ZX Slideshow support thread

I tested that SQL patch on my test install and it worked just fine. I'm not sure why it's not working for you. And, it's supposed to be ran from admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches only, it won't work from phpmyadmin. You'll have to manually delete it as I described above using phpmyadmin.

Thanks, I removed with the phpmyadmin browse. I reuploaded the files when I was trying to remove the config settings. I'm going to try again. I'm let you know after I get it configured and see if it works this time.

I tried the slide show again and It won't work on my site. I configured: using wide banner3 position three, I assigned image side1.jpg, slide2.jpg and slide3.jpg, I also tried different Effects and none worked.

That's because you have categories showing on your main page set to true. Take a look at the code attached and upload it to your includes/templates/bookshelf/templates/tpl_index_categories.php. Since I believe your file might be customized, make sure to merge it (my file is commented, 6 new lines at the beginning). It should work after that.

Code:

Yes I'm using ver 139h, I have tried all different effects and none work, I have tried it with the categories on home page off, still didn't work. nothing I do seens to work.

Weezee, I gave you the code for tpl_index_categories.php which should do the trick.

No that didn't work either. My template didn't have tpl_index_categories.php, it is in the template_default, so I added your tpl_index_categories.php to my template and it still didn't work with or without the categories set to true or off. I also added the tpl_index_categories.php from the template_default, it didn't work, Must be something else, Thanks any way for your help.

Well, then, I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can do for you without seeing your site's code. Sorry. My guess is there was some other type of customization done and it's preventing the slideshow files to load...
