ZX Slideshow support thread

[mvstudio]

For anyone looking to solve the issue I was having, place the jquery and jscript files in the modules>pages>index folder. I use the slider on the home page, inserted in a define page. The responsiveness now works as it should.

I just installed the slider on a website I'm building. The install went flawlessly, and the options are showing up under Configuration/ZX Slideshow. Yes, I did remember to change False to True. LOL But...the slideshow isn't showing up on the index page. Is there some snippet of code I need to enter on define_main_page.php so it has something to hook into?

The url is www.carnaltopia.com (apologies in advance that it's an adult site). And many thanks to anyone who can help me get it running properly!

Never mind, I figured it out. 'slide1,' you dummy! LOL Now to create reduced size graphics so they don't show up in 500x800!

Okay, something's still not right. I changed the images to 300 px tall and re-uploaded them to the banners directory, but they're still coming out huge (and now fuzzy) on the slideshow. So I completely deleted all the banners and tried again. Same problem.

Next I opened index_home.css (in your installation files and in the one I downloaded from the server) in hopes of finding a line that allows me to specify the height of the images. No joy. There are a bunch of different "height:" lines, but none of them seem to deal with the height of the actual image.

Also I tried to open includes/templates/z_main_smart/index_home.css, per your instructions...but there isn't any such file!

Please help? Thanks!!

Through massive experimentation and a LOT of blind luck, I finally found it. For anyone who needs to know the answer to this puzzle, I hope this helps.

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/index_home.css

Lines 390-395

.nivoSlider {
position:relative;
width:40%;
height:auto;
left:160px;
overflow: hidden;

Width:40 shrinks the size of the graphic; left:160px centers it (at least on my template--it might be slightly different on other ones).

Hello Everyone,
I need some help, just installed ZX Slideshow, setup the slides in Banner Manager, but they don't move, it just stays on the first slide.
I've double checked I have all the correct files in the proper locations.
Has anyone had this issue before?

Please provide a link to your site, everything else is like shooting in the dark.

My guess is it's a jQuery conflict, but I can't tell for sure without seeing the site.
