Frontpage Slideshow [support thread]

[icecold]

I have the same problem mentioned before by other members, that is the jquery script seems not to work properly, as the images are stacked on top of each other.
I am not very familiar with jquery, but there are several libraries under /libs if you want to check what it looks like just click the link below to my store.

I have this installed on 1.39h and it works great.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the navigation numerical images?
Not sure what to remove, I assume from the stylesheet_slider.css ?
Thanks

I had this plugin working great for months on 1.5.0.

But my finger got excited, and I erased some of the mainpage sourcecode somehow.

So it was then corrupt-looking on website.

So I am trying to uninstall & re-install.

Uninstall only states "fail"
Install won't allow ... because slideshow table is still in the DB (because uninstall will not remove it)

Help please, lol.

Can someone give me the mainpage slideshow sourcecode, so I can cure it?
Thanks.

Or a SQL patch that can properly uninstall?

Or an install SQL patch that doesn't ask if the table is there or not, and just forces it there?

[DV8R]

Nevermind, I got it back.
whew.
Probably never gave the admin interface enough time the 1st time around.
Time to make a backup. LOL.

But I want to apply slider image just like on this hope template

Hi,

I altered my numerical images by turning the colour to match the background, quick and easy see www.brighter-smile.co.uk i just edited the /brighter-smile.co.uk/includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

#control_div{width:200px;height:18px;position:relative;left:200px;top:-50px;}
ol#controls{margin:1em 0;padding:0;height:00px;}
ol#controls li{margin:0 10px 0 0;padding:0;float:left;list-style:none;height:10px;line-height:10px;}
ol#controls li a{float:left;height:00px;line-height:0px;border:0px solid #ccc;background:#bcc0b1;color:#000;padding:0 10px;text-decoration:none;}
ol#controls li.current a{background:#7d0b0b;color:#ccc;}
ol#controls li a:focus, #prevBtn a:focus, #nextBtn a:focus{outline:none;}
</style>

I am pretty new to this but can get by and no doubt someone will have a better way of removing them altogether, I just wanted to update mine. I just used firebug in firefox to locate and try the changes and then committed when I was happy.hope it helps

Rather than put the styling inline in define_main_page.php, the style rules should go in your stylesheet (/includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css).

Someone asked this a while back...Is there a way to sort the slides without deleting all of them?
When you want to have the first one for promotion and change it often, it's not easy.
I have numbered them 1-10, but number 10 for example is in position 8.
Any idea how the sorting is...sorted?

Edit...it may be just taking the spot of the first available slot I think, but if someone can clarify about being able to sort anyway thanks.
