[SOLVED] Card Container with Carousel: How to Slow Down the Transition?

[AliGW]

Is it possible to slow down the transition time in the carousel? The pause time has a setting, but I see nothing for the transition. Also, is it possible to change the style of the transition from slide to fade?

PS How do I add padding to the top of a card container? And why, when I add a card using the blue button, does it place the new card below the card container and not inside it?

Thank you.

The pause time, specifies the time the slide pauses between different slides.
There is no option to control the transition.

[AliGW]

In that case, is it possible to add it as a feature request, please? Is there no way to add code to slow the transition?

Did you see the questions on my PS?

[Pablo]

The card contains uses OWL carousel.

You can use this code to container the transition duration:

Code: Select all

<style>
.owl-stage
{
   transition: 5.25s !important;
}
</style>

You can add padding via the padding properties.
But you can also add margin to the top of the cards.

Thank you. Unfortunately, this doesn't give the effect I was hoping for. I wanted to mimic the effect of a looping slider.

I already have the FlexSlider which works almost perfectly for what I want. The only thing it doesn't do (and I have tried every combination of settings) is properly honour the dimensions and aspect ratio of each photo. By using the card container and carousel, I am able to specify the maximum width of the image in each card, which produces the results I want and the responsiveness I was hoping for. What I don't seem able to have with the card container are the fade transition from card to card Perhaps I shluld be looking at a card stack instead? I shall keep on playing with the options.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

I'm sorry, it not clear to me what you are trying to do.

Can you please provide a DEMO?

[AliGW]

I am not sure that a demo will help as the demo won't show what I want.

However, I'll put something together later (I don't have time at the moment to do so). The carousel gets me to within 95% of what I want.

Thanks.

So the link contains a .wbs file with two pages in a gallery folder (2024). There is also a folder of images.

I have added notes to each of the two pages - you need to preview the two pages in a browser to see the differences that I have described.

What I am after is the Card Container with Carousel's sizing and responsiveness with the FlexSlider's slow fade transisitons.

I realise that this may not be possible.

Thanks.

There is currently no fade animation for the card container.
But did you consider using the standard carousel object instead?

[AliGW]

No, but I'll have a look and see if I can make it do what I want.

EDIT: I am going to need to read up on carousels, as I have tried placing one both on a page and inside a layout grid, and nothing showqs up (not even any default navigation). I must be doing something wrong. I'll look again another day.

@Pablo

Just wanted to say 'thank you' for the fade addition to the card container object - I didn't think you'd implement it so quickly! I think the addition of the navigation squares when pagination is off is a fabulous idea, and it's going to save me some time, so thanks for that.

Might it be possible at some point in the future to have a setting to control the speed of the fade? Or is there perhaps a way to do this already?

You are a star!

[Pablo]

Might it be possible at some point in the future to have a setting to control the speed of the fade?

Yes, this is possible. However, implementing this feature will require changes to both the user interface and the project format. As a result, it takes more time to develop and integrate properly.

[AliGW]

OK - that's good to know - thank you for explaining.

I'm very happy with the fade as it is for now and have already implemented it on all of my galleries.

[AliGW]

Pablo - thank you so much for the addition of speed control for transitions in the latest version. I'm thrilled, especially as I did not expect to see this implemented so soon. A fantastic improvement - many, many thanks.

[Pablo]

Thank you for your suggestion. It is a useful addition.
