Delay on first image

[mahalo74]

is it possible to add a delay to the first image and for it to slide in from the right?

to expand on this: it would be great to have this implemented as optional slide metadata to override default settings, such as delay time or animation style.

The optional metadata is an interesting idea. I'll look into how that might fit in.

Edit: I should add that initDelay is a new property included in FlexSlider 2

I know, you closed this but is it, somehow, possible to delay the first image for a certain amount of time? Anything we can do right now, with the current version? Thanks for any info.

If you're looking to have a delay on the first image, but still load all the controls, the answer is sadly no. The best you can do in v1.8 is delay your .flexslider() call to delay the initializing of the entire plugin.

FlexSlider 2 isn't far off, though!

OK. I don't need any of the controls. I have created a grid slider of 8
slider, 4columns, 2 rows and I just don't want them to change images at the
same time. I need to delay at least half of them to make it look good.
Understand my idea. Maybe you can tell me what to do since I do not need
any of the controls.

Thanks for your fast response. I just love that slider!!!!!!!!!!!

This should do the trick. Add the properties to your slider that needs to have the delay, and adjust the timeout value to whatever you see fit.

slideshow: false,
start: function(slider) {
  setTimeout(slider.resume, 2000);
}
