Anyone can help? please?

Smarty is telling you the problem.. somewhere in the .tpl (on line 48 ) there is a "for" statement that isn't recognized. It may or may not have anything to do with the code that was added.

Just wanted to share a modification I made - so that the slideshow was FLUID WIDTH:

1. Created a new language label:
lbl_banner_rotator
and added the code from the original post (deleted space in "length")

2. placed a div tag around the code in the language label:

<div id="slideshow">
...
</div>

3. Added the following CSS to my altskin.css file:

#slideshow {
    width: 100%;
    position: relative;
    }

#slideshow img {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 1300px;
    min-width:800px;
    height: auto;
    min-height:300px;
    }

4. In /common_files/customer/main/welcome.tpl
I placed this:

 {$lng.lbl_banner_rotator}

just before this:

{$lng.txt_welcome}<br />

I'm using XCART 4.4.3 - www.sanjuansports.com/index.php

Useful things about this banner rotator:

- Your banners do not all have to be the same size as it allows you to specify a background and you can set the background to be the size of your largest banner.
- You can have as many banners as you like and you can specify where they link to.
- You can set the cycles of your rotator for as many times as you want or you can just set it continuous.
- You can set the rotator to randomize your banners or have them display in order.
- You can also set the time before the next banner must display.
- You can set it to pre-load all your banners or not.


**Hope someone would find this useful, you can display it anywhere on your site or even within a language variable.

Looks good Dan,

Just not sure how to embed this?

Can you tell me how to embed it right where the welcome_image.jpg is?
