ZX Slideshow support thread

Since the slideshow is disabled, I can't see what you have. But, did you use images with EXACT same dimensions? Width and height must be exactly the same for all images in used in the slideshow.

balihr,

thanks for your response, and yes all images have the same dimensions.

I' enabling the slideshow for you to take a look.

Thanks again!!!

Hm... This seems to be yet another issue with the module. Why, oh why did I have to update it to the responsive version? It's something I'll need to figure out how to bypass the original banner system and have it not add image dimensions in the code.

There are 2 possible solutions in your case. One is to add a few lines in your index_home.css file and one is to change your images to 702x200px (or any other height, just make sure width is 702px). If you're going for the latter, you can just add white background and center the image (white on left and right). If you're going with the css version, add the following:

#slider {
	width:500px;
	margin:0 auto;
}

balihr,

Thanks for the suggestions, but neither one worked, ccs code did nothing and images size was worse, did not showed up.

I did change the template to classic and didn't have the issue, I guess is a problem with the template.

Thanks you much!!!!

Are you sure? I just tested on my local install and the css option does what it's supposed to. Image resize would definitely do the same, but I won't test it now, don't have the time.

Did you reload the page? Clear cache?

Balihr,

Thanks, I did reload the page, did not clear cache.

Know that I cleared cache, it's working Thanks.

I'm going to work on images sizes to fill the whole slideshow, eliminating the white spaces on the sides.

Thank you for your time, support and great contribution.

How can I include the slideshow in my current template - uploaded all files, installed it, it's working for classic theme but how can I remove my current slider and force yours?

Best regards!


EDIT: Think I pulled it out - added

<!-- 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 my define_main_page where I need it and it seems to work. Do I need any other modifications?

That's not exactly the way it's supposed to be done, but if it works for you, OK...
