bxslider How is it possible to make thumbnails like a carousel? - slideshow

Question

I use this slider http://bxslider.com/examples/thumbnail-pager-1.
It works, but I have a lots of elements and thumbnails don't fit on one line and move to the next line. How is it possible to do thumbnails like a carousel?
I'll be very grateful to you for help.
Regards.
My code is here [http://jsfiddle.net/dmeX5/]

Answer 1

There is an open issue for this bxslider's Github. For the moment you can use the code provided here.
The code below produces this.
/*............ slider realizzazioni (BIG) */
var realSlider= $j("#sliderBigReal ul").bxSlider({
speed:1000,
pager:false,
nextText:'',
prevText:'',
infiniteLoop:false,
hideControlOnEnd:true,
onSlideBefore:function($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex){
changeRealThumb(realThumbSlider,newIndex);
}
});
var realThumbSlider=$j("#sliderThumbReal ul").bxSlider({
minSlides: 4,
maxSlides: 4,
slideWidth: 156,
slideMargin: 12,
moveSlides: 1,
pager:false,
speed:1000,
infiniteLoop:false,
hideControlOnEnd:true,
nextText:'<span></span>',
prevText:'<span></span>',
onSlideBefore:function($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex){
/*$j("#sliderThumbReal ul .active").removeClass("active");
$slideElement.addClass("active"); */
}
});
linkRealSliders(realSlider,realThumbSlider);
if($j("#sliderThumbReal li").length<5){
$j("#sliderThumbReal .bx-next").hide();
}
// sincronizza sliders realizzazioni
function linkRealSliders(bigS,thumbS){
$j("#sliderThumbReal ul").on("click","a",function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var newIndex=$j(this).parent().attr("slideIndex");
bigS.goToSlide(newIndex);
});
}
//slider!=$thumbSlider. slider is the realslider
function changeRealThumb(slider,newIndex){
var $thumbS=$j("#sliderThumbReal");
$thumbS.find('.active').removeClass("active");
$thumbS.find('li[slideIndex="'+newIndex+'"]').addClass("active");
if(slider.getSlideCount()-newIndex>=4)slider.goToSlide(newIndex);
else slider.goToSlide(slider.getSlideCount()-4);
}

Answer 2

The answer above is correct, but there was a typo, it had slideIndex when we are using data-slideIndex or data-slide-index on bxslider4.
Here is a jsfiddle with it working perfectly:
http://jsfiddle.net/DcpdT/25/
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
var realSlider= $j("ul#bxslider").bxSlider({
speed:1000,
pager:false,
nextText:'',
prevText:'',
infiniteLoop:false,
hideControlOnEnd:true,
onSlideBefore:function($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex){
changeRealThumb(realThumbSlider,newIndex);
}
});
var realThumbSlider=$j("ul#bxslider-pager").bxSlider({
minSlides: 4,
maxSlides: 4,
slideWidth: 156,
slideMargin: 12,
moveSlides: 1,
pager:false,
speed:1000,
infiniteLoop:false,
hideControlOnEnd:true,
nextText:'<span></span>',
prevText:'<span></span>',
onSlideBefore:function($slideElement, oldIndex, newIndex){
/*$j("#sliderThumbReal ul .active").removeClass("active");
$slideElement.addClass("active"); */
}
});
linkRealSliders(realSlider,realThumbSlider);
if($j("#bxslider-pager li").length<5){
$j("#bxslider-pager .bx-next").hide();
}
// sincronizza sliders realizzazioni
function linkRealSliders(bigS,thumbS){
$j("ul#bxslider-pager").on("click","a",function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var newIndex=$j(this).parent().attr("data-slideIndex");
bigS.goToSlide(newIndex);
});
}
//slider!=$thumbSlider. slider is the realslider
function changeRealThumb(slider,newIndex){
var $thumbS=$j("#bxslider-pager");
$thumbS.find('.active').removeClass("active");
$thumbS.find('li[data-slideIndex="'+newIndex+'"]').addClass("active");
if(slider.getSlideCount()-newIndex>=4)slider.goToSlide(newIndex);
else slider.goToSlide(slider.getSlideCount()-4);
}
