v2 of the library has much better pager apis which means we should be able to get this working.

Under admin/config/media/flexslider/edit/default there's a option "MANUAL CONTROLS (ADVANCED)" I added "div.views-slideshow-pager-fields > div" and it works. Default slider is gone and pager that is set under Views Slideshow is working.

Strange though, switch to cycle, select pager from field, then switch back to flexslider and the field pages using the selected field, I used the title field. Works.

#4 Worked for me, after a few additional steps.

  1. Under the Navigation and Controls settings in FlexSlider, turn Paging Controls to Thumbnails
  2. Under Views, make a slideshow using Slideshow as the format
  3. Make the Slideshow Type = Cycle
  4. Under either Top or Bottom Widgets, add a pager as you normally would for Views Slideshow
  5. Save your edit
  6. Go back into the settings for Views Slideshow, and change the slideshow type to FlexSlider (The options you chose for the pager should now be available).
  7. Save your edit
  8. "Under admin/config/media/flexslider/edit/default there's a option "MANUAL CONTROLS (ADVANCED)" I added "div.views-slideshow-pager-fields > div" "

#6 kinda worked for me. I can't get the hover action to work. Click works.

There's no patch here thus "needs review" is not appropriate. Also, the instructions in #6 above exploit a bug in either Views or Views Slideshow, rather than having an actual feature.

FYI this bug also works with the main Flexslider v2 module, there's no need for this separate sandbox. As a result, I'm moving the feature request over to the main module.

The request is for FlexSlider Views Slideshow pagers so it belongs with the now separate project.

If there's a bug or exploit please create a separate issue with details.

But from what I gather he's just using a feature in the FlexSlider library and wouldn't consider it an exploit. It's a bit hacky, but by no means a bug. Any HTML element can be assigned as the controls for a FlexSlider slideshow. Whether it be a set of paragraphs of a list of items. In this case they're working around the lack of direct integration with the pagers supplied by Views Slideshow. Not ideal by any means.

But proper integration with those pagers would moot their solution above. What they've described I won't include as the "solution" by any means.

Thanks for fixing the status though, appreciated!

@minorOffense: the bug is getting the Views UI to show the pager settings when the Flexslider views slideshow plugin doesn't have the proper functionality to do it - you should be able to display these settings without the views_slideshow_cycle module being enabled and configured first.

@minorOffense: And I'm sorry for moving this issue, I didn't realize that this sandbox was for a submodule that was being removed from the main Flexslider module.

#6 seems to indicate you can use the thumbnail paging controls. I was unable to achieve this. It was easy to use the manual controls and specify the css selector such that the pager output by views_slideshow worked, but in this case you don't get the nice javascript-y carousel functionality the true thumbnail paging controls provide. Unless I'm missing something. Obviously it would be great to get true views_slideshow integration for the paging.

I was able to get this working following instructions in #6, though my ultimate goal is to have pagers with Titles and Body summaries, not thumbnails (like you see on many news sites). Not sure this will work for those purposes.

Hmm yeah i was under the impression I could use this module as a carousel type setup, but i think i was wrong, #6 didnt work for me
