ZX Slideshow support thread

[balihr]

However, having a linked image in ZX flashed the whole box the same colour. Turning off hover background stopped this but obviously now I cannot have background colours on text links AND linked images in ZX.

Any tips on how I could force background transparent on ZX links and leave the main site links as I had it?

Add this to your index_home.css (or stylesheet.css)

.nivoSlider a:hover {
	background:none !important;
}

I'm glad to hear you like the plugin.

Absolute champion buddy!

Thanks for your help.
I installed the files in the Classic template and switched to it but still absolutely nothing. ZX Slideshow is configured TRUE. I carefully dragged each file to it's corresponding folder using Filezilla.
I only had two folders below my Custom folder. I had to add "jscript" and "templates" then add the files to them.
I did notice that there is a tpl_index_default.php file in the template_default folder which I think is irrelevant but I renamed it anyway and nothing changed.

Unless I am doing something blatently wrong with these files I can't imagine why the script won't load.
I also tried using Chrome but the same thing happens.

I may have to abandon this idea and move on. I was really hoping to make this work.

Thanks again for looking into it and responding!

I have no idea what you're doing wrong, but I'm absolutely certain you're falling on something trivial. Check your Private Message, please.

Balihr you Rock!
Funny thing is removing categories from my main page was on my list of things to do as I modify and build the site.
Thanks so much for your help. I will be looking forward to future updates!

Just to keep everyone else updated: wesatspice's problem was caused by having categories displayed on main page. If you go to "Configuration->Layout Settings->Categories - Always Show on Main Page" and turn it to ON, ZX Slideshow will not work. There is a workaround, though, but I don't have the time to explain it right now.

Balihr, Just wondering if you have any plans to add URL click through to the individual slides that would take the customer to an associated page.
