Hello,
I have problem with textholder background color. Is there any way to change whole text background? Not only p background at the best. I need not transparent color. Thank you.

I was able to get this work, for anyone interested. It’s not elegant, but served my purposes.

-on lines 179 and 188, change:
;background-image:url(‘+thumb+’)
to
;background-image:url(‘+thumb+’.jpg)

-then rename your thumbnails to the same as your large image plus .jpg. For example, car.jpg becomes car.jpg.jpg. If you’re using a different extension, then obviously change that.

-The last step is to match your thumbnail size to the size listed in the scripts general settings.

Apologies to the author for mutilating your nice code. ;) (but it works!)

thanks great plugin by the way, im sorry if i came off as a bit ignorant. Not very skilled with jquery. So do you know any ways i can keep consistency with the carousel, i.e. hiding captions etc.

Hi,

This is a great plugin. Really easy to implement.
My javascript knowledge is very basic, so I was just wondering how difficult it would be to get the captions to slide left or right with the thumbnails and whether I would be able to implement such a thing with a little instruction?

Thanks again

Jess

A carousel of one image really isn’t a carousel is it? This carousel isn’t intended to work with a single image so I’d suggest not loading the carousel if there’s only one image to work with. I wouldn’t call this a bug either.

Hi im using the carousel and it doesnt seem to work when only one image is in the specified directory. You may wonder why i need this if im only displaying one image, well the images a user uploaded and thus a user may only upload one, so hence is there a bug fix?

Also the play, pause, control buttons. How can these be manipulated other than off/on commands?

How would you center the thumbnail carousel below the main carousel images. For example I have a 700px wide rotating banner. I would like to center the thumbnail carousel directly below the main image rather than it defaulting bottom left as it is now.

Help/Thoughts appreciated.

After some digging around and experimentation, it seems as tho this is only an issue with jQ 1.6.2, or some versions thereabouts. This site uses 1.4.2 for the demos, and works fine. I tried 1.4.2 and 1.7.1 (the latest as of this writing) and both seem to resolve the issue.

Yeah, I want to echo the note about the “speedy carousel”. It seems that in the most current versions of FF and Chrome (at least), there is some issue with how the JS runs in a background tab that causes the carousel to act bizarrely when that tab is selected again.

First, as Oleg stated, the carousel runs fast and without pausing until it “catches up”. But I also saw that even once it caught up and there was a pause again between images, it’s only showing the last image.

Any suggestions??
