Hi all,
I am trying to add a simple slide show to the welcome page .
I have found a script at dynamic drive and added the first part of the script to the customer/head.tpl
then I put the second part of the script
into the welcome.tpl
Initially I was getting a smarty error for the welcome.tpl and found a post where the problem was solved by adding {literal} {/literal} around the j/s
I tried that and although it eliminated the error message, the slide show still doesn't appear. ( shows as a blank area) on the page
I feel like one of the worst people in the forums as I am always looking for help , and haven't been able to return the favors given as I am still a really newbie with xcart, smartie, etc. Although I seem to be getting a little better at this I am amazed at how much there is to know and how proficient some here are at it.
I think the problem maybe what I have done in the welcome.tpl
Can someone please take a look at this and tell me whether this looks right to them, and if not what I need to do to correct it.
<td class="slideshowcontainer">
{literal}
<script type="text/javascript">
//new fadeshow(IMAGES_ARRAY_NAME, slideshow_width, slideshow_height, borderwidth, delay, pause (0=no, 1=yes), optionalRandomOrder)
new fadeshow(fadeimages, , 225, 0, 3000, 1, "R")
new fadeshow(fadeimages2, 140, 225, 0, 3000, 0)
</script>
{/literal}
</td>
If the problem isn't here, then is there some place other than the customer/home.tpl that the first part of the script should be placed ? Currently I have it in the head tag there. If not and the above looks like it should work I can post the part I am putting into the customer/home/tpl for someone to see.
As always many thanks to everyone and anyone that takes the time to reply. The help is really appreciated!
