Can a Carousel Item call another Carousel?

Hi Kittsy, Can a Carousel Item call another Carousel? That is, from an item in a carousel, can I spawn a new carousel? I´m having trouble trying to make it work... Am I in the wrong track here? Thanks! Pancho.

I have not used the Carousel Plugin yet (dying to though!) It should work like any other menu plugin though. Just select the screen you want the particular Carousel menu item to open. Hope that help! ian

Thanks Ian, but it seems there´s a problem at load time with the number of items to load. I´m using a remote (dropbox) to load the items of the master carousel and it doesn´t want to start. Pancho

Hmmm, I'll check it out when I get home. Maybe Kittsy will chime in soon as well:) Ian

I can confirm that the Data URL does not work in the Buzz Carousel plug in. Every time I use it, it just crashes. Andy

Hi Kittsy, Thanks for your answer. Do you have a date in mind for your next release? So I can program my dev activities. Pancho.

I cannot see why a carousel button cannot link to another carousel screen? try removing any links to dataURL in your web control panel, this is what caused carousel to crash for me and then link screens. I would test myself for you but my app is pending release so cannot make any changes pre-release

Thanks Walms. Appreciate your advise and good will. Indeed, I was loading the items of the "master" carousel with a list from my dropbox because I use a json snippet keeper (plug-in from Stobe) for my "children" carousels (which are ten of them). Therefore, I´m unable to call them directly from the control panel. I´d try to create the master carousel in the control panel and use the screen Id from the json snippet of my children carousels to see if they load. Keep you posted about the result! Best Regards, Pancho.

After may tries this is the error I get when calling carousel. This is a control panel-built carousel, nothing fancy, just a carousel with 10 items. I replaced the data URL one with this one which was working before.

Unless I choose to do the "children" carousel by hand, nothing else works. I´ll wait for Kittsy to release its upgrade to the plug-in which hopefully will include the reading of data URL properly. Pancho
