Question

Carousel script needs modification to show more items

Asked by: somnamblst

I have increased the width of the carousel example with dynamic loading content via javascript from the jcarousel example demo. JCarousel uses the jQuery library.

http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/examples/dynamic_javascript.html

The example shows 3 items. I have tried a bunch of different snippets of code from other jcarousel examples, but nothing has increased the number of items shown

var mycarousel_itemList = [
    {url: "http://static.flickr.com/66/199481236_dc98b5abb3_s.jpg", title: "Flower1"},
    {url: "http://static.flickr.com/75/199481072_b4a0d09597_s.jpg", title: "Flower2"},

];
 
function mycarousel_itemLoadCallback(carousel, state)
{
    for (var i = carousel.first; i <= carousel.last; i++) {
        if (carousel.has(i)) {
            continue;
        }
 
        if (i > mycarousel_itemList.length) {
            break;
        }
 
        carousel.add(i, mycarousel_getItemHTML(mycarousel_itemList[i-1]));
    }
};
 
/**
 * Item html creation helper.
 */
function mycarousel_getItemHTML(item)
{
    return '<img src="' + item.url + '" width="75" height="75" alt="' + item.url + '" />';
};
 
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('#mycarousel').jcarousel({
        size: mycarousel_itemList.length,
        itemLoadCallback: {onBeforeAnimation: mycarousel_itemLoadCallback}
    });
});

By default, it displays as many as it can in the viewable area. You just had a problem with your CSS. change your css styles to what is below to see a full width view of items. If you want to display a certain number of items, use: visible: #

for example:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('#mycarousel').jcarousel({
        size: mycarousel_itemList.length,
        itemLoadCallback: {onBeforeAnimation: mycarousel_itemLoadCallback},
        visible: 6
    });
});

.jcarousel-skin-ie7.jcarousel-container-horizontal {
    width: 85%;
}
 
/* you were missing a space between the 2 classes on the next line */
.jcarousel-skin-ie7 .jcarousel-clip-horizontal {
    width: 100%;
}

Duh! Copying and pasting code from blog posts or comments can be dangerous!

I have another open 500 pt jcarousel question regarding all the static examples that use the prepopulated <li></li>

Basically the static examples all have one bug that  Jan Sorgalla does make references to when a commenter named Erin brings it up that all the static examples show the images in a stacked bulleted vertical list until everything is ready and then they snap to the container. On a page with other scripts, it can be interminable.

http://xsotek.com/demo8/examples/example.html

I have tried doing what Jan says in the comments to Erin

"Just add
#mycarousel {
display: none;
}
like its in the dynamic examples."

but have succeeded in only displaying no images in the carousel. There has got to be some kind of show function that goes with this, correct?

Here is the link to my other open question.
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Scripting/JavaScript/Q_23197019.html

Now that I've got a dynamic example displaying the way I want I can abandon my quest for the static one but I still want to know for my own designer struggling to better understand javascript self so I  don't need so much outside help with development aspects.
