Thank you very much guys !!!!

IT WOOOOORKS !!!!

...it worked in just two minutes : Problem was simply wrong default folder for the js file (or not defined).

Now, i moved all slideshow files + images in a unique folder at root and corrected the paths in only 5 minutes.

Maybe i should ask your help more early and not loose so much time turning around the problem by myself.

Just did not know that the default folder for execution of scripts is the root folder (thought it was near the file calling it)

Thank you again for sharing your knowledge guys !!!

Balinor,

I've just noticed that when i go for any other page than homepage, i get the error : "DIV ID wiht fadeshow1 not found on page !"

So, i reminded your post http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=193517&postcount=15 in reply to Fotodog where you adviced to insert a condition to call the slideshow to be displayed only onto the homepage.

First, as the code from my version is a little bit different i created a new js file (called callfadeslideshow.js) to move there all data related to the slideshow. However, differently to the path you specified ($skindir), i prefered to specify the same root directory where i have already stored fadeslideshow.js and images (to group all together).
It did not work... (btw is it allowed for a js file to call for another js file because v2.4 fadeslideshow has already one js file ?)


Then i tried to move callfadeslideshow.js to $skindir value as you stated... but problem is i'm not sure what is the current skindir (/skin ? /skin/2columns ? the one i'm currently using)... i tried both but could not have te slidshow working again, unfortunately

So, i restored my working code to customer/home.tpl and inserted your condition at first line and closed all existing code by the {/if} at the end.

I could not simplify it more while keeping my working code...

...but it still doesnt't work and this time i see in header just over the search bar :

{if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""} {/if}

which is the condition code in clear but without the scripts lines.

So, i don't understand again what happens here.

Can you help again, otherwise i get an error on any other page than homepage ?

I understand i have now to learn how js structure work in details to be able to go further...

Please help.
Thanks.

...i found myself : condition has to be outside of {literal}js code{/literal} now it works.

However, how to migrate the whole code into a js file to keep the home.tpl code clean ?

Can i call a the DD script fadeslideshow.js from another js file ?

Thanks.
