The options as listed here http://nivo.dev7studios.com/support/jquery-plugin-usage/ are not all configurable.

Of the variables;

  1. effect: 'random', // Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown'
  2. slices: 15, // For slice animations
  3. boxCols: 8, // For box animations
  4. boxRows: 4, // For box animations
  5. animSpeed: 500, // Slide transition speed
  6. pauseTime: 3000, // How long each slide will show
  7. startSlide: 0, // Set starting Slide (0 index)
  8. directionNav: true, // Next & Prev navigation
  9. directionNavHide: true, // Only show on hover
  10. controlNav: true, // 1,2,3... navigation
  11. controlNavThumbs: false, // Use thumbnails for Control Nav
  12. controlNavThumbsFromRel: false, // Use image rel for thumbs
  13. controlNavThumbsSearch: '.jpg', // Replace this with...
  14. controlNavThumbsReplace: '_thumb.jpg', // ...this in thumb Image src
  15. keyboardNav: true, // Use left & right arrows
  16. pauseOnHover: true, // Stop animation while hovering
  17. manualAdvance: false, // Force manual transitions
  18. captionOpacity: 0.8, // Universal caption opacity
  19. prevText: 'Prev', // Prev directionNav text
  20. nextText: 'Next', // Next directionNav text
  21. randomStart: false, // Start on a random slide
  22. beforeChange: function(){}, // Triggers before a slide transition
  23. afterChange: function(){}, // Triggers after a slide transition
  24. slideshowEnd: function(){}, // Triggers after all slides have been shown
  25. lastSlide: function(){}, // Triggers when last slide is shown
  26. afterLoad: function(){} // Triggers when slider has loaded

Only the following are configurable

  1. effect: 'random', // Specify sets like: 'fold,fade,sliceDown'
  2. slices: 15, // For slice animations
  3. boxCols: 8, // For box animations
  4. boxRows: 4, // For box animations
  5. animSpeed: 500, // Slide transition speed
  6. pauseTime: 3000, // How long each slide will show
  7. pauseOnHover: true, // Stop animation while hovering
  8. captionOpacity: 0.8, // Universal caption opacity

Specifically we would like the controlNav to be configurable especially given that this module forces behavior that is not consistent with the default nivo slider settings in regard to the controlNav default. This can be seen in media_invo_slider.js where controlNav is explicitly set to false.

Attached patch changes media_nivo_slider.js to use the nivo slider default for controlNav.

This patch is not the ideal solution since this is still not configurable.

Leaving open to address the larger UI/UX config issue of so many configuration options. This likely should be not exposed on every node.

Hi jgraham, thanks for the feedback and patch to resolve this issue.

As you noted the ideal solution would be to have all the settings be configurable via the interface rather than having to change this at the code/global level.

I'm changing this to a feature request as getting all the configuration options into the interface is in the pipeline of updates for this module. At this point I'm still sorting out the best way to allow for full configuration of the slider in a way that's not overwhelming in terms of the interface while still trying to maintain the full customization ability of each individual slider.

I'm definitely open for feedback and input on the UI/UX front so if you have ideas feel free to share.

Meant to update the title as well...

Just a thought regarding the UI/UX. Perhaps have global sets of configuration that were named and then at the node/instance level the user chose one of the pre-configured global configurations.

This solves two things that I see as potential pitfalls of the per-instance config;

  1. Limits amount of options exposed to end-users. They would only choose one of the available configurations. If there is only one "choice" no option would be exposed to the end-user.
  2. Limits differing configuration so that site navigation/presentation is more consistent.

In summary, the site builder would still have full control over all the nivo slider options, but less technical users are presented with a selection of which slider config to use.

I like this idea and had been thinking similarly for how to address the desire to have a global reusable configuration.

Taking my initial thinking one step further, and moving all the configurations over to something like you suggested and simplifying the fields that are on the node form itself is favorable in my opinion and will clean up and trim the module as well.

Seeing as this workflow would be very similar to other media related modules such as image styles it should be mostly straight forward and familiar from the user perspective.

Given all that I think I'll start moving this direction, likely in a 2.x branch since the change over from using individual fields to stored configurations will be a somewhat big change. Should have something together in a couple of days.

Ok I've added a beta release for the 2.0 branch which implements configurable presets and exposes all of the Nivo Slider options to be configured in Drupal.

Give it a test when you have a chance and let me know if you experience any issues with the new workflow or the upgrade from v1 of the module.

Thanks!

Fixed one outstanding issue and made a stable v2.0 release that provides full customization of the Nivo Slider options. Marking this as implemented.

vipuldawar88,

First, please do not re-open closed tickets that are unrelated to your bug/support request/feature request. Search the tickets first, but if you don't find an existing ticket related to your issue please create a new ticket.

For the question you asked you may look at setting 'manual transitions' to true. This would turn off the automatic transitions and make it so the user has to either click the thumbnail, next/prev arrow, or use the keyboard.

A quick note though, if you are still using a 7.x-1.x version of the module not all of these options are configurable. All the available configuration options have been made available in the version 2 of this module.
