White "Dot's" next to review photos

Hello sunrisetk,

Thanks for using the widget,
I was looking at your page, the dots you see are there because jQuery seems like isn’t being loaded properly.

Basically jQuery will convert the static HTML page into a moving/interactive page.
WHat it does for the plugin is convert the
<li> tags (the dots you see) into tables that move.

Since your jQuery isn’t loading properly you end up seeing the “dots”.

Your code display looks very messed up, maybe you’ve got a few too many plugins or a plugin that is interfering with a bunch others.

Might be the minification or the w3-total-cache plugin.

I’d suggest disabling a few plugins and trying out see if that resolves the problem.

Also it is the same reason why your picture slide isn’t working properly, that also relays on jQuery.

Please if you find what plugin is interfering with my plugin let me know, I’d like to fix my end if that is my part of the code (but I think it really isn’t)

I’ll consider this as resolved since the problem is within your page not the plugin, but you may still continue the thread and I’ll do my best to help.

Thanks again

Wow, thanks for a quick response.

OK, I think I found the solution. Although the code on my page isn’t perfect, I was able to get rid of the dot’s by doing the following:

I went to your widgets setting and did the following:
1. I set the Speed to 100000000 (some large number) since I didn’t want it to scroll.

2. I set the pause to 10000000 (some large number) again.

This solved the issue and now the dots are gone.

So what this means is that I had the Speed and Pause blank (meaning, I didn’t have anything) on your setting.

What this also means that it wasn’t a jquary issue, but somethning in your widget setting that if you leave the Speed and Pause blank, it showed the dot’s.

Does this make sense?

If I can make a suggestion.

1. Can you make an option to NOT to scroll
2. Have the user select as many reviews as possible, don’t just limit to 3 as it currently is.

Anyway, this is a great plugin and I plan to use it

Thanks!!

Thanks for the input it’s great to hear from users and fix bugs

1) I could make that option, leaving it blank will make it work incorrectly sorry, I’ll try and fix that. but having a stopped “ticker” kind of defeats the name of the plugin. I’ll give it a thought
If you set the speed at 0 it will remain still (won’t scroll)
If you have the latest version (1.0.2 as of right now) defaults will appear when you add a new widgget, there is a bug within it, if you set the value at 0, it will save in the database but I don’t know why (yet) the value will show the default (2500) on the screen, but be assured 0 is what the db will have and show on your page. I’ll fix that in a few days, it’s just a display problem. if you change any other settings and save it again make sure to change the 2500 value to 0 again (until the bug is fixed)

2) Sorry Yelp API will allow up to 3 reviews to be shown and no you cannot choose wich ones to show either. There is nothing I can do to change these values, unless I go out of the API and break their rules.
And believe me, they’ve contacted me already made me make changes to my code a couple of times. I also wish they let you show all your reviews. But what they want is people to go thru their page to see the reviews (in it’s entirety and the rest of them). It all comes down to money and traffic (for them) and also prevent content to be stolen and/or altered.

Thanks for all your help, I understand your points now.

1. You are right that the plugin name is a “ticker” so you want to show it scroll, but your plugin is powerful enough (and hopefully) easy enough for the user to turn the scroll feature off. I tried to find other plugins with this same feature, but your’s is the only one, so that is why I’m using it. Again, your plugin is very powerful and with this feature (no scroll option), I think it will make it even better. (just my opinion of course)

2. OK no problem, Yelp limits to 3 reviews, I understand.

Overall, you’re doing great work, keep it up and I’ll let you know how my final work turns out.

Thanks again!!

I just posted the 1.0.3, would you mind confirming that if you set it to 0 (zero) it will stop the “ticker”

and would you be kind and rate (stars on the plugin page) the plugin please?

Thanks!
