Expose bjqsGo to the outside world about basic-jquery-slider

[klinger-ofir]

BTW, what I did was to just add this code to the end of the function:

var bjqsGo = function (direction, position) {
    //....
}
// Exposes the bjqsGo function
this.bjqsGo = bjqsGo;

return this;

Note that you need to save a reference to the bjqs instance:

var ref = $('#my-slideshow').bjqs({
    // options
});

Otherwise, every time you call the bjqs() function you will get another instance of it over the old one.

Now that you have a reference, you can call:

// Go forward
ref.bjqsGo('forward', false);

// Go backward
ref.bjqsGo('backward', false);

Hey, thanks for the feedback, I completely agree!

I have a new version of bjqs which is very close to release, I completely rebuilt the code-base and included a bunch of new features - exposing the 'go' function is one of them :)

Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback, and thanks for using the slider.

Hi there, we've hooked a click event on the navigation buttons to simulate this function, e.g. to enable swiping for the slider:

$('#slider').bind('swipeleft', function() {
$('#slider a.bjqs-next').trigger('click');
});
$('#slider').bind('swiperight', function() {
$('#slider a.bjqs-prev').trigger('click');
});

You could easily adjust this code to "jump" to slides.
