start function never fires if only one slide in slider about flexslider HOT 3 CLOSED

For performance optimization, the plugin doesn't get into the core if only one slide is present. Among other things, this means the options you are passing are not set.

My suggestion is to create an if statement (wherever it makes the most sense relative to the flexslider() call), and put your start callback logic there. I highly doubt this will change in future versions of FlexSlider as someone with such a specific use-case should be able to handle the logic themselves, keeping unnecessary bulk away from the plugin itself.

yeah it was certainly easy to fix, but i'd be really surprised to hear this is a 'specific' use case. using it in a another site already that is a similar implementation.

regardless, just wanted to make sure it was mentioned. awesome plugin, thanks.

Is it cool to add to a closed issue on Github?

I might be a good idea to allow the code to initialize if there is only one slide. Perhaps an optional parameter.

Use case is when loading content via AJAX and I want the new content to be appended to the slides (or inserted somewhere in the list) and then slide it into view. I will be using addSlide() to add the new slide/content.

The problem is that I start out with only one slide and then I can't use addSlide() for the second (and third, and fourth) slides since the initialization never happened.

I'm going to hack in a temporary slide that is empty and then remove it -- or possibly use it for the second piece of content. So just something to consider the future?
