Hi Vekia, your module looks very interesting but I can not make it work!

 

After installing a new PS 1.5.0, I added your module. The standard homeslider disappears and can not see one at the top.

So I change the changed the Width to 980 (the same size of images in the folder) as you can see in the attachment, nothing happens.

 

What did I do wrong?

Navid

[vekia]

for the first - remove the default module. After that - install my modification.

Then clear prestashop cache (or turn force compilation)

 

if it is possible - please share the url to your store - i will check the sources for potential css/js issues

[navid68]

Thanks vekia,

 

I followed your instructions and now it works!

 

I know there are explanation in the forum to move the home slider, but I am not a tech guy and prefer to avoid messing up with the code. Your module is the right solution (see attachment)

 

Thanks again

Navid

thanks for information that it works for you as you expect im glad that i could help, anyway, if you've got any questions related to this module - feel free to continue discussion - im here to help you

[navid68]

Just one question Vekia.

 

As your module replaces the standard homeslider, how can I put back the standard module in case I need the original layout?

 

Thanks again

Navid

[vekia]

in this case you have to remove (delete) modified module - then upload default one, for example, from official library

[Misobella]

I appreciate this FREE top banner/slider module enhancement for the default 1.5.4.1 theme. (I previously purchased a theme for a currently outdated prestashop version, so I'm sticking to the basics for now) Thanks!

 

1. I downloaded zip file to my computer

2. I went to advanced parameters>performance and turned off both caches.

3. I went to modules and uninstalled the current slider.

4. I uploaded the module then re-installed the image slider

 

Voila!

 

The slider stays on top even when you navigate throughout your website. Your 5 banner images must fit 300x980

Thank You! Will do

Hi there,

 

I tried the module and the outcome is great! For sure I would recommend this module.

 

@ Vekia I have some in question about your homeslider module.

• I edited the following code lines (into "bx_styles.css" file) in order to make the slider displayed in home page only: It works perfect, but I wonder if you can suggest a best practice instead of it
  

.bx-wrapper {
display: none;
margin-bottom:20px;
height:300px
}

body#index #page #header #header_right .bx-wrapper {
display: block;
}

• I'd like to edit the border around the slider window.
  I added the comand "border: 5px solid" on .bx-wrapper, but now the slider window is not fitted into the frame created (I'll attach the image).
  I believe I should modify some element.style but I don't know how to do it. Can you give a tip?
  

Thanks in advance,

Matteo

Edited July 21, 2013 by matteo_mont (see edit history)

[vekia]

it's better to use this:

 

1) open the homeslider.tpl file and add there if condition:

 

{if $page_name == 'index'}

TPL FILE CONTENT

{/if}

this is the proper method

 

 

second question

add border to the bx-windows

[matteo_mont]

Hi Vekia,

 

thanks for the quick reply.

 

about my question

1. I got the TPL file, but at which line should I add the code you provided?
   I mean... which part of the TPL file's code has to go in between the if condition you gave?
   
2. I added the border to the bx-windows but still the window isn't fitted into the frame.
   I think I have to make the width smaller than 980px but I don't know which file and line must be edited. Indeed once I reduce it into the "element.style" through firebug then the image fit 100%. (see the capture attached)
   Now where is this damned file? :-)
   

Thanks again,

Matteo

[vekia]

1) whole code

2) weirdy, is there any way to test your website? if so, please share the url i will do this with pleasure

[zee28]

Hi i replaced the homeslider module and the original one disappeared and the new one doesnt appear... i put force compilation on but still nothing..

[vekia]

Hi i replaced the homeslider module and the original one disappeared and the new one doesnt appear... i put force compilation on but still nothing..

 

reinstall the module. It's necessary

[zee28]

thanks!

[vekia]

thanks!

 

so it works?

[zee28]

yes but how can i get it to only appear on the homepage?

[vekia]

in this case you have define the exceptions

 

go to the modules > positions

 

search for "dispalyTop" modules list

 

click on edit button near the "home slider module"

 

define exceptions, add all fields instead the "index" - this is homepage

[matteo_mont]

Hi Vekia,

1. I edited the TPL file and it works: the slider is displayed only in homepage
   
2. At the moment the website is only in localhost. If you want I can copy it on dropbox and sharing the folder with you. By the way it is the prestashop 1.5.4.1 with no further code's customization. please contact me in private message if you can.
   I think the B.O. of your module take only action on the size of the images, but not on the window's size as it's fixed at 980px...
   

Cheers,

Matteo

[vekia]

that's right it is fixed, it's only modification of the default module - to support top section

[matteo_mont]

I understand, so no way to edit border and fit the image on it?

can you address me on how to modify the element.style's width?

 

Thanks a milion Vekia

 

Cheers,

Matteo

[vekia]

share the url, i will check it (i asked before )

[matteo_mont]

yes I know you already asked to me, but isn't online yet.

That's why I hope is possible take action on the element style, as a work-around. otherwise I can share a dropbox folder

[vekia]

well, everything depends on whole website, believe me

it's hard to debug things like this one without an access to the website via web browser

[matteo_mont]

I understand... :-(

any chance to take action on the element.style?

can you share some links or a guidelines?

 

thanks again for the support

[vekia]

take a look:

 

i just added border: 5px solid #000; to the bx-wrapper element. It looks well. So im convinced that in your case the problem is somewhere else.

