Hi,

Would just like to post how I got this to work.

Balihr was right this was a javascript script conflict.

The file that was effected was the following;

Includes >> Templates >> MY TEMPLATES (mobishop_blue) from 12leaves >> Jscript >>Jscript_menu_conf.js

With this file JSCRIPT_MENU_CONF.JS

I took out the following code;

$(window).load(function() {
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide",
animationSpeed: 300,
slideshowSpeed: 4000,
start: function(){ $(".flex-control-nav ").show(); }


});


$('.carousel').flexcarousel({
animation: "slide",
animationLoop: false,
itemWidth: 174,
itemMargin: 0,
controlNav: false
});

I think these refer to some kind of banner slideshow within the template.

I wanted to post my findings just incase somebody else comes across this problem.

Hi Dcharov,

I would like to know if you already fixed the problem with the second image changing size.

I just installed zx_slideshow and its working, but with the same problem you have, first image comes out perfect and the following reduce the height.

ver: 1.39h
template: abby_template
Mod: zen lightbox

Thanks!

I was hoping for a little help. I've uploaded all the files and ran the correct SQL patch (I'm using v1.3.8). The admin looks good and I have an image in the banners slide1 and slide2 banners. BUT, no slideshow. I can style with a wrapper (set to theme-light.slider-wrapper) but there's nothing there to style. I tried switching to the default (Green) ZC template to see if it had something to do with my template but still, nothing. If someone could take a look I would really appreciate it. I will leave the settings as is even though it looks a little odd. I had a custom tpl_index_default.php but the only difference between my old one and the ZX file is the <h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1> was commented out. It's uncommented now, that's the silly "Welcome..." heading.

Since the slideshow is disabled, I can't see what you have. But, did you use images with EXACT same dimensions? Width and height must be exactly the same for all images in used in the slideshow.

Hello balihr,
I hope you didn't spend much time on me. I found it, 100% my fault. I doubled up on a couple folders when uploading.

I put the /jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js into
/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript/
instead of /templates/MY_TEMPLATE/jscript/

I did this with a couple file somehow. Dope!

The mod works absolutely perfect, great job. Very easy install and great directions. I just messed up on my own.

I'm off to PayPal to contribute. Thanks again!

Balihr,
do you have a donation link you can share?
Thanks

I had alignment issues as well. However, since I have SO MANY plugins and numerous CSS files for all of these plugins, there were conflicts, and still are. Any way, i had to actually put this in to the index_home.css file:
theme-default .nivoSlider {
position:relative;
background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
margin-left:-.5em; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}
It's probablly redundant, code-wise..., but it seems to work.

This is a GREAT script, but it seems that with all scripts and multiple authors contributing to ZenCart... there are bound to be conflicts in CSS files as well as others.

You can check it out at: http://usaspaparts.com

P.S. Some day, (probablly well after I am long dead and gone), ALL of these plug-ins will hopefully be standard and ZenCart will be standard in such a way that... if you want "a plugin", you simply "click on it" in your control panel and it is installed without overwritting or changing any of your previous files or website orientation. (we can all dream.., right?) lol

Thanks all,
Danny
