Hello,
I’ve noticed that the Slider Gallery (Sphere) is the only gallery on Wix that slides images Linearly , but it’s also the only gallery that doesn’t have the Autoplay function.
Is it possible to make the " Slider Gallery (Sphere)" to Autoplay - once the page is loaded?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Currently, the slider gallery(spheres) does not have autoplay capabilities. You can check if a gallery has this feature with the galleryCapabilities property.
If isPlayable is true you can set the autoplay with code.
You can try creating a similar effect with a different gallery using the $w.gallery APIs.
Hope this helped.
Best regards,
Miguel
Hi Miguel, thanks for your response.
The gallery(spheres) has the following properties that can be coded:
It’s the only gallery that slides images Linearly , so it’s the only choice that I have on Wix.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any coding experience. Would greatly appreciate if someone from Wix team or from the Wix Forum could help me add that code that would Autoplay the slider when the page is loaded or onViewportEnter.
As Miguel already mentioned, not every Gallary has a autoPlay-feature.
Here you can see the difference…
https://russian-dima.wixsite.com/meinewebsite/slider-galary-sphere
$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#gallary1").pause()
$w("#gallary2").pause()
});
export function BTNplay_click(event) {
$w("#gallary1").play();
$w("#gallary2").play();
}
export function BTNstop_click(event) {
$w("#gallary1").pause();
$w("#gallary2").pause();
}
Okay, so there is no way to Autoplay the slider gallery(spheres)
Is there any other way to achieve a linear transition between images using other galleries or methods?
e.g. from slider gallery(spheres)
Although it’s a bit laggy, you can see that the gallery rotates at One speed (linear)
So it doesn’t speed up (at the beginning of transition) and slow down (at the end of transition), like every other wix gallery.
e.g.
I couldn’t find anything else that would slide images linearly.
Take a slideshow and make the corners rounded 300px or so and you get circle cropping your autoplay slide show.
How is that any way relevant to my question?
What I need is to slide images linearly (at one speed) and have the slideshow to Autoplay
There is no Gallery or method at the moment to do this on Wix.com that I’m aware of. Wix Support doesn’t have a solution for this either.
WIX pro here. Partner… whatever you call us lol. Please make this possible!! I also want the linear effect but AUTOPLAY. It doesn’t seem possible even with Covid. None of the other galleries offer the linear style and all have that stutter like OP says. Pretty please give us a solution for this 
Too Many issues in Wix now, first issue of not having dropdown list in wix to connect options with URls now Slider Gallery doesn’t have an auto play option and plus the code is not working. Unbelievable
And you don’t see any improvements either. It’s been a year now since I raised this issue - there is no attention from the developers to the client’s feedback.
I have two premium pages with WIX - I’m thinking on switching to another host now. Wouldn’t recommend anyone staying here at this point to be honest.
Ok here is the solution which worked for me.
So when you go to editor Do not click on Store because Slider Gallery in Store is Useless because it doesn’t have auto play function, which is very funny.
So click on + button in Editor then click Gallery then select Slider Galleries from the list below galleries have auto play option
Post Card Slider
This one can auto slide only one image or product at a time so if you want multiple images or products then click on the gallery you have already added (Post Card Slider Gallery)in the editor, then click on design Icon select designs from the list. Select Grids for auto sliding multiple images or products or you can chose the last design in the list . Please Note Only some of those designs have Auto Play option. To find out which design has Auto Play option select the design from the list then go back and click on the gallery and then click on the setting icon and you will see the option "Auto Play On Loading, make sure its on. " You Can check all designs one buy one and find out which is has auto play option and choose the one you like.
Now The Question is how you add products in Auto Slider?
You will have to do bit of work here, unlike Store Slider Gallery which automatically adds Products collection for you, However store slider gallery is useless as it doesn’t have auto play option.
So to add products click on gallery then click on “change images” then upload images of products you want to show in gallery. You can arrange them in the order you like by moving images. Once uploaded select each image one by one and add Title, Description and link/url of each product on the right hand side. You can add price in Title if you want to show price, discount etc. Once completed then hit done and see preview if it auto slides or not.
If you want to select more rows and columns in the gallery then click on gallery then select layout and select rows and columns you want to show in gallery.
I know this is a bit of pain. Thanks to Wix for that.
Hi Star X,
Thanks for your response.
I’m aware of the types of galleries that have autoplay functions. Unfortunately, none of them have an option to slide images linearly . The only linear slider is the slider gallery(spheres) - and it doesn’t have an autoplay function.
It’s also weird to have most of your galleries messing with transition speed, and have only one gallery that have even slider transitions. You would think that it would be easier to have a linear transition for your galleries. They have it upside-down.
I REALLY NEED this functionallity too! WIX c’mon and do something!!! How hard can it be to put an autoplay button on this???
this worked for us. thanks
I realise this is quite late, but I had the same problem and I found a workaround. Hopefully some others might find this helpful too.
As everyone above has already pointed out, the ‘Slider (spheres)’ gallery does not have an autoplay feature. Instead, I’ve used the ‘Showcase’ gallery, and set that up to display images in a row (horizontal strip), which is set to autoplay in a linear fashion. Here’s how to do it:
Add > Gallery > Pro Galleries > Showcase
Click on the gallery in the page editor to edit the dimensions to your liking. You can change the images you want to display via the ‘Manage Media’ option, of course.
Next:
Settings > disable all the social settings to get the gallery to look like a simple slider
Layout > Slider (make sure ‘Slider’ is selected) > Customize Layout
Slideshow Settings > Loop images > checked
Slideshow Settings > Slide automatically > checked
Then, on the same screen, set the options for ‘Thumbnail resize’ and ‘Spacing’ the values best suited for your purpose. And you’re done! At this point, if you preview the gallery, it should autoplay linearly, albeit with a bit of a stop-start motion based on the time interval you’ve specified in Settings > Layout > Slider > Customize Layout > Time between images.
If you want the images to look circular, you can do so either by editing the images you upload to be ‘circular’ (images in PNG format, with transparent corners so that the image looks circular), since there doesn’t seem to be a radius option to set curved radii for the images.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!!!
Finally found a solution. You can add the Slider (The one below slide deck) from Wix Pro Gallery and it has an autoplay feature (you can go to settings > layout > custom layout. Additionally you can also change the image ratios and preferrable that you use PNGs with your desired shape and also you can remove the slider arrows visibility and also turn an annoying heart icon provided with the slider. Hope it helps !
why I don’t have slideshow settings?
Hi, thank you for the information. I wanted to ask you where can I find the autoplay feature?
You are a lifesaver, this worked perfectly!
