I have some sort of a slideshow with a slider where I am showing all images .

Now I want to give my users the ability to filter for certain events or locations and customize the slideshow themeselves.
So I added some filters based on taxonomy and custom slugs. (i hope I am using the right words - see screenshot in german)
So the I have my filters above the slider and they are working fine, BUT
the sliders then stopps going to the next image. If I click the pagination arrows it works, but the 5 second delay between slides is ignored.
(I made some screenshots of my settings).

What am I doing wrong here?
Detailed description would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

Hello Michael and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Actually, that is the intended and expected behavior of the slider view. When the view is initialized in the frontend, it starts moving the slides each 5s(or the configured period). But once the user takes an action on the slider, the moving animation stops and it became static again, to let the user navigate it manually. Currently, there is an option to stop the animation while the user is hovering the slider. But once the user takes action, the slider stops animating.

As a workaround, you can deactivate the AJAX filtering of the view, each time the user will filter, the page will load again and the slider will initialize again. But once, the user chooses a page, for example, the slider will stop.

If you need this feature or an API to start the slider again, please ask it on this page https://toolset.com/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

So, do I understand you correctly, if a user is changing some filtering for the slider, there is currently no way to "start" the slider moving again? (for 5s intervalls)

Wow, I didn't expect that.
