None of the code from my slider is loading - are you sure you upload the files correctly to your template folder? Also, I've noticed that you have easy slider installed - you might have to remove it because it could cause conflicts. It's not causing it now since nothing is loaded...

Hi Balihr,

I've been trying your slideshow on my site and couldn't get it to work until I put it in classic folder. Now I have..

1) An image above and behind the slideshow.
2) I can't hid the bottom line caption and shading.
3) The buttons are too far down (on the default theme).

Would you mind having a look at http://awesomemoviestuff.com please and see if you can tell me what needs changing?

Thanks

For some reason my slideshow is not changing. I have the newest version of zencart 1.5 as well as the newest version of zx 2.0.1. The slideshow shows up on my homepage like it should but doesn't change images. I created two banners, one with group slide1 and one with group slide2. I read through the forum the best I could but didn't see a solution. I apologize if this has already been mentioned. I did test and put both banners in slide1 group and refreshed a couple of times and they did both randomly appear like it should. I have both images with the same dimensions (230x307) I have put the code below in the index_home.css as mentioned in the forum to fix another issue. I could really use some advice on this issue. The site is bobs.leather.shop.com without the dots.

#slider {
	width:230px;
	height:307px;
	margin:0 auto;
}

I had the same problem initially too, Welchy until I put index_home.css into includes/templates/classic/css. I also got quite confused with naming everything, but this is what's now working for me...

In admin:
Configuration > Layout Settings > Banner Display Groups - Header Position 1 ... Leave blank (the same for position 2 & 3)
Configuration > ZX Slideshow > Banner Display Groups - Slide1 ... slide 1
Configuration > ZX Slideshow > Banner Display Groups - Slide2 ... slide 2 (Slide3, slide 3... Slide4, slide4 etc.)

Tools > Banner Manager > New Banner
Banner Title: (enter a title. This will be displayed with the image)
Banner URL: (The link you want the image to lead to (if any))
Banner Group: (type 'Slide1' into the field below the drop-down menu).
Image: (mine is set to /home/sites/MY_SITE/public_html/banners/slide1.jpg)
Image Target (Save To): (mine is set to /home/sites/MY_SITE/public_html/banners/)
Click 'Update'

Repeat the 'New Banner' steps for each image, but increment the 'Banner Group' and 'Image' each time.
i.e.
'Slide2' & 'slide2.jpg'
'Slide3' & 'slide3.jpg'
etc.

Then try altering the themes (Configuration > ZX Slideshow) to see which you prefer.

Well, this works for me. Hopefully it will for you too.

Hello Sully,
Thank you for your response. However it did not fix the issue. The banner display groups listed under the layout settings were already blank. I moved the index_home.css to the classic/css folder. I then confirmed that my settings under the zx configs are setup right. Everything seems to be entered correctly. And the banner shows up on the home page great as well as the description. The only thing that doesn't work is the switching to other slides. I did confirm that I have multiple banners created and each banner has its own group. One slide1,slide2, slide3 ect. Again thanks for taking time time out to reply but unfortunately this didn't fix my issue.

You're welcome. Sorry it didn't work for you. I can't think of what else might help.

Your slideshow isn't loading because of a javascript conflict. It's explained in the documentation...
You need to find and remove EasySlider javascript and everything should be fine.
