[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Pause JS Slideshow?

1. open: nggfunctions.php

2. look for:
‘timeout:’ . $ngg_options[‘irRotatetime’] * 1000 .

3. Add a line BEFORE the code above and place:
‘pause: 1’ .

4. Save and test

—–
To add it to the backend, so it shows in the settings:(after step 1&2)
—–

3. Add a line BEFORE the code above and place:
‘pause:’ . $ngg_options[‘irPause’] .

4. Open the file at \admin\settings.php and find:
<tr>
<th><?php _e(‘Duration time’,’nggallery’) ?>:</th>
<td><input type=”text” size=”3″ maxlength=”3″ name=”irRotatetime” value=”<?php echo $ngg->options[‘irRotatetime’] ?>” /> <?php _e(‘sec.’, ‘nggallery’) ;?></td>
</tr>

5. Right after that code place:
<tr>
<th><?php _e(‘Pause’,’nggallery’) ?>:</th>
<td><input type=”text” size=”3″ maxlength=”3″ name=”irPause” value=”<?php echo $ngg->options[‘irPause’] ?>” /> <?php _e(‘0-1. 1 to pause on mouseover’, ‘nggallery’) ;?></td>
</tr>
6. save both files, update and test.

the part with the backend works, but the first part makes the loader run in a loop, no images…

i also cant activate the function over the backend point, if i put a “1” in the box and save, the box is empty again…

On top of the above, you also need to change the following in settings.php (few lines before the ones mentioned in step 4 above):

<input type="hidden" name="page_options" value="slideFx,enableIR,irURL,irWidth,irHeight,irShuffle,irLinkfromdisplay,irShownavigation,irShowicons,irWatermark,irOverstretch,irRotatetime,irTransition,irKenburns,irBackcolor,irFrontcolor,irLightcolor,irScreencolor,irAudio,irXHTMLvalid" />

To:

<input type="hidden" name="page_options" value="slideFx,enableIR,irURL,irWidth,irHeight,irShuffle,irLinkfromdisplay,irShownavigation,irShowicons,irWatermark,irOverstretch,irRotatetime,irTransition,irKenburns,irBackcolor,irFrontcolor,irLightcolor,irScreencolor,irAudio,irXHTMLvalid,irPause" />

That is, add “irPause” to the list of fields

Now at backend when i put “1” in the box and save, the box successful save but gallery isn’t stop on mouseover can any one tell what is problem or can any one give me javascript or jquery simple code for mouseover to stop image gallery.

$(‘.ngg-slideshow’).cycle(‘pause’);

theres also ‘toggle’ and ‘resume’

The above JQuery code successfully worked for me. Note that the example is linking to the CSS class, you could change this to the ID to be more specific.

https://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/options.html <– theres a list of the command strings it’ll accept here.

You’ll need to insert this into a JS file somewhere, and take into consideration the no-conflict mode of the JQuery included with WordPress (see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers for details ).

You’ll probably be wanting to link it to a button/link of some kind, so you’ll probably need to add some html to the template to link to. You could also create the button using JQuery too.
