Summary Block: How can I set the Carousel to "autoplay"?

For some reason this solution (the original approved solution) has stopped working... has anyone else experienced this?

We are using the Brine template. It may have happened after the most current Squarespace update because all was working fine for the past several months.

Does this code still work? Does it need a script source to work? I can't seem to get this working.

This script stopped working properly for us in March 2019. Possibly due to a SS update? Would love help figuring out how to adjust.

@tb1200 I was thinking the same. I realized that we had successfully implemented this in the past with another page on our site, but that it had stopped working. Wasn't sure when.

@WTCOC Any ideas on how to get this working again?

Perhaps @Paul2009 may have some ideas? I know he collaborated on some of the answers on this one as well.

This code is still working for me. However, when using an index, I did find I had to put the code in the header of the index rather than one of the pages in the index.

@lmusielak @tb1200 Which template are you using? We are using the Hayden template.

Hi there. I am wondering how to change the amount of time each piece of the summary block is displayed. I have tried adjusting the duration variable but it still only displays each entry for about 5 seconds. Thoughts?

--I'm not a coder-- but I mixed code from a couple of answers and got this to work in the updated 2019 SS. Note: It does not work in the preview and you have to view your site from an incognito window (aka signed out of the backend to see it). PLUS you need to add this to the page header code injection section. If the page is in an Index, you need to add it to the Index's header code injection.

<script>
    Y.on('domready', function () {
        var galleries = Y.Squarespace.GalleryManager.getGalleries();
        for( i = 0; i < galleries.length; i++){
            galleries[i].setAttrs({
              "autoplay": true,
              "autoplayOptions": {
          "timeout":10000,
          "randomize": true
              }
            })
        }
    });
</script>

so.... i tried all suggested solutions and nothing seemed to work for the past 3 hours.

the most recent suggested solution by @LJSpace did not work for me either.

the value

galleries

returned is just weird. It returns an empty

array

and yet there are some

t

weird-object-looking thing (you should know what i mean if you're a developer).

i started investigating the

Y.Squarespace

object in the console and thank god i found a solution!

just paste the following into the code injection. im on squarespace 7 and using the Bryant theme.

<script>
   Y.on('domready', function () {
       Y.Squarespace.Gallery2.ATTRS.autoplay.value = true
   })
</script>

hope it helps the next person who reads this!

The solution worked for me, but how do I control how much time passes. Right now it about 12 seconds between pages and longer at the end before it restarts. That is too long for my use. 

Thanks!

@bheiberg change from 10000 to something like 5000 the lower, the faster

"timeout":10000,

Strange, maybe try again, I think SquareSpace made some updates. I also started using a different code for this, which I found in an earlier post since I wanted to target a specific gallery. Remember to add this to the page header code injection OR the header code injection for the Index if it's in an Index. Also it may not work in preview. Try testing it from an incognito window in your browser.

<script>  
 Y.on('domready', function () {
   try {
     var container = Y.one("#reviews"); /*change this to the slug of your page*/
     var gallery = Y.Squarespace.GalleryManager.getGalleryByContainer(container);
     gallery.setAttrs({
       "autoplay":true,
       "autoplayOptions": {
         "timeout":9000, /*make this higher to decrease speed, lower to increase it*/
         "randomize": true
       }
     });
   } catch (e) {
     console.error("Could not configure Gallery autoplay.", e);
   }
 });
</script>

Great, I got this working on my index (Brine). Thanks everyone for the collaborative effort.

For any noobs (like me) the slug replacement would be ("#pagename") - which is the page name you're sourcing your testimonials from, which in my case was called Testimonials

Two questions - as this code injection stuff is kind of another coding format to the Design CSS... how can we add easing to this? It's linear animation could be tweaked to be more pleasing. And how do we remove the arrows? (as they are no longer needed in my case)

An issue:

It seems to only work on the first load up of that page. i.e if you navigate to another page, then navigate back, be that via avigation or browser back buton.. then it no longer animates. You have to refresh.

Moving the arrows

I decided to leave the arrows in, because as mentioned the autoplay only works on the first interaction with the carousel.

This code I got from: https://thirtyeightvisuals.com/blog/custom-arrows-testimonial-carousel-squarespace

Which also outlines more customisations to the carousel should you wish

/////TESTIMONIALS ARROWS///

.summary-carousel-pager {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 0;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  width: 100% !important;
  z-index: 1;
}

.sqs-gallery-design-carousel .sqs-gallery-controls .previous {
  float: left;
}
.sqs-gallery-design-carousel .sqs-gallery-controls .previous,
.sqs-gallery-design-carousel .sqs-gallery-controls .next {
  margin:0;
}

Hi guys, 

Is this still working? I've been trying to make it work for hours and nothing works.
Please help!
Thank you

@shaysaf - built mine on Brine a couple of days ago, no problem. Using the code from @LJSpace posted in November 2019

@LJSpace

Your code works great! Any way to get it to loop like the original code?

Thanks!

In case someone wants to customize a specific gallery, you can find it by section name. You can make a section with a slug, for example: "home-testimonials". Then, find the gallery that resides inside this container.

Example:

<script>  
 Y.on('domready', function () {
   try {
     var container = Y.one("#home-testimonials");
     var gallery = Y.Squarespace.GalleryManager.getGalleryByContainer(container);
     gallery.setAttrs({
       "autoplay":true,
       "autoplayOptions": {
         "timeout":20000,
         "randomize": true
       }
     });
   } catch (e) {
     console.error("Could not configure Gallery autoplay.", e);
   }
 });
</script>

 

 

Hi, I'm trying to add an autorotating carousel to the bottom of this index page: https://brynbonino.com/.  I've tried several variations of code on this page. This seems to be the most recent answer. Can you help me out? I can't seem to get it to work. I've copied the above to the header of the page in the index that the carousel is in.  Am I doing anything wrong?

I'm curious if anyone has tried this in 7.1? It's not working for me and the error I'm getting is "Y is not defined"? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Add to Home > Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {

</script>

This FINALLY worked. THANK YOU. A question my loop is functioning but it takes almost 20 seconds to loop. I'm great with CSS and HTML, new to JavaScript. How do I control the loop?

is there a way to make the summary carousel loop/repeat items when you get to the end but not autoplay?

I'm another person trying to get a Reel slideshow to autoplay in 7.1. I've seen a few answers floating around, but none seem to be working for me. Have folks confirmed that the code above shared by @Andrei and @tuanphan makes autoplay work for slideshow blocks in 7.1? If yes, I'm seeing people post that it works either when injected in the footer of the whole site or under advanced settings for a particular page — which is working? 

And maybe I'm completely missing something here, but should the slug added to target your gallery be your page ID (e.g. collection ID found in body tag) or section id for the gallery itself? 🙃
