Hello -
So my site has a javascript slideshow that runs on the main page, and I would like to replicate that functionality on a product category page. It looks like if I put the script code into /templates/CUSTOM/jscript with a unique DIV ID then I can call the script in a blank <DIV> --- just not sure how to get the <DIV> into the category page...

Re: Adding a <div> to a single category page
A bit more detail on where you want to have this blank div located will help us advise. If the category description area will work, that is a no-brainer, just add the div to the description. If you want it elsewhere, it will be more complicated.
You do need a PHP test to make sure the script only tries to run for that particular category. A jscript_whatever.php file can hold that test, and only run the script in the right category.

Re: Adding a <div> to a single category page
Thanks for the reply. So I do want the slideshow on a category description here. I put in the DIV with the same ID, like this

Re: Adding a <div> to a single category page
I just looked at the source for my main page, and the whole script is being loaded in the HEAD section. How do I get that to load in the HEAD section for a category? I think it's okay if that script is loaded on every category, so long as I only have a DIV in the description of the page where I want the slideshow...

Re: Adding a <div> to a single category page
Actually, it's the other way around. The empty div will silently sit there on any page without a script to use it, while the script without the div will give a fatal error.
You need a file like /includes/templates/your_template/jscript/jscript_cat_slideshow.php
with content likePHP Code:<?php
if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '23') { ?>
<your script code>
<?php } ?>

Re: Adding a <div> to a single category page
I had given up on this, but I'm circling back to try again... so the script is loading from /includes/templates/<my temlate>/jscript and I can see it in the <head> section when I view the page source. I can also see the empty <div>, but still no slideshow
any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.

There's nothing I can say without seeing your site live... aside from the obvious "you have some erroneous code somewhere"...

This is the category page where I want the slideshow: Originally Posted by gjh42

If you view the source you can see 2 iterations of the Dynamic Drive script is being loaded from /includes/templates/ban/jscript - I have added the one with the wrapperID: fadeshow2 - at this point I'm just trying to replicate the slideshow on the main page, figuring that if I can at least get a slideshow to show up then I can change the images as needed...

Re: Adding a <div> to a single category page
We get this sort of thing to work by applying the jscript embedding principles applicable to zencart.
In general, a "sitewide" enablement of jscript can be achieved by putting the jscript.js file into modules/pages/index20 years a Zencart User
