Adding slides after specific index. about cycle2

[malsup]

That's not supported by C2 and it really sounds like an extreme edge case. You can either append or prepend slides to the container with the "add" command. To prepend, add a third argument of true.

Hi malsup,

well... it's not that extreme :)

You have an example which displays tweets in a vertical carousel. Imagine this scenario.

Every minute an AJAX call is made to fetch new tweets. When a new tweet comes, it should be inserted just after currently showed slide. Appending new tweets leaves user "out of date" as it might take minutes to cycle to new tweets.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

I would argue that the tweets should always be in chronological order and that inserting new ones somewhere in the middle doesn't make sense. Given that, I suggest either appending or prepending the new slides and then programmatically advancing the slideshow to the desired slide index.

Thank you for answering the question about prepending! I've been looking all over for that!

I have been looking for how to prepend for about an hour. I guess it could be really helpful for others if something about the prepend option were to be included in the API documentation.
