Run just one cycle

[christophbach]

Is there any way to stop a dynamo after only 1 cycle?

Setting a callback like this didn't work for me:

$('#dynamo-slogan').dynamo({
    ...
    callback: function() {
        $('#dynamo-slogan').dynamo({
            pause: true
        });
    }
});

You can do this by setting pause: true right off the bat, then calling

$('#dynamo-slogan').dynamo_trigger()

as many times as you need. You'll need to create your own timer in order to get the interval right.

Seems like a popular use-case though, so I'll probably work on a "once" option in the near future.

Alright, that did it. Feels a bit ugly, but, yeah, it works.

A "once" option would be cool, maybe a cycle count or something like that.

My delay is 1300, so I did this:

setTimeout(function() {
    dynamoSlogan.dynamo_trigger();
}, 1300);

setTimeout(function() {
    dynamoSlogan.dynamo_trigger();
}, 2600);

setTimeout(function() {
    dynamoSlogan.dynamo_trigger();
}, 3900);

Yeah unfortunately it's a use-case we don't serve, and the code is structured in such a way that it's not trivial to implement.

I'm looking to rewrite most of the code such that you'll be able to access all of the dynamo object's properties, so that you could call something like .pause().

Glad to hear you found a temporary solution, though. Thanks for reporting :)
