Frontpage Slideshow [support thread]

Or a SQL patch that can properly uninstall?

Or an install SQL patch that doesn't ask if the table is there or not, and just forces it there?

Nevermind, I got it back.
whew.
Probably never gave the admin interface enough time the 1st time around.
Time to make a backup. LOL.

Hi,

I altered my numerical images by turning the colour to match the background, quick and easy see www.brighter-smile.co.uk i just edited the /brighter-smile.co.uk/includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

#control_div{width:200px;height:18px;position:relative;left:200px;top:-50px;}
ol#controls{margin:1em 0;padding:0;height:00px;}
ol#controls li{margin:0 10px 0 0;padding:0;float:left;list-style:none;height:10px;line-height:10px;}
ol#controls li a{float:left;height:00px;line-height:0px;border:0px solid #ccc;background:#bcc0b1;color:#000;padding:0 10px;text-decoration:none;}
ol#controls li.current a{background:#7d0b0b;color:#ccc;}
ol#controls li a:focus, #prevBtn a:focus, #nextBtn a:focus{outline:none;}
</style>

I am pretty new to this but can get by and no doubt someone will have a better way of removing them altogether, I just wanted to update mine. I just used firebug in firefox to locate and try the changes and then committed when I was happy.hope it helps

Rather than put the styling inline in define_main_page.php, the style rules should go in your stylesheet (/includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css).

Someone asked this a while back...Is there a way to sort the slides without deleting all of them?
When you want to have the first one for promotion and change it often, it's not easy.
I have numbered them 1-10, but number 10 for example is in position 8.
Any idea how the sorting is...sorted?

Edit...it may be just taking the spot of the first available slot I think, but if someone can clarify about being able to sort anyway thanks.

Can anyone tell me how to change a slide show? I have no idea where to start...

If by change you mean, 'add' a slide, go to Tools/Slideshow in admin.
Browse for the image you'd like to insert, and add a link in the url field to a product.
To change speed etc, visit post 14 of this thread.
(if you do mean change slide, it is just beside Insert Slide. You use Remove Slide, then go back to Insert Slide)

Yes, I want to take out a slide and replace it with another. The only problem is I don't have a SLIDESHOW option on my TOOLS drop down box...I actually looked there because that is where the banners are. PS...thanks SO much for help! mcpisik.

Does that mean you've had this module installed and working before (because you need to change one), but now don't have it installed correctly?
I would have assumed it just wasn't installed properly/not all files copied etc....but if you already have a slide there...?
Perhaps look at whether it was installed correctly.
