ZX Slideshow support thread

[ideasgirl]

Hi,

The jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js is having loading issues with the mobile menu. In my case there's no issue on homepage, product listing page, but when you go to a specific item (product info page), the menu doesn't load properly.

How should I go around this?

You didn't provide a link to the site so I'm just gonna pull out my magic crystal ball, dust it off and get to work.

Are there other instances of jQuery loading on the site? Or is that the only jQuery file on the entire site? Have you tried disabling the 1.7.1 file (ie. rename it to Xjscript_jqery..... or just delete it) - although this might cause it to not work at all if the main jQuery file is loaded from the footer.

You might try the following:
#1 - rename /jscript/jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js to /jscript/jquery-1.7.1.min.js
#2 - modify templates/zx_slideshow.php and add this as the first line (before the existing first line):

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo($template->get_template_dir('jquery-1.7.1.min.js',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'jscript'). '/jquery-1.7.1.min.js'); ?>"></script>

This way you're loading that jQuery 1.7.1 only on your home page for ZX Slideshow, and it won't load on any other pages. Make sure you test all other features that use jQuery, and keep in mind this is not an elegant solution - it's more like killing a fly with a sledgehammer...

I follow the wiki suggestion of putting the script on the module/page where it loads and that fixed the problem.

I did try before, renaming the script, and didn't solve the issue (the slider wasn't loading).

I will try your solution anyways to see if that's another option to have available.

Great plugin, was able to get it to install with no issue.

I would like to move the slider though from the home page, to the header area.

I found in the documentation where it says "f you want to display the slider in the header instead of center area:
Step 1. open your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php and REMOVE all code for ZX Slideshow.
Step 2: explained in this post." the problem is the associated post seems to have nothing to do with moving the slider to the header area?

Help?

Thanks! C

Figured it out!

Moved the ZX code from
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php tpl_index_default.php
to
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_header.php in common
