galleria auto play slideshow?

Question

Has anyone found an easy way to get the awesome galleria gallery to auto play?

I'm really stuck on this one.

Any help would be great!

Thx Paul

Answer 1

$('#galleria').galleria({
    extend: function() {
        this.play(4000); // will advance every 4th second
    }
});

No longer works with the latest version. See below.

Answer 2

According to below documentation, by default you should be getting the behavior you are looking for. Try setting it explicitly.

pauseOnInteraction type: Boolean default: true During playback, Galleria will stop the playback if the user presses thumbnails or any other navigational links. If you dont want this behaviour, set this option to false.

Answer 3

autoplay: true in the options should do the trick.

autoplay

type: Boolean or Number
default: false

If true, this will start playing the slideshow with 3 seconds interval (default). If you set this to any number, f.ex 4000, it will start playing with that interval (in milliseconds)

My problem is that once it's started, it does not stop when a photo or thumb is clicked.

Answer 4

The latest version of galleria has a new way to implement this and I do not believe it is automatically going to scroll unless you implicitly force it to with a setting now.

Also, the issue with the autoplay not stopping after a click is now fixed in the latest version.

<script>
Galleria.loadTheme('../include/scripts/galleria/themes/classic/galleria.classic.min.js');
Galleria.run('#galleria', {
    transition: 'fade',
    imageCrop: true,
    autoplay: 2500 // will move forward every 7 seconds
});          
</script>
