[directpc]

Hello All,

Im just adding the slideshow to my site now, and wish to add links from each of the images, to another URL.

So the first image shows and I want customers to be able click on the image, which takes them to a new URL.

Can somebody please advise what I need to add here please

No probs thought you'd be ok as it doesn't alter any of the zen core files.

I have submitted an update to this mod with the actual v2.4 fade-in slideshow. It includes some modifications to allow multiple languages for image descriptions, and control over which page(s) the slideshow appears on, all without touching any existing ZC files except for the necessary empty div to be added in the display location.

Hi All,

I downloaded Ultimate Fade In slideshow......but it is not working at all for me in Zencart 1.5. I'm new here, and hoping someone can help. I'm also using IE9. I followed the install instructions exactly, yet no joy. Any help greatly appreciated. I have 2 images that are uploaded in the correct images folder and put those into the text below. I'm really looking to have images fade in the center of my home page, and not so much in the header.


jscript_fade.js file


ar fadeimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed
fadeimages[0]=["images/imageone.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[1]=["images/imagetwo.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[2]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[3]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[4]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[5]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
var fadebgcolor="black"


I uploaded the tpl_header.php (below) to my folder........ includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common



<script type="text/javascript" src="fade.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, 600, 340, 0, 3000, 0 )
</script>




Thanks

I was able to get it to work. I believe I had a corrupt .js file. I have 3 images and the first two display fine, but the 3rd only shows a box with a red X. I double checked the file name and all is fine there. Any advice? Also how can you center on your page off the "define_main_page"?

Thanks

Learning as we go here......I found out the reason my other images weren't displaying is because the images in the .js file are case senstive to the actual file name.

Thanks

jagall - Yes, the update is awaiting approval.

The updated version may be easier to display in the define_main_page area, since all you have to do is insert something like
<div id="my_fadeshow_name"></div>
in the define page file.
All of the javascript files will be autoloaded by Zen Cart when you install the mod.

The case sensitive script is a good example of why it is recommended to always use lowercase for filenames - it avoids errors like that.
