All I can do for you is to look at my magic crystal ball and see what's causing the problem. Unfortunately, it's out for repairs... That means I'll need a link to your site to be able to help...

This is great add-on and thanks for making it available.

I'm having some troubles with the slideshow resizing my images just enough to blur them a bit through the aspect ratio change. How can I ensure this doesn't happen? Is there a specific dimension i should be using for my images? Should I specifying the dimensions of the slideshow somewhere?

thanks in advance for help

Glad to hear you like the module!

If you're using v.2x, you should know it's responsive. It means that it will automatically adapt it's width to the parent container dimensions. Height is always adapted automatically after width. If you upload images that are smaller than your container, it will get stretched to fill the container. It would be best to determine the EXACT width of your container to see what dimensions are expected and adjust your banners to those dimensions. Alternatively, you can edit your css file and set a fixed width on the parent container (which would obviously be smaller than it is right now) so that the slider doesn't go larger than your images.

I hope this makes sense, it's past 2am here and I'm chasing my pixels all over the screen... Old, but epic: bit.ly/15P8gU2

I've an older version of zencart: 1.3.5 many files modified by me; db path to 1.3.9
I've install, unistall and re-install both 1.3 and 1.5 sql files, but I can't found the banner box dimension into zencart admin configuration. How can I modify the banner box dimension? Thank you
p.s.: with I.e. 10 banner don't work, because it isn't clickable.

First of all, there's no need to install both 1.3.x and 1.5.x sql files because it's the same thing, except for the Admin Pages registration for 1.5.x

Second, your question about dimensions was answered only 2 posts back with an explanation. And quite a few times before that in this thread... Anyway, there's no control over the dimension from the admin, that was only available in the first release.

Actually, this seems to be a bug with ZX v2.1. Nivo uses the 'Title' attribute to generate a caption, but the ZX_banner.php function assigns the banner title only to the ALT tag of the image.

Add this to the relevant lines (68,71,73):

title="'. $banner->fields['banners_title']

www.ew-trading.com I am trying to get this running also have nothing other than title on zen dash, have installed twice, followed what I think is correct instruction, tried patches twice, install, uninstall, install etc for 1.3, using 1.3.9, looked in my PHP but not sure in there, typed in ZX in all boxes on those 2 tables and nothing. Why isn't it working? No other jquery bits in there, added all manually to each folder, double checked it all. Help anyone?
