Frontpage Slideshow [support thread]

[rogerd]

I have installed this MOD "out of the box" and renamed the files to represent my template and admin etc, also updated the database.

I created 3 entries (picture width 176px, height 250px) but they do not SLIDE, they apear underneath one another.

What have I done wrong?

How can I get it to display as a slideshow?

I had the same problem. Make sure you don't have more than one jquery library file in the includes/templates/your_template/jscript folder.

Just use the jscript_1.7.1_jquery.js file ONLY then it should work.

The position of the red stamp like image that shows up under the price (if you have that active...) is controlled by the price class in the css near the top of the define_main_page.
Mine was in the lower left when it showed up with the setting:

.price{
    position: relative;
    top: -35%;
    left: 0;
}

I did throw this up on my live store while I'm working on the new one if you want to check it out - HERE

Could you please tell me how to turn off the stamp? I didn't spot a control for it. Thanks...

You can turn of the stamp off by changing the code to :

.price{
position: relative;
top: -35%;
left: 0;
display: none;
}


I have 3 questions guys:

1) If you look at my slideshow at www.circlebooks.nl, you can see that the images are somehow pre loading, so you see them first in a row desplayed. Just for a second, and then it's normal in the slideshow. I don't see this hapening on other sites in this topic. Can someone help me out?

2) My website is in two languages so i would like to have two different slideshows because of images in different languages.. Can this be done?

3) How can i make the images non linking?

You can turn of the stamp off by changing the code to :

.price{
position: relative;
top: -35%;
left: 0;
display: none;
}

I tried that but have just found all prices from my site disappeared.
Perhaps I'm editing the wrong file?
I just want that red stamp gone, not the website prices....

Hi there, I'm having the same problem as the others- with the images stacking on top of each other. I don't think I'm running any conflicting js, but??? I'm on the 1.5,I've check for javascript files in the front end of the store thru the developers tool kit and only have these two:

includes/general.js
includes/menu.js

here is my test site if you wanna look at it, see what up or what it looks like.... sounds like you maybe can see real easy where my error is by checking it out.

I have a problem with none of the slides being displayed, I followed the instructions and couldn't find anything related to set up the slide in define main page or things like that so I assume it gets inserted by a script, for some reason the slideshow is not show showing, I just did a single image to test the looks, but nothing is shown, where do I have to look to fix this? I double checked all the paths and everything looks fine except the slide is not displayed ...

Found the problem myself there was a missing language file, that adds the content to the custom define_main_page, but I still have a problem, I modified the css and even if I changed the width the slider is truncated, I mean these lines >>> #slider li, #slider2 li{/*define width and height of list item (slide) entire slider area will adjust according to the parameters provided here */width:864px;height:340px;overflow:hidden;}
They suppose to define the width but they are not working

I have the same problem mentioned before by other members, that is the jquery script seems not to work properly, as the images are stacked on top of each other.
I am not very familiar with jquery, but there are several libraries under /libs if you want to check what it looks like just click the link below to my store.

I have this installed on 1.39h and it works great.
Can anyone tell me how to remove the navigation numerical images?
Not sure what to remove, I assume from the stylesheet_slider.css ?
Thanks

I had this plugin working great for months on 1.5.0.

But my finger got excited, and I erased some of the mainpage sourcecode somehow.

So it was then corrupt-looking on website.

So I am trying to uninstall & re-install.

Uninstall only states "fail"
Install won't allow ... because slideshow table is still in the DB (because uninstall will not remove it)

Help please, lol.

Can someone give me the mainpage slideshow sourcecode, so I can cure it?
Thanks.
