Hi,
I’ve been looking for a way to prevent users from being able to swipe a slideshow while viewing my website on its mobile version.
I’ve been unable to find any guidance on using Corvid to programmatically disable swiping. Is there a property or function relating to the slideshow element that can be used to disable swiping?
Thanks,
Ed
Well, this question has been asked several times before.
Apparently, there isn’t any straightforward way to do it.
However, CodeQueen offered a workaround that worked for me back then (but I can’t guarantee it’s still working):
To use some code to detect slide change and then to slide it back by code:
https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/$w.Slideshow.html#onChange
https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/$w.Slideshow.html#changeSlide
Thanks for getting back to me, I couldn’t find the past similar questions. I’ll look into that method.
Another rudimentary solution just came to mind:
I guess I could put a transparent container box in front of the slideshow but behind any interactive elements like buttons. This way I assume swiping would not activate the slideshow. Need to test it out but don’t see why it shouldn’t work
@embsats maybe, but then the slideshow won’t be interactive. The buttons, or user inputs in the slide will be covered by a transparent layer.
