ZX Slideshow support thread

welchyboy:

For some reason my slideshow is not changing. I have the newest version of zencart 1.5 as well as the newest version of zx 2.0.1. The slideshow shows up on my homepage like it should but doesn't change images. I created two banners, one with group slide1 and one with group slide2. I read through the forum the best I could but didn't see a solution. I apologize if this has already been mentioned. I did test and put both banners in slide1 group and refreshed a couple of times and they did both randomly appear like it should. I have both images with the same dimensions (230x307) I have put the code below in the index_home.css as mentioned in the forum to fix another issue. I could really use some advice on this issue. The site is bobs.leather.shop.com without the dots.

#slider {
width:230px;
height:307px;
margin:0 auto;
}

Your slideshow isn't loading because of a javascript conflict. It's explained in the documentation...
You need to find and remove EasySlider javascript and everything should be fine.

What about fix for caption opacity under IE?

All opacity settings in .css set to 0 but no luck - IE still shows the caption.

Best regards,
Radoslav

Did you set all 3 opacity lines to 0? How about adding !important to display:none; line?

Hello Balihr,
I appreciate you taking the time to assist. I followed the following thread... http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?195957-ZX-Slideshow-support-thread/page20

When I removed jscript_jquery.js file from /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript it started working. Thanks so much for the assistance!!!

Thank you for the update that you got it working after removing the conflicting file. :wink:

Can anyone tell me where the Documentation folder structure should be in the application structure?

Nowhere... You don't upload that directory nor need it on your server, it's there just for you to read it. :smile:

Hello,

I am using zen cart 1.39 and this seems to work great, thank you.

BUT two things

https://www.artonthevines.com/STL_Art_Classes/

I cannot get the caption to turn off--I have 0 entered in the admin configuration section but it still shows up. Also I tried just editing the css but it wont' let me do that either. Any idea why it won't turn off, I do have 0 entered?

Also for some reason the slideshow moves before it transitions, it moves up then transitions

any ideas?

thanks

!important did the trick! :)

Thanks!

hi all,

please be kind, first time posting but i was hoping someone could help me.

Effectively I have attached a picture which shows what my shop looks like. I basically want to get the slideshow into the white space.

I cant find anywhere to change the size or alignment

Any help would be great!

I just installed the ZX Slideshow. It appears to be having a problem maintaining a consistent image height. I have two images 700x257. The first display of the image the display width is correct. However every display after the first the height is reduced and only a partial display of the image. Has anyone had a problem like this?

Hiho to balihr... and audience :)

Downloaded and installed your great Slideshow today on my german Zencart 1.5 test Environment at home.

But there is a Problem with Internet-Explorer 9 and 10 (maybe older versions too, don´t know):
using the examble of http://awesomemoviestuff.com/ I can declare:

e.g. Firefox, Opera... the links will work and the target sites are shown,
Internet-Explorer (testing Version 9 and 10): no link is shown :(

source code is ok, so why the links are not working in MS-IE?:

<a href="http://localhost/index.php?main_page=redirect&action=banner&goto=12"><img src="images/banners/3.jpg" alt="GALAPAD 7" • brilliante Grafik durch TEGRA3 • € 189,90 inkl. 19% MwSt., inkl. Versand innerhalb Deutschlands" title=" GALAPAD 7" • brilliante Grafik durch TEGRA3 • € 189,90 inkl. 19% MwSt., inkl. Versand innerhalb Deutschlands " width="499" height="334" /></a>

Can you help all users with MS-IE ?

thanks
Thilo

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution at the moment, but do know what's causing it. You're using a fluid width theme and, although the slider is responsive, in reality it's not because it's limited by Zen Cart's native Banner Management system and that's what needs to be tweaked. I don't have the time to do it, but it's on my to-do list for future improvements.

For all those using fluid width templates: there's no other solution but to degrade to the older version of ZX Slideshow (v1.0) and use fixed width slides until I build the solution to utilize the responsive capabilities of the module. I don't have a release date, so thank you for your patience.

Hi Thilo! Und Willkommen bei Zen Cart!

This is actually a well known bug with Nivo Slider... Please download the attached file, extract it and replace the js file with the one on your site (in your case it's in includes/templates/classic/jscript directory).

Hiho balihr,
thanks for the ie-fix.

But that was not enough :no:

:: index_home.css ::
/* If an image is wrapped in a link /
.nivoSlider a.nivo-imageLink {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
width:100%;
height:100%;
border:0;
padding:0;
margin:0;
z-index:6;
display:none;
background:white; / !! /
filter:alpha(opacity=0); / !! /
opacity:0; / !! */
}

MS-IE needs the last 3 lines too, see latest Download vers. 3.2 from http://dev7studios.com/nivo-slider/

Now MS-IE can follow links.

Many thanks from
Thilo

Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can help.
I have recently installed zx slide show but nothing is appearing when I set zx slideshow to true. I have named the banners slide1, slide 2 etc but nothing seems to appear. All that has happened is that the image on the right of the home page (girl in red dress) has shifted to the right and made the page wider (you will notice that the main text now extends past the right hand margin).

Really all I want to do is have either the image of the red dress or the corset to fade into other images that I choose every couple of seconds.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks is advance,
john

I'm having an issue with MS-IE. The slideshow Caption opacity is set to 0 in admin and I've gone in to the index_home.css and set all the Opacities to 0 as well but the Caption is still showing at 100% (black) in IE. It's fine (invisible) in FF and Chrome.
Any thoughts please.

I had a previous version installed and uploaded all of the new files. Now when I try to install the sql patch, all I get is ```
WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

I ran the uninstall patch and it processed. But I still get the same error when trying to re-install the new patch.

contriveit:

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.
Doing a quick search for that error message in the FAQs brings up this article of the same title:
http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?311-warning-an-error-occurred-please-refresh-the-page-and-try-again

Thanks for that, but it seems like a lot of stuff that's over my head and would take a lot of time to troubleshoot. The previous version was working until I tried the update.

Besides, there's also an issue of the slideshow covering over the center content with no easy fix unless you're adept at moving banner locations. So alas, I think i'll just go back to a simplistic, generic, dependable java slider.
