ZX Slideshow support thread

[picandnix]

Hi Balihr. I've had your awesome mod working on a 1.3.9h store just fine for several months thank you. However I have just installed it on a 1.5.1 that I'm having a play around with. All works fine except the configuration setting true/false to enable or disable the slider. I have seen a previous post in this thread and added the 'true' as suggested yet I still cannot switch the slider off via the configuration area. it's a testing site but I'd really like to get it sussed. www. tkdcombat. co. uk

Sorry for my late reply, I was sick and wasn't online...

Since you're displaying categories on your main page, did you fix the tpl_index_categories.php or just tpl_index_default.php ?

it's good to see you back, I hope your better now?
This is the piece of code I have in tpl_index_categories.php

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

I guess it was me who gave that code you used...

Try this instead:

<?php
if($this_is_home_page) {
        if (ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
        <?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php }
}?>

Not too sure what went wrong but I got a bordered white box after install on 1.39h with the following plugins
(recover cart, edit orders, ty package tracker, SEO URLS, Sitmaps XML, Image Handler 2)
The ZX SlideShow is set on flase in my admin.

No files were overwritten so this is strange to me. Am I overlooking something?
Thanks for the help if someone can shed some light.

This is a well known bug in the module... I really need to submit an updated version...

Find your includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_index_default.php and change

<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == true) { ?>

to

<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>

Currently, the on/off switch doesn't work until you make this change.

Perfect, thank you so much
