ZX Slideshow support thread

[graeme john]

I'm not entirely sure whether this will be of any use to anyone but this adjustment makes the slideshow appear only on the home page and fixes the true/false status

<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
    <?php if (ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true' && $this_is_home_page) {
    require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); 
     } ?>
    <!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->

Great addon I love it
But I do have a problem, I can get the zx_slider to work no problem.
I am using the Abbington_mega template with the tabbed home page module installed
It seems that if I get the slideshow working the home page tabs quit working, If I reinstall the homepage tabs module the slideshow quits working
Do you have any ideas what may be causing this? I really would like to get them to play nice together
Thanks

Can you provide a link to your site? It's almost impossible to help without seeing the actual site...

I got it, finally
I had to merge the code into the tpl_index_default file, like it said in the readme (sorry)
But it is working now and it looks great
Thanks for the contribution

I am having trouble getting this to work on my website (http://www.toolsforchrist.com/shop). I believe I followed all the steps perfectly but I am not getting ZX Slideshow to show up on the site or admin page. Any ideas?

Thanks

If it's not showing in the admin, then there are 2 options:
1. you didn't run the SQL patch
2. you ran the SQL patch for Zen Cart 1.3.x instead of 1.5.0

I made sure to run the correct patch and after hitting the send button I did not get any error messages. It appeared to work correctly. I tried doing it again and I get a page that says "The website cannot display the page".

I got it to show up on the admin page by manually placing all the files in their correct folders. But I am still not able to get the slideshow to show up on the main page.

I've upgraded from ZenCart 1.3.9 to ZenCart 1.5. I tried installing ZX Slideshow but when I try to install the sql file I get and error message "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. As I understand this is a generic message than means my database is not communicating with my admin. Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.
