Slides JS Slide Show Plugin

[moesoap]

Hi Anne,

I was trying to update the script to the latest version when you checked. It didn't work for me so I have put it back to the way it was when first installed. Can you offer any help why it's not working? It is now as per install instructions.

The answer is the same. I would check your jqueries. I am seeing the jquery library called at least 3 times.

Thanks,

Ok i have removed those other jqueries as suggested and I am left with the easing patch. There are no errors but it still isn't loading the slides?

The jquery library needs to be called once. I would continue to trouble shoot by disabling all other js until you find the conflict.

Finally got it to work with a lot of help from someone else

I had to remove from tpl_home_slider.php

<script type="text/javascript">

    $('#slides').slides({
    preload: true,
    preloadImage: 'includes/templates/yourtemplate/images/loading.gif',
    play: 8000,
    pause: 3000,
    hoverPause: true
    });

    });
    </script>

and add it to html_header.php

like this...

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
    console.log('document ready!');

    $('#slides').slides({
    preload: true,
    preloadImage: 'includes/templates/yourtemplate/images/loading.gif',
    play: 8000,
    pause: 3000,
    hoverPause: true
    });

    });
    </script>

Hopefully this will save someone a lot of time.

This should not be necessary. The key to getting mutiple javascripts/jqueires to play well together in zen cart is to have them loading in the correct order.

Thanks,

Thanks for replying Anne. I couldn't for the life of me get them to play well together so I am happy to settle for this workaround. I just couldn't understand how it worked offline but once online it disappeared. Frustrating to say the least.

Hi Anne

I love your templates and I'm currently trying to modify this plug in so I can show different slide shows on different category pages. I'm almost there but I can't get the images to show. Can you take a look and give me some advice. This is the page I'm trying to get it to work on. It shows the container for the slide show but no images show.

I've copied the home_slider.php, renamed and made the amendments and added the relevant css as this slider will be different dimensions.

My guess is that you are not calling all of the javascripts required for the slider to work on the categories pages.

Thanks for your reply Anne

All the scripts are there. Any other suggestions?

Thanks
