ZX Slideshow support thread

[DivaVocals]

And I thought it would be rude of me to comment on that post... Not that I mind, but it really was bad taste. It would be much better if that plugin was contributed in the Plugins section and available for everyone to download from there. At least we would have one central place to download free stuff...

Nope.. the post itself was kinda rude IMHO.. My response was a LOT more toned down than what I originally wanted to say..

i uploaded all the files for zx slider onto my site and enabled it to true and added the pictures for the slides but nothing shows besides the number 1 in the blank white space where the slide should show right under the search bar

And yet another jQuery conflict...

First of all, you have tons of jQuery loading on your site - get that fixed. You're loading:
1) jQuery 1.7.1
2) jQuery 1.4.2
3) jQuery 1.7.1
4) jQuery 1.9.1
The best part is that one kills the other so in the end, browser uses only 1.9.1 and the first 3 are loaded for nothing...
Go to your includes/templates/e-ssentials/jscript and delete the following files:
jscript_1.7.1_jquery.js
jscript_jquery-1.4.2.min.js
jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js

Next, delete
jscript_easySlider.js
from the same directory because it's not being used. I believe you can delete jscript_jquery.cycle.all.min.js as well, but I'm not sure if it's being used somewhere else on your site...

Next, check inside includes/modules/pages/index/ and see if you have any .js files that would be loading anything related to slides and delete that.

And finally, you'll need to locate this piece of code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function(){   
				$("#slider").easySlider({
						auto: true, 
						continuous: true,
						numeric: true,
						firstShow : true,
						lastShow : true,
						controlsShow: true,
						speed: 800,
						pause: 4000
				});
	   });     
</script>

			<div id="slider">
                <ul>        
				                </ul>
			</div>

somewhere in your site (perhaps includes/templates/e-ssentials/common/tpl_header.php) and delete that code.

Once you remove all that conflicting code, ZX Slideshow will work.

You still have this piece of code that's showing up when I view your site's source code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function(){   
				$("#slider").easySlider({
						auto: true, 
						continuous: true,
						numeric: true,
						firstShow : true,
						lastShow : true,
						controlsShow: true,
						speed: 800,
						pause: 4000
				});
	   });     
</script>

			<div id="slider">
                <ul>        
				                </ul>
			</div>

That's causing a conflict and needs to be removed. If you're not sure where that code is located, you can try using the Developers Tool Kit (under admin->Tools). I recommend searching for just a part of the block, for example

$("#slider").easySlider(

was just going through my ftp to delete any slideshow files
i had a slide show that came with my template and what it was doing was in the tool panel it put two slideshow tabs and i started to get stacked images instead of a slide show and when i delete all the files for that slide show that came with my template then run the uninstall sql i get a failed message


but i took your advice and searched in the the developers tool kit and this is what i got after this step where do i take it from here ?

Notice how the DTK tells you the exact path where to look...

It seems that you didn't delete /includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_easySlider.js - you have to delete that.

Also, go to /includes/templates/e-ssentials/common/tpl_main_page.php and find that slider code there and delete it. I thought it was in tpl_header.php, but turns out it was in tpl_main_page.php... You never know where the template's author decides to put his/her code...

Hello, how would I go about placing this on my contact-us page?

Can I just copy the code from the tpl_index_default.php

<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php 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 } ?>    
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->

And then rename the CSS page contact-us.css

??

Or is it more complicated then that?

Thank you!
Jacob
