supersized captions not working with wordpress

Question

I am working with a multisite WP platform.

Supersized images are loading, but I am not getting the thumbnail tray, progress loading bar, captions, transitions or nav arrows. It seems like jquery/jquery.supersized does not realize there are multiple images.

I have tried to duplicate the script loading from the supersized site, but to no avail. In a sense, load exactly what the demo loads to try to bug out the issue.

Here is what is in my header:

                });
            });

    </script>
</head>

The images load and the slideshow works, but there are no nav arrows, thumbnail tray or the main thing that I want, captions. I tried initially to enqueue the scripts from functions.php but that was not working so I was trying to pinpoint the issue. Another ball in the chain is, if I add the supersized plugin for WP, along with the NextGen gallery, it all works fine. I get the tray, progress bar and captions. The reason I do not want to use the plugins is I want to control the captions in a more granular level by pulling the images and captions from a CPT. That point is moot though if I cannot get captions from the basic implementation. I am wondering if I am missing a load parameter or a load order. All resources load successfully, so i dont know why it would not reciprocate from the demo site, unless there was some conflict.

Was it helpful?

Solution

This was because of a stupid mistake on my part.

You have to include the Id hooks in the body to get the captions. I thought those were created through the js, but not true. You have to provide the html framework for the captions, progress bar, etc to render properly. So, in your <body>, add 

<!--Thumbnail Navigation-->
    <div id="prevthumb"></div>
    <div id="nextthumb"></div>

    <!--Arrow Navigation-->
    <a id="prevslide" class="load-item"></a>
    <a id="nextslide" class="load-item"></a>

    <div id="thumb-tray" class="load-item">
        <div id="thumb-back"></div>
        <div id="thumb-forward"></div>
    </div>

    <!--Time Bar-->
    <div id="progress-back" class="load-item">
        <div id="progress-bar"></div>
    </div>

    <!--Control Bar-->
    <div id="controls-wrapper" class="load-item">
        <div id="controls">

            <a id="play-button"><img id="pauseplay" src="img/pause.png"/></a>

            <!--Slide counter-->
            <div id="slidecounter">
                <span class="slidenumber"></span> / <span class="totalslides"></span>
            </div>

            <!--Slide captions displayed here-->
            <div id="slidecaption"></div>

            <!--Thumb Tray button-->
            <a id="tray-button"><img id="tray-arrow" src="img/button-tray-up.png"/></a>

            <!--Navigation-->
            <ul id="slide-list"></ul>

        </div>
    </div>

This is not explicit on the supersized site, but if you pay attention (like I should have done) to the demo files provided, it explains all.
