Loop Image Carousel

exaktasoftware · September 2022

I'm using Image Carousel in WP bakery but it is not pretty that there is empty/white space when you scroll to the last picture. I've check "Slider loop" but the only thing that happends is that when you have showed the last picture, the whole carousel starts over again. Isn't there a why to always shows eg three picture and no white/empty space?

I've solved it by this fix:

/*
Turn Visual Composer Image Carousel into Visual Composer Infinite Image Carousel
Include before the </head> tag on yout theme's header.php 
Read the detailed step-by-step at https://humbertosilva.com/visual-composer-infinite-image-carousel/
*/

// auxiliary code to create triggers for the add and remove class for later use
(function($){
$.each(["addClass","removeClass"],function(i,methodname){
    var oldmethod = $.fn[methodname];
    $.fn[methodname] = function(){
          oldmethod.apply( this, arguments );
          this.trigger(methodname+"change");
          return this;
    }
});
})(jQuery);

// main function for the infinite loop
function vc_custominfiniteloop_init(vc_cil_element_id){

  var vc_element = '#' + vc_cil_element_id; // because we're using this more than once let's create a variable for it
  window.maxItens = jQuery(vc_element).data('per-view'); // max visible items defined
  window.addedItens = 0; // auxiliary counter for added itens to the end 

  // go to slides and duplicate them to the end to fill space
  jQuery(vc_element).find('.vc_carousel-slideline-inner').find('.vc_item').each(function(){
    // we only need to duplicate the first visible images
    if (window.addedItens < window.maxItens) {
      if (window.addedItens == 0 ) {
        // the fisrt added slide will need a trigger so we know it ended and make it "restart" without animation
        jQuery(this).clone().addClass('vc_custominfiniteloop_restart').removeClass('vc_active').appendTo(jQuery(this).parent());            
      } else {
        jQuery(this).clone().removeClass('vc_active').appendTo(jQuery(this).parent());         
      }
      window.addedItens++;
    }
  });

  // add the trigger so we know when to "restart" the animation without the user knowing about it
  jQuery('.vc_custominfiniteloop_restart').bind('addClasschange', null, function(){

    // navigate to the carousel element , I know, its ugly ...
    var vc_carousel = jQuery(this).parent().parent().parent().parent();

    // first we temporarily change the animation speed to zero
    jQuery(vc_carousel).data('vc.carousel').transition_speed = 0;

    // make the slider go to the first slide without animation and because the fist set of images shown
    // are the same that are being shown now the slider is now "restarted" without that being visible 
    jQuery(vc_carousel).data('vc.carousel').to(0);

    // allow the carousel to go to the first image and restore the original speed 
    setTimeout("vc_cil_restore_transition_speed('"+jQuery(vc_carousel).prop('id')+"')",100);
  });

}

// restore original speed setting of vc_carousel
function vc_cil_restore_transition_speed(element_id){
// after inspecting the original source code the value of 600 is defined there so we put back the original here
jQuery('#' + element_id).data('vc.carousel').transition_speed = 600; 
}

// init     
jQuery(document).ready(function(){    
  // find all vc_carousel with the defined class and turn them into infine loop
  jQuery('.vc_custominfiniteloop').find('div[data-ride="vc_carousel"]').each(function(){
    // allow time for the slider to be built on the page
    // because the slider is "long" we can wait a bit before adding images and events needed  
    var vc_cil_element = jQuery(this).prop("id");
    setTimeout("vc_custominfiniteloop_init('"+vc_cil_element+"')",2000);      
  });    
});
