ZX Slideshow support thread

I just installed the module and the slides are not moving, I think it might be a jQuery problem ... Everything was installed where it supposed to go and the first image is shown static ...

If you wanna take a look just click my signature below

Try removing jscript_jquery.js from includes/templates/apple_zen/jscript and see if it works w/o it.

Great! thankx, that was the culprit. After I removed it the slides are shown properly! Many thanks!

Hi.

I have been reading the "multi lingual banners" thread, and it is addressed that the banners can be identified by languages. Here is an explanation of how to do that: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...-banners/page7

The link refers back to Post #22 in that multi lingual banner thread, which is here: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...806#post866806.

I think I could figure out how to do that if I understood how to make a banner group in this very easy to use ZX Slideshow module. Since I am not using the usual Zen Cart Banner Groups, I am not sure how to transfer the instructions to the banner groups for Slide1 through Slide10.

May one use this module with more than one language? If so, what is the beat way to configure it?

Thanks.

I don't feel like explaining so I just attached a file. Upload that file to your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/ directory. This will give you multilingual support. WRONG: Then, when in Banner Manager, just assign your banner to slide1_1 group for English, slide1_2 for language with ID 2 etc. Notice the part in red - this is the language identifier. You can see this in action on the last site in my sig (only FI and EN banners created).

EDIT: This file is actually slightly different and perhaps more user friendly. All you need to do is add a banner to slide1_en for English, slide1_fr for French etc. - it's using language code instead of language ID. So, just add the underscore and language code and that's it.

Hi.

Thanks for the multi-lingual zx_slideshow.php file. I substituted it in for the monolingual file after renaming the monolingual file, and added the banners in the Admin, Banner Manager as Slide1_en and Slide1_es, and both English and Spanish banners work perfectly after re-uploading the banners previously uploaded into the monolingual version.

This module is incredibly easy to use. Thank you. (My site is not live yet, but eventually you will see the slider at w w w.g o k a r a o k e m a c h i n e . c o m (spaces added so this thread will not come up on a search for my website).

Hi.

I downloaded the patch from page 21, post 210, but I now realize it wasn't necessary because the slider was already showing even though my categories were set to show on the main page, so I believe your module was upgraded to allow that feature.

I was actually trying to center the slideshow. I had downloaded the earlier tpl_index_categories.pho at page 9 post 85, and copied to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates file.

Neither file had any effect in centering the slideshow. It is justified to the left.

As a matter of curiosity, there was no such file in existence in my downloaded module, so I am wondering if I need that file or can just delete it. I guess I will delete it and see what happens.

My actual question is how theslideshow may be centered. Is there CSS coding that needs to be changed to center the slideshow?
