[Plugin: WP Carousel] Scrolls the embedded videos inserted into posts! on mobile

I’m not sure about that issue. I haven’t tried WP Carousel on mobile devices. Well, I have, but not having videos in the posts.

I think the easiest solution is disabling autoscrolling when the user is browser with a mobile device.

How to do this? Let’s assume you have a function named is_mobile() that returns true when the user is using a mobile phone and false when he is not.

Open wp-carousel.php and locate the following code (near line 1267):

if (!isset($value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS']))
			{
				$value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = 0;
			}
			else
			{
				$value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = (int) $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'];
			}

When $value[‘AUTOSLIDE_POSTS’] is 0, autosliding is disabled, so we will have to modify that piece of code to take into account that independently the value set in config, if the user is using a mobile phone, it will be 0.

That is:

if (!isset($value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS']) || is_mobile())
			{
				$value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = 0;
			}
			else
			{
				$value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = (int) $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'];
			}

How to define function is_mobile()? Well, there different ways. For instace, this post shows one of them.

A different solution is hiding WP Carousel when the user uses a mobile phone, but if the problem is solved disabling autosliding, I think this is not needed.

In any case, I’ve plans to rewrite WP Carousel, but it will take a lot of time, so use one of this solutions instead of waiting for a new release.

Thanks for using WP Carousel!

I think it’s bnc_wptouch_is_mobile(), but I’m not sure. You should ask the developers of WPTouch for this.

Edit: The code of that function is:

function bnc_wptouch_is_mobile() {
	global $wptouch_plugin;

	return ( $wptouch_plugin->applemobile && $wptouch_plugin->desired_view == 'mobile' );
}

That function returns if the user is in mobile interface, so you should create a new function, is_mobile() which detects just if the user is using a mobile, no matter he is using the mobile version of the site or the regular one, something like:

function is_mobile() {
	global $wptouch_plugin;

	return ( $wptouch_plugin->applemobile);
}

I think it should work, but I haven’t tried it.
