Javascript slideshow issue

**timhersh** · 2 Nov 2012, 04:38 PM

Hello,

I can't figure this out.

I am trying to put this slideshow on a home page for a client.

Here is the slideshow http://kgfinegifts.com/slides-110112.html

and here is the page

http://kgfinegifts.com/shop/index.ph...page=page&id=9

**
When I add the code through the EZ page it replaces all the javacript code with symbol instead of "" So instead I tried and iframe and that wont' work either.

I have searched the website trying to find an error and saw how to upload the javascript to an js file and that seems to work but the slideshow isn't playing still .If I look at the source code I can see that the code is there but can't figure out how to get it to play in zen cart.

Any ideas?

Here is the code

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var imgs1 = new Array("http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Children.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Fashion.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Gifts.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-HomeDecor.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Jewelry.png");
var alt1 = new Array();
var currentAd1 = 0;
var imgCt1 = 5;
function cycle1() {
## if (currentAd1 == imgCt1) {
## ## currentAd1 = 0;
## }
var banner1 = document.getElementById('adBanner1');
var link1 = document.getElementById('adLink1');
## banner1.src=imgs1[currentAd1]
## banner1.alt=alt1[currentAd1]
## currentAd1++;
}
## window.setInterval("cycle1()&amp;amp;",3000);
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {
	background-color: #FFF;
	padding:0;
	margin:0;
}
</style>
</head>

You have tags in your code that should not be there, like
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

These will cause errors as they are already created by Zen Cart and should never be duplicated.

What does that slideshow do that Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow in Plugins does not? UFS is already set up to integrate with Zen Cart, and can have its fade/duration settings adjusted to what you show.

Last, why are you trying to use an ez-page for the home page? You can put the same content into the stock define_main_page.php in Tools > Define Pages Editor, and turn on/off whatever home page features you want.

Hm, I didn't add any of those tags though

I added this to the ez page

and this to the html_header file to get the javascript up there

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var imgs1 = new Array("http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Children.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Fashion.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Gifts.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-HomeDecor.png","http://kgfinegifts.com/Landing%20Pages/Slides/Slide-Jewelry.png");
var alt1 = new Array();
var currentAd1 = 0;
var imgCt1 = 5;
function cycle1() {
## if (currentAd1 == imgCt1) {
## ## currentAd1 = 0;
## }
var banner1 = document.getElementById('adBanner1');
var link1 = document.getElementById('adLink1');
## banner1.src=imgs1[currentAd1]
## banner1.alt=alt1[currentAd1]
## currentAd1++;
}
## window.setInterval("cycle1()&amp;amp;",3000);
</script>

Thank you, I have never heard of that plugin but I'll give it a shot, as long as it is not flash it should work. Any idea why this isn't working though?

I do plan on using the main define page, just through it in an ezpage cause I thought that might fix the issue.

**picandnix** · 2 Nov 2012, 06:21 PM

this slideshow is very adaptable and comes highly recommended and supported

**timhersh** · 2 Nov 2012, 09:01 PM

thanks, I have installed it and thought it looked pretty simple.

I created two banner images and followed the directions but it doesn't mention adding any code to the home page.I have it enabled but nothing is showing up on the home page, any ideas?

**timhersh** · 2 Nov 2012, 09:26 PM
