Hi

I have installed this mod but can't get it to work. It doesn't display on my page.

In the tpl_index_default.php I noticed it references a file that does not exist, see below:

<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
	<?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>    
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->

There is no file called zx_slideshow.php in the download. If I try and change this from zx_slideshow.php to frontpage_slideshow.php it then shows an error.

I am using a new install of zencart v1.5.1

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi sportbilly,
I've just tried to update to the new one posted, but nothing is showing on front page.
The old one was working. Have done the uninstall of old, with sql files supplied.
It appears to be working in admin under both Configuration and Tools menus and upload of image states it worked.
Have chosen an image of just 200 wide for testing and have the module enabled in config.
Anyone else tried upgrading?
(edit: have just seen someone else has posted with trouble, will keep updated if I find a fix)

I've looked on line 47, but not sure if something is incorrect.

echo '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1" align="center">' . "\n"; 

Info I've searched suggests this error can be related to echo statements.

But I don't know the fix
(no extra space at start or end)

Hi, i can not reproduce this error. There is no trailing space or open <?php tags, and in my admin i see no errors on a fresh install of ZC 1.5. Does it work if you ignore the error? Can you upload images?

Now that you gave us the edited file correctly and Echion has made the capital letter change, it is working thanks and the error log has stopped happening.

Ok thank you both guys for mentioning errors. I could not see them at my end. I will post an updated version now.

It appears my links for the slide aren't working either.
And now I've had time to add extra slides, it only shows the border outline with no slide image.
If I reduce it to one slide only (like a static image) then it displays.

Hi, it seems i accidentally included a wrong 'tpl_index_default.php' file from another slideshow plugin.

To make it work, please open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php


And at line 18 change from

<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
	<?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>    
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->

to this:

<!-- begin edit for Frontpage Slideshow -->
<?php
if (FRONTPAGE_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('frontpage_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/frontpage_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php }?>
<!-- end edit for Frontpage Slideshow -->

I will post an update to the plugins section asap.

Hi

I had already tried that but I get this message: WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. Also the text added to define page editor is not showing.

Thanks
