can't get Ultimate Fade-in slideshow v2.1 to work on main page

perkiekat:

ok. Here is what I have done from trying to follow what has been said here:
I am wanting to use this on one of my ezpages, therefore, I am not sure I have the two files uploaded in the correct areas. Here is where I have them:

templates/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE_NAME/common/jscript_fadeshow.php

and

includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_fadeshow.js

then...I placed the div tag <div id="fadeshow1"></div> in the ezpage...not working for me, therefore, I am sure I do not have these in the correct areas.

Can someone please let me know where I need to have the files?
Much appreciated in advance!

From what I am reading on the forum, EZPages are actually in db table...not good for what I am trying to do with this.
Ok...plan b...
I am going to try to place this in page_2 -- and will need to rename page 2 so it will say "About Company". Can anyone help me out with the structure of what I need to do here to rename page 2 and then place this slideshow in there?

If someone has a better idea I'm listening and please chime in and share your thoughts.
Thank you

First rename page_2 to whatever, eg about_company. Instructions about how to do that can be found elsewhere in the forums and and the FAQ's - it is not really the topic of this thread.

Once you have done that, refer to **post #5** or your own **post #10** in this thread.

Drop the script into folder includes/modules/pages/about_company/

(relative path should be includes/modules/pages/about_company/fadeslideshow.js)

There is nothing to edit in this script.

Then in the part that refers to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php change

wrapperid: "fadeshow1", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow

to

wrapperid: "fadeshowac", //ID of blank DIV on page to house Slideshow

Edit dimensions, displaymode, fadeduration, images etc accordingly.

Lastly use this empty div

<div id="fadeshowac"></div>

in your about_company template page

Thank you very much for your help. I truly appreciate it. Now I'm off to do the edits!

Glenn (gjh42) has submitted an updated (version 2.4) add-on mod to the Free Software Add Ons section.

A support thread can be found here:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172185

Post #46 of that thread outlines some details about v 2.4 - should be approved and ready for download shortly.

To avoid doubling up on threads I have decided that I will no longer attend to this thread (the one you are reading now) and suggest the devs close it.
