ZX Slideshow support thread

[DK_Scully]

Okay, something's still not right. I changed the images to 300 px tall and re-uploaded them to the banners directory, but they're still coming out huge (and now fuzzy) on the slideshow. So I completely deleted all the banners and tried again. Same problem.

Next I opened index_home.css (in your installation files and in the one I downloaded from the server) in hopes of finding a line that allows me to specify the height of the images. No joy. There are a bunch of different "height:" lines, but none of them seem to deal with the height of the actual image.

Also I tried to open includes/templates/z_main_smart/index_home.css, per your instructions...but there isn't any such file!

Please help? Thanks!!

Through massive experimentation and a LOT of blind luck, I finally found it. For anyone who needs to know the answer to this puzzle, I hope this helps.

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/index_home.css

Lines 390-395

.nivoSlider {
position:relative;
width:40%;
height:auto;
left:160px;
overflow: hidden;

Width:40 shrinks the size of the graphic; left:160px centers it (at least on my template--it might be slightly different on other ones).

Hello Everyone,
I need some help, just installed ZX Slideshow, setup the slides in Banner Manager, but they don't move, it just stays on the first slide.
I've double checked I have all the correct files in the proper locations.
Has anyone had this issue before?

Please provide a link to your site, everything else is like shooting in the dark.

My guess is it's a jQuery conflict, but I can't tell for sure without seeing the site.

Hi balihr,

My site URL is ap4u.com.au

It works just fine for me... Did you perhaps put your mouse over it - that pauses the slides. Can't think of anything else...

That is very nice contribution. It works perfect 1.54. Now I got a problem. That is when a customer create an account or login, the customer greeting is below the slideshow. How can I put the customer greeting above it? Many thannks

It's probably just a matter of editing your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php file - move the ZX Slideshow block below the greeting block. So, instead of having:

<!-- 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 -->

<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<h2 class="greeting"><?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?></h2>
<?php } ?>

you should have something like:

<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<h2 class="greeting"><?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?></h2>
<?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 -->

Same edit would apply to tpl_index_categories.php if you have categories displaying on main page.

Hello, I've installed this and I am getting nothing showing at all.

FYI, I have had my store up for a while and I have made most of the changes myself, over time, so they are probably not all done correctly. Hopefully you can help me figure this out.

Hi all, is there a simple way to change the Banner Title Text Color to match the image better? I am using Zencart V1.5.4. Thanks.
