Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

[gjh42]

The new code supports different caption text for each language, but not different images. That said, it might be possible to have a different instance of the fadeshow for each language, each with its own set of images. Or you could add some coding to jscript_fadeshow_setup.php to set the image for the fadeshow depending on the language, such as replacing

["includes/templates/your_template/images/yourimage0.jpg", "", "", "<?php echo FADESHOWTEXT_1_IMG00;?>"],

with

["includes/templates/your_template/buttons/<?php echo $_SESSION['language'];?>/yourimage0.jpg", "", "", "<?php echo FADESHOWTEXT_1_IMG00;?>"],

and saving the images like
/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/yourimage0.jpg
/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/english/yourimage1.jpg
/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/french/yourimage0.jpg
/includes/templates/your_template/buttons/french/yourimage1.jpg

There are other similar ways of doing this as well.

Thanks gjh42 for your post, I've tried to do it but nothing changed, do you have any other tip?

[gjh42]

If done correctly, that will work, unless javascript needs some escaping before the PHP can be read. My code editor (Notepad++) highlights the inserted PHP correctly, but I don't know for sure as I am not proficient in js and how it interacts with PHP.
I would need to see exactly what you did to tell what went wrong.

After adding the quotes as mentioned, my shop front end still remains blank :-(

Hey Dark, what version did you download?

Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow - Version: 2.4.1
Fixed quotes in setup file.

I found that in jscript_fadeshow_setup.php there was a : used instead of a ; on IMG03 (I think).

You may have found this in the older recent version of the mod, but it does not exist in the v2.4.1 fileset I uploaded, neither the : nor the IMG03.

Do i need to enter like this: <?php echo $_SESSION['english'] instead of 'language'?

[gjh42]

Absolutely not. The exact syntax I posted is what will get the correct current language that has been selected by the user.

[melirlbr]

Wow, thanks gjh42 for the help, syntax works perfectly, you are great!

I'm hoping to use Glenn Herbert's Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow to create a page that will display either all products or specified category items.

Apparently niestudio is developing a script based on color box to be able to do this, but in the meantime I'm wondering how difficult it would be to populate the two .js files of Slideshow (jscript_fadeshow_setup.php and fadeshow_defines.php) from the products_description and products tables.

So that for example, all products, all specials, etc could be contained within a slideshow.

Any input or insight greatly appreciated.

[gjh42]

Since jscript_fadeshow_setup.php is a PHP file, you could add PHP code to it to look up product info from the database and populate that into items for the slideshow. It would require decent proficiency with PHP and MySQL, but would not be terribly difficult.
