Frontpage Slideshow [support thread]

[enochian]

Hi

I figured it out by the log file. In the file includes/extra_datafiles/slideshow.php I had to change this:

define('TABLE_SLIDESHOW', DB_PREFIX . 'Frontpage_slideshow');

to this:

define('TABLE_SLIDESHOW', DB_PREFIX . 'frontpage_slideshow');

Note: the 'f' in frontpage should be lower case not upper case

Thanks

Hi, i can not reproduce this error. There is no trailing space or open <?php tags, and in my admin i see no errors on a fresh install of ZC 1.5. Does it work if you ignore the error? Can you upload images?

Awesome Enochian! Glad you were having trouble too, thanks for solving it.

Now that you gave us the edited file correctly and Echion has made the capital letter change, it is working thanks and the error log has stopped happening.

Ok thank you both guys for mentioning errors. I could not see them at my end. I will post an updated version now.

It appears my links for the slide aren't working either.
And now I've had time to add extra slides, it only shows the border outline with no slide image.
If I reduce it to one slide only (like a static image) then it displays.

Yes you are correct about the links. In the version i uploaded i forgot to add the option to the configuration at the admin panel. It should be controlled from there.
I will add it to the next update i will submit soon.

Regarding the other issue, i am adding more than 5 images and they are displaying fine. What type of image are you uploading and what size?

If you or anyone else wants to add the functionality of enabling the linking of images you can run this SQL from your admin->tools->install SQL patches

SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT @configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Frontpage Slideshow'
LIMIT 1;
(NULL, 'Linkable Images', 'FRONTPAGE_SLIDESHOW_LINKSLIDES', 'false', 'Make the images point to the link provided from the Tools menu', @configuration_group_id, 12, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');

Just jpg of 50kb or so. Width is 672
I've tried 300 wide, but website scales it to 672

I have just fixed the bugs you mentioned and some CSS issues.
I submitted the updated version but i do not know how long it will take for a mod to approve it, so if you wish you can download it from my site here and tell me if there are any other problems.

Hello please be gentle as I am new to the forum but I have been searching for a solution to my problem without success and hope someone here can help I am using version 1.39h due to server limitations and I have installed frontpage slideshow version 2.0.2 all seems to be working except the fact that under Admin->tools nothing shows, so no Frontpage Slideshow so I can't add any images?

Just to clarify Frontpage Slideshow does appear under Admin->configuration
