Slideshow function

[gtiani]

Is there a way to make the Slideshow function respond to a finger swipe action rather then requiring a click on the arrows?
The arrow click is good when working on a PC with a mouse. But, on a small cellphone a finger swipe would be easier.

hello
the slideshow component is supposed to handle swipes on mobile, did you try and find out it doesn't work?
please provide your test online if you did
thx

Hi,
The slideshow is used on the first page of mistibooks.com about halfway down the page. It works by clicking the arrows but not with swipes.

@gtiani I just released a new version of Silex, see details here
In the change logs I see "fix slideshow on mobile"
So please try again and check if it works better now (remove and add a new slideshow)

Hello,
No luck. I opened Silex & my website, deleted the slideshow, added a new slideshow and add 4 slides. Then re-built the website, published, and deployed. The new website is at mistibooks.com and works as before. The slideshow works fine if I click on the left and right arrows or click on the circles along the bottom of the slideshow. However, a finger swipe action does not move the slides. I tested the site on my cellphone. Other websites that I visit work fine with a swipe action. The Silex built website does not respond to a swipe action. If there is anything else that I could try, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Gary

hello @gtiani
I think I managed to fix this issue with #1136
It is live on https://preprod.silex.me/
Could you give it a go and let me know if it is fixed? You need to delete all slideshows first then add them again

Hello Alex,
I tried opening my editable website using preprod.silex.me. However, the two pages of my website are all displayed on a single page with both pages mixed. When I try to add a slideshow, the location defaults to the bottom of the page rather than where I am trying to place it. Should the version in preprod.silex.me be backward compatible and display my website the same as the previous version?

[lexoyo]

@gtiani could you try again on preprod please?
Also if it does not work please share your site with me

Hello Alex,
No luck. My website won't open correctly. You can see the problem by opening the "clean-square" example. When I open it with the Silex.me site, everything works fine and I can toggle between the two pages. However, if I use the preprod.silex.me and open "clean-square", everything is on a single page and I cannot toggle between the two pages.
Am I doing something wrong? Should the preprod.silex.me be able to open the "clean-square" example?
Sincerely,
Gary

Oh ok
Thank you for the example, I will fix this

[lexoyo]

@gtiani preprod.silex.me is fixed, sorry about that, some files where missing

Please try again the swipe

[gtiani]

Eureka!!!! It works.
It's so much easier to use the swipe motion rather than trying to click on the small arrow.
Thank you very much.
