Hi looking forward to trying this mod just wondering whether it works on 1.5 though, have installed but nothing happening in the admin end?Quote:

I just saw your post and tried it at 1.5 version and i see that the only that is not working is the display of "Slideshow" in admin->tools menu.
You can still access it by typing youradmin/slideshow.php
Then from there i think that everything works as in previous versions of ZC.
If you insert an image it will display on your shop's frontpage.
I added the neccessary files to make it compatible with 1.5 version of Zen Cart.
I uploaded it at the addons section and it is waiting approval.
Cheers for that sport_billy, I tried the direct url and it comes up so uploaded images but they are not appearing on the site for some reason, just the text slide image?
Maybe your pictures are way too larger than the dimensions of the slideshow.
Try a picture around 450 x 300 pixels or change the dimensions through the css file to fit your needs.
hi sorry got it working, the images do seem to upload for me so when I do it manually it works
sport_billy thank you for this add-on. I installed it and have it working. I have two questions though.
1)Everything works great when I add an image but when I want to delete one of the slides I get an error message:
"1054 Unknown column 'slideshow.image' in 'where clause'
in:
[DELETE FROM zen_slideshow WHERE slideshow.image='PICT00022.jpg']
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields."
2)Is there a way to adjust the slide speed?
Thanks again, this add-on was very helpful!
Just for sake of good order:
The download link for this mod is here
Take care when installing this mod.
The file SITE/includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php needs to be merged with an existing file define_main_page.php
Then in the same file define_main_page.php on/around line 13 the template name is hard coded:
Suggest you update your installation instructions and possibly look at replacing the hard coded template name.Code:<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/pure_black/jscript/jscript_easySlider.js"></script>
Thank you very much for mentioning this!Quote:

So it is safe to remove it.
The jscript_easySlider.js is automatic loaded in the <head> section, so it is not needed to be in this file too.
I will publish an update as soon as possible.
Hey i am happy that you find it useful :smile:Quote:

I will update this to the next version i will upload.Code:$slideshow_query = "DELETE FROM " . TABLE_SLIDESHOW. " WHERE " . TABLE_SLIDESHOW. ".image='$slide_remove'";
Thank you.
In order to adjust slide speed open templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_easySlider.js and edit line 52.Quote:

I have submitted an updated version of the module with fixed the bugs you mentioned and added the options to adjust speed and other slideshow settings at the define_main_page.php
I hope it is ready for download soon.
The updated version is available to download from here
Much appreciated - thank you.Quote:

I have installed this MOD "out of the box" and renamed the files to represent my template and admin etc, also updated the database.
I created 3 entries (picture width 176px, height 250px) but they do not SLIDE, they apear underneath one another.
What have I done wrong?
Picture included
How can I get it to display as a slideshow?
Goshawk
Something is conflicting with JQuery.
First of all make sure you have renamed SITE/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE with your specific template name.
Then do you have any other jquery script loaded?
If you want
If you want send me a pm to your shop's page to see what other scripts are loaded.
I have "CSS Horizontal Dropdown Menu With jquery" running too.
Good point had not thought of this.
I can't send you a url, as I have the site running on xampp.
Any way of overcomming this problem?
I really need a slideshow running on my home page and have been looking for a suitable script.
Goshawk
Try to remove this other JQuery script first to make sure that this is causing the problem.
Thanx for the module.
Can you please help me removing space between slideshow and the free shipping banner i have on my site.
http://itdealshub.com/
I tried to edit define_main_page.php but cant find the thing to edit.
I dont like the space between slideshow and banner kindly suggest a fix.
Thanx
Installed on my current rebuild (starting from scratch instead of updating), works great!
Would it be possible to integrate a play/pause button?
Maybe something like THIS.
Thanks
Open your stylesheet.css file and find #columnCenter (should be line 86), and add some padding to the top.Quote:

Try this:

Currently testing on my local site, so no link.
Using ZC 1.39
Is it possible to move the red button thingy, or even remove it completely? I'd like to have it in the lower left corner of the images I'm using.
The position of the red stamp like image that shows up under the price (if you have that active...) is controlled by the price class in the css near the top of the define_main_page.Quote:

left: 0;
}
Serious-
if you were talking about the "numbers" indicating what slide is currently displayed those are positioned using the control_div id (#control_id) in the same css.
Change the left to 0 instead of 400 and it moves to the left side.
A great way to "play" with is to use chrome, right click on page, select "inspect element" and you can see a little of whats going on, as well as the css... its great for changing things without actually changing them.
Sorry It Dint Worked, I tried different paddings but it affects only left right padding no changes to the white space below slideshow. So i changed back to original settings.Quote:

