I took a different direction with a carousel I implemented, opting for bxSlider instead of jCarousel. This is for an image gallery I am building http://rjwcollective.com/equinox/rishi_gallery/eqgall.php
The issue I am running into is when I reset the filters, or select a different filter, the slider doesn't reset. This is the code for the inital load:
//first load
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"sortbystate.php",
data:"city=&gender=&category=",
success:function(data){
//carousel
$('#thumbs').html(data);
//alert("whoa, careful there!");
$('#thumbs').bxSlider({auto: false, mode:'vertical',
autoControls: false,
autoHover: true,
pager: false,
displaySlideQty: 4,
speed:800,
infiniteLoop: true,
moveSlideQty: 4,
controls: true});
}
});//end ajax
This is the code for handling the change of a filter:
$(".statelist :input").click(function(){
var carousel = $('#thumbs').data('jcarousel');
var state = $('.statelist input:checked').attr('value');
var gender = $('.gender input:checked').attr('value');
var category =$('.category input:checked').attr('value');
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"sortbystate.php",
data:"city="+state+"&gender="+gender+"&category="+category,
success:function(data){
//alert("whoa, careful there!");
$('#thumbs').html(data);
$('#thumbs').bxSlider({auto: false, mode:'vertical',
autoControls: false,
autoHover: true,
pager: false,
displaySlideQty: 4,
speed:800,
infiniteLoop: true,
moveSlideQty: 4,
controls: true});
//$('#thumbs').jcarousel('add', index, data);
}
});//end ajax
});
I referred bxSlider's documentation and it had a built-in function to handle a reset:
destroyShow(): function()
reloadShow(): function()
I am confused as to what I am doing wrong. Even tried emptying the carousel div before loading it with data, using .empty(), no dice.
Thoughts?
