I don't think it's got anything to do with tpl_index_default.php but probably something else. I believe it's related to something else, but can't say what without seeing your site's code and debugging it. And that's beyond forum support, sorry.

no worries thanks balihr. I notice on the slideshow that it is trying load 11 images the first one is blank. In banner manager slide1 has been assigned an image but it would appear when going by the buttons that this is actually slide2?
Another issue which you may be able to shed some light on and that is that fact since installing ZX Slideshow my carousel sideboxes have stopped working, tried changing js files etc but nothing seems to work, I will be posting in the carousel thread also. thanks again sorry for being a pest.

I've copied everything as stated in the readme. However, when I tried to install the sql patch by copying and pasting the contents in the sql file, I
had gotten a 403 error.

I'm using zen cart 1.50

Got it...! I've installed the sql patch by uploading it instead of copying n pasting.

How can I move the position of the entire slider to right?

That shouldn't happen since it's only got 10 positions. I have no idea why it's happening.

Carousel is not working because you deleted or moved jscript/jquery.tools.min.js which runs it. Since there was obviously some bad practice coding done, I suggest you clean it all up and then continue. For example, you have jQuery loading from google (1.4.4) and from your server (1.7.1). jquertools path is hard coded - I know that's how the plugin originally comes, but you should fix that. Once you clean everything up, I believe you'll be error free.

You can edit the stylesheet and add some margin-left... Edit your index_home.css and find this:

.theme-default .nivoSlider {
	position:relative;
	background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
    margin-bottom:50px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}

Change to

.theme-default .nivoSlider {
	position:relative;
	background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
    margin-left:20px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}

Of course, you can add any margins you like.

Hi, I have just installed this super slideshow but it doesn't seem to work correctly in Firefox (works perfectly in Chrome and IE). As you can see from my home page www.nameyourgift.ie there seems to be white space at the bottom and right of most images. However if I disable slide5 the slideshow displays as it should however I'm not sure why slide5 is causing the problem? All slides are exactly the same size i.e. 682 x 232. Its strange my slideshow works perfectly on all the other browsers....I would appreciate if anyone can help.

Many thanks

All slides are exactly the same size i.e. 682 x 232.

Noup. Resize your children_new.jpg to 682x232px and you should be fine... That image is currently 700x250px...

Have fun.
