does anyone know if this is compatible with Bootstrap 4 and ZC 2.0?
I have been using the Fluorspar template for a awhile and am moving to a tweaked version of Bootstrap. But I really miss the Nivo slider effect.
Any other options? My searches have not been very productive.
Apologies for hijacking this thread, but there's a Home-Page Slider available for the Bootstrap template: https://github.com/lat9/bs4_home_sliderQuote:

Keep in mind v3 is completely different and no longer based on Nivo Slider. It's now based on SwiperJS and animate.css so you have different effects, plus you can add text layers over the images.
Demo here.
For admin demo, feel free to PM me.
But, since you're using the Bootstrap template, it might be a good idea to use the slider built specifically for that template (as per lat9's suggestion).
Thanks for updating this plugin balihr for compatibility with Zen v.2!
I have installed it in a fresh version of Zen Cart v.2.1 and it all installed and worked perfectly...I have the old version on my currently Zen Cart v.1.5.8 site.
One question....I have inserted 2 slides into the ZX Slideshow and insured I have configured it to be turned on. As I am using it on my homepage, I have inputted 'home' into my Slide Group on both of the slides and then used the sort order near the bottom to dictate the order of the slide.
When I go to my homepage, all displays correctly, I have 2 dots in the lower center of the slide indicating that there are 2 slides, but as I change back and forth, it only displays the one slide. When I manually advance it to slide 2, it goes to slide 2 but it displays slide 1.
Obviously I have inputted something wrong in the slide config. Can you tell me what I've missed??
Thanks,
Jeff
A link to your site would be very helpful. If you don't want to post it here, feel free to PM me with the link, and we'll continue the discussion here.
Thanks for your reply....I just have it in my local computer right now for upgrade purposes. When I am finished with the update process and put it up on my server under a subfolder....I will PM you with a link.
Thanks again!
One other quick question.....
I was wanting to change the blue colour of the Next & Previous arrows, but it seems that its taking the .css file from a Swiper script and not from the index_home.css
Is there a file within the plugin that I can change this colour?
I also noticed that the size of the slide is noticeably smaller. My slides are created for the old version (I know the plugin resizes them) at 2048px(w) x 650px(h) I would like to enlargen this new plugin slide size if I can....but want to do it so it does not break the coding for mobile. Not the end of the world stuff....but thought I'd ask if its possible.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi balihr,
I have now finished my development site testing on my local computer and have put in my current live site database.
When I open my Admin panel...I have the ZX Slideshow under Admin->Config but under Admin->Tools there is no ZX Slideshow to insert a slide. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin to try to get it work but I have the same problem.
Any ideas as to why this would be and what I can do to fix this? My current live site has the previous Nivo slider version installed as it is v.1.5.8
It is obviously pulling in fragments from older install.
I now have this development site up on a subfolder on my server if this helps you solve anything....here is the address https://www.nitwitcollections.com/new210/
You will see an image in the slide position of a slide I had in my live site....so this confirms that it is retaining info from the previous version.
I would say you've not installed it correctly, most likely the SQL patch failed for some reason.
Console log is showing that ZX_SLIDESHOW_ANIM_SPEED is not defined which is a bit strange... Can you do a screenshot of the admin configuration page to see if all options are there?
Did you uninstall the old ZX Slideshow (Nivo based) before adding the new one, meaning removed the files AND ran the SQL patch to uninstall it?
