ZX Slideshow support thread

[balihr]

Not too sure what went wrong but I got a bordered white box after install on 1.39h with the following plugins
(recover cart, edit orders, ty package tracker, SEO URLS, Sitmaps XML, Image Handler 2)
The ZX SlideShow is set on flase in my admin.

No files were overwritten so this is strange to me. Am I overlooking something?
Thanks for the help if someone can shed some light.

Here is the site:

This is a well known bug in the module... I really need to submit an updated version...

Find your includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_index_default.php and change

<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == true) { ?>

to

<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>

Currently, the on/off switch doesn't work until you make this change.

I guess it was me who gave that code you used...

Try this instead:

<?php
if($this_is_home_page) {
        if (ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
        <?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php }
}?>

Perfect, thank you so much

OK, here's a solution on how to center ZX Slideshow for all those interested:

Go to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/index_home.css and find lines 90-97. Originally, this is how it looks:

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

Now, simply change the code in red with margins of your choice. For those who don't know, the numbers represent "top right bottom left". Change it to something like this if you want the slideshow to be centered:

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

This is it, your slideshow should now be centered.

I tried the above code to center the slideshow but it doesnt work. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
My website is a is a "fluid" width site, meaning that its width changes as your customers' browser
width changes.

So on my laptop my slideshow looks center and looks fine but if I go to my desktop which wider screen the slideshow shows only to the left leaving a empty space on the right side.

Can anyone help me... I been at this for a week now and at this point don't know how to fix it. just in case website is secretofbelieving.com

Please replace the file includes/templates/cherry_zen/jscript/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js with the one attached (unzip first), clear your cache and see if it works for you. Keep in mind that your images MUST have the same dimensions! Let us all know if it helps you.

I have just submitted an updated version for approval.

All previous bugs are fixed (I hope) and there are some new features - the slider is now responsive and comes with 4 themes to choose from in the admin section. SQL files have also been updated to avoid duplicate entries in case you run the patches more than once. Uninstall SQL files are also available.

If anyone wants to get the new version before it's approved, you're welcome to contact me and I'll send it over.

Hi!

After one day exploring, still can't get it work.

- Page loads all files that needed css+javascript
- I have uploaded 2 banners grouped slide1 and slide2

But nothing shows up.
When I configure Banner Display Groups - Header Position 3 -> slide1:slide2, I see these banners randomly as supposed. But not by the slider.
Has the modul anything to do with boxes or layout setting configuration?

There must be something I've missed. Any ideas?

Notice the part in red - this is what I don't understand. You should NOT do anything there. Don't use any original positions for the slider. All configuration is done under Configuration->ZX Slideshow entry and nowhere else.
So, for starters, remove those entries and restore the settings in ZX Slideshow back to default and then try again.

Thanx for replay :)
I know I have overdone some things, but only because I looked for the problem :) Just to see my new banner groups "slide1" and "slide2" are working
Now I removed slide groups from layout settings. And ZX Slideshow setting are default... I never changed these, only activated.
But, still nothing

Can you send a screenshot of your ZX Slideshow config page AND your Banner Manager page?
