Equal Height Owl Carousel
—
### **CSS Solution (Simple Approach)**
If the items have static content or similar dimensions, you can apply a fixed height or use `flexbox` to align them.
.owl-item {
display: flex;
align-items: stretch; /* Ensure items stretch to the same height */
}
.owl-item .item {
flex: 1; /* Allow items to take full height */
display: flex; /* Use flexbox inside item */
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center; /* Adjust content alignment */
}This works well when your content doesn’t vary significantly in height.
—
### **JavaScript Solution (Dynamic Height Adjustment)**
If the content within the carousel items varies in height, you can calculate the tallest item and apply that height to all items dynamically.
function setEqualHeight() {
var maxHeight = 0;
// Find the tallest item
$('.owl-item').each(function () {
var thisHeight = $(this).height();
if (thisHeight > maxHeight) {
maxHeight = thisHeight;
}
});
// Set all items to the tallest height
$('.owl-item').height(maxHeight);
}
// Initialize Owl Carousel
$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
// Your owl carousel settings here
onInitialized: setEqualHeight, // Adjust height on initialization
onResized: setEqualHeight, // Recalculate height on window resize
});—
### **Combination of Both**
You can combine the CSS and JavaScript solutions for better responsiveness and adaptability. Use CSS to handle general cases and JavaScript to ensure proper alignment when content varies.
—
### **Key Considerations**
1. **Window Resize:** Ensure you recalculate heights on window resize for responsiveness.
2. **Content Updates:** If the content inside the carousel changes dynamically (e.g., AJAX), reapply the height adjustment after the change.
3. **Padding/Margins:** If your items have padding or margins, include those in the height calculation (use `.outerHeight(true)` in jQuery for this).
This approach ensures a visually consistent carousel layout regardless of content height.

### **CSS Solution (Set Minimum Height)**
If you want all items to have at least a minimum height of 254px:
.owl-item .item {
min-height: 254px; /* Set minimum height */
display: flex; /* To align content */
justify-content: center; /* Adjust horizontal alignment */
align-items: center; /* Adjust vertical alignment */
box-sizing: border-box; /* Include padding/borders in height calculation */
}This ensures that each item in the carousel has a minimum height of 254px. If the content height exceeds 254px, it will naturally expand.
—
### **JavaScript Solution (Ensure Consistent Minimum Height Dynamically)**
If the content in your items changes dynamically, you can enforce a minimum height of **254px** while ensuring all items match the tallest one:
function setMinimumHeight() {
var minHeight = 254;
var maxHeight = minHeight;
// Find the tallest item, but no shorter than minHeight
$('.owl-item .item').each(function () {
var thisHeight = $(this).height();
if (thisHeight > maxHeight) {
maxHeight = thisHeight;
}
});
// Apply the tallest height (or minHeight) to all items
$('.owl-item .item').css('height', maxHeight + 'px');
}
// Initialize Owl Carousel
$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
// Your Owl Carousel settings here
onInitialized: setMinimumHeight, // Adjust height on initialization
onResized: setMinimumHeight, // Recalculate height on window resize
});—
### **Combining Both Approaches**
1. Use CSS for the **minimum height**:
.owl-item .item {
min-height: 254px;
}2. Use JavaScript to dynamically adjust height beyond the minimum:
setMinimumHeight(); // Call the function on initialization and events—
### **Responsive Carousel with Minimum Height**
For responsive layouts, you can use CSS media queries to adjust the minimum height based on screen size:
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.owl-item .item {
min-height: 200px; /* Adjust for smaller screens */
}
}This approach ensures your Owl Carousel maintains a consistent appearance with a minimum height of 254px across all items.
// Ensure the carousel is initialized
const owl = $('#index-110280');
if (owl.length) {
// alert(owl.length);
$('.customPrev-owl').click(function () {
owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel');
toggleActiveButton(this);
});
$('.customNext-owl').click(function () {
owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel');
toggleActiveButton(this);
});
function toggleActiveButton(currentButton) {
// Remove "active" from all buttons
$('.customPrev-owl, .customNext-owl').removeClass('active');
// Add "active" to the clicked button
$(currentButton).addClass('active');
}
} else {
console.warn('Owl Carousel instance not found');
}
});

### **Updated Code**
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
// Ensure the carousel is initialized
const owl = $('#index-110280');
if (owl.length) {
// Adjust item heights
function setMinimumHeight() {
const minHeight = 254; // Minimum height in pixels
let maxHeight = minHeight;
// Find the tallest item, ensuring at least the minimum height
owl.find('.owl-item .item').each(function () {
const thisHeight = $(this).outerHeight();
if (thisHeight > maxHeight) {
maxHeight = thisHeight;
}
});
// Apply the height to all items
owl.find('.owl-item .item').css('height', maxHeight + 'px');
}
// Call the function on initialization and resizing
owl.on('initialized.owl.carousel resized.owl.carousel', setMinimumHeight);
// Initialize Owl Carousel (add your desired settings)
owl.owlCarousel({
items: 1, // Example setting, customize based on your needs
loop: true,
autoplay: true,
nav: false,
});
// Navigation buttons
$('.customPrev-owl').click(function () {
owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel');
toggleActiveButton(this);
});
$('.customNext-owl').click(function () {
owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel');
toggleActiveButton(this);
});
function toggleActiveButton(currentButton) {
// Remove "active" from all buttons
$('.customPrev-owl, .customNext-owl').removeClass('active');
// Add "active" to the clicked button
$(currentButton).addClass('active');
}
} else {
console.warn('Owl Carousel instance not found');
}
});—
### **Explanation**
1. **Height Adjustment Function:**
– `setMinimumHeight()` dynamically calculates the tallest item in the carousel but ensures that no item's height is less than 254px.
2. **Event Listeners:**
– The height adjustment function is triggered on `initialized.owl.carousel` and `resized.owl.carousel` to ensure the items are consistently adjusted after initialization and when the browser window is resized.
3. **Integration with Carousel:**
– The function is defined before initializing the carousel and added to its events.
4. **CSS Backup:**
– To ensure a minimum height even before JavaScript runs (e.g., before the DOM is ready):
#index-110280 .owl-item .item {
min-height: 254px;
}—
### **Result**
This ensures that the Owl Carousel items:
– Have a minimum height of 254px.
– Are dynamically resized to match the tallest item's height if it exceeds the minimum.
– Stay responsive and consistent across different screen sizes.
