Question

I’m trying to create a jQuery Slider like this.

I can’t find any tutorials or plugins anywhere that make them like this one.

Answer 1

I would highly recommend the SerialScroll plug-in here is a demo, and the documentation can be found here.

I created a really cool image slider with this plug-in and some simple html. Below is the code and HTML that I used.

<div id="featProd_container">
    <span id="previous" class="disable">&nbsp;</span>
    <span id="next" class="step">&nbsp;</span>

<%--    <div id="featProd_maskOver"></div>--%>
    <div id="featProd_mask">
        <asp:ListView ID="lvFeatured" runat="server" GroupItemCount="2">
            <LayoutTemplate>
                <div id="featProd_scroll">
                    <div id="groupPlaceholder" runat="server" />
                </div>
            </LayoutTemplate>
            <GroupTemplate>
                <div class="itemSet">
                    <div id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />
                </div>
            </GroupTemplate>
            <GroupSeparatorTemplate></GroupSeparatorTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <div class="item">
                    <a href='<%# ((string)Eval("DetailUrl")).Replace("~", "") %>'><img src='<%# Eval("SliderImageUrl") %>' /></a> 
                    <div class="itemInfo">
                        <h3><a href='<%# ((string)Eval("DetailUrl")).Replace("~", "") %>' style="color:Black;"><%# Eval("DisplayName") %></a> </h3> 
                        <span><%# Eval("ProductId")%></span>
                    </div>
                </div>          
            </ItemTemplate>     
        </asp:ListView>
    </div>
    <div id="jumpLinkContainer" style="display: table; margin:0 auto;">
        <ul id="featProd_control" style="width: 70px;">
            <asp:PlaceHolder ID="phJumpLinks" runat="server" /> 
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

Just tee up a script call like this one below and configure the behavior and the navigation element selectors.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() { loadFeaturedProducts(); });

    function loadFeaturedProducts() {

        $('.item > a, .itemInfo > h3 > a').click(function() { var link = $(this).attr('href'); if (link) { document.location.href = link; } });

        $('#featProd_container > #featProd_mask').serialScroll({
            items: '#featProd_scroll > .itemSet',
            prev: '#featProd_container > #previous',
            next: '#featProd_container > #next',
            //offset: -230, //when scrolling to photo, stop 230 before reaching it (from the left)
            start: 0, //as we are centering it, start at the 2nd
            duration: 700,
            force: true,
            stop: true,
            lock: false,
            cycle: false, //don't pull back once you reach the end
            easing: 'easeOutQuart', //use this easing equation for a funny effect
            jump: true, //click on the images to scroll to them
            navigation: '#featProd_container > #jumpLinkContainer > #featProd_control > li',
            onBefore: function(e, elem, $pane, $items, pos) {

                var nav = $('#featProd_container > #jumpLinkContainer > #featProd_control > li');
                nav.removeClass("active"); nav.eq(pos).toggleClass("active");

                if ($items) {
                    var jq = $('#featProd_container > #next, #featProd_container > #previous').removeClass("disable");
                    if (pos == 0)
                        $('#featProd_container > #previous').toggleClass("disable");
                    else if (pos == ($items.length - 1))
                        $('#featProd_container > #next').toggleClass("disable");

                }
            }
        });
    }
</script>
