OpenCart Change Slideshow Speed by davellandudno

To save anyone else having to struggle to work it out, here’s the solution:

1) Find the following file on the server:

catalog>view>javascript>jquery>nivo-slider>jquery.nivo.slider.pack

2) Towards the end of the file, you will find this section that controls the defaults:

(‘nivoslider’,nivoslider);});};$.fn.nivoSlider.defaults={effect:’random’,slices:15,boxCols:8,boxRows:4,animSpeed:500,pauseTime:3000,startSlide:

3) Change the value ‘pauseTime’ from the default 3000 to something like 6000 or 9000

4) Save/upload file

5) Job done

Alternatively, you can change it in the template file

Open: catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/slideshow.tpl

Find:
$(‘#slideshow‘).nivoSlider();

Change To:
$(‘#slideshow‘).nivoSlider({pauseTime:8000});
