ZX Slideshow support thread

balihr:

Glad to hear it's working great for you! :smile:

No, I don't plan on adding more themes. The current themes are all from Nivo so, if they add more themes in the upcoming versions, I'll make sure I add it here.
It's great that you can easily add multiple images in back office - great for not so technically advanced clients willing to play around with their shop.

Will definitely use it!

balihr:

The uninstall patch does NOT work for the original version as it won't remove database entries used by the old version. I'm afraid you'll need to remove those entries manually from the DB. Hint: it's the banner groups... :smile:

Got it :cheers:

Thanks balihr

The debug works perfectly. Funny how it takes so long for something to get approved. Its gotta be better than having a bug in the plugin. ;)

Hi all. I've installed some weeks ago Zen Cart 1.5.1
You can visit my test site here: http://shop.starmagazineamericanstatues.it
Yesterday I downloaded and installed ZX slideshow so I think that it's the last version.
An other module that i've installed is "zen lightbox v1.6.4_1.5"
I've created 3 banner in "Banner Manager" section and called: banner1, banner2 and banner3 and the 3 images have the same size in pixel. For these banners the banner group name are slide1, slide2 and slide3.
In "Layout settings" I left the default values. In "ZX Slideshow" settings I left the default values and I turned on "ZX Slideshow".

The slideshow doesn't appear. If I debug from browser I see this warning message

Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'show'

I've tried to use the default template but nothing change, same error :-(
What's wrong?
Can you help me?
Sorry for my bad english...
Thank's a lot.

Just check this thread a few pages back and you'll find a direct link to download version 2.0.1 from my server which has the fix - it's still pending approval.

Don't get me wrong, but would you PLEASE do me a favor and just READ that post which contains the download link or even a few more - it clearly says what to do and what's changed...
I'm OK with helping you solve a problem, but please don't be lazy to read the support thread and even do some research on your own - almost all questions have already been asked and most have been answered. Not just for this module, but for other stuff as well - this forum most likely has all the answers to your questions because the questions were already asked by someone else. You just need to put some effort in it and find it instead of expecting all solutions served to you exclusively...

I've read all 31 pages. After the modify to php file, slideshow is working. Thanks

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can assist me as I've spent far to long on this trying to get a resolution.

I have installed the zx slideshow on a fresh install of 1.51 I downloaded the latest version 2.01 from the developers server link a few pages back.

You can see the site here https://www.creative101.co.uk if I view the source of the home page I can see the code for the zx module and also see the image text which were loaded in to the admin banner module section.

It looks like the module is working in the background but I just cant seem to get it to appear on the front end.

Please could someone advice?

I'd say it's a javascript conflict, but can't say for sure. Try disabling all other jQuery scripts just to see how it reacts and what happens.

Hi,
Great contribution, just what i need ... but i have the following problem :
Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'show'
Can you explane me where is the problem :)
BRGDS,

I fixed the problem, but still have another one, the second slide change the height of the slide ..
And i didn't found the 2.01 version :/

2.01 here

Hi,

Would just like to post how I got this to work.

Balihr was right this was a javascript script conflict.

The file that was effected was the following;

Includes >> Templates >> MY TEMPLATES (mobishop_blue) from 12leaves >> Jscript >>Jscript_menu_conf.js

With this file JSCRIPT_MENU_CONF.JS

I took out the following code;

$(window).load(function() {
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide",
animationSpeed: 300,
slideshowSpeed: 4000,
start: function(){ $(".flex-control-nav ").show(); }

});

$('.carousel').flexcarousel({
 animation: "slide",
animationLoop: false,
itemWidth: 174,
itemMargin: 0,	
controlNav: false

});

I think these refer to some kind of banner slideshow within the template.

I wanted to post my findings just incase somebody else comes across this problem.

Hi Dcharov,

I would like to know if you already fixed the problem with the second image changing size.

I just installed zx_slideshow and its working, but with the same problem you have, first image comes out perfect and the following reduce the height.

ver: 1.39h
template: abby_template
Mod: zen lightbox

Thanks!

I was hoping for a little help. I've uploaded all the files and ran the correct SQL patch (I'm using v1.3.8). The admin looks good and I have an image in the banners slide1 and slide2 banners. BUT, no slideshow. I can style with a wrapper (set to theme-light.slider-wrapper) but there's nothing there to style. I tried switching to the default (Green) ZC template to see if it had something to do with my template but still, nothing. If someone could take a look I would really appreciate it. I will leave the settings as is even though it looks a little odd. I had a custom tpl_index_default.php but the only difference between my old one and the ZX file is the <h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1> was commented out. It's uncommented now, that's the silly "Welcome..." heading.

Since the slideshow is disabled, I can't see what you have. But, did you use images with EXACT same dimensions? Width and height must be exactly the same for all images in used in the slideshow.

Hello balihr,
I hope you didn't spend much time on me. I found it, 100% my fault. I doubled up on a couple folders when uploading.

I put the /jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js into
/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript/
instead of /templates/MY_TEMPLATE/jscript/

I did this with a couple file somehow. Dope! :blush:

The mod works absolutely perfect, great job. Very easy install and great directions. I just messed up on my own.

I'm off to PayPal to contribute. Thanks again!

Balihr,
do you have a donation link you can share?
Thanks

I had alignment issues as well. However, since I have SO MANY plugins and numerous CSS files for all of these plugins, there were conflicts, and still are. Any way, i had to actually put this in to the index_home.css file:
theme-default .nivoSlider {
position:relative;
background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
margin-left:-.5em; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}
It's probablly redundant, code-wise..., but it seems to work.

This is a **GREAT **script, but it seems that with all scripts and multiple authors contributing to ZenCart... there are bound to be conflicts in CSS files as well as others.

You can check it out at: http://usaspaparts.com

P.S. Some day, (probablly well after I am long dead and gone), ALL of these plug-ins will hopefully be standard and ZenCart will be standard in such a way that... if you want "a plugin", you simply "click on it" in your control panel and it is installed without overwritting or changing any of your previous files or website orientation. (we can all dream.., right?) lol

Thanks all,
Danny
