lightSlider plugin not working on first time load

I make the slider on my website using lightSlider,below html code i am using (note that i am using asp.net mvc) and i am using loop in load images
<ul id="imageGallery">
#foreach (var i in Model.Images)
{
<li data-thumb="#i" data-src="#i">
<img src="#i" />
</li>
}
</ul>
and here is code jquery to load my slider
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#imageGallery').lightSlider({
gallery: true,
item: 1,
thumbItem: 9,
slideMargin: 0,
speed: 500,
auto: true,
loop: true,
onSliderLoad: function () {
$('#imageGallery').removeClass('cS-hidden');
}
});
});
So my problem is slider displaying not correctly in the first time
Please see my slider is loaded here slider
But when i reload the page it is working correctly.
I am not sure what am i missing here?

Repeat JS Textillate function each time modal is opened

I am using uikit modal on a project. I am also using JS Textillate to animate the text when the modal is opened. However, I want the text to be animated if the modal is closed and opened again continuously. For now, it only animate once when the modal is opened for the first time, when closed and opened again, the animation does not run again.
This is the JavaScript code below:
$(".uk-modal-full").on('show', function(){
var $title = $(".txt").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: true,
});
var $title = $(".txt2").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: true,
});
});
I am thinking maybe the function can be removed when modal closes so that it can be repeated when it is opened again. I am not sure if that is possible as I am only a Jquery learner.
$(".uk-modal-full").on('hide', function(){
// code here?
});
Full options for Textillate is here https://github.com/jschr/textillate
UPDATE
Thank you! I have created a codepen here to test my full code inside a modal using your example. It seems to be working but with some issues. When I use $element.textillate('in') and $element.textillate('out'), the other options do not work (e.g. initialDelay). It seems to only control the "in" and "out" options. When I used $element.textillate('start') and $element.textillate('stop'), the other options worked but when modal is reopened, the text are briefly loaded first before animating.
Please see codepen here - https://codepen.io/ajaxthemestudios/pen/XWJRBbW

Looking through the readme of Textillate, I think this section is what you need:
$element.textillate('start') - Manually start/restart textillate
$element.textillate('stop') - Manually pause/stop textillate
$element.textillate('in') - Trigger the current text's in animation
$element.textillate('out') - Trigger the current text's out animation
So I would do something like first define the animations (outside the event functions)
var title1 = $(".txt").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: false,
});
var title2 = $(".txt").textillate({
// in animation settings.
in: {
effect: "fadeIn", // set the effect name
},
// out animation settings.
out: {
effect: "fadeOut",
delayScale: 0,
delay: 0,
},
type: "char",
autoStart: false,
});
And then in the event function:
$(".uk-modal-full").on('show', function(){
title1.textillate('in');
title2.textillate('in');
}
EDIT
I got it to work in this codepen: https://codepen.io/thomas-short/pen/zYxdzWY
Test it by clicking on click repeatedly.
EDIT 2
The problem of the text being briefly visible seems to be a limitation of the library. I could not find a way to solve it using the tools they provide. The only way I managed to make it work is by control it myself:
$(".uk-modal-full").on('show', function(){
title1.textillate('start');
$(".txt2").hide();
setTimeout(() => {
$(".txt2").show();
title2.textillate('start');
}, 1500);
})
And remove initialDelay from the options

Getting images from itunes rss feed and putting the pics in a bxslider

So I am able to get the images of the albums from the itunes rss by using this code:
$("#parse").click(function (){
$(".bxslider").html("");
var country = $("#country").val();
var number = $("#top").val();
$.get("https://itunes.apple.com/"+country+"/rss/topsongs/limit="+number+"/xml" , function(data){
var itunesArray = $(data).find("entry");
itunesArray.each(function(){
var image = $(this).find("im\\:image").eq(1).text();
var audio = $(this).find("link").eq(1).attr("href");
HTML for my slider:
<div class="slider">
<ul class = "bxslider">
</ul>
</div>
I try to append the html by using this code:
$('.bxslider').append("<li><img src = "+image + " height = '100'
width ='100' >" + "</li>");
Jquery for slider:
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
mode: 'fade',
//captions: true,
auto: true,
//autoControls: true
pagerCustom: '#bx-pager'
/*minSlides: 2,
maxSlides: 2,
slideWidth: 170,
slideMargin: 10,
ticker: true,
speed: 7000*/
});
I can get the images into the webpage but not inside the slider. I can see the arrows but I am unable to switch images and can see all of them at once. Im supposed to see them one at a time. I do not know whats going on. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

