Title: shuffle problem
Post by: jedione on June 02, 2019, 01:57:26 PM

im dealing with an ishu with the shuffle module...

when using the new shuffle, and letter skipping alphabet,,,   it is moving up & down
very undesirable.

so iv just taken the old shuffle module and named it "slotmate"
and add it in new theme so there is no conflict to the new shuffle.
ie: fe.load_module("slotmate");


the old shuffle module is working fine not moving..around like new one


any chance new shuffle can be fixed? in the latest shuffle module :)

iv tried to add vid of it but utube not uploading at the moment..hope this make scene

There isn't an issue with shuffle as it works perfectly fine in my theme as well as a few others. Perhaps an incompatibility with something else in your theme? Today is my last day of work. Will try to get to it after sleep. If i cant figure it out, just send me image files. I can code that theme from scratch in a single night. It was just too much to look at the first time i saw it.

OK to be moor exact this is what it is doing after setting controls in AM

Configure/Controls  Previous Letter  "left"
Configure/Controls  Next Letter "right"

here is the comparison of both modules

new module letter skiping wrong
walks off...

Ahh… I see. Switch from signals to transitions. I think this is because when people would change the index without a signal, hence the transition. Will see if I can add a signal handler and have it ignored in the transition.

Created a signal exception to ignore the slot change. Will test some more, maybe make a few syntax and comments, and push update.
