Prerequisites


Step-by-step Tutorial

Follow the steps below to learn how to change the loop speed to specific values.


Step 1: Edit the ShortPoint web part

Go to the SharePoint page you want to use and click Edit:


Edit


Close the Toolbox:

Select the ShortPoint tag:

Step 2: Edit the Design Element


NOTEBefore proceeding, you must already have a Slideshow, an Image Carousel, or a Ticker on your page. 

Slideshow Design Element

Click the EasyPass tag of the Design Element you will use. For this guide, we will use the Slideshow Design Element:

Step 5: Paste and Prepare Code

Paste the copied code into a Notepad:


paste in a notepad


Look for loop-speed=


loop-speed=


NoteIf you are using SlideShows or Image Carousel Design Element, look for Loop Speed. If your Design Element is Ticker, look for Speed.

Change the value inside the double quotation (" ") to the amount you like in milliseconds. In this example, we are going to change the Loop Speed value to 10000 to rotate every 10 seconds:


change 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).


Once you are done changing the Loop Speed value, copy the code again:


copy


Step 6: Paste Code Back in SharePoint

Go back to your page and delete the existing Design Element:


delete


Then, right-click and paste the code you prepared in Step 5:


paste


Step 7: Save

Click the eye icon to see your page in real-time:

Save to keep your changes:


Save


ImportantIf you update any settings in your Slideshow, Image Carousel or Ticker, 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.


There you have it! You now know how to set a specific loop speed value for the Slideshow, Image Carousel, and Ticker Design Element.
