Slider Animation Speed setting

[wolfl]

I’m using a Swift Slider on my home page, placed via the Page Header/Slider meta option, not via the PB. It is set to ‘Fade’.

The Slider Animation Speed (ms) stting in Theme Options does not make any difference in the duration of the transition, whether I set it to 0 or 2000. Right now it’s set to 0 for you to reproduce the problem when viewing the page.

I had a cursory look in the relevant JS file (plugins/swift-framework/includes/swift-slider/assets/js/swift-slider.js) and noticed a number of 1000 hardcoded in some of the relevant functions, which would relate to the fading speed it’s showing (1 sec). Is that possible?

Hi,

Could you add a WP login. For me it looks to be around 3-4 seconds not 0-2?

Thanks.

I’ve sent the login privately. The page in question is the front page (“It starts with a wall”).

Just so that I get this right: The Slider Animation Speed should be the time it takes to transition from one slide to the next, right? Not the time while each slide is visible. That is (slightly confusingly) called “Swift Slider Autoplay” in the page meta options and “Slideshow Speed (ms)” in the Theme Options.

On that page Swift Slider Autoplay is set to 10000, which is working correctly, ie the slides stay static for 10 seconds. But the Slider Animation Speed is set to 0, which would suggest there is no fading at all and the next slide immediately appears once the 10 seconds are over.

Hi,

Appologies if this is confusing.

Swift Slider Autoplay = Time until next slide is shown.

To reduce the animation transition time as the slide transitions into the next, you can use this:

.swift-slider[data-transition="fade"] .swiper-slide {
    transition-duration: 0ms!important;
}

In this example, the transition duration is reduced to 0.

Thanks.

Thanks for the CSS to override the transition time.

If it’s not for this purpose, what is the “Slideshow Speed (ms)” setting for then, just so that we know for future reference?

Hi,

Yes, good question to clarify – That is used for the Item Slider(portfoio/posts ect) / Product Thumbs Slider / Gallery Slider ect. Not the Swift Slider.

Thanks.
