Cycle Single Image Alt Caption

in Using jQuery Plugins • 8 years ago

I have a page where the user can pick from several albums. I display a slideshow and additional information by using the image.alt attribute. My code follows the cycle / caption demo as follows:

$(function() {
	$('#slideshow').cycle({
	fx: 'fadeZoom',
	timeout: 2000,
	after: function() {
	$('#caption').html(this.alt);
	}
	});
	});
	</script>

Everything works fine, unless the album has only one single image - then the "after" function doesn't fire. How can I force the "after" function to fire regardless of the number of images in the page?

That’s a bug/feature in cycle. You would have to test for a single image.

Just so I approach this correctly (or most efficiently), can you suggest how I would "test for a single image", then how I would handle a positive test?

something like…

$("#slideshow img").length = 1

Thanks for your help - not sure exactly what to do with your suggested code, but I ended up duplicating the the image if I found only one image. I'm sure not an elegant solution, but it worked.