 

try to use firebug extension and inspect the elements (main blocks of the slider) and search for something like: padding, margin

i think that these params making a white gap that you've got

[matteo_mont]

if I do that, then the module will be bigger than 980px and won't fit into the template

 

I you want test the website you can just add your module to the latest prestashop version 1.5.4.1

I didn't change anything else

[vekia]

one more question: ANYTHING? or anything in the module?

[matteo_mont]

ANYTHING!

:-)

[matteo_mont]

Hi Vekia,

 

I installed again prestashop (1.5.4.1) and your homeslider module.

I regret to inform you it's not working, still not possible change the window's width...

[vekia]

it is necessary to change the css styles of the module. there is no other way at the moment.

moreover, with default template it is also necessary to change the css styles if you want to use module in the top hook.

[matteo_mont]

Hi Vekia,

 

the only css file I think is bx_styles in homeslider folder, But I'm afraid I should change element.style and I can't understand where is it, can you help me please.

 

Cheers,

Matteo

[ismiley]

hello

please write in english here, it's a english forum subsection

[bettiebee]

Hi

 

Just reading this thread as I was hoping it would help me.

 

I've got version 1.5.4.1 and want to make my image slider smaller. I've changed it in the module, and made my slides the smaller size, but it's not any smaller.

 

I've moved it down to where I want it, but just want it 496 x 248 now so it fits better with everything else.

 

My site is www.wightprincesses.co.uk, but it's not quite live yet.

[vekia]

unfortunately your store is under the maintenance mode

[bettiebee]

unfortunately your store is under the maintenance mode

 

I've changed it for you.

[vekia]

you use module from this thread? or it is default, non changed module?

[bettiebee]

I'm using the original at the moment, but didn't know which was easiest to change the size of.

 

I need some advice.

[vekia]

so please create new thread, this whole topic is related to the modified slider module,

sorry to bother you, but this module is a bit different

[S3V]

Is possible to change the Animation Effect? (sliceDownLeft, sliceUpDown, etc) Like minicslider.

[vekia]

this module is based on bxslider: http://bxslider.com/examples

 

you can change animation types by editing the main .js script of this module

 

General

 

mode

Type of transition between slides

default: 'horizontal'

options: 'horizontal', 'vertical', 'fade'

[S3V]

Thanks, lets see what i can do.

[vekia]

if you will have any questions - feel free to write, i changed animation type several times and it works well

[bettiebee]

if you will have any questions - feel free to write, i changed animation type several times and it works well

 

what changes do I make to the js. script to make it fade ? I changed the 'horizontal' near the top of it, but I guess there's more to do than that . . .

[vekia]

open homeslider.js file located in /js/ subdirectory (in module dir)

 

add mode: 'fade',

$('#homeslider').bxSlider({
 infiniteLoop: homeslider_loop,
 hideControlOnEnd: true,
 pager: true,
 autoHover: true,
 auto: homeslider_loop,
 speed: homeslider_speed,
 pause: homeslider_pause,
 controls: false,
 mode: 'fade'
});

[bettiebee]

Thank you

 

So, I add all of that rather than alter the content of the file ?

[vekia]

hmm just add simple mode: 'fade' settings to the function that i mentioned above

that's all

[Tayo]

Earlier you mentioned that to reinstall the original imageslider you have to first delete this module and  "then upload default one, for example, from official library". I have been looking but cannot find the default module Imageslider. Do you have a link to the 'official library'?

[vekia]

here it is: https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/tree/development/modules/homeslider

[Tayo]

thanks!

[bongkokxx]

Hi, this is a great module. However is it possible to transplant this module into displayheader instead of displaytop? I tried to transplant it in module position and it returned an error.

 

Thanks

[vekia]

display header is not a section for displaying contents.

displayHeader is a section where all jquery js css files are attached.

Hi Vekia, thanks for your prompt response. Sorry I must have mistaken the displayheader for something else. Could you please take a look my website in *********? I want to put the image slider in the blank spot below the top horizontal menu. Is this possible? 

 

Thanks

[vekia]

i don't know sources of this theme. When you install this module, where it appears?

[mftanet]

Hi ,

Great job with the module. Is there a way to be displayed in top position, but behind the cart and other fixed nonpositional element in the top.

thanks,

[vekia]

[Critycal]

Great job! 

Everything works fine for me, thanks

[treka555]

[vekia]

/homeslider/ but you don't have to remove it. just upload new version and that's all.

[treka555]

Prestashop 1.5.6.1 - 1.5.6.2 (Written with Google Translate)

Greetings Vekia;
Thank you very much for this module. I tried it and it works perfect.
I have a question: is possible to position the Homeslider in the way that I put in the attached image? (keeping the three columns Prestashop default.)

Thank you very much.

[vekia]

it is possible, but... i've got quesiton

you want to display slider only on homepage? or also on other pages too? everything depends on it!

Ps. 1.5.6.1 - 1.5.6.2 (Written with Google Translate).

 

Hello, greetings . Homeslider normal behavior, namely, appears on every page and one adds the exceptions in the module configuration.

 

Thanks

[vekia]

but in this case it will not be as easy as it seems, it's because, the easiest solution with display home will allow to show slider only on homepage.

modification like you want need customization of theme file (header.tpl and footer.tpl)

I thought it was easier homeslider normal operation but if there is a simpler solution that works only on the main page is welcome.

   

I have not seen modules (free or paid) that include this position in the display options.

I reinstalled it & made force compilation but no luck

 

How can i get it worked or how to revert back to the default slider?
