Owl Carousel Outer Arrow Navigation

Euan Mackay picture Euan Mackay · Oct 30, 2014 · Viewed 66.7k times · Source

I'm trying to implement the Owl Carousel with Lazyload images for a portfolio site and am having issues with positioning my navigation buttons. Ideally i'd like to add these on the outside of the carousel positioned halfway up the image. I have seen a couple of examples where this is operational but just cannot fathom it out. Can someone please help?

I have added a JSfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/iameuanmackay/448htq9b/

The code i'm using is:

<div class="col-xs-8 col-xs-push-2 col-md-push-3 col-lg-6 col-lg-push-3" style="padding-left:45px">
    <div class="owl-demo">
        <img class="owl-lazy" data-src="http://megmackayphoto.com/Beta/lib/img/full/people_02.jpg" alt="">
        <img class="owl-lazy" data-src="http://megmackayphoto.com/Beta/lib/img/full/people_02.jpg" alt="">
        <img class="owl-lazy" data-src="http://megmackayphoto.com/Beta/lib/img/full/people_03.jpg" alt="">
        <img class="owl-lazy" data-src="http://megmackayphoto.com/Beta/lib/img/full/people_04.jpg" alt="">
        <img class="owl-lazy" data-src="http://megmackayphoto.com/Beta/lib/img/full/people_05.jpg" alt="">
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

#owl-demo .item {
  display: block;
  padding: 30px 0px;
  margin: 5px;
  color: #FFF;
  -webkit-border-radius: 3px;
  -moz-border-radius: 3px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  text-align: center;
}
.owl-theme .owl-controls {
  margin-top: 10px;
  text-align: center;
}
/* Styling Next and Prev buttons */
.owl-theme .owl-controls .owl-buttons div {
  color: #FFF;
  display: inline-block;
  zoom: 1;
  *display: inline;
  /*IE7 life-saver */
  margin: 5px;
  padding: 3px 10px;
  font-size: 12px;
  -webkit-border-radius: 30px;
  -moz-border-radius: 30px;
  border-radius: 30px;
  background: #869791;
  filter: Alpha(Opacity=50);
  /*IE7 fix*/
  opacity: 0.5;
}

And the js is:

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
  $('.owl-demo').owlCarousel({
    items: 1,
    nav: true,
    navigationText: [
        "<i class='icon-chevron-left icon-white'><</i>",
        "<i class='icon-chevron-right icon-white'>></i>"],
    lazyLoad: true,
    loop: true,
    margin: 10
  });
});

Any guidance that can be given on what i'm doing wrong would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
