Disable timer stops animation

[digitup]

When setting Timer to false. the slider doesn't animate the images and just display the first image. How can I get around that?

Right, that option is a little confusion. Setting timer to false actually disable to auto advance of slides altogether.

What you really want to do is display: none; the timer element if you don't want to show it.

.orbit-wrapper .timer { visibility: hidden; }

@mkelly12: Thank you so much. I have done that already through CSS. I just thought setting timer to false should disable and hide it. Many thanks.

Hi,

Sorry about jumping in after you've closed the convo.

But this seems a bit hacky to me. As you're still loading in the images etc., and then just hiding them. Could we not get an option that doesn't output the spinny clock, but leaves the animation intact? Seems a lot cleaner and I'm sure there must be a reasonable need for it out there.

I'd really love this as well - I thought this is how it should (would) perform when setting the timer to false.

Plus 1.

I scratched my head for a while on this one before finding this.

Not intuitive at all IMO.

Plus 1, this seems like a core feature since that timer gets in the way of a large block of content, especially on smaller devices.
