Jquery Tools Slideshow Plugin: How to override default configs

Question

On this page: http://flowplayer.org/tools/tabs/slideshow.html

Halfway down the page I find this code under the heading of Usage:

$(".slidetabs").tabs(".images > div", {

 // enable "cross-fading" effect
 effect: 'fade',
 fadeOutSpeed: "slow",

 // start from the beginning after the last tab
 rotate: true

// use the slideshow plugin. It accepts its own configuration
}).slideshow();

How can I modify (or rather, what is the proper syntax) the last line, where it says

.slideshow();

and change the interval to 6000 instead of the default interval:3000?

Answer 1

In most jquery plugins, you provide configuration options like this.

.slideshow({interval: 6000});

Answer 2

Hi,

Here two params are being passed. the first is the your element ".images > div" and the second one is a hash that represents configuration options. If you check the link you have provided, all configuration options are listed there along with their respsctive default value ie if you dont specify a custom value for an option, default value will be used. So to set a custom value to interval, add interval : 6000 below the line rotate: true . I think that should do what you want.