Hi I have a small issue with getting this slideshow to work on my site. I have zen cart 1.3.8 and just applied apparel boutique only last night onto my site. It is looking good but I am very much a novice (as my Uncle actually built the site and I have previously only maintained it) and I think where my problem is, I deleted the script on in my admin section - define pages editor/main page
I have copy pasted the code for the slideshow which is in the read me files but I think i am missing some information.
I have already done the slides up and loaded them in the appropriate place on the cpanel - if I can add the correct text to the define pages editor I think it should work...
Is anyone able to help me out with that??
many thanks
ZC 1.39Trying to uninstall this mod 9Local copy) and have run into a problem.
I followed the instructions and removed the files first then ran the uninstall.sql. Got a "Failed" message after running the uninstall.sql from the admin area.
Slideshow still shows up on the Admin/Tools pulldown as well.
I'd like to figure this out before attempting to remove it from my live site.
Help please.
I have this working great i only have one question, i would like to always have a certain image when the slide restarts or going to the home page, I tried to upload that image first but that didn't seem to work. Is there a way to achieve this ?
Thank you
anyone?Quote:

My Question
how do I change the code so that slideshow takes its pictures by default from my images/large directory where I have my large product-images stored,
instead of includes/templates/my_template/images/slideshow/

Hello,
I'm interested in seeing this slideshow in person. If you have it installed on your site, can you please provide a link?
Much appreciated :)
I will be uploading my site tonight and will post a link later tonight or tomorrow.
Slideshow is running at dev.mysurplus.ca
That looks very good! Thanks for sharing. :)
Sorry, slideshow has moved to www.mysurplus.ca
Hi I am running this slide show and very good it is but I have one problem, on my front page it has moved all the prices up to the centre of the picture, my site is www.reevesofbath.co.uk I am running a new install of Zencart ver 1.5. I would be greatfull of any help please, thanks Dave:oops:
I have it running at www.mysurplus.ca and looks to me that first of all your images are all different sizes, the size of you slideshow display box should correspond to the size of your images, and you need to do some css adjusting to get the price and numbers of the images in the right place.
Hello,
So I have decided to go ahead and install this "Frontpage Slideshow", however I have never done a add-on install and the install instructions do not make much sense to me. So, at this point I am not confident enough to do the install until I can get a clearer picture on how to do the install.
Can someone please provide a further explanation to the given instructions listed below.
1. Rename ADMIN to your admin's folder name
Okay this step makes sense to me
2. Rename YOUR_TEMPLATE to your template's folder name
Okay this step makes sense to me
3. Copy all folders and files from ADMIN and SITE to your website
Where do I copy them to? What directory?
4. Copy contents of file 'slideshow.sql' and run through admin->tools->Install SQL Patches
Where do I copy them to? What directory?
5. Go to admin->tools->slideshow and add/edit/delete your slides
Okay this step makes sense to me
Your help is appreciated.
You need to ftp these files to your site ..use filezilaQuote:

Hey everyone, this is my slidshow www.gelcandlecompany.com and I like it very much.
Is it me or is not possible to have each image be a link to a url?
If so how can this be done?
Thanks!
I have this mod up and running HERE, thank you for this! I do have two questions though.
1) can the slides be reordered without having to delete and re-insert?
2) can each slide link to a unique URL?
Thanks again for this mod it really puts the finishing touches on the site.

Your site looks very nice. How did you adjust the image size to be so large? I tried increasing my image size like yours and the image was cropped. Here is my site: www.gelcandlecompany.com
Thanks!
Thank you for the URL info, it was right in front of my face! :DQuote:

look for the section with this text "/*define width and height of list item (slide) entire slider area will adjust according to the parameters provided here */". Just below this is where you can adjust the width and height. Make sure that you create your images to the same size that you define here. Hope that helps.
I am have installed the mod and I am using 1.3.9 , and I am having the same problem as Goshawk in the sense that all my images are lined up one ontop of another and are still with obvioulsy no animation? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Quote:

I have 3 questions guys:
1) If you look at my slideshow at www.circlebooks.nl, you can see that the images are somehow pre loading, so you see them first in a row desplayed. Just for a second, and then it's normal in the slideshow. I don't see this hapening on other sites in this topic. Can someone help me out?
2) My website is in two languages so i would like to have two different slideshows because of images in different languages.. Can this be done?
3) How can i make the images non linking?
I tried that but have just found all prices from my site disappeared.Quote:

