Touch screen not good with Carousel

Post by Beth »

Maybe it's just me or my phone, but it seems that it is not possible to scroll up and down when there is a carousel on the page and you want to move the page. It's as if the carousel blocks the screen's ability to maneuver, which makes the page unusable - or at least very frustrating. Works great on a desktop but no good on a phone.

Is there a fix for this or is it just me or should I think of a different way all together?

See this example: https://oldbow.com/used-bows-slideshow.htm and try to move vertically when the carousel is covering the entire screen.

Thanks in advance.

The reason for this is because the carousel monitors touch events for scrolling through the slides.
For touch screens I recommend to use 'flexible' mode of the carousel, then it will work in both desktop and mobile mode.

Re: Touch screen not good with Carousel

Thank you Pablo.

The carousel is set to Width = Flexable / Height = Fixed. There is a single graphic on each panel. If I were to make the graphic into a background image for each panel I have the same result.

I have an HTML script to make the carousel swipeable, which works fine, but same problem with or without script:

Maybe I'll try a Lightbox gallery? It's not what I want but it has to be useful. Does the OWL carousel work better?

Re: Touch screen not good with Carousel

Post by Pablo »

The built-in carousel uses Bootstrap.

The behavior is discussed here:

Re: Touch screen not good with Carousel

Post by Beth »

Thank you Pablo.

That's good to know and maybe I missed it in the documentation. I have spent many hours trying to make it work but now I know why it doesn't. This should be a FAQ or something.

I've gone with a plain-vanilla Slideshow (not swipeable) but at least it is usable. Alas...
