ZX Slideshow support thread

[tbokich]

Is this slide show not supported anymore and if so is there one that is working now.

I installed this slide show on a fresh install of 157 and have not been able to get it to work. It shows in the admin panel but not on the page. I have bootstrap installed but did try it in the two standard zc templates. Anybody have trouble out there? www.makupartist.com

PHP Version 7.4.27
Thanks
Todd

It works on 1.5.7 I even found someone to solve the slow loading issue I had, Mine came installed in the template so I can offer any advice as to why its not working,

Been really busy lately, didn't have time to be here, sorry.

Can you please try removing your
includes/templates/bootstrap/jscript/jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js
You can just rename it to xx_jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js so it doesn't automatically load.
That file is obsolete and was supposed to be removed from the latest version, don't know how it slipped through.

Next, did you add any banners for the appropriate slideshow banner groups?

Hello there
Thank you for all your work on this plugin. Do you know if there is a way to make the slider window smaller ? Also is it possible to have the " Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?" message link above it ? Instead of blow it ? Thanks again .

The slider is responsive, meaning it will always adapt to it's parent container. in your case, it adapts width to the center column, and then adapts the height to be proportional to width. If you need it smaller in height, you'd need to use different images, something wider and shorter.

The welcome message - you'll need to reposition the slider code. Just edit your includes/templates/responsive_classic/templates/tpl_index_default.php and move the ZX Slideshow block of code below the greeting block. It should look something like this:

<div class="centerColumn" id="indexDefault">
<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<h2 class="greeting"><?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?></h2>
<?php } ?>
    
<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
    <?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->

LOL, looks like I forgot to quote... Post #703 was a reply to post #700, basically the last one that was asked.

Hi balihr,

I have just installed the plug in on a fresh copy of ZC v.1.5.8 (including running the SQL statement) and just as the poster in post #700 has, it shows in my Admin->Config, I have enabled it, and added a banner in Banner Manager to banner group Slide 1, but nothing shows on my main page.

I have read the rest of the posts and see you suggested to remove the jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js file...I have tried this and still nothing showing on the main page.

I have checked the Logs folder and only shows a PHP version error of:

--> PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant TEXT_MAIN - assumed 'TEXT_MAIN' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in C:\wamp64\www\158\includes\templates\CUSTOM\templates\tpl_index_default.php on line 31. and also same error on line 32.

Any ideas on why it is not displaying??

Thanks for your help,

Jeff

I gotta admit I haven't tested this plugin on 1.5.8 yet, primarily because I have v2 planned for later this month...

Assuming your logs aren't modified, you're using a template named "CUSTOM" - did you add the files from YOUR_TEMPLATE do that directory? If so, this was probably a mistake because the 1.5.8 version of that file is slightly different and tpl_index_default.php should look something like this:

Hi balihr,

Thanks for your reply and yes, I did upload the files to my CUSTOM folders to recognize these as this is my selected template.

Thanks for the heads up that you will be updating this plugin this month, and also for the updated for the tpl_index_default.php I have copied this code and replaced this file using this new code, but it still does not appear on my main page. I have checked the Logs folder and there is no DEBUG logs....so not sure where I've gone wrong. Is it possible that it has something to do with the tpl_index_default.php as this file is not a stock file in the /templates folder....it only exists in this module?

Do you have any other suggestions or perhaps just wait until you have had the time to work on the updated plugin??


Thanks,

Jeff
