][/types]</li>
		[/wpv-for-each]
    <!-- items mirrored twice, total of 12 -->
  </ul>
</div>
<div id="carousel" class="flexslider">
  <ul class="slides">
      	[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-image"]
			<li>[types field="image" id="" size="thumbnail"][/types]</li>
		[/wpv-for-each]
    <!-- items mirrored twice, total of 12 -->
  </ul>
</div>

And with below JS codes:

jQuery(window).load(function() {
  // The slider being synced must be initialized first
  jQuery('#carousel').flexslider({
    animation: "slide",
    controlNav: false,
    animationLoop: false,
    slideshow: false,
    itemWidth: 210,
    itemMargin: 5,
    asNavFor: '#slider'
  });
 
  jQuery('#slider').flexslider({
    animation: "slide",
    controlNav: false,
    animationLoop: false,
    slideshow: false,
    sync: "#carousel"
  });

});

Please test again, check if it is fixed or not. thanks
