Can someone post which files need to be modified...

It looks like to add the script code you need to modify

xcart/skin1/customer/home.tpl

The you need to add the <div > code to the welcome.tpl...

Is that correct...can someone post examples of from their site? That would help out a bunch.

Thanks
Ed

Hi Ed,

Hope this helps? Mine is placed in skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl and looks like this: (You just need to change URL of your site and if your server path is not the same as mine)

<div>
{php}
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "welcomeslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.yoursite.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/custom/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
{/php}
</div>
{/if}

Thanks Dan but it does not work. I can create a standalone php file and it works...but placing the php code in the tpl file errors out.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /home/cola/public_html/pearlimporters/xcart/var/templates_c/%%0B^0BD^0BD7ADFC%%welcome.tpl.php on line 17


I have installed fpss in my root directory

www/pearlimporters/fpss

Added the following lines to www/pearlimporters/xcart/skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl

<div>
{php}
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow";
// Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.pearlimporters.com";
// Enter your site's URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/cola/public_html/pearlimporters";
// Enter the root path of your site on the server.
// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
{/php}
</div>

No idea why but now it works using the following in the welcome.tpl file

{*
$Id: welcome.tpl,v 1.33 2008/10/30 17:57:31 max Exp $
vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:
*}
{php}
// START of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
$nameOfSlideshowToDisplay = "myslideshow"; // Enter the name of your slideshow. Slideshows are in folders inside /fpss/slideshows/.
$URLofyoursite = "http://www.pearlimporters.com"; // Enter your site's URL.
$AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite = "/home/cola/public_html/pearlimporters"; // Enter the root path of your site on the server.
// do not edit below this line
include_once($AbsoluteServerPathofyoursite."/fpss/mod_fpslideshow.php");
// END of "Frontpage Slideshow" settings
{/php}

Glad you got it sorted!

The dir. paths from person to person will always be different. The code I provided was where my files was located. If you don't mind me asking what else did you do different to make yours work?

Thank you everyone for this thread, I've been looking at different xcart banners but these frontpage and the css slider seem to be the ones.

I just purchased this banner tool but can not figure out why it doesn't seem to like my path info. Has anyone used this in the last 2 years?

I get this from the example.php page

Frontpage Slideshow (standalone)
