Flexslider – still missing arrows, pause/play

Hi @pxmstaff,

Sorry for the inconvenience. I will take a look at this issue today and reply back later. Thanks for the feedback

Hi @pxmstaff,

I can’t find where the MetaSlider previously had play/pause functionality. Do you remember where you set that up?

As for the arrows, often the issue has just been for the user to clear their site cache plugin. However, if you have a link to a test site I can take a looka s to what is going on.

Thanks

Unfortunately, the client limits site access by IP. No caching plugin is currently being used. I’ve switched them to the R. Slider, which displays the arrows just fine and only required some CSS adjustments for margins and caption placement.

Regarding pause/play, I just remembered that we had to add manually add those controls to ensure the slider met 508/WCAG standards. Will manually add those again. My apologies for the confusion. Be awesome if that was an added though. ??

Hi @pxmstaff,

Good idea. It might be something we add in the future so I will let you know here if we do. Thanks for the follow up. I’ll close this issue for now but feel free to open a new one if you have any more issues. Thanks

First, great plugin, easy for clients to use and understand. I agree with PXMstaff if the pause/play options could be added to be turned off/on, that would be a huge enhancement. WCAG/508 is the elephant in the room for web dev/design. More industries are getting compliance pressure to meet the WCAG and are getting sued if they don’t.

I definitely want to add my vote to have this included in a future release.

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve added it to out development list, but you can also add your own controls too quite easily.

Here are the two functions. Just replace XX with the id of the slideshow.

jQuery('#metaslider_XX').flexslider('pause');
jQuery('#metaslider_XX').flexslider('play');

Thanks! What file would you recommend adding the pause/play function to?
