When I rename the YOURADMIN/includes/init_includes/init_zx_slideshow_install.php file this breaks my Admin and I cannot access Admin...just get a white screen and Debug Error.
I tried just deleting that file and progressing....same result...a white screen.
I then went in and deletd this latest install of the plugin in my cart and then ran the old plugin sql stmt. I can only get the SQL stmt to run if I upload the file (uninstall-v1.5.x.sql) rather than copy and paste it into the Admin->SQLPatch area. It then processes the 5 statements to uninstall.
I apologize, this was my oversight. You should've renamed YOURADMIN/includes/auto_loaders/config.zx_slideshow.php as well - this would've avoided the white screen. Sorry about that.
When I fill in the fields in Admin-Tools_ZX Slideshow I have inputted 2 slides for testing. I see the first slide but when going to the second slide it does not show the image (it is uploaded to the correct directory...both images for slides are in images/slides). For fields, I am only filling in the Title, SlideURL, Slide Group, Image, Sort Order (to control display order) and date of expiry at the end.
The second image seems to be renamed - can you check the name of the file you're trying to upload? It comes up as
Code:
<img class="background-image__image" src="images/slides/kk_grace_slide/jpg" alt="">
which is obviously wrong - notice the forward slash instead of dot.
I think where I may be going wrong is with the Slide Group. I have filled it in as "home" in both slides. In the previous plugin, we needed to use Slide1, Slide2, etc. Home1, Home2, etc. does not work properly..... Can you point me to what I've done wrong?
Forget about slide groups, that was used in v2, but v3 is completely different.
Also, when hovering over the slide, even though I've filled in the URL for each slide, it does not hot link it so a customer could click the slide and be taken to that product. Have I missed something to do this while inserting the slide??
Thanks again for your help!
Hm... The URL is linked to the button only, not the entire slide. I'll be away until Saturday, but when I come back home, I'll provide an update to make the entire image a link.
