Add arrows and autoplay to owl carousel template - javascript

I downloaded a template for owl.carousel.min.js - I have no idea how to add autoplay and arrows.
It's on a test server on http://testing.r2group.co.za/Test/index.html about halfway down. I would appreciate ANY help, as I'm proficient with HTML, but the JS is beyond me. (why I downloaded a template)

Have you found documentation for how to use the carousel? That is a good place to start.
The owl is part of a theme I am using. Looks like this javascript is included after the carousel.
<script>
jQuery(function($){
$("#latest_news .owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
lazyLoad: true,
responsiveRefreshRate: 50,
slideSpeed: 500,
paginationSpeed: 500,
scrollPerPage: true,
stopOnHover: true,
rewindNav: true,
rewindSpeed: 600,
pagination: true,
navigation: false,
autoPlay: true,
singleItem: true
});
});
</script>
This tells the browser to start a new script with jQuery.
jQuery(function($){
//code
});
Inside this function is specific to Owl Carousel.
$("latest_news .owl-carousel") selects the proper element. This is where you will use your own CSS selectors to get your slider.
It is being passed a javascript object of parameters for the slider. For your autoplay, you can give it
$("#YOUR-ELEMENT .owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
autoplay: true
});
The arrows are also described by a setting in this object. Looks like the left/right arrows can be added like this:
$("#YOUR-ELEMENT .owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
navigationText:["<i class='icon-left-open'></i>","<i class='icon-right-open'></i>"]
});
So, at a minimum to get your arrows and autoplay, your script should look like this:
<script>
jQuery(function($){
$("#YOUR-ELEMENT .owl-carousel").owlCarousel({
autoplay: true,
navigationText:["<i class='icon-left-open'></i>","<i class='icon-right-open'></i>"]
});
});
</script>
It would be worth looking at which other settings you can change for greater customization. The slideSpeed and rewindSpeed, for example, could be a good place to get familiar playing with javascript.

Can't show paginations (dots) in OwlCarousel

I used owl carousel to create a slideshow, but can't show dots or pagination. I read the documentation and it was stated that it takes key word argument dots: true|false, but when I used dots: true it doesn't show. I also tried pagination: true.
<script>
$(".slider").owlCarousel({
loop: true,
autoplay: true,
autoplayTimeout: 2000,
autoplayHoverPause: true,
dots: true,
});
</script>
here is a pen for full review. Thanks for help
You don't have enough items to trigger the dots. Your loop is 3 and your amount of cards is 3. There is no pagination to show.Also you need to add the class owl-theme to your container with the owl-carousel class and you need a theme file from Owl Carousel, there are a few CDN's and you need any CSS file with theme in the name.
Here's an example with the default theme: https://codepen.io/JHeth/pen/QWyewpy

Images stacking on top instead of sliding using Owl Carousel

My site http://mytempsite.temporary-domain.com
The above page has two images displaying using Owl Carousel but i cant figure out whats going wrong here as i am using examples from the web, so i could have introduced something wrong here.
My carousel setting is
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#banner').owlCarousel({
animateOut: 'fadeOut',
animateIn: 'fadeIn',
items: 1,
smartSpeed: 1000,
autoplay: true,
autoplayTimeout: 6000,
dots: true,
nav: false,
//loop: true,
mouseDrag: false,
touchDrag: false
});
});
</script>
Two images display when they should be sliding across. I am using the latest version of Owl Carousel so not sure if Owl Carousel is the problem or something else? I checked my HTML which looks to be fine and no errors in the Console window (using Chrome)
I have stripped off almost everything from the site to its basic bare bones along with the current Javascript, JQuery, CSS left intact. Any ideas whats going wrong here?
I am not seeing the two CSS files in your source code that the Owl Carousel documentation says are needed for a successful installation (source). You will need to include the following in your <head>.
<!-- change paths to reflect your setup -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="owlcarousel/owl.carousel.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="owlcarousel/owl.theme.default.min.css">

