Templates and document types

I have this in a template. I would like the timeout value to be user defined so I have create a property - delay - in the document which uses this template

   <script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function(){
       /* Dots Slider 1 */
       $(function(){
         $('#imageSlider')
         .after('<div id="imageSliderNav">')
         .cycle({
              fx:  'fade',
              speed:  550,
              timeout: 4000, 
              pager:  '#imageSliderNav'
          });
        });
      });
   </script>

I have tried with

timeout: [#delay],

but that just spoils my slideshow. How can I do it?

Hi Paul

This is just from the top of my head...

I think I would install the XSLToJson package and then use it to create a XSLT macro, which can return the value to you in a json object.

1) Install the package and understand how it works
2) Create a XSLT macro, which you insert into a alternative template called something like "sliderSettings".
3) Either make an ajax call to the "sliderSettings" template like http://www.mydomain.com/sliderSettings.aspx or simply just make a script reference to the page
4) Fetch the value from the JSON object

I supose you could perhaps also use Razor to return the JSON for you. Perhaps you can get some inspiration from this blogpost by Sebastiaan Janssen: http://cultiv.nl/blog/2011/7/25/razor-vs-base-to-output-json-in-umbraco/

And finally you could maybe also just use /base to get the JSON - Seb has written about that too: http://cultiv.nl/blog/2010/10/12/using-base-to-create-and-consume-a-json-string/

Hope this helps.

/Jan
