Ultimate Fade-In Slidehow Support thread

Because of Dynamic Drive's rules, I could not put the entire correct content into jscript_fadeshow.js. You must "copy and paste the full content of fadeslideshow.js into jscript_fadeshow.js"... fadeslideshow.js is the DD file, and that includes the line referenced.

shags38:

found the images :blush:
I glad you did...cuz I sure can't.
Anyone got a direct link?

finally found 'em.

So now I got another problem (What else is new, right?)

I've been trying to get this to work on my local copy first but i'm really struggling with it.
Latest problem is that I can get the Admin to display but not the store itself.

All I get is a black page.

Short of removing this add-on ad starting over for the 100th time, I'm a bit perplexed.

Anyone able to throw me bone..... or a clue?

where did you find the images a link would be nice

The basic images are on the Dynamic Drive website. Again, their rules forbid including the images in the Zen Cart package, so everybody has to go there and download them for themselves. The location is given in the readme; look at the DD page.

Is there a way to put alt tags in the images used?

Thanks

I sometimes get this error on my homepage: DIV with ID "fadeshow1" not found on page.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks
Corey

Not without seeing your site live. Is there anything about the content that could change on different visits to the homepage? Where exactly did you place the empty div in your files?

Is there a way to put alt tags in the images used? You would need to alter the javascript to use the caption for each image as an alt tag, or further customize it to have an additional field for an alt tag.

I am trying to have the slideshow display in the banner position 3 but not show on certain pages. I seem to be having trouble with the statement.

What I have is this:

<?php if (!in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'product_info,shopping_cart,login,checkout,fec_confirmation,checkout_success')) ) { $flag_disable_banner = true; } ?>

Can you help point me in the right direction?

Any help would be appreciated.

if (!in_array(
``` This says "if not in array..." 
From the pagenames, it would seem you would want to hide the banner for the listed pages, so you would use ```php
if (in_array(
``` without the !

Glenn:

That's what I thought but when it didn't work I started to second guess myself. I don't know enough to have confidence in my code.

Anyway, removing the exclamation point may have fixed that part of the statement but it still does not work. I'm guessing that I am not calling out the banner correctly. I have tried banner, banners, bannerThree, and Wide-Banners all to no avail.

I would appreciate if you could guide me a little bit more.

I'm not familiar with banner function and coding, as I don't use them. Someone who has experience with them could probably answer better on this.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I have installed 2.4.1 and worked through the installation but nothing appears. Can anyone see where I am going wrong -

Thanks

Cancel that, went through it again from scratch and works now. Is good :)

Glad it's working now:) I didn't see anything obvious when I looked at it.

OK. I could use a guiding hand again.

I want to have a separate slideshow for each of my main categories. I got it figured out to get the same slideshow to appear in the main categories, but when I try to copy the code in includes/templates/my template/jscript/jscript_fadeshow_setup.php to create a new slideshow in one of the main category pages and insert the new div I get the following:

Error: DIV with ID fadeshow_ not found on page.

Here is the code I have been playing around with.

<?php if($category_parent) {// set any desired condition for each slideshow} ?> <?php /* if ($this_is_home_page) {$flag_disable_fadeshow2= true;//set any desired condition for each fadeshow} */ ?> <?php /* *if (!in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'main_page,Pool_Cues,shopping_cart,login,checkout,fec_confirmation,checkout_success')) ) { * $flag_disable_fadeshow1= true;} */ ?> <script type="text/javascript"> /* Ultimate Fade-in slideshow (v2.4) * Last updated: May 24th, 2010.

Hi, I am currently working on a development site that is hosted on my computer. I want to put the ultimate fade-in slideshow or something similar in the header area directly behind the company logo. Does anyone know if this can be accomplished? I believe I was able to do this once before, but it was years ago and I don't recall how I did it.

If it can be done, what file do I edit, what code should I use and where exactly should I put it? Also it has to be responsive. I tested out version 2.6.1 which is supposed to be responsive on the home page and it seems to work fine. Normally this code gets pasted on the page where you want the slideshow to show, but how do I get it work correctly in the header?

Thanks in advance for your any help you can give.
