Thanks for the quick response!
I implemented what you suggested, and now the correct image is displayed
when the slideshow is shown, however, I am having an issue with my pager. It
works the first time, but once the slideshow is shown a second time, the
pager thumbnails do not function until I click on the one that belongs to
the slideshow that was shown as 'startingSlide'. pretty weird, eh?
Here's the function that my preview thumbnails that open up the slideshow
call onclick:
function startSlideshow(id){
$('#image-attach-body').cycle('stop');
$('#image-attach-body').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed: 300,
timeout: 0,
pager: '#image_gallery',
prev: '#prev',
next: '#next',
nowrap: 1,
startingSlide: id,
// callback fn that creates a thumbnail to use as pager anchor
pagerAnchorBuilder: function(idx, slide) {
if(gallery_thumbnails[idx])
return '<li id="thumb_' + idx +'"><a href="#"><img src="' +
gallery_thumbnails[idx] + '" /></a></li>';
else
return '<h3>Weitere Bilder:</h3>';
}
});
$('#image_gallery').show();
$('#gallery').jqm().jqmShow();
}
I think this might be related to the pagerAnchorBuilder being called
multiple times (each time the slideshow is hidden and then reopened). What
can be done about this?
Thanks!