Hi there, I'm having the same problem as the others- with the images stacking on top of each other. I don't think I'm running any conflicting js, but??? I'm on the 1.5,I've check for javascript files in the front end of the store thru the developers tool kit and only have these two:
includes/general.js
includes/menu.js
here is my test site if you wanna look at it, see what up or what it looks like.... sounds like you maybe can see real easy where my error is by checking it out.
www.surfcloseouts.com
thanks!
I have a problem with none of the slides being displayed, I followed the instructions and couldn't find anything related to set up the slide in define main page or things like that so I assume it gets inserted by a script, for some reason the slideshow is not show showing, I just did a single image to test the looks, but nothing is shown, where do I have to look to fix this? I double checked all the paths and everything looks fine except the slide is not displayed ...
Found the problem myself there was a missing language file, that adds the content to the custom define_main_page, but I still have a problem, I modified the css and even if I changed the width the slider is truncated, I mean these lines >>> #slider li, #slider2 li{/*define width and height of list item (slide) entire slider area will adjust according to the parameters provided here */width:864px;height:340px;overflow:hidden;}
They suppose to define the width but they are not working
I have the same problem mentioned before by other members, that is the jquery script seems not to work properly, as the images are stacked on top of each other.
I am not very familiar with jquery, but there are several libraries under /libs if you want to check what it looks like just click the link below to my store.
I have this installed on 1.39h and it works great.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the navigation numerical images?
Not sure what to remove, I assume from the stylesheet_slider.css ?
Thanks
I had this plugin working great for months on 1.5.0.
But my finger got excited, and I erased some of the mainpage sourcecode somehow.
:(
So it was then corrupt-looking on website.
So I am trying to uninstall & re-install.
Uninstall only states "fail"
Install won't allow ... because slideshow table is still in the DB (because uninstall will not remove it)
Help please, lol.
Can someone give me the mainpage slideshow sourcecode, so I can cure it?
Thanks.
Or a SQL patch that can properly uninstall?
Or an install SQL patch that doesn't ask if the table is there or not, and just forces it there?
Nevermind, I got it back.
whew.
Probably never gave the admin interface enough time the 1st time around.
Time to make a backup. LOL.
I tried to change the size of the slider image to 860 x 320. The height got changed but the width didn't Attachment 11638
But I want to apply slider image just like on this hope template Attachment 11639
thanks in advance
Hi,
I altered my numerical images by turning the colour to match the background, quick and easy see www.brighter-smile.co.uk i just edited the /brighter-smile.co.uk/includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php
#control_div{width:200px;height:18px;position:relative;left:200px;top:-50px;}
ol#controls{margin:1em 0;padding:0;height:00px;}
ol#controls li{margin:0 10px 0 0;padding:0;float:left;list-style:none;height:10px;line-height:10px;}
ol#controls li a{float:left;height:00px;line-height:0px;border:0px solid #ccc;background:#bcc0b1;color:#000;padding:0 10px;text-decoration:none;}
ol#controls li.current a{background:#7d0b0b;color:#ccc;}
ol#controls li a:focus, #prevBtn a:focus, #nextBtn a:focus{outline:none;}
</style>
I am pretty new to this but can get by and no doubt someone will have a better way of removing them altogether, I just wanted to update mine. I just used firebug in firefox to locate and try the changes and then committed when I was happy.hope it helps
Rather than put the styling inline in define_main_page.php, the style rules should go in your stylesheet (/includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css).
Someone asked this a while back...Is there a way to sort the slides without deleting all of them?
When you want to have the first one for promotion and change it often, it's not easy.
I have numbered them 1-10, but number 10 for example is in position 8.
Any idea how the sorting is...sorted?
Edit...it may be just taking the spot of the first available slot I think, but if someone can clarify about being able to sort anyway thanks.
Can anyone tell me how to change a slide show? I have no idea where to start...:frusty:
If by change you mean, 'add' a slide, go to Tools/Slideshow in admin.Quote:

Yes, I want to take out a slide and replace it with another. The only problem is I don't have a SLIDESHOW option on my TOOLS drop down box...I actually looked there because that is where the banners are. PS...thanks SO much for help! mcpisik.
Does that mean you've had this module installed and working before (because you need to change one), but now don't have it installed correctly?Quote:

