Pause Nivo Slider

Question

I'd like to pause the Nivo slider for 5 seconds before it runs but show the first image. So I'll need to add some code in the property afterLoad I believe.

I've tried setTimout before running the slider code be it doesn't give the result I'd like.

This is my current code:

$(window).load(function(){
    $('#slider').nivoSlider({
        animSpeed: 500,
        pauseTime: 4000,
        effect : 'boxRain',
        directionNav : false,
        controlNav: false,
        afterLoad: function(){
            //$('#slider').data('nivoslider').stop();       
        }
    });
});

Answer 1

I don't know your exact code but you could use .stop() on it and after 5 seconds you start it again. $('#slider').data('nivoslider').stop(); //Stop the Slider $('#slider').data('nivoslider').delay(5000).start(); //Start the Slider

Correction (because delay didn't work in that case):

$(window).load(function(){
  $('#slider').nivoSlider({
   animSpeed: 500,
   pauseTime: 4000,
   effect : 'boxRain',
   directionNav : false,
   controlNav: false,
  });
  jQuery('#slider').data('nivoslider').stop();
  setTimeout("jQuery(#slider').data('nivoslider').start()",5000);
});
