Option autoInit = false seems to have no effect?

In the sourcecode for lazy-load-xt I see this:

    $(document).ready(function () {
        triggerEvent('start', $window);

        $window
            .on(options.loadEvent, initLazyElements)
            .on(options.updateEvent, queueCheckLazyElements)
            .on(options.forceEvent, forceLoadAll);

        $(document).on(options.updateEvent, queueCheckLazyElements);

        if (options.autoInit) {
            initLazyElements(); // standard initialization
        }
    });

So, if options.autoinit equals false, then initLazyElements() will not be called on document.ready():

        if (options.autoInit) {
            initLazyElements(); // standard initialization
        }

BUT it will be called on body.load event:

        $window
            .on(options.loadEvent, initLazyElements)

At this point there is no check if options.autoinit is true or false?

What’s the point of that option if initLazyElement() is still triggered on body.load?

Just had the same issue. It seems like this line:

loadEvent: 'pageshow', // check AJAX-loaded content in jQueryMobile

should have been blank by default

loadEvent: '', // check AJAX-loaded content in jQueryMobile

Seems to work after that.

I can confirm kapajohns solution. In my case I’m using WordPress Sage Theme as a boilerplate and jQuery is in compatibility mode. Therefore my code was:

jQuery.extend(jQuery.lazyLoadXT, { autoInit: false, loadEvent: '' });

As you can see I also had to follow @alonsoysa solution and overwrite the load event for this to work.

This needs to be placed after lazyLoadXT is added to the dom, but before domready is fired. So if you have some sort of domready function, place it just above, for example.
