ACoin Homepage Slider Support
I am releasing a new module for everyone to use. I put it together awhile ago after not being able to find too many home sliders that I liked
ACoin Zen Cart Homepage Slider
Demo Found Here
* Professional Home Page Slider for Zen Cart
* Adjustable height and width
* Slider description on each image slider
* Multiple transition effects.
* No changes to core files
The template package can be downloaded in the Addons marketplace here:

Re: ACoin Zen Cart Homepage Slider Support
nice work.
i assume there is a administration back end to that ?
how do you add images with anchor tags ?
is it compatible for version 139h?
Re: ACoin Homepage Slider Support
I recently installed this ACoin Homepage Slider, on my local server using version 150.
It was a very easy one to install, however the pictures do not show up. I am just using the classic template to see how it works. I do notice that the revolving pics are moving by seeing the small indicator gifs below where the pictures should be, moving.
The (stock) images were put into: includes/templates/classic/images
Any ideas on why everything seams to be working except the images do not show up.
Re: ACoin Homepage Slider Support
In your define_main_page.php it looks like the following changes need to be made, I have submitted an update but in the mean time you can change the following
Each image file path had a "/" that should be removed at the beginning so replace this
Code:
<img src='/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slide3.jpg' >
with this
Code:
<img src='includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slide3.jpg' >
On each image file path so the whole thing will look like this
Code:
<div id='coin-slider'>
<a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com" target="_blank">
<img src='includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slide1.jpg' >
<span>
Description for slide1 - edit in includes > languages > english > html_includes > YOUR_TEMPLATE > define_main_page.php
</span>
</a>
<a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com">
<img src='includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slide2.jpg' >
<span>
Description for slide2 - edit in includes > languages > english > html_includes > YOUR_TEMPLATE > define_main_page.php
</span>
</a>
<a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com">
<img src='includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slide3.jpg' >
<span>
Description for slide3 - edit in includes > languages > english > html_includes > YOUR_TEMPLATE > define_main_page.php
</span>
</a>
<a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com">
<img src='includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/slide4.jpg' >
<span>
Description for slide4 - edit in includes > languages > english > html_includes > YOUR_TEMPLATE > define_main_page.php
</span>
</a>
</div>
You also want to make sure you update the YOUR_TEMPLATE to your template name in this case would be classic.
Let me know if you are able to get that fixes, sorry about the hiccup :-/
Re: ACoin Homepage Slider Support
Also while looking it over I noticed that there was another update that needed to be done. Below the anchor tags on define_main_page.php ther is the JS script with the slider effects and the word height is misspelled and leading the slider to be extra tall.
change
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#coin-slider').coinslider({ width: 500, heignt: 200, navigation: true, delay: 5000 });
});
</script>
to
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#coin-slider').coinslider({ width: 500, height: 200, navigation: true, delay: 5000 });
});
</script>

Thanks, as of right now there is not a back end and to add images you just add another anchor tag on the define_main_page.php its pretty basic right now but works
It is compatible with 1.3.x as there is no back end right now
Re: ACoin Homepage Slider Support
Works perfectly with the code changes. One of the easiest addons that I worked with. Thanks.
I also noticed that I had to delete:
<span>
Description for slide4 - edit in includes > languages > english > html_includes > YOUR_TEMPLATE > define_main_page.php
</span>
Under each image so it does not show in the bottom of each image.

Glad that it worked for you, the sections
Quote:
<span>

</span>
are created as a description for the image, you can put any text here if you would like and it shows as a description on the slide.
Re: ACoin Homepage Slider Support
WORKS GREAT "Like"
Having a little trouble with the over shadowed text line. It seems to be 5 to 10 pixels narrower than the images.
I have
Code:
$('#coin-slider').coinslider({ width: 580, heignt: 280, navigation: true, delay: 5000 });
});
</script><!-- Effects to place in JS above
width: 580, // width of slider panel
height: 280, // height of slider panel
Is there somewhere else that I need to adjust these widths?
