resetting bxSlider

Question

I took a different direction with a carousel I implemented, opting for bxSlider instead of jCarousel. This is for an image gallery I am building http://rjwcollective.com/equ

Answer 1

I was writing a program which make a bunch of AJAX calls on a timer and displays the results in a bxslider and I also ran into a problem where the bxslider wasn't refreshing.This is how I solved it:

var $slider = null;

And inside the portion of code where you need to initialize or refresh the slider do this:

if ($slider == null) {
    $slider = $('.sliderDashboard').bxSlider({
        slideWidth: 200,
        minSlides: 1,
        maxSlides: 1,
        slideMargin: 10
    });
}
else {
    $slider.reloadSlider();
}
