ZX Slideshow support thread

balihr:

:D And I thought it would be rude of me to comment on that post... Not that I mind, but it really was bad taste. It would be much better if that plugin was contributed in the Plugins section and available for everyone to download from there. At least we would have one central place to download free stuff...

Nope.. the post itself was kinda rude IMHO.. My response was a LOT more toned down than what I originally wanted to say..:laugh:

i uploaded all the files for zx slider onto my site and enabled it to true and added the pictures for the slides but nothing shows besides the number 1 in the blank white space where the slide should show right under the search bar

And yet another jQuery conflict... :smile:

First of all, you have tons of jQuery loading on your site - get that fixed. You're loading:

1. jQuery 1.7.1
2. jQuery 1.4.2
3. jQuery 1.7.1
4. jQuery 1.9.1
   The best part is that one kills the other so in the end, browser uses only 1.9.1 and the first 3 are loaded for nothing...
   Go to your includes/templates/e-ssentials/jscript and delete the following files:
   jscript_1.7.1_jquery.js
   jscript_jquery-1.4.2.min.js
   jscript_jquery-1.7.1.min.js

Next, delete
jscript_easySlider.js
from the same directory because it's not being used. I believe you can delete jscript_jquery.cycle.all.min.js as well, but I'm not sure if it's being used somewhere else on your site...

Next, check inside includes/modules/pages/index/ and see if you have any .js files that would be loading anything related to slides and delete that.

And finally, you'll need to locate this piece of code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function(){   
				$("#slider").easySlider({
						auto: true, 
						continuous: true,
						numeric: true,
						firstShow : true,
						lastShow : true,
						controlsShow: true,
						speed: 800,
						pause: 4000
				});
	   });     
</script>

			<div id="slider">
                <ul>        
				                </ul>
			</div>

somewhere in your site (perhaps includes/templates/e-ssentials/common/tpl_header.php) and delete that code.

Once you remove all that conflicting code, ZX Slideshow will work.

hey i did everything you said 
but that bit of code that you said would be in the tpl_header isnt in there

i deleted that strip from the deine_mainpage in the html inscludes

on my main page it shows only the next and prev buttons but barley still images dont pop up

https://www.jdmengineworld.com

You still have this piece of code that's showing up when I view your site's source code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function(){   
				$("#slider").easySlider({
						auto: true, 
						continuous: true,
						numeric: true,
						firstShow : true,
						lastShow : true,
						controlsShow: true,
						speed: 800,
						pause: 4000
				});
	   });     
</script>

			<div id="slider">
                <ul>        
				                </ul>
			</div>

That's causing a conflict and needs to be removed. If you're not sure where that code is located, you can try using the Developers Tool Kit (under admin->Tools). I recommend searching for just a part of the block, for example ```
$("#slider").easySlider(

i deleted that code
but had no luck before you sent me this reply then i deleted zx_slideshow i still plan on tryng to get it to work
was just going through my ftp to delete any slideshow files
i had a slide show that came with my template and what it was doing was in the tool panel it put two slideshow tabs and i started to get stacked images instead of a slide show and when i delete all the files for that slide show that came with my template then run the uninstall sql i get a failed message

but i took your advice and searched in the the developers tool kit and this is what i got after this step where do i take it from here ?

Notice how the DTK tells you the exact path where to look...

It seems that you didn't delete /includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_easySlider.js - you have to delete that.

Also, go to /includes/templates/e-ssentials/common/tpl_main_page.php and find that slider code there and delete it. I thought it was in tpl_header.php, but turns out it was in tpl_main_page.php... You never know where the template's author decides to put his/her code...

thanks alot for all your help it works now thank you for being very descriptive

Hello, how would I go about placing this on my contact-us page?

Can I just copy the code from the tpl_index_default.php

<!-- 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 -->

And then rename the CSS page contact-us.css

??

Or is it more complicated then that?

Thank you!
Jacob

Exactly - just take out the block of code for ZX Slideshow and put it in your tpl_contact_us_default.php. Also, note that you'll need to rename the CSS file to contact_us.css (not contact-us.css). And it should do the trick.

Can anyone help me with the bottom three boxes! The grey hover over is killing me! i tried changing all the opac to 0 and it did nothing. I would like the hover to show the same text with a different color etc. But at this point even if i can just make the hover transparent i would be find.
1fastdeal.com

on your file:
http://www.1fastdeal.com/includes/templates/theme764/css/stylesheet_tm.css
LINE 332
should be .banners_top div:hover a.title
add this below: opacity: 0.4;

Thanks for the quick reply! Can you also tell me how to remove the caption under the main picture?

Edit the following file:,

includes/templates/theme764/css/index_home.css

Find line 448 (.nivo-caption) and change:

display: none;

to

display: none !important;

Thank you once again:)

I just installed the ZX Slideshow and am trying to figure the uploading images process for banners. I have 3 different banners that I want in the footer and I went to Tools-Banner Manager. I then clicked New Banner. I inputed a Title (NRA) and my URL. Next is where I think I am having issues which is the Group. I tried creating my own group as titled footer and that did not work and then I tried slide1. When I did slide1 my front end store was all messed up. I couldn't scroll, I lost my text and no banner was present.

If anyone could point me to the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks
Mark

Hi
Can I use the slideshow on a side box manually created?
I do NOT want to do it using What's new, or features or specials.
Thanks

Of course you can use it in a sidebox - just move the ZX block of code from tpl_index_default.php to your custom sidebox template file and move everything from index_home.css to your main stylesheet.
I'm pretty sure there will be some extra styling required...

I thought I had lost the bullets (Numbered Navigation). However, I just upgraded from version 2.0 to 2.1 and see that when I set the "Slideshow Numbered Navigation", under the ZX Slideshow options, to "true", I can see the bullets. However, they are centered in the bottom of the picture instead of to the right and on top of the picture like it was originally. How can I move the numbered navigation (bullets)?
