Hi all,
I'm new hear, so please be kind!
I just discovered Owl, and I'm trying to use it in a project.
I need to butt a
has anyone written a plugin, to float the dots over the OWL?
Or writtem a different form of navigation, that sits on top of the sliding images? (eg left/right arrows etc)
ANY help would be greatfully received, but I'm still a learner of HTML and CSS, so bear with me!
The HTML and CSS from the above link are attached in case it helps
MANY thanks in advance
Jez
Hi Jez; you are supoused to style those dots with your own CSS. If you want them to sit on top of the slider the easiest way is to put a negative top margin (e.g. margin-top:-20px;) and some z-indexes. You can copy-paste the following CSS, I tested it on your website too and it does what you want:
.owl-stage-outer {
position:relative;
z-index:10;
}
.owl-controls {
position:relative;
z-index:99;
margin-top:-35px;
}
If you want to remove the dots and use arrows instead, you should create your own divs for arrows, position them wherever you want (using CSS), give them a class like "next-btn" and "prev-btn" and add this javascript code:
// Go to the next item
$('.mlabs-next-btn').click(function() {
owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel');
})
// Go to the previous item
$('.mlabs-prev-btn').click(function() {
owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel');
})
If you are not sure what CSS to use just go to a website where there is a slider that you like and inspect what CSS they are using to do their arrows (on chrome, right click on the arrow of the slider you like and click inspect).
Hi Lautaro,
many thanks, you're an absolute star!
I was trying to push the dots up onto the images, but using a -ve margin and pushing up the panel below, is much easier!
Thanks for thinking roudn teh problem a different way to me.
Cheers
Jez
.owl-carousel{
position: relative;
}
.owl-dots{
position: absolute;
top:10px;
left:25%;
right:25%;
}
This code will make the dots to be on the top and center of the carousel. The same applies for the owl-nav class
