ZX Slideshow support thread

[gernot]

Hi,
I was using ZX Slideshow v2.1 and v2.2 on ZC 1.5.6c without issues.
Now I have a testcart using 2.1.0, and have installed v3.0.0 of the plugin.
I ran the uninstall SQL patch for v2.2 on my database.
After that I copied all the admin and cart files across, modifying the two templates to insert the slider as explained (CSS file directly from the plugin as is).
The admin configuration had no issues, but slides do not display.
The jscript error in the browser debugger simply says:

TypeError: currentSlide is undefined

at the

var currentSlide = this.slides[this.activeIndex];

in the

jQuery(window).on("load", function ()

of the jscript_zx_slideshow.php file.
There are no Zencart level debugging logs.
I have tried to check that I did not forget some editing changes but cannot seem to find any issue at the moment.
If anyone has ideas on where I should be looking, I would be most grateful.

I got the advice from Google that his is related to various problems with swiper.js, and am debugging this now, sorry for the noise.
Firefox also does not manage to retrieve the swiper-bundle.min.js which will need to be hosted locally.

Hi all,
It turns out that the issue was a simple reading and comprehension issue. The DB query for zx_slideshow v3 in the zx_slideshow.php template file only looks for slide group 'home', and I had put in the same slide group for each slide as I had used in v2.1/2.2.
The dialogue for setting up slides does not fix the slide group to 'home', I guess that the idea is that one can clone this template file in other places and have different slide groups as needed in those template files.
The slideshow now works perfectly. Moral of the story: before thinking about Javascript and DOM issues, check if there is actually any data to work with.

to be very clear, the file that needs to be updated to change 'home' to the slide group you actually used is

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/zx_slideshow.php
