ZX Slideshow support thread

Yes it does work on 1.5.1 like a dream. My only gripe is where the caption band has been set to opaque - means the caption text is also opaque. How can I remedy this?

TIA

Honestly, I'm not sure - the slideshow itself is based on Nivo slider and all effects come from it. The captions are also Nivo's so I'm guessing you'll need to rewrite the nivo js if you want to change the way it handles captions.

Hi Balihr

I have been doing a bit of digging. basically styling can be achieved under nivo-caption a. There are font color attributes under just nivo-slider and that was where the confusion lies.

Hope that clears up any issues for anyone also using images and wanting to add captions.

Hi, I found a little error in file tpl_index_default.php at line 19:
It was :
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == true) { ?>

But it should be with ' ', so it should be like :
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>

Otherwise, after activating ZX Slideshow, if you want to deactivate, it will still stay on.

Hello All,

Thank you for the great mod...good work!

I installed ZX Slideshow into my 139h site with no issues and it ran perfectly, I then upgraded my site to ZC1.5 in a sub folder and again had ZX Slideshow running perfectly. When I moved the site into public html folder I ran into an odd admin glitch related to ZX Slideshow. It runs perfectly on the front end but it disappeared in the admin, I then tried programmatically adding it as a menu item to the v1.5.0 admin and it shows up in the configuration menu but I get a 404 error when I click the link.

What's my best strategy to get ZX Slideshow running in the admin again?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

It shouldn't return a 404, unless you're doing something very wrong. What's the URL you get in the address bar after you click the new entry in Configuration->ZX Slideshow. I bet you just registered the page incorrectly...

Hello Balihr,

Thank you for the fast response.

Zen Cart admin says I've successfully registered the page. Is there only one file to install in the admin? If I try to register the page again I get 'Page key already exists. Page keys must be unique.'

Thanks Balihr.

Can you reply to my first question, please? What's the URL you get in the address bar after you click the new entry in Configuration->ZX Slideshow? You can take out the domain and admin directory.

How on earth did you manage to get that?! Take a look at the screenshot attached to se how you're supposed to register the admin page. You will have to take a look in your database to find the actual DB entry ID in configuration_group table and replace the two instances of XX with your IDs.
If the page key is already taken, just add 2 at the end (zxSlideshow2) or something like that.
