Nice mod again Phil
Can you please tell me:

1) Does this mod based on jQuery ? What is the size of script?
2) Does it support UTF characters text or it's using only images ?
3) This slider can be only run on home page ? or it's possible to run on different category pages with different sliders ?
4) Does it support HTML links ?

Hi Anandat,

1) Does this mod based on jQuery ? What is the size of script?

Yes, jQuery based, size is about 40k for the slider code.

2) Does it support UTF characters text or it's using only images ?

It's all image based.

3) This slider can be only run on home page ? or it's possible to run on different category pages with different sliders ?

You can display the slider wherever you like, but it will be the same wherever you place it.

4) Does it support HTML links ?

No, each slide has a hyperlink, that's it.

It's an image slider, but with extra layers for each slide

Without going into details, I would love to hear from anyone that has actually successfully installed this on 4.5.5.

After having no good results installing this on our live store, I installed a whole new stock development 4.5.5 system with no mods and a virgin database. I then followed the included directions veeerrryyy carefully - no love.

Hi Carl,

Have you actually got the slider to display on the homepage?
Have you got the slider admin page up and running?

Bear in mind, using the reboot template, install steps 8 and 9 will require you edit these templates...

Step 8 - skin/reboot/customer/home.tpl
Step 9 - skin/reboot/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Phil, the admin side works just fine - both on my live site and on the unmodded stock 4.5.5 admin side.

In both cases the "panel" never shows up on the public side of the site.

As I mentioned above in the last post, I have even gone as far as to create a development sub directory, install a fresh copy of XC 4.5.5, a virgin DB. I have not added on to or modified the dev site at all.

After simply following the install scripts/patch as outlined in the included directions, I have no success.

[PhilJ]

ok, have you...

- Created at least one slide with layers and enabled it
- Enabled the slider itself

Does this URL display anything? (you can use it to preview the slider even with the slider disabled in the settings) ...

www.yourstore.com/home.php?slider=preview

Yes to slide (used your samples), yes to enabled, and no - it does not show anything.

Just so you know, I currently am only attempting this on the virgin XC dev site I made. Not the live store. So I am willing to be the GP on this.

Let me know what to try. I was very carefull on the install to follow the steps. The dev site is not using the reBOOT either - just stock with the stock DB entries and no mods of any kind.

[PhilJ]

ok, PM'd you.

[Vacman]

Got it.
