Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

Great idea, putting this into Zen Cart-ready form with ZC-specific instructions. But I note that the mod description says v2.4, while the actual js file is v1.5.1. The current slideshow files, preparation and installation are very different from this version.

I'll have to add it to the next update as I can't upload the same files.

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

Hi There,

I've tried installing this variation (in installation) versus Franks #5. i've been having a bear of a time to put it mildly. The instructions indicate that

<script type="text/javascript" src="fade.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)

new fadeshow(fadeimages, 600, 340, 0, 3000, 0 )

</script>

needs to be placed in tpl_header.php but I'd like this in the main body of the home page. Do I insert this into html_header.php? Or elsewhere? Also as you can see I currently have the code in tpl_header.php and the site is showing the space for the fade slide but there is no slide. I have:
1. uploaded jscript_fade.js into my_template/jscript folder. I've also uploaded images into the my_template/images folder. I've renamed the images in the jscript as well. All help would be greatly greatly appreciated. :frusty:

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

Yeah I got it working. I realized that images go in zencart/images/ folder not my template folder. And I put the <script code from above into define main page as is and voila! Yes. thank you for putting this install together. The other means of installing it didn't work. Thanks again~!:clap:

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

I'm so happy with this add on. Thanks again... Just one more question about the framework. How do I center the Ultimate Fade in slider?

Much appreciated, Lynn:D

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

I am looking at the site which is the link in your signature in a post above this:

The div id is hard coding so you have the find the file to control this:

Look for this: master0

add: margin:auto;

If you cant find the right .php file...

add this to your stylesheet.css
#master0 {margin:auto;}

Hope this is correct. I forgot how I did mine but will check when i get home to the files.

Input at the start of the code on the .php file
<Center>

After the last line of code put
</center>

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

I'm back again...

For some reason I can't get the WYSIWYG editor to work when I'm in the define pages editor. I think it may be because I added the script coding as

<script type="text/javascript" src="fade.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)

new fadeshow(fadeimages, 700, 450, 0, 3000, 0 )

</script>

It's driving me crazy why this is. I've tried removing the script in file manager but I still can't get the WYSIWYG editor. And I checked define main page status and it's "1". I'm thoroughly stumped. Any help much much appreciated, Lynn

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

I've realized now that I have the same problem in my EZ Pages so I don't think this has anything to do with the Ultimate Fade Slider. I'll post elsewhere.

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

I have installed this but I have a problem with it. I added the code to define_main_page and displays my images like it should do. The problem is when I make my window smaller, the slideshow stays the same size and doesnt resize with the window. Also on screens with different resolutions it doesn't seem to change size so it ends up looking all wrong.

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

A link to see this in action? The slideshow is set at a particular pixel size (defined by you), and is not going to shrink or expand if you change the window size.

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

I have PMed you the link. Notice how when you change the page size. It pushes all the blocks on the right apart. I am not sure if it is becuase I edited the mainwrapper part in my CSS template from 100% to 60%. I did this because I didn't want my template filling up the whole screen. Although I have seen other websites who use this slideshow module with a template that doesn't fill up the whole screen.

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

Your slideshow and its images are set to a width that can only work in big widescreen monitors. You have your page set at 60% of the window, which looks fine on a big monitor, but will become too narrow to use regardless of the slideshow in small windows, while leaving lots of blank space on either side. Change the % to a fixed width, or set a min-width large enough that the site won't shrink too much.
Then resize your images to fit comfortably. I think it is unnecessary to blast your visitors with a huge "secure site" slideshow in the most prime real estate on your homepage. Are you selling SSL certificates, or something else?

Re: Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

That image is temporary for testing purposes. The problem is that all the blank space on the sides should get smaller and smaller depending on the resolution and size of the window. With mine, it keeps the blank space the same size which is why everything goes out of align. I think its a template problem now actually. I must need to edit something else as well as mainwrapper.