Perhaps look at whether it was installed correctly.
Hello its there a way to display the slideshow on every page, I mean on categories pages, product information etc.
And another thing its possible to place the slideshow at all width of my template?
Thanks in advance.
Great plugin thanks! I have installed and works great. However, I wanted to change the location and moved the code from 'define_main_page.php' to inside the navMainWrapper div in tpl_header.php. The slide show works but I have managed to break the admin. I am sure there is just a broken page reference or something. Is there an easier way to change the location of the slide show output?
Hello everybody!
I have updated the slideshow and submitted it to the plugins section. It is currently awaiting for approval and i believe that in the next days it will be available.
It is more flexible and easily configurable with a responsive design so you do not have to edit any code.
I have moved the code from 'define_main_page.php' to 'tpl_index_default' so it does not break in case you want to edit the contents of the file via the define pages menu.
Release Notes:
Redesigned the whole slideshow, it now has responsive design among the other changes.
Added new slideshow library - Flexslider by WooThemes.
Added configuration options via admin panel such as speed, caption and more.
Updated to latest jQuery version ( 1.9.1 )
As the previous version, it is compatible with Zen Cart versions 1.3 and 1.5
You will find detailed installation instructions inside the package and also upgrade instructions in case you are having a previous version of the plugin installed.
Hello again. The update is available to download through the official page here
If you find any problems report them here.
Thank you!
Hi
I have installed this mod but can't get it to work. It doesn't display on my page.
In the tpl_index_default.php I noticed it references a file that does not exist, see below:
There is no file called zx_slideshow.php in the download. If I try and change this from zx_slideshow.php to frontpage_slideshow.php it then shows an error.Code:<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->
I am using a new install of zencart v1.5.1
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi sportbilly,
I've just tried to update to the new one posted, but nothing is showing on front page.
The old one was working. Have done the uninstall of old, with sql files supplied.
It appears to be working in admin under both Configuration and Tools menus and upload of image states it worked.
Have chosen an image of just 200 wide for testing and have the module enabled in config.
Anyone else tried upgrading?
(edit: have just seen someone else has posted with trouble, will keep updated if I find a fix)
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/abc/public_html/abc.co.nz/admin/frontpage_slideshow.php:47) in /home/abc/public_html/abc.co.nz/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 21
I've looked on line 47, but not sure if something is incorrect.
Info I've searched suggests this error can be related to echo statements.PHP Code:echo '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1" align="center">' . "\n";
(http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...s-already-sent)
But I don't know the fix
(no extra space at start or end)
Hi, it seems i accidentally included a wrong 'tpl_index_default.php' file from another slideshow plugin.
To make it work, please open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php
And at line 18 change from
to this:Code:<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->
I will post an update to the plugins section asap.Code:<!-- begin edit for Frontpage Slideshow -->
<?php
if (FRONTPAGE_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('frontpage_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/frontpage_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php }?>
<!-- end edit for Frontpage Slideshow -->
Hi
I had already tried that but I get this message: WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. Also the text added to define page editor is not showing.
Thanks
Then something went wrong during the installation. If you already had a previous version make sure you followed all the instructions.
To find out the error please open your /logs folder and open the last .log file created to see any errors from there.
Hi
I figured it out by the log file. In the file includes/extra_datafiles/slideshow.php I had to change this:
to this:Code:define('TABLE_SLIDESHOW', DB_PREFIX . 'Frontpage_slideshow');
Note: the 'f' in frontpage should be lower case not upper caseCode:define('TABLE_SLIDESHOW', DB_PREFIX . 'frontpage_slideshow');
Thanks
Hi, i can not reproduce this error. There is no trailing space or open <?php tags, and in my admin i see no errors on a fresh install of ZC 1.5. Does it work if you ignore the error? Can you upload images?Quote:

