No probs thought you'd be ok as it doesn't alter any of the zen core files.

I have submitted an update to this mod with the actual v2.4 fade-in slideshow. It includes some modifications to allow multiple languages for image descriptions, and control over which page(s) the slideshow appears on, all without touching any existing ZC files except for the necessary empty div to be added in the display location.

Hi All,

I downloaded Ultimate Fade In slideshow......but it is not working at all for me in Zencart 1.5. I'm new here, and hoping someone can help. I'm also using IE9. I followed the install instructions exactly, yet no joy. Any help greatly appreciated. I have 2 images that are uploaded in the correct images folder and put those into the text below. I'm really looking to have images fade in the center of my home page, and not so much in the header.

jscript_fade.js file

ar fadeimages=new Array()
//SET IMAGE PATHS. Extend or contract array as needed
fadeimages[0]=["images/imageone.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[1]=["images/imagetwo.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[2]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[3]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[4]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
fadeimages[5]=["images/YOUR_IMAGE.jpg", "", ""] //plain image syntax
var fadebgcolor="black"

I uploaded the tpl_header.php (below) to my folder........ includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common

Thanks

I was able to get it to work. I believe I had a corrupt .js file. I have 3 images and the first two display fine, but the 3rd only shows a box with a red X. I double checked the file name and all is fine there. Any advice? Also how can you center on your page off the "define_main_page"?

Thanks
OI

Learning as we go here......I found out the reason my other images weren't displaying is because the images in the .js file are case senstive to the actual file name.

Thanks
OI

jagall - Yes, the update is awaiting approval.

The updated version may be easier to display in the define_main_page area, since all you have to do is insert something like

The case sensitive script is a good example of why it is recommended to always use lowercase for filenames - it avoids errors like that.

Working on a new site V1.3.9. Ultimate fade-in is working great
except that I can't get it centered on my main page for
IE6 and 7. It is fine for all other browsers. I am using the

Thanks, John

Is there an example of how this works ?

See the main page of https://www.chilloutfashions.com.au

I'm not sure if this is possible, but if you install this in the header section of the page, is there a way to get it to only show up on the main (home) page and not every other page.

Check out this (my) site to see what I mean:

Just put the slideshow in the define_main_page and it should only show up on the main page

I thought that is where I had it. i will have to check. I might have put it in the header. I'll have to look again.

Go to Admin/tools/Defines Page Editor and select from the drop down box define_main_page.php
there you can put the code and any mods you want to do.

Take a look at **this post** - with special attention to the top of the quoted block of code where it says:

<?php
if($this_is_home_page){
?>
<script type="......(etc)...

Don't forget the closing** } **at the appropriate location in the script.

I also made a remark in that post that my slideshow was only to show on the home page - that remark is just above the code block.

Lets us know if you get stuck with this..

I was notified that I had to revise the submission because Dynamic Drive does not allow their files to be distributed from anywhere else (so the complete file package with all edits done correctly cannot be offered). [Note that this means the current mod conflicts with their rules.] I have been on the road for two weeks, but have the package almost done with revisions... largely making the readme more complicated to describe all the things you will have to do because I can't present them already integrated. I should be able to resubmit it in a day or two.

Thanks Glen. We do appreciate your efforts.

Just about evry addon in zen cart and osc that uses files from DD would also be in the same boat.
