I'm using the bxslider plugin, and have created some external controls for the previous and next function, although I cant seem to figure out how to do the same with the start/stop control.
Basically I want to use this as a play/pause function for the slider.
Does anyone have any experience with this plugin?
Here's what I have so far, without the start/stop function working:

Also, I want the slider to "auto" play, as well a having this external controls. I just noticed that clicking on any of my links seems to disable the auto play, and I have to refresh the page to get it back.
I don't know if you still need an answer to this, but if you update your code to this, it should work:
var slider = $('#bxslider').bxSlider({ auto: true, controls: false }); $('#go-prev').click(function(){ slider.goToPreviousSlide(); slider.startShow(); //added this line return false; }); $('#go-next').click(function(){ slider.goToNextSlide(); slider.startShow(); //added this line return false; }); $('#my-start-stop').click(function(){ /* added a class to your #my-start-start a tag called "stopShow", note: would recommend that you also change the text to say "Stop" when the show is active and "Start" when the show is not. :) */ if($('#my-start-stop').attr('class') == 'stopShow'){ slider.stopShow(); $('#my-start-stop').removeClass('stopShow'); } else { slider.startShow(); $('#my-start-stop').addClass('stopShow'); } return false; });
