Looking for a tutorial to integrate EasySlider 1.7

Hi, I am just looking to play. I have seen some Zen Cart websites use EasySlider 1.7.

I am looking for a tutorial on how to implement this into a Zen Cart site.

But sadly i cannot find any information either on this site or on the Internet, with the exception of a tutorial on TemplateMonster, Which i know have a bad reputation as hacking to core files to achieve something.

Can anyone help and guide on this?
Thanks
Ray

I have been trudging along exceptionally well until today. I have been trying to get a scrolling banner/ad-box to work on my main page.php. I can get Banner3 set as Wide_Banners to show a banner exactly where I want it. However I cannot find a free module that will scroll (All that I have tried either are outdated and do not work or do not suit my needs).

This template has the exact banner scroller on its main page that I have been bashing my head into to a wall to get (with no avail).

"E-Store Now V1.0"

Also this website has the same thing I am looking for

"DIYTACTICAL.com"

Why are these banners sitting everywhere but no one has loaded one into the free module section since 2007? Is there a way to separate the scrolling box from he e-store template and use it by itself?

My website is
GroundLabTactical.com
GroundLabTactical.com/Shop

Someone else, possibly picaflor-azul, used the same slider in a template, and I think she said where it came from in the support thread for it.

Thank you very much for the tip!

EasySlider 1.5/1.7 (http://cssglobe.com/post/5780/easy-slider-17-numeric-navigation-jquery-slider)

Not sure why its not posted in the free section would have been nice as everything there is out of date.

I'm looking for the same.

Alright now that I understand that there are many "Jquery slideshow css desgin things"

None are built specifically for Zen Cart. There are no instructions (that I can find) on how to use this.

Any help actually using this would be great or a another hint.

I haven't used it myself, but there are instructions in the wiki on loading js without editing template files, and threads here on the subject. The Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow would probably be a good guide for the steps to take.

You are amazingly helpful.

Thankyou much for the fast reply and wealth of knowledge.

(Trying to learn mybb,zencart,wordpress, google seo, taxes, wholesale accounts, trade shows all at the same time is getting to be a bit nuts.)

If anyone knows how to integrate easyslider vers. 1.7 I would very much like to know how.

The ultimate fade .js is not bad but the easyslider is everything that is needed.

Is anybody capable of writing a how to? Seems to be a common problem for most folks.

Searched and searched. Not much documented about this. There have been a few threads but they all die. I have recently seen a lot of other users' sites using this function and I just need some help.

I downloaded the files from the Easy Slider site. But there is a css file (which I just assume that I put in my current .css), there are images (which I would just put my slider images in there - guessing), but then there is a folder of two js programs. Where do I put these? Where my index is located?

I like the script and I am ready to install it, I am just really unsure how to begin this process.

Any help is appreciated

I could do with finding out how to do this too... :huh:

this will give you a good start

Thanks for the suggestion but they don't have it :( been doing my head in for 2 days and nights

I've done everything I'm supposed to. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Uploaded style_slider.css to includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/css/style_slider.css

2. Uploaded jscript_jquery.js to includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/jscript/

3. Copied the contents of jscript_easySlider.js to a new document edited with notepad and renamed it to jscript_easySlider.php, then I uploaded it to /public_html/includes/modules/pages/index

4. Uploaded the images I wanted to show to includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/images/

5. I went to the define_main_page through Define Pages Editor and copy pasted below:

		</ul>
	</div>

Now instead of sliding, the images are cascading. Don't know where did I go wrong with this? Can anyone enlighten me please? My page is http://pinkoholic.co.uk :cry:

Hi Caska, sorry about the issues you have had not being able to get to the tutorial for the last couple of days.
The site is back up now, please let me know if you need any help.

Wow it finally works. Thanks very very much for your easy to follow guide. Turned out I've uploaded the files to the wrong dir all these times. Thanks again!

I have looked Kerrin's tutorial and it was very clear, although I am having a tiny problem. I am showing 7 images, yet I only have the 5 listed in the define_main_page. Is there code somewhere else I have to change? I set the slider to run continuos, which removed the numbers from the slider, but the slider still tries to display 7 images. It shows one twice, and a blank screen once.
