Using FrontPageSlideShoe with Zen-Cart?

Hi
I have built several Zen-cart sites and have used Frontpageslideshow on several non Zen-cart sites. Now I want to try to Frontpageslideshow with Zen-cart.
I have to insert the following code snippet, where I want the slide show to appear.

<?php
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "quest4art"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.quest4art.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/user/public_html"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
?>

I have tried adding it through the main_page editor (plain text) but it doesn't work.

Has anybody used Frontpageslideshow with Zen-cart.

Has anybody any suggestions about entering the code snippet.

Thanks

Strenuously avoid the temptation to incorporate any kind of MS stuff (including FrontPage) in your ZC website. Potential for untold hassles exists!

Hi Schoolboy

this is NOT MS. This is a really great php script that runs a search engine friendly slide show.

Re: Using FrontPageSlideShoe with Zen-Cart?

Front Page Slide Show is a great slide show solution.

I followed the instructions that came with the FPSS package and then put the FPSS php code in the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php file.

I wanted FPSS to only appear on the zen cart index page only so I added...

if ($this_is_home_page) {

just below the...

<?php

...at the beginning of the FPSS php code.

Worked like a charm.


My thanks goes out to clydejones for his help with the if ($this_is_home_page) { code.