I will suggest you to initialize your bxSlider inside $.get Ajax success callback i.e. after all images has been added to DOM (exactly after itunesArray.each() loop).
I think you have not posted the entire code but you can just refer below code and take the idea (this code may not work directly as it is):
$("#parse").click(function (){
$(".bxslider").html("");
var country = $("#country").val();
var number = $("#top").val();
$.get("https://itunes.apple.com/"+country+"/rss/topsongs/limit="+number+"/xml" , function(data){
var itunesArray = $(data).find("entry");
itunesArray.each(function(){
var image = $(this).find("im\\:image").eq(1).text();
var audio = $(this).find("link").eq(1).attr("href");
$('.bxslider').append("<li><img src = "+image + " height = '100' width ='100' >" + "</li>");
});//each loop end
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({
mode: 'fade',
//captions: true,
auto: true,
//autoControls: true
pagerCustom: '#bx-pager'
/*minSlides: 2,
maxSlides: 2,
slideWidth: 170,
slideMargin: 10,
ticker: true,
speed: 7000*/
});
});
});

bxSlider not showing slides on resize

I'm trying to set up a function so that when the user resizes their window, the slider is emptied and then re-implemented based on the size of the window.
The problem that I have is that the slider IS being re-implemented, but with without slides.
The code I'm using is:
var newdiv = $('<div class="slider1" />');
$(window).resize(function(){
$("#featured").empty();
$("#featured").append(newdiv);
if($(window).width() > 640){
$('.slider1').bxSlider({
slideWidth: 1200,
minSlides: 4,
maxSlides: 4,
slideMargin: 10,
pager: false
});
}else if($(window).width() > 480 && $(window).width() < 640){
$('.slider1').bxSlider({
slideWidth: 800,
minSlides: 3,
maxSlides: 3,
slideMargin: 10,
pager: false
});
}else if($(window).width() < 480){
$('.slider1').bxSlider({
slideWidth: 500,
minSlides: 2,
maxSlides: 2,
slideMargin: 10,
pager: false
});
}
});
If someone can either tell me what I'm doing wrong, or show me a better way of making this work, that'd be great. Thanks!

I think you are emptying your slider content, so it will display nothing.
Instead of emptying and redefining it you can destroy an reinit the bxSlider control.
Code:
slider.destroySlider();
slider = $('.bxslider').bxSlider({
slideWidth: 500,
minSlides: 2,
maxSlides: 2,
slideMargin: 10,
pager: false
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/IrvinDominin/pjWjy/
This resize can cost a bit instead of resize you can build your resize end event: JavaScript/JQuery: $(window).resize how to fire AFTER the resize is completed?

You are describing something i answered here
[collapsing bxslider when element style"display:none"
The bxslider shows the nav controls but not the slides.
The is resolved by calling slider1.reloadSlider()
The important thing to remember is you have to capture and keep a reference to your slider when you first create it.
$('.slider1').bxSlider()
can not be used to get a reference to your slider.
it will create a new slider everytime.
try assigning this to a variable and then using that variable to .append()
and .reloadSlider() as needed.
//initial creation
myslider = $('.slider1').bxSlider(options);
//then in the resize() event handler...
myslider.reloadSlider();
good luck

i might have found a strange solution for this, and would like others to confirm if it works for them.
first initialize the slider in document ready and add the resize call.
<script>
var myslide;
$(document).ready(function(){
myslide= $('.bxslider').bxSlider({
mode: 'horizontal',
captions: false,
controls : false,
pause:5000,
auto:true
});
});
$(window).resize(function(){
console.log(myslide.getCurrentSlide());
});
</script>
i resized the window and the slider continues to work, it seems that when you interact with the slider variable, it knocks it back on its feet.

Add current slide body class on slide change

I'm using slidesjs to create a slideshow on my site, this is working fine but I want to add a incremented class to the body tag e.g. slide-1 at load and then when the slide changes slide-2 etc until the slide fully rotates and it goes back to slide-1
My current code is;
<script>
$(function(){
$('#feature-slideshow').slides({
preload: true,
preloadImage: '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/loading.gif',
generateNextPrev: false,
effect: 'fade',
play: 5000,
hoverPause: true,
animationStart: function() {
$("body").addClass("slide");
}
});
});
</script>
I have two problems;
1) the I want the initial class set before the slideshow has loaded so that the style which is a background is applied when the page is loaded rather than the slideshow
2) How to increment the slide-x class when the slideshow is transitioned/changed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just add the initial class to body directly (<body class="slide-1">). No need to let JavaScript do this since it will always start at slide 1.
To increment that number you can set the currentClass option so that we can get the index of the current slide with .index().
$(function(){
var slideshow = $("#feature-slideshow");
slideshow.slides({
preload: true,
preloadImage: '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/loading.gif',
generateNextPrev: false,
effect: 'fade',
play: 5000,
hoverPause: true,
currentClass: "current"
animationStart: function() {
var idx = slideshow.children(".current").index();
document.body.className = "slide-"+(idx+1);
}
});
});

Ok managed to get this to work, thanks to Marcus for his help, I just tweaked your code to pickup the correct list 'pagination' which had the current class applied;
$(function(){
var slideshow = $("#feature-slideshow");
slideshow.slides({
preload: true,
preloadImage: '<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/loading.gif',
generateNextPrev: false,
effect: 'fade',
play: 5000,
hoverPause: false,
currentClass: "current",
animationStart: function() {
var idx = $('ul.pagination').children(".current").index();
document.body.className = "slidebg-"+(idx+1);
}
});
});
I had to apply slidebg-3 to the body tag as for some reason when the slideshow cycles it includes the first list
Works great though apart from removing all other body classes, I suppose I could add it as an ID as I'm not using one of those
Anyway hope this helps someone else!
