ZX Slideshow support thread

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

Code:

---

<!-- 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...

sure no problem
www.new.southerncomforter.com

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.
