Hey guys,

First of all I wanna thank you for sharing this amazing and easy to implement script.

I have only 1 issue though: I there a way you can keep the ALT content a little bit longer? Changing the pauseTime and transitionTime parameters only change the images slider times.

Thanks in advance,

Armand

Hi Abdul,

You can download the latest version v2012.7.26 of the slider that includes the fix.

If you still feel the caption is a little bit latency, please let me know and I will update the code to let the caption come out at the same time when the slide starts rolling in.

I have fixed the bug and uploaded the fix. Please download the package again.

I didn't update the release number. It is still v2012.7.3.

Now the caption fading in(or rolling in) time is 1/5 of pauseTime, but no greater than 500ms.

Thanks Armand again for finding this issue.

Hi Armand,

Are you using the latest version v2012.7.3? The new update has updated the caption to start rolling in as soon as the picture comes. Before this release it starts rolling in as soon as the previous caption is out.

So basically the caption's staying time is the pauseTime minus the caption's fading in (or rolling in) time. If you want it to stay longer, you can try:

Make the pauseTime longer;
Change the captionEffect to "none" in the script.

Hi Milo and thank you for the prompt reply.

Yes, I'm using the version v2012.7.3.
I put pauseTime: 4400, transitionTime: 500 as new inputs and I can see a little bit of an improvement of the latency.
If I put it above 4800 the caption appears only on the 1st image and I lose the rest. This could be a bug.

Here are the settings you may try if you wanna reproduce it.

var sliderOptions=

{

sliderId: "slider",

effect: "13",

effectRandom: true,

pauseTime: 4400,

transitionTime: 500,

slices: 12,

boxes: 8,

hoverPause: true,

autoAdvance: true,

captionOpacity: 0,

captionEffect: "fade",

thumbnailsWrapperId: "thumbs",

license: "free"

};

Putting captionEffect: "none" doesn't quite help because the caption is not shown at all.

Thanks for your feedback,

Armand
