ZX Slideshow support thread

Question.

We have the code for the slider in the define main page, that way if we need to add other promotions below it, the task is easy to accomplish. The define main page is pulled from the mytemplate/common/tpl_main_page.php which is wrapped around the statement if($this_is_home_page) to make it work only on the front page. So far and for years we thought that was it, of course until today.

I noticed an URL pointing to a product page in a weird way byvalenti.com/index.php?products_id=39 (it should be byvalenti.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_42&products_id=39) and when I checked it out I noticed the slider, which shouldn't have displayed because that's not the main page, does display.

Is there any other way to force the slider from not showing when visitors "play" with my website in this manner?

Thank you for the help! =)

This is not related to ZX Slideshow and to be honest, I'm not sure how to resolve it. It's actually a bug in Zen Cart, I'm just reporting it and we should wait for someone smarter than me to figure it out. Smarter than me... Ha, it's not like I placed the bar high... :smile:

@mvstudio - check here please.

Don't sell yourself short! You're awesome! Thank you! I didn't even think it could be a ZC bug. :smile: On my way to check the link out. Have an awesome Saturday!

I find that zx slideshow doesn't display at all if the version of jquery loaded is 3.0 or newer.

What error do you see in the javascript console?

Well... Luckily, you can't see me blushing here... We've mentioned this before and I just blamed Nivo being old and no longer maintained and didn't look into it. This was primarily because I had planned a brand new version of the plugin based on a different slider, but never got to it.
I just tried it on a vanilla 1.5.6c and one look at the console and the clue was staring at me... :smile:

At the time the plugin was built, this was okay, but things have changed and jQuery has deprecated some functions.

Code:

---

jQuery(window).load(function() {

---

This is old and no longer works. So, we need to use the new version:

Code:

---

jQuery(window).on("load",function(){

---

This is from includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/zx_slideshow.php line 4.

Plugin update submitted and awaiting approval. In the meantime, you can just replace that one line. :smile:

Approved with requests.

Is there a way to resize the slideshow? I've checked config/zxslideshow and a bunch other places I thought it might be, but no luck. Right now it is too big

1.5.7.

It's based on the popular Nivo Slider which allows you to create your own slideshow on the main page, uses jQuery and is completely controlled from the admin - this means no more messing with code or FTP, everything is done from the admin section. It utilizes the native Banner Management system to give you full control.

You can add up to 10 slides, but can also make your slideshow even more interesting because you have the ability to add multiple images for one banner position so each time a random image is loaded.

There are 16 slide effects to choose from. You can also adjust how long each slide will be displayed as well as if it will pause when hovered.

Here are some screenshots:

I'll do my best to provide support for the module, but can't guarantee anything.

Looking at this initial post I can see that I do not have the options to change the slideshow height or width.

I uninstalled, then reinstalled with the same result. Thanks for any help.
