ZX Slideshow support thread

Nope, still getting a little "loading" thing in the content area and actually I'm now seeing that it's all messed up when I got to my "about" and "the buzz" pages. I want the slide show to run on the home page only..

You're missing something and I'm not sure what... Can you post the content of your "includes/templates/mdd/templates/tpl_index_default.php" file?

Okay, that's where I went wrong...I deleted the wrong thing, but it's now gone! Thanks!

Now is there a way to have it work ONLY on the home page?

Argh, I forgot about that... Multitasking is never a good idea...

<?php if($this_is_home_page) { ?>
<!-- begin edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php if(ZX_SLIDESHOW_STATUS == 'true') { ?>
	<?php require($template->get_template_dir('zx_slideshow.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/zx_slideshow.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
<!-- end edit for ZX Slideshow -->
<?php } ?>

AMAZING! Thank you! I am so glad there are people in this world with special talent for this! I figure so much out on my own, but my head was about to explode with this one! Thank you so much!

Yeah, seems I'll have to put that in the next version. But, I'm afraid this might cause even more problems because in most cases, tpl_header.php is modified so they would still need to merge the code... If you have any suggestions, I'm willing to hear it. :smile:Just make sure the code is well commented so it's EASY to spot when merging the code, and put good notes in the readme to make sure folks know to use a file merging program.. Other than that there's not much more you can do.. Alo you might want to make additional options so that folks can turn the slideshow on only on the home page and make that also an admin configurable option.. (will help users have more available options while keeping them somewhat out of the code to get the options they want)

Hello! :)

Is there any way to remove the black line at the bottom and the text? So it's just pictures showing up?

Btw, using 1.5.0 zen cart :)

Thank you

I'm back hoping someone can help! If you go to my site in Chrome (I don't see this in Fire Fox) you can see broken images below the slide show and I'm not sure if they are connected to the slide show or I've done something else wrong to my site!

Oh dang... Didn't get any email notification...

Yes, you can remove the captions. Edit index_home.css and find captions (somewhere around line 438) and change ALL opacity settings to 0.

This has nothing to do with ZX Slideshow. Those seem to be leftovers from your previous slider. I can't tell for sure, but I believe it's all in your define_main_page.php file. Go to admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor and select define_main_page.php from the drop down menu. If you see some lines about coin slider, remove it all.

Your case is actually explained in the documentation and was not caused by ZX Slideshow... You're not loading libraries the proper way so there are jQuery conflicts (readme file, common issues, text in red :smile: ).

I can't say for sure because I don't have access to your code, but my guess is that you have a line in includes/templates/theme697/common/html_header.php that is loading jquery.js file. The simplest solution would be to simply delete jquery.js file, but that would cause an error in the requests so you really need to find the line which is including the jquery.js and remove that line. You should be fine after you do that. You will also get other jQuery scripts to work (for example, lightbox and tooltips) when you fix this.

I thought that may be an issue so I delted them and it still happens. The two files belong to an autocomplete search add on http://www.advancebydesign.com/software/zencart-modifications/zencart-add-ons-and-modules/search-box-auto-complete.html even with them deleted the issue still occurs. I would be happy to pm you any files you would want to take a look at

Don't PM me any files, please. That turns it all into private support with no benefit for the community.

Check your source code and notice line 74 - it's still loading the jquery.js file...

Ah, OK, just checked that autocomplete script...

Open includes/templates/theme697/jscript/jscript_jscac.php and remove ```

That should do it. :smile:

I must have tried that while something was broken. You hit the nail on the head. The scrips load in alphabetical order, if I change those to load after, would that work?

Just remove that one line. That autocomplete script probably presumes you're not loading jQuery at all so it loads it for itself. But, since you're loading jQuery much earlier with standard Zen Cart functions, you don't need to load it again. Don't make any other changes, just remove that one line.
