Bentley Classic Template Support Thread

ALright.. this is my last post I swear.. (**snickers**)

The slideshow doesn't appear to work in Safari. (I'm using Safari 5.1.7 for PC). I have confirmed that both the site I am working on (http://clientlaserdiscvault(dot)overthehillweb(dot)com/) and the sample site for this template exhibit the same behavior. (first noticed this when doing some minor mobile testing.. the slideshow does not work from my mobile phone, but shrugged it off..) The controller moves, but the slides do not change. Gonna have my client check this on his Mac to see if Safari on the Mac shows the same behavior.

I would recommend contacting the author of the slide show code for help with this. You can find the credit link in the readme.html file.

Thanks,

Anne

thanks will look into that or I may replace the slideshow altogether..I'm on a tight deadline so replacing might be my faster solution.. of course if I get a solution I will post back and share..

To recap:

The Easy Slider slideshow that comes with this template does not work in Safari (Mac and PC) or the default Android browser. (Not sure about iOS, but it's likely iOS would have the same issues) As I indicated previously, by not work I mean that the controller appears to work, but the slides do not change.

So I reached out to the author of the Easy Slider slideshow, and did not receive a response to my request for help. So as I indicated in my previous posts, I moved on to find another slideshow that would be more cross-browser compatible to solve my Safari issues and mobile issues. I settled on the Nivo Slider. It uses a newer JQuery Library and it turns out that it was pretty easy to adapt this slideshow for use with Zen Cart. (there is also a WordPress Plugin for the Nivo Slider if anyone is interested)

I've provided the files on my site: http://overthehillweb.com/free-downloads for anyone interested in replacing the Easy Slider slideshow with the Nivo Slider . (I re-purposed many of the files Anne used in adapting Easy Slider for Zen Cart). In the fileset I provide a sample slideshow based on the demo that comes with the Nivo Slider. The demo provides several examples of ways to configure the Nivo Slider. I did not include a readme in this package, and the demo is fairly self explanatory IMHO. The stylesheet in the package is setup to support the four themes that come with Nivo. If you are familiar with installing Zen Cart add-ons, this should be a pretty easy install. If you need additional help configuring the slideshow, you can try these threads:

While I'm sharing this here as a follow-up to my earlier post, I would like to respectfully ask that anyone who decides to use the Nivo slide package NOT ask support related question about the Nivo slider here in THIS thread support thread. On that same note please do not PM me about the Nivo slider as I will not questions via PM about this slider. You should create a separate thread if you do need help configuring the Nivo slider so that the community can assist you, or post your questions on the Nivo Slider support forum.

Happy Zenning!!!
