ZX Slideshow support thread

[balihr]

I've setup zx slideshow dimension to exactly dimension of images, but first show the image larger ang then the image to default dimension.
This happens in the old version (the one I have in operation), in the new, and with all the different setting zx

Please read the documentation carefully...

First, images MUST have same dimensions. Second, the slider width and height should match the image dimensions. In your case, slider dimensions are set to 280x255px, first image is 219x200px and second image is 200x200px.

On IE slideshow works fine, but image are not clickable; on opera 12 slideshow is not working fine (image show at different size) but clickable; on chrome all works fine.

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,

I'm using zx slidershow 2.01. I got below problem while using this mod.

2. Image's bottom cannot be displayed in the slide and the height of images shown is change whenever it swaps to another slide.

Here's my website: http://zenprowear.com/shopasdf/

Appreciate if anyone could help. Thank you very much.

Hi

I am in the process of configuring the slideshow but have run into a problem.

I have followed the instructions carefully, installed the SQL for 1.3.9 (there were no problems) and created the 4 slides as images and kept their names (slide1, slide2, etc). I have also added the width and height to the .theme-default .nivoSlider { label on my CSS (index_home.css)

Which would work but now I have just a blank space. http://shaftdirect.com/ tells the whole story.

Please could anyone advise what I've missed?

Many thanks in advance

Debbie, this is something I missed when packing the contrib. Please go a few threads back and find a direct link to version 2.0.1 with a fix... It's still pending approval.

Joey, I didn't notice that some of the configuration settings have changed in the new version of Nivo slider so there are 2 settings in the configuration menu that are useless. If you want to hide the caption, you need to edit index_home.css file and find

.nivo-caption {
	position:absolute;
	left:0px;
	bottom:0px;
	background:#000;
	color:#fff;
	width:100%;
	z-index:8;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	opacity: 0.8;
	overflow: hidden;
	display: none;
	-moz-opacity: 0.8;
	filter:alpha(opacity=8);
	-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
	-moz-box-sizing: border-box;    /* Firefox, other Gecko */
	box-sizing: border-box;         /* Opera/IE 8+ */
}

Notice the part in red - you need to change that to 0 if you want to hide the captions...

Images - you MUST use images with same dimensions. This is mandatory.

The uninstall patch does NOT work for the original version as it won't remove database entries used by the old version. I'm afraid you'll need to remove those entries manually from the DB. Hint: it's the banner groups...

2.0.1 working great!

Are you going to add more themes?

Glad to hear it's working great for you!

No, I don't plan on adding more themes. The current themes are all from Nivo so, if they add more themes in the upcoming versions, I'll make sure I add it here.
