I have a customer who is presently using a cobbled together flash manager to be able to easily change out images for his slideshow banner. It is database driven so that the customer can activate and inactivate his images and upload his images with ease. Great concept - poor delivery in the end.
This is not the first customer I've run into with this need so I'm planning on a jQuery and database driven slideshow mod. My present customer cannot afford the cost so I'm looking for other website owners or developers who want to contribute to this development - with either money or help. Please pm me if you are interested.
If I can get enough support, I will release it as a free contribution.
jQuery is definitely the future and I believe it's planned for inclusion in the big 2.0 release but the need & desire is now.
I can use any one of a many jquery slideshows and integrating it into the cart isn't much of a job. Developing the admin addition is the most time consuming part of this. I have the flash manager example but it's not a good example of zen cart coding.
If anyone can think of another well-done contribution that allows image uploads and table data management that i can quickly adapt, that would be great as well.
