Front Page Slideshow - X-Cart Integration
 

Hello,

I am attempting to install Front Page Slideshow v1.7.2 into our x-cart store. I have followed the instructions but cannot get the slideshow to appear on the home page.

I have pasted the code below at /customer/main/welcome.tpl

Am I editing the incorrect page?

The instructions say find the page where you want to add the slideshow. Let's say this page is the index.php located at the root of your site as well. The code that you will use to call your slideshow is this:

<?php
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.hiphoptools.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/hiphopto/public_html"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.

// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
?>

Thank you.

I have followed what you said to do on the thread and obviously I am doing something wrong.

When someone comes to the site I would like them to see the slide show in the white part of the template above the welcome and the links.

Code..


{php}
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.komodogear.com/"; // Enter your site's URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/www/komodogear"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
{/php}

Do I have to place tags at the beginning and end of the code other then {php}

Thank you for your help