It appears my links for the slide aren't working either.
And now I've had time to add extra slides, it only shows the border outline with no slide image.
If I reduce it to one slide only (like a static image) then it displays.
Yes you are correct about the links. In the version i uploaded i forgot to add the option to the configuration at the admin panel. It should be controlled from there.
I will add it to the next update i will submit soon.
Regarding the other issue, i am adding more than 5 images and they are displaying fine. What type of image are you uploading and what size?
If you or anyone else wants to add the functionality of enabling the linking of images you can run this SQL from your admin->tools->install SQL patches
Code:SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT @configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Frontpage Slideshow'
LIMIT 1;
(NULL, 'Linkable Images', 'FRONTPAGE_SLIDESHOW_LINKSLIDES', 'false', 'Make the images point to the link provided from the Tools menu', @configuration_group_id, 12, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');
Just jpg of 50kb or so. Width is 672
I've tried 300 wide, but website scales it to 672
I have just fixed the bugs you mentioned and some CSS issues.
I submitted the updated version but i do not know how long it will take for a mod to approve it, so if you wish you can download it from my site here and tell me if there are any other problems.
Hello please be gentle as I am new to the forum but I have been searching for a solution to my problem without success and hope someone here can help I am using version 1.39h due to server limitations and I have installed frontpage slideshow version 2.0.2 all seems to be working except the fact that under Admin->tools nothing shows, so no Frontpage Slideshow so I can't add any images?
Just to clarify Frontpage Slideshow does appear under Admin->configuration
Navigate to this url in your admin panel and see if the page comes up:Replace 'admin' with your admin folder name.Code:admin/frontpage_slideshow.php
Yes it opens the page fine however if I try to add a slide it says it is successful but on my site I see the caption but no image appears
If the images are not displaying at all, it is due to your server's permisions.
You have to make the folderhave permissions 755 in Apache servers.Code:includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slideshow
It could be also restricted by your .htaccess so you have to check it too.
I am having the problem too.
I am using the picaflour's "all_business" templete. This template has 5 slideshows on the main page and I added 6th myself. I saw this plugin and assume that its easier to add the slideshows this way. So I uploaded the files and when I install the sql file it gives the below error.
"Success 9 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot create table frontpage_slideshow because it already exists
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details. "
So I guess the table frontpage already exists because of the existing slideshow from the template I am using.
I do get the "Frontpage Slidewow" under the "Configuration" but I do not get "Frontpage Slideshow" in "Tools".
So can someone help if this can be fixed or not and I can get option under "Tools" to use this slideshow.
Thanks
Sorry it seems to be my fault for the admin menu not displaying in 1.3 versions of Zen Cart. There is a missing file.
I will submit the fix right now. Until it gets approved, because it usually takes a few days you can add the missing file manually:
create a file calledat folderCode:slideshow_tools_dhtml.php
and add the following code:Code:YOUR_ADMIN/includes/boxes/extra_boxes
Now you should be able to see the menu under Tools->Frontpage SlideshowCode:<?php

I will see if that works. Will it overwrite or work with the existing slideshow that I have. I am using "all business" template by picaflor. My site is flyhighbuy.com if you want to take a look.
The slideshow library that your template is using is 'easySlider', the one that the previous version of Frontpage Slideshow was using. I downloaded the template but i do not see any code that references to my plugin, so i think that it is not installed by default with the template. I do not know if the template provides option to disable its slideshow, but even if it does not it should not have conflicts with Frontpage Slideshow.
I cannot understand why you are getting that the table already exists, but in order to be sure that it is properly installed you should first uninstall this table (and all other that the plugin uses) by running the 'uninstall_frontpage_slideshow_zencart_1.3.sql' file.
If you have installed version 2.0.2 of the Frontpage Slideshow you just have to add the file i mentioned above, no other changes to files.
I made that file manually like you said and installed it but still there is no "Fontpage Slideshow" under "Tools." I uninstalled using the file you said and then installed again but still there is no luck. I still get the same error "Cannot create table frontpage_slideshow because it already exists"
I am using 2.0.2.....
What do we do...
Great plugin. Compliments on the latest improvements. However, I have managed to screw it up. I installed it and all worked properly, then I tried to move the code to tpl_header.php. The goal was to get the slide show running in the header rather than the page/content. I took the code and inserted it and the slide show does run however, the Javascript seem corrupt now. The fade animation is not working and in IE and Chrome, the images jump around.
I am sure I have just overlooked something in trying to move the code. Any chance you could take a look? I'd be happy to pay for you to help me debug.

Thanks!
I just checked the link you posted in latest version of Chrome and IE10 and also IE7 compatibility mode and it seems to be running smoothly, so i can not see the errors you mention.
Anyway, in order to place the slideshow in other place than the original you have to move this part of the code
fromCode:<!-- begin edit for Frontpage Slideshow -->
<?php if(FRONTPAGE_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('frontpage_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/frontpage_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!-- end edit for Frontpage Slideshow -->
and also the same corresponding code fromCode:includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php
To the position that you want the slideshow to appear in those files or other.Code:includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php
