Mobile View: Listing detail page's slideshow behavior - Can't stop or go back to a photo #138

Closed johnsisland closed 9 years ago

johnsisland commented 9 years ago

Lots of complaints about how one views a listing's detail page's slideshows (SEARCH LISTING and RENTALS pages):

Hi Cody, When a ticket is closed does that mean it's resolved?

Hi Cody, I don't think this issue should be closed...as we are not able to stop the photo within a slideshow on mobile. How does one stop to view a photo longer in the slideshow? Or do we remove the automation of the slideshow for mobile only? Suggestions? It's basically cumbersome to view listing photos on mobile view b/c you can't stop to look at one longer. Manually advancing using the arrows on the image itself seems to make the slideshow "jump" to the next image and I think skips one frame/image? please look again at this, thanks

Well. I had implemented a solution where if you tap the photo, the slideshow stopped but now if you click a photo, it opens the larger photo.

In my opinion, you don't need a pause and open in new window. If you want a better look, just tap the photo and it will open the image in a new window.

The issue is before a mobile view, all devices responded the same way. One could pause or advance the slideshow as desired. That is not as easy not in Mobile view. Our clients want to stop and study a photo longer, then have the slideshow continue when they are ready. This was how the old site worked, and in addition to stopping and starting the slideshow, they could double-click not the photo to enlarge it. So what we need to resolve is allowing users to stop the slideshow in mobile view and let it continue when they are done. it doesn't seem easy right now.

OK. So maybe we should pull Natasha in here because from my perspective, I don't see why or how we could/would have both a pause and click to open (on mobile) - With more real estate, it's easy to have a pause button, but I don't know a good, clean way to get a pause button in there on the mobile view.

Again - to me, it seems like clicking a photo and seeing that photo enlarged to 100% solves the problem of being able to study it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Ok, so a few things (mobile view only): 1) Check out other major real estate websites – they either A) have a slideshow (that can pause...ours can't) or B) it's not a slideshow but rather a swiping action to view each photo. I believe you had mentioned that option before...

So basically, you need to advise on how to get our slideshows to behave either way above.

On another note: Unfortunately I didn't think through how the recent change request – to allow a user to click on a slideshow photo to open to 100% in a new window – would be applied to the mobile view. It's cumbersome and I'd rather have this feature removed. A user expects (based on the typical scenarios above) that if you tap on the slideshow photo in mobile view, it pauses the slideshow...instead ours makes the photo open in a new window at 100% which is cumbersome.

So how can we get our slideshows in mobile view to pause like others? currently you can't.

CodySwannGT commented 9 years ago

OK so below I'm only going to be talking about mobile

1) How you are describing it is EXACTLY how I originally implemented it: Swipe left / right to advance and go back. Tap to pause

2) Due to change requests, tapping no longer pauses, it opens the photo

3) Due to change requests, we got rid of swiping and replaced with the arrows on the left and right

What I think we should do is:

1) Lose the arrows and put back in swiping to advance and go back

2) Make taping pause the slide show

The only tricky thing there is making a tap/click open the photo in desktop view and NOT mobile. We'll have to come up with a creative solution for that.

I understand. Except every time throughout this entire process I was never able to get the tap to pause to work, therefore causing all the current dialogue. So until I can confirm and see that there is a way to pause mobile slideshows, then the original solution is viable. But from what I remember, your original implementation didn't suggest forward and backward advances...which I would still prefer. Other sites show "8 of 16" letting you know there is more and you haven't reached the end. Ours didn't have anything so adding the left/right arrows helped communicate that.