Carousel inside tabs

I have 4 tabs, each containing a carousel. The problem is that only the carousel in the first tab works fine. If you activate the second tabs, the carousel divs are all collapsed.
Here is an example with bootstrap 3 tabs and 'slick' plugin for the carousel: http://www.example.design-way.ro/
I tried multiple tabbing scripts and it's the same problem no matter what I use.
The carousel works fine in the second tab if you try to move it a bit..then it somehow activates.
Is this a plugin initialization problem? Here's how I do it:
$('.carousel').slick({
slidesToShow: 3,
slidesToScroll: 1,
dots: false,
arrows: true
});
Please give me some solution or idea to get this carousel working properly. I tried tweaking the css but I got no result.
I have meet this issue When have 3 tabs, each containing a carousel.
PROBLEM:
The problem is that only the carousel in the first tab works fine.
If you activate the second tabs, the carousel divs are all collapsed.
SOLUTION:
After mail to auther of script for help. We have the resolve:
Moved all CSS files first, followed by all js files
Started javascript of Carousel first and Tabs next
For my sample has used script from:
+ TABs script: Simple-Tabbed-Content-Slider-Plugin-For-jQuery-tabbedcontent
demo: http://www.racotecnic.com/tutorials/tabbedcontent/demo.html
download: http://www.jqueryscript.net/demo/Simple-Tabbed-Content-Slider-Plugin-For-jQuery-tabbedcontent/#tab-1
+ Carousel script: als.musings.it
I'm not familiar with the tabs plugin you used, but you should enable carousel only on active (and visible) tabs only (you should have a callback for tab switching)
I also faced the same problem. The best ever solution I have found in this: http://jsfiddle.net/phpdeveloperrahul/bejFM/
Not only that. bxSlider offers a lot of options those are easy to understand and use. Some of the options I am mentioning in the following section:
mode: 'horizontal',
auto: true,
autoControls: true,
pause: 2000,
maxSlides: 4,
minSlides: 1,
controls: true,
infiniteLoop: true,
moveSlideQty: 1,
slideWidth: 200,
responsive: true,
Hope this will fulfill your need.

bxslider, for image carousel, doesn't seem to be working for me?

So I want to make a little image gallery carousel. Four images across. And you can carousel over to more images. I found bxslider and it seemed like a quick, plug & play, solution. But it's only showing one image per slide.
I think I've followed their directions. But I've obviously done something wrong.
I've left their css and js untouched. My HTML looks like a copy of of theirs. And I put this at the end of their js file:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
mode: 'fade',
captions: true,
auto: true,
autoControls: false,
minSlides: 4
});
});
Here's the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7YH8Q/
Anyone know how I can get this to work?
The problem is you didn't set slideWidth. In order to setup a carousal, you have to provide 3 values, namely : slideWidth, minSlides, maxSlides.
Here's a working fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/hwQ6C/
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
slideWidth: 200,
minSlides: 4,
maxSlides: 5,
slideMargin: 10
});
Multiple items per slides and fade mode is not currently supported. This has been flaged as an issue. Changing mode is the only option to fix this with bxslider.

Why isn't my jQuery Flex Slider pausing?

I've tried all manner of things based on the documentation but no matter what I do, I can't seem to make it pause.
Here's what the documentation says:
slider.pause() //Function: Pause slider slideshow interval
slider.play() //Function: Resume slider slideshow interval
But it doesn't specify how to define the slider variable. I've tried:
var slider = $('.flex-slider').flexslider({
animation: "slide",
easing: "swing",
direction: "horizontal",
animationLoop: true,
slideshow: true,
animationSpeed: 600,
slideshowSpeed: 1200,
controlNav: false,
directionNav: false,
pausePlay: false
});
$('.pause-button').on('click',function({
slider.pause();
});
Which resulted in... http://puu.sh/4qpo3.png
And I've tried:
$('.flex-slider').flexslider().pause();
Which resulted in... http://puu.sh/4qpcS.png
And I've tried:
$('.flex-slider').flexslider().pause(true);
Which resulted in... http://puu.sh/4qpcS.png
And all in all I'm just not seeing what exactly I'm doing wrong here.
Anyone wanna provide some insight? :)
Try $('.flex-slider').flexslider('pause') and $('.flex-slider').flexslider('play').
Hi I see you turned off the option
pausePlay: false
Now edit few thing. first turned on the option
pausePlay: true,
pauseText :"Pause",
playText :"Play",
Now you will see a play pause text comes in the slider, with having two different classes for pay and pause, just add your icon image to that class with css. and you will have you desired functionality.
