I don't think it's got anything to do with tpl_index_default.php but probably something else. I believe it's related to something else, but can't say what without seeing your site's code and debugging it. And that's beyond forum support, sorry.

no worries thanks balihr. I notice on the slideshow that it is trying load 11 images the first one is blank. In banner manager slide1 has been assigned an image but it would appear when going by the buttons that this is actually slide2?
Another issue which you may be able to shed some light on and that is that fact since installing ZX Slideshow my carousel sideboxes have stopped working, tried changing js files etc but nothing seems to work, I will be posting in the carousel thread also. thanks again sorry for being a pest.

I've copied everything as stated in the readme. However, when I tried to install the sql patch by copying and pasting the contents in the sql file, I
had gotten a 403 error.

I'm using zen cart 1.50

Got it...! I've installed the sql patch by uploading it instead of copying n pasting.

How can I move the position of the entire slider to right?

That shouldn't happen since it's only got 10 positions. I have no idea why it's happening.

Carousel is not working because you deleted or moved jscript/jquery.tools.min.js which runs it. Since there was obviously some bad practice coding done, I suggest you clean it all up and then continue. For example, you have jQuery loading from google (1.4.4) and from your server (1.7.1). jquertools path is hard coded - I know that's how the plugin originally comes, but you should fix that. Once you clean everything up, I believe you'll be error free.

You can edit the stylesheet and add some margin-left... Edit your index_home.css and find this:

.theme-default .nivoSlider {
	position:relative;
	background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
    margin-bottom:50px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}

Change to

.theme-default .nivoSlider {
	position:relative;
	background:#fff url("../images/loading.gif") no-repeat 50% 50%;
    margin-left:20px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 5px 0px #4a4a4a;
}

Of course, you can add any margins you like.

Hi, I have just installed this super slideshow but it doesn't seem to work correctly in Firefox (works perfectly in Chrome and IE). As you can see from my home page https://www.nameyourgift.ie there seems to be white space at the bottom and right of most images. However if I disable slide5 the slideshow displays as it should however I'm not sure why slide5 is causing the problem? All slides are exactly the same size i.e. 682 x 232. Its strange my slideshow works perfectly on all the other browsers....I would appreciate if anyone can help.

Many thanks

Noup. Resize your children_new.jpg to 682x232px and you should be fine... That image is currently 700x250px...

Have fun.

You are right..thanks Balihr. I was actually uploading the incorrect image all along!

Great mod, thanks balihr....not quite working for me yet though. I think my site (https://www.soccerinthecity.co.uk) likes the add on, but the ZX Slideshow configuration tool is not appearing in my admin. Been through the thread but yet to find anyone with a similar problem.

I think it may be connected with the Sql patach as, when I run it, I get "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again"

Thanks in advance for any help

You're using 1.5.0, right?

Did you run the SQL patch for 1.5.0 using Tools->Install SQL Patches? If so, then I'm guessing something went wrong so you might try Admin Page Registration manually. You'll need to check your database for the proper configuration_group ID (ZX Slideshow) and then manually register the page with these parameters:
Page Key: zxconfig
Page Name: BOX_CONFIGURATION_ZX_SLIDESHOW
Page Filename: FILENAME_CONFIGURATION
Page Parameters: gID=YOUR_CONFIGURATION_GROUP_ID
Menu: Configuration
Display on Menu: Check
Sort Order: YOUR_CONFIGURATION_GROUP_ID

Notice the red text. You'll need to replace that text with the configuration_group ID you found in the database.

yes, running 1.5.0. As for the rest of your instruction, you'll have to accept my apologies as I am a relative zen newby. Can you explain with a little more detail?

so you might try Admin Page Registration manually....specifically with regard to this as my research has failed so far

Hi balihr

Me on vacation, me slow reply... :smile:

OK, so, first of all, you'll need to access your database using phpMyAdmin and browse configuration_group table. It might be called zen_configuration_group or have any other prefix, doesn't matter, just find something that has configuration_group and browse it. The ZX Slideshow should be at the very end of the table. Check configuration_group_id column and see what id is associated with ZX Slideshow.

If ZX slideshow isn't there at all, then you either didn't run the SQL patch or something else is wrong and I can't help you through the forum. If it's there, move on.

Go to admin -> Admin Access Management -> Admin Page Registration. You will then see a list of fields which you'll need to fill as I described in my previous post and click insert. When that is done, you should have an entry in the Configuration menu.

It supports PNG files, I just tested on my demo install. However, keep in mind it doesn't support transparent PNGs - the slider is based on Nivo Slider and you can check their second FAQ here.

Thanks balihr, will try this over the weekend and report back, enjoy your vacation and thanks for your help
