Captions on mobile

[xim]

I'd also like to show captions on mobile. Preferably shown when you swipe in a new slide, and auto-hide after a configurable delay.

you can show the bars on IOS, if you comment out line 180. if ( isMobile ) { $( '#swipebox-bottom-bar' ).remove(); } will only show the top bar. On android they magically still disappear, though.

Yes, but I'd like to do this without patching it – simply by extending or configuring the plugin.

I remember that this was a built-in feature.

This (https://github.com/brutaldesign/swipebox/commit/793e645c596ff90449d60ae35ce7d0b7a2b52ea0#diff-5bfca3fe782d82657f626fdc9a4d9deeR184) is the commit where the option was added to decide if to hide them or not. Now is disappeared thanks to this commit: https://github.com/brutaldesign/swipebox/commit/fb316ae01b72a5e621b7b2d9ad86d88f442f1130#diff-5bfca3fe782d82657f626fdc9a4d9deeR174

Why?

[julianxhokaxhiu]

Btw for a quick and not so dirty solution, to fix this you just have to add

#swipebox-action {
    ...
    &.visible-bars {
        ...
        display: block !important; // <-- this!
    }
        ...
}
...
#swipebox-caption {
    ...
    &.visible-bars {
        ...
        display: block !important; // <-- this!
    }
}

to the swipebox scss file.

I agree. Why this option was deleted? I think it's useful enough to have an option just for mobile

Any updates?

In my js file it looks like this:

if ( isMobile && plugin.settings.removeBarsOnMobile ) {
    $( '#swipebox-bottom-bar, #swipebox-top-bar' ).remove();
}

removeBarsOnMobile: false

works fine for me.

I'm with Estamel. removeBarsOnMobile: false works great. Thank goodness, because it's important to be able to show captions on mobile!

[julianxhokaxhiu]

My fault, when I did the pull request that patch was also inside :) But I forgot to add it to the documentation.

@brutaldesign do you mind to add it please?

appearantly removeBarsOnMobile: false not longer works on android. Removing all the negative positioning from the top bar also doesnt seem to help. It´s like the bars are not even created for mobile from the start.
