Step 1. Add a ShortPoint Design Element to Your Page
You can easily add a ShortPoint Design Element to your pages using ShortPoint Page Builder. For the purpose of this article, we will use the Slideshows Design Element, however, you may also use Image Carousels or Tickers Design Element to your page as they also contain Loop Speed/Speed settings.
Modern Page
You can start with adding a ShortPoint web part to your page by clicking the plus button and selecting ShortPoint from the list of the web parts:
Then, click the blue Insert button to open the ShortPoint Page Builder:
Note: If adding the ShortPoint web part for the first time, the Info Design Element will be added automatically. Click the cross icon to remove it.Then, click the blue Insert button to open the Page Builder.
Classic Page
1. Choose the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
2. Click the blue Insert button.
Then, select Slideshows Design Element from the Page Builder grid.
Step 2. Set the Loop Speed/Speed of Your Design Element
Before copying the Design Element from your page, it is important that you set their Loop Speed/Speed as it will be the property that we need to update later on as we go along this article.
2.1. Open the Design Element's settings
Edit the page.
Click the cog wheel icon of your Design Element to enter its settings:
2.2. Set the Loop Speed/Speed
In the Settings tab, you will find the Loop Speed/Speed option by clicking the dropdown menu. Select any speed from the dropdown list.
- For Slideshows and Image Carousels Design Element:
- For Tickers Design Element:
2.3. Save your Changes
Save your changes by clicking the Update button.
Step 3. Copy the Design Element from your SharePoint Page
To copy your Design Element, click the ellipsis (...) button and select Copy.
Step 4. Paste the copied Design Element into a Text Editor
Open any text editor (for example, Notepad), and then paste the copied Design Element to see the code.
Step 5. Change the Loop Speed Animation
To change the loop speed option, look in the code for the attribute loop-speed.
Note: If you are using SlideShows or Image Carousels Design Element, look for Loop Speed. If your Design Element is Tickers, look for Speed.
Select the value that comes between double quotation (" ") after the Loop-speed/Speed word, and change it with the amount you would like in milliseconds.
If you would like the SlideShows/Image Carousels/Tickers Design Element to rotate every 1 minute, then you need to put (1 minute * 60 seconds * 1000 milliseconds = 60000). If you would like it to rotate every 1 hour, then you need to put (1 hour * 60 minutes * 60 seconds * 1000 milliseconds = 3600000).
In this example, we are going to change the Loop Speed value to 30000 to rotate every 30 seconds.
Once you are done changing the Loop Speed value, copy the code again, so you can paste it back to your page.
Important: If you update any of the settings of your Slideshows, Image Carousels or Tickers Design Element from the Settings, Items, Connect, Visibility and Custom CSS tab, the Loop Speed/Speed value will reset, and you will have to repeat these steps again. It is because ShortPoint Loop Speed/Speed dropdown menu will not recognize the numeric value inside the loop speed option you set from its code. However, editing other Design Elements you have on your page should not affect your Slideshows/Image Carousels/Tickers Design Element Loop Speed value.
Step 6. Paste the Code Back to your SharePoint Page
While in edit mode, you can paste the code in an empty ShortPoint Section or you can replace the Design Element that you need to update:
If you are satisfied with the result, you may save and publish your page.
Result
After following this article, your Slideshows, Image Carousels or Tickers Design Element should now have the Loop Speed/Speed that you set.
