For the slider effects, is there a way to completely randomize the effects show, so it's different everytime? Closest one I see is randombox but that isn't everything.
Also I'm having an issue, the pause time is working for the transition from slide 1 to 2, but then it's not pausing for the same amount of time and quickly going from slide 2 to 3 etc. Anyway to make this consistent?

The effects are literally original from Nivo slider (since the module is based on it) so, whatever Nivo offers in matter of effects, that's what we have here. If you select "random", the script will randomly select one of the available effects. Now, random means it could be something like 1-5-4-7-3-2-6 or it can be 1-5-1-4-2-1... I hope it makes sense...Quote:

So, if you have transition time set to 850 ms and pause time set to 4 seconds, the first slide will show for 4 seconds. Then, the second slide will show up and will "load" for 850 ms, but pause time will start immediately meaning the second slide will show for 4-0.85 = 3.15 seconds...
Hi balihr, I've got the same problem as posts of #126 and #431. But I'm using 1.5.1zencart.Quote:

Thanks so much!!
You're in the right place to run the query. But first, you need to find out which configuration_group_id you're going to use (assuming THAT part of the SQL statement did execute). Go to Structure tab and click configuration_group table to browse it. The entry will probably be on the last page. Find "ZX Slideshow" under "configuration_group_title" and see what ID was assigned. For example, let's say it's 52. NOTE: this is NOT your value, it's just an example I'm using here.Quote:

Have fun!
OK! I got it to work BUT... Serious problem...
It threw up a grid of my categories, and what it used were the category images. Mind you, not the sub-categories, but the category main level.
I did a View Source and found the code as such below, and I notice it's saying it's "Display grid of available sub-categories"... What it shows is all the sub categories images in a 3 per row layout, but the images are designed to be like a sub-header, across almost the whole width of the center column, so they're bunched up and running off the edge of the body.
I've figured as much that the culprit is in the tpl_index_categories.php file, but I didn't know what it would do if I commented it out, so balihr I'll wait for you to get back from vacation before attempting this again.
Other than that problem, the few images I put in there were good, they faded between each other so I'm assuming the rest of it is working as it's supposed to. I would experiment further but this is an active site and I don't want to get any complaint calls right now...
Please advise...
I've disconnected it for now and ran the uninstall patch; right now all the files are in place except the tpl_index_categories.php file, and I can easily install it again, install the SQL patch and try it again later...
Edit: I should mention, site is rossales.com, and you'll notice, I only run one side column, on the right, and at the top of that column is the list of categories. This is why I wanted to ask about commenting out the section in the php file before actually trying it...
Here's the section of the source code I mentioned:

Well, probably a matter of hard coding some template files... I can't say for sure without seeing how the site was built, sorry.Quote:

As an alternative, you might wanna try merging tpl_index_categories.php from your template and the one from the module. Basically, just take the ZX Slideshow code and insert it into your file.
Thanks Balihr for your help! The problem solved. I've sucessfully installed the sql. It is very great module :)
There is only one problem I think.
I've filled in the url but no reaction when I clicked the banner.
I've removed the slide group and create again. But it still doesn't work.
Here is my website: http://www.laughmoreshop.com.
How to add the hyperlink on the banner images? Thanks again!
I've just tried chrome and mobile phone. The hyperlink function is workable. But I cannot do it in IE! T_T
I guess you forgot to add http to your links, that's usually what people do wrong...Quote:

I haven't tested it, but hope it helps...Code:/* If an image is wrapped in a link */
.nivoSlider a.nivo-imageLink {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width:100%;

padding:0;
margin:0;
z-index:6;
display:none;
background:white;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
opacity: 0;
}
After replacing the code, the hyperlink is workable now.Thank you very much, Balihr!:laugh:
