ZX Slideshow support thread

[balihr]

On home page everything is fine script works great but when click another links, I cant see buttons and images sliding to different position, it looks like something is missing or css problem. what am i doing wrong? could you help me about this issue please?

This slideshow was intended to run ONLY on home page. If you want it to run on any other page, you'll need to move the block of code in tpl_index_default.php to another file, probably tpl_header.php (to run on all pages). You'll also need to load the css sitewide so you'll have to copy all content from index_home.css to stylesheet.css

But, do you REALLY want that to run on every inner page?

Well, then, I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can do for you without seeing your site's code. Sorry. My guess is there was some other type of customization done and it's preventing the slideshow files to load...

I tried the slide with HTML banners, it works but I can't get it to center. I wrapped the html code in <center> </center> it still didn't center.

Thank you for quick reply..
Actually I am trying to find out different and better views. But I think you're right.It doesnt make a sense.I ll try to configure this addon for dynamic product images such as (last added 10 products or best seller products.)
Thanks alot again..

Hi balihr, I solved my sql issue and now have your module working perfectly thank you, much sleeker and quicker than what I had. Just one wee question, how to I stop it showing the red blank slide?

I will assume that you want to center the slider. Edit index_home.css at line 93 and change to margin: 0 auto;
This is how that block should look like:

.theme-default .nivoSlider {
	position:relative;
	background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
    margin: 0 auto;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}

BTW, glad to hear you finally got it working.

Honestly, I don't think this is your best choice for products... If I were you, I'd use Scrollable from jquerytools.org - that's what I used for homepage Bestsellers on Jonamaria (link in signature) and I find it much better than Nivo for that purpose...

Glad to hear that.

Huh? What red blank slide? The code was written so that a slide doesn't show unless it's configured and enabled in the Banner Manager. Check if your banners are set properly and if there's something wrong there... (a link to your site would probably help me be more specific).

thanks for getting back to me. I think it is something to do with slider stopper Firebug on the 'red' slide revealed <a id="slider-stopper" href="#" class="nivo-imageLink" style="display: none;">Stop</a>. The slides themselves seem okay. Link to site here.

You have some code that I have no idea where it's from.

First of all, you have
includes/templates/sweet/jscript/startstop-slider.js
includes/templates/sweet/jscript/jscript_coin-slider.js
includes/templates/sweet/jscript/jscript_coin-slider.min.js

It seems that you've been using some very bad practice for loading javascript and/or css files so I suggest you start by cleaning that up. You obviously have some js paths hard coded in your html_header.php file, you have some duplicating scripts etc.

Anyway, this red slide that you're seeing is coming from something else that you have installed, this is not a part of ZX Slideshow. Once you clean up the mess, I'm sure this red slide will go away.

thanks balihr. yes you were right about the js conflict, removed it and now fine, wee bit slow to load. have cleaned up the js files, should i only have the jquery library files in the /mytemplate/jscript folder and put others in a js root folder? I have 10 slides and I notice it bumps up the hit counter on one click of the page but probably nothing can be done on this, after a while the hit counter gives kinda false interpretation but not really that important I suppose.
