Sliders/ Carousel jquery

**Kitty** · 05-06-2013

I know there was a discussion elsewhere about using one of those accordion type sliders (or whatever you call it), but regarding the 'new' carousel in v.13... does that also mean that if I use a different plugin/slider it will work? I have tried dif ones in v.12 and it didn't work. I have a handful of sliders that are supposed to be very good. Many are WP plugins, and some not... most notable --
http://codecanyon.net/item/royalslid...gallery/461126
and then SliderPro, but I see it's a WP plugin.

Bottom line - can I use the RoyalSlider in v.13 now? Anyone know?

Thanks!
- for the record, on quick inspection, it doesn't appear that the new NOF Carousel has a heck of a lot of options, correct? This is totally random & a fast test page - not even inside of the correct website - quickie example >
http://ink2art.com/client/lisabo/html/testgallery.html
and this is a basic version within WP of a site that I've started in WP but want to do it in NOF (want the total design freedom that I have in NOF over WP) >

ANYhow, if anyone has any suggestions, that would be awesome - thanks!

Best thing to do is test it on a new site project containing only the external jquery code and using the Fusion scripting files.

Fusion 2013 is using an updated jquery script code so it is a "test and see" type of thing when it comes to external jquery routines working without modifying the code Fusion generates.

Thanks Mike, but, ummm, I have no clue what you mean.

Ya, I know... that's why I was so excited about the carousel because I don't know much about that kind of code stuff. Thanks for replying though!

I've always used WOWSlider for my sliders and haven't had any real problems with NoF, although I have stuck with an earlier version which works with the JQuery version in v12.

Has anyone tried the latest wowslider with 2013 yet? I can't see any reason it wouldn't work but haven't had the chance to try it (24pp magazine to finish and a sermon to write before the weekend!)

Thanks Franko... you know I keep getting emails with special deals from them and pretty much ignored them. I should give it a try. Did you have to do much additional coding/scripting when you used it in NOF? I should give that one a try, hmm?

Ok, settled! The only way to find out is to do it, right?

Better get goin' Franko - sounds like you have your work cut out for you!

I've done a lot of mucking about with these things, and I keep saying (and everyone but Thomas keeps ignoring) that the problem comes when you have multiple calls to jQuery.

NOF will insert it's own jQuery -- sometimes. When it does, and you add your own jQuery manually to the <HEAD> section because WOW Slider or Royal Slider or whatever needs it, you've got two calls to jQuery. NOF 12 used an ancient version (ca. 1.3.2) and most scripts use something newer. So you get code conflicts. You load jQuery 1.8.3 for Royal Slider, then load jQuery 1.3.2 over top of that, and you get conflicts in the jQuery code.

There are ways in NOF 12 to work around this. However, since NOF 13 now uses a more modern version of jQuery (1.8.3, I think) Royal Slider should work fine. Just try to be aware if NOF is inserting a jQuery call. If it is, you can skip the line for jQuery that Royal Slider needs.

One other thing, you should also ensure that the call to load jquery.royalslider.min.js comes AFTER the jQuery line, as one may depend on the other already being there.

Thanks Ray!

What I may even do (we shall see) is have each gallery in its own directory and name each one index.html... then, since there are no links required in these particular galleries, I'll just use an iframe for each in NOF.

I'll see how things go.

Ray, I know what you've been saying is kosher, and the only reason I've ignored it is I'm happy with the older version I have working just fine. Hence my question re 2013. If the JQuery in NoF is now fine to work with wowslider/visuallightbox/videolightbox later versions, then I'll download the later version and comment out the call to JQuery in wow/visual/video's generated code.

I was kind of hoping you'd already tried it out and could give me the answer

but I guess you haven't had time yet, either.

I purchased a license for WOW Slider, but I have not upgraded to the absolute latest since it would be a paid update and I don't see much new that I need. (Responsive mode - pish posh!

)

Looking at the site and inspecting the code, they seem to still be using jQuery 1.4.4. In all likelihood it will work with v1.8.3 that NOF seems to be using, but the only sure-fire way to know is to try it. In my limited study and experience, the big (in)compatibility jumps in jQuery happened between v1.3x - 1.4x and recently between 1.8x and 1.9x.

Kitty, I`d bet you coke and a bag of chips I could get Royal Slider working in NOF 12 by removing the NOF jQuery line.

you should be able to download the latest Wow Slider by simply clicking the link in the original purchase email

I did it and downloaded 3.4 and it installed over the top keeping it licensed
