Carousel stays when clicking on thumbnail

[b-summers]

I have read the post on making the Carousel always show: [url]thumbnails-always-displayed-462.html[/url]
Which I will end up doing if I cannot get the functionality that I want...

However, I still want the carousel to open and close, but I don't want it to close when you click on a thumbnail. Currently it opens/closes when you click the "Featured Content" button, which is fine, but it also closes once you click a thumbnail, I would like to turn this feature off.

Also if it's at all possible, is there a way to make the carousel open on page load by default, instead of closed?

Thanks.

open file scripts/jd.gallery.js.php
find two lines

Code: Select all

if (this.options.thumbCloseCarousel)
this.hideCarousel();

and comment them out like this

Code: Select all

//if (this.options.thumbCloseCarousel)
//this.hideCarousel();
