Implementing jCarousel + Captify in Blogger

This plugin is a combination jQuery jCarousel and jQuery Captify together to create a slick and cool way of showing the thumbnails and captions. Thumbnails can be scrolled with the use of previous and next buttons and when rolling/hovering over any thumbnail, the caption or the title of the thumbnail will slide up.

}

}

/************************************************

************************************************/

#list {

/************************************************

.caption-top, .caption-bottom {

cursor:default;

padding:2px;

font-size:11px;

text-align:center;

}



.caption-top {

border-width:0px;

}



.caption-bottom {

border-width:0px;

}



.caption a, .caption a {

background:#000;

border:none;

text-decoration:none;

padding:2px;

}



.caption a:hover, .caption a:hover {

background:#202020;

}

</style>



<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jcarousellite_1.0.1.pack.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="captify.tiny.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(function() {

$(".slider").jCarouselLite({

btnNext: ".next",

btnPrev: ".prev",

visible: 5,

auto: 900

});

});



$(document).ready(function(){

$('img.captify').captify({

// all of these options are... optional

// ---

// speed of the mouseover effect

speedOver: 'fast',

// speed of the mouseout effect

speedOut: 'normal',

// how long to delay the hiding of the caption after mouseout (ms)

hideDelay: 500,

// 'fade', 'slide', 'always-on'

animation: 'slide',

// text/html to be placed at the beginning of every caption

prefix: '',

// opacity of the caption on mouse over

opacity: '0.7',

// the name of the CSS class to apply to the caption box

className: 'caption-bottom',

// position of the caption (top or bottom)

position: 'bottom',

// caption span % of the image

spanWidth: '100%'

});

});



</script>





4.Now for adding the images into this plugin see the following markup:





<div id="list">

<div class="prev">

<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZn7O3JTULIwju7uGfIgEUQP2canK8ycsS9WRSS9nec-rYpEBLdtO6iif6-oexWOQxu0QAIsw9jtAzD5UhtlnADmNZhypWjU3u5XyWENF9NjZqvYdRAQ7B2-DmXvoVTHKV8Xn0vFmcumHj/s1600/prev.jpg" alt="prev" /></div>



<div class="slider">

<ul>

<li>

<a href="#" title="Title 1"><img src="1.jpg" alt="Title 1" class="captify" /></a>

</li>

<li>

<a href="#" title="Title 2"><img src="2.jpg" alt="Title 2" class="captify" /></a>

</li>

<li>

<a href="#" title="Title 3"><img src="3.jpg" alt="Title 3" class="captify" /></a>

</li>

</ul>

</div>

<div class="next">

<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNzLdPau9mrzS4vpTYCq9xPDN_BnpuhVwJa_bTROHsPXw2zZnPVMocCgOKR3_13apx3q1bDx55Il645lO6Xfeg4CCn_5um8y1lYLesjPz7TEEa4MVfP4jlELl4vtX85wTPt-MhjG0fPCXC/s1600/next.jpg" alt="next" /></div>

</div>

</div>



Here Title tag will contain the text which will appear when the thumbnail is rolled/hovered upon.
Another Important thing to note is that the positioning of the Next and Previous Arrows can be out of place , to rectify this just manually change the placement of the arrows using the
.next and .prev attributes present in the CSS Code.




5.Now save the Post/Page.
