Anyone used Lof Jslidernews - jquery slider?

leapin_lep

Just wondering if anyone in here has used this
http://landofcoder.com/our-porfolios/jquery-plugins/item/10-the-lof-jsidernews-plugin.html jquery plugin before? and if they have would they hav any notion of how to add play and pause button to it??

I've managed to create a new button which can get the slider moving from stopped but only moves 1 place, it doesnt keep going after that. This is the button I have added to it

playpause:function(delay, direction, wait ){
			
			this.play( this.settings.interval,'next', true );
			return this;
		},

This is the setup of the code.. any help would be much appreciated! am only gettin to grips with jquery really!

Thanks for your time

managed to solve it myself.. thanks anyway guys!

just incase anyone else is ever looking for the same thing.. i set up 2 buttons in the end and used these functions playrotate and playpause.

probably not the cleanest way of doing it but it does the job!

cheers anyways

		playrotate:function( manual, item ){
			
			this.play( this.settings.interval,'next', true );
			this.settings.auto=true;
			return this;
		},
		playpause:function( manual, item ){
			
			this.stop( this.settings.interval,'next', false );
			this.settings.auto=false;
			return this;
		},
