autoscroll list items in gallery view

Site URL: https://monroe-dems.squarespace.com/

Is there a way for the list items (in gallery view) to autoscroll, that is, to rotate automatically, as if somebody was clicking the "next" arrow?

I only had to make a small tweak to the code to get it to work – I changed

.user-items-list-banner-slideshow__arrow-button--right

to .user-items-list-carousel__arrow-button--right

Awesome, thank you!!!

Ok and my next question is, is there a way for the viewer to stop the scrolling action?  For example if they click on the "back" arrow to go back one item, they probably don't want it to keep moving again.  Or if they clicked anywhere in the list item (over any text that didn't have any link already)

I had already added that feature to the code but that code was in a DM. Please see Section Auto Layout Right Arrow Auto Click.

That a is bit of a tricky one. I'd have to cogitate on this one a bit. I'm sure something can be done but how involved is it going to be? Once it's stopped, does it start up again? And if so, what is the interval for that. There are subtle things that fall out of a good user interface for this kind of auto play, stopping, starting behaviour.

Bump this thread in several days to remind me if I've not pinged back.

I just got back from vacation recently and was glad to see your response.

I think the preferred behavior is that the auto-scroll stops indefinitely, until the page is refreshed or reloaded in the browser.  And the manual scroll (clicking on forward and back arrows) would not be affected either way (it would still work as usual).

I have updated my code post. I added a kill upon user action.

Let us know how it goes.

I scrolled up and see you've provided a solution already.

It works!

Phenomenal -- thank you!

I'll have another (different) request / question soon, I'm sure  🙂

Hi- this code works great, thank you! Is there a way to hide the arrows?

Add the following to Page Settings > Advanced > Page Header Code Injection for the page. Please see per-page code injection.

<style>
  
  /* desktop */
  
  [data-section-id="61c0e388d893993c573b2206"] .user-items-list-banner-slideshow .arrow-container,
  
  /* mobile */
  
  [data-section-id="61c0e388d893993c573b2206"] .user-items-list-banner-slideshow .mobile-arrows
  
    {
    
      display : none;
      
      }
      
  </style>

This is for v7.1.

Let us know how it goes.

Works great, thank you so much!

Hi- just noticed the arrows are still visible on mobile. Anyway it can be hidden across all breakpoints?

I'm not seeing arrows on mobile. I checked my mobile emulation and on iPhone X.

Can you tell us more about the mobile device? OS? Browser? Do you have a screenshot?

Sorry I was looking at a page I did not apply code to yet. Apologies!!

Looking over this again, actually I can't get it to work on mobile. The reason you were not seeing the arrows previously was because there was no second List Item content added. Currently- the arrows appear on mobile on homepage, /home2 and on /epcs pages. 

@Ekin

I have updated my code post.

There are also some variations that you can do on the code.

It can be made to effect all carousels on a single page.

<style>
  
  /* desktop */
  
  .user-items-list-banner-slideshow .arrow-container,
  
  /* mobile */
  
  .user-items-list-banner-slideshow .mobile-arrows
  
    {
    
      display : none;
      
      }
      
  </style>

For a site wide effect. Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

/* desktop */

.user-items-list-banner-slideshow .arrow-container,

/* mobile */

.user-items-list-banner-slideshow .mobile-arrows

  {
  
    display : none;
    
    }

This works great, thank you again!!

I've seen others ask if you can add the functionality of the slideshow to loop back after the last slide - did you ever add that to the code? I have your code installed on the site I'm working on and it looks great, just need it to loop back around at the end. Here's the site: https://www.dmelv.com/. Thanks!

I have not added that feature in. I have tinkered with some code but there are some subtleties in how the images are being manipulated that, so far, I've not replicated.

Have you considered using the Infinite Scroll feature.

I have updated the code cited in my July 20, 2021 post earlier in this thread.

The code now works for slideshow banner and carousel auto layouts with no arrows.

Hi @creedon 

I can't seem to get code to work - any chance you could take a look? I've checked as well in an incognito window. I'm sure I must have missed something in the installation of the code. I'm not really very used to working with Java Script.

Thanks so much

You missed installing the following at Settings > Developer Tools > Code Injection > HEADER from the install steps.

<x-twc-alraac data-click-interval-seconds="6" data-kill-upon-user-action="true"/>

There are other settings detailed in the Install steps that can be used instead of the above configuration. It all just depends on what you want to accomplish.

@creedon thank you so much for pointing that out. I really appreciate it!
