2011PIM-oscSlideshow1.1 – osCommerce Slideshow Gallery Add-on with Admin Panel for osCommerce 2.3.1 Store
Tags: osCommerce | PIM-oscSlideshowPIM-oscSlideshow1.1 is the updated version for osCommerce v2.3.1. If your store is an earlier version than this, please refer to the PIM-oscSlideshow1.0 on this post.
A while back, I needed Slideshow image gallery on the home page in one of the osCommerce based store I was developing. I searched everywhere but could not find any, so I ended up developing it on my own and after lot of effort and spending some time, I have put all this together as a Contribution for community to use.
PIM-oscSlideshow will add a slideshow gallery on the home page of your osCommerce store and will add a slideshow section inside your osCommerce Admin panel under Catalog > Slideshow to manage and add slides.
Although I have developed the admin and front-end php part on my own, I have selected and used easySlider1.7 for the front end Slideshow, I take no credit for that which is entirely created by Alen – all credit to him.
if you do not want to use the easySlider as front-end slider, you can easily choose another. I have only included easySlider and jquery files this in the package for that vast majority of users who might not or can not find the required files. Any other slide show such as s3Slider or Nivo Slider can be used with this add-on. I will release another version soon with a flash front-end slideshow.
What this contribution does?
- Creates a slideshow on your osCommerce store front page
- Creates a section slideshow under Catalog inside osCommerce Admin panel
- I have selected easySlider as slideshow script to use with it which has lot of options on its own, but you can replace it with any other gallery script if you want.
Download Package
In this distribution, you will find the following files:
- slideshow.sql DB script to create “slideshow” table

PIM-oscSlideshow1.1 Add-on Support
I wanted to create support thread on osCommerce forums, but due to time constraints, I can only check and post regularly at one place and this is why I have chosen this blog post which I have to check in any case. So for all intents and purposes, this post will become the support thread for PIM-oscSlideshow contribution.
Installation
EASY – 30 minute job!!
Just upload the files in catalog/ to their respective directories in your oscommerce store.
Also make changes in the files described in the Installation Guide for the front end and admin panel updates.
With the package, I have also provided an installation guide in pdf format, please refer to that before posting any questions.
Make sure you download the full package from the latest post (PIM-oscSlideshow1.1) on the contribution page.
Hope this Add-on will fix the issues for osc v2.3.1 store.
Cheers!
UPDATE: There’s better Slider (premium) available now which has much more features.

Hello, I have a problem with the slideshow:
The site has three languages, English. German and greek. I see the slide show on the German side only. Where I’ve got a bug?
Thanks in advance
Ali Qureshi
This is not bug rather as mentioned earlier in previous comments, this Slideshow only supports one language.
However I have developed another slideshow (this is not free version) and almost done with testing which supports Multi-lingual and many other features which are not available in free version. This slideshow uses Nivo Slider on front-end. I will post it’s demo tomorrow online for you to see.

Here’s the new version of osCommerce Slider with lot more features including multi-lingual support. It uses Nivo Slider jQuery Plugin to animate and slide images.

Ali Qureshi
For Nivo slider to work with this mod, there’s is lot of code to change. I have made it available in a separate pro version. YOu may want to check that.

But when i goes to banner manager there i add pics but the slide does not work
What must i do
Ali Qureshi
Please double check and redo the steps listed in the Installation Guide. You must have skipped some thing.

It’s not possible for me to debug and assist in installation of mod for free.
This mod works well and without any issue in the default 2.3.1 store. If you have installed other jQuery based mods as it seems you have, they might be conflicting somewhere. Until you give me specific error code, I can’t really identify the issue.

HI, tried installing 1.2 as per the instructions. Cannot get the slideshow working.
I don’t think the admin panel is showing all of the options and I cannot configure the slideshow.
Slideshow also does not appear on the page properly, only displays an image, no controls.

Can you help me out with some instruction?
Thank you.
Ali Qureshi
Your screenshot shows no error. Installation Guide has provided all the steps you need, please follow it and double check it again. Most probably, you either have skipped some step or have not uploaded the files to the correct directory.

Hello good evening,
A thank you for this contribution.
I installed this module on my site but when I click on other options to navigate the page before starting the slide makes the images all appear one below the other.
For example, clicking on the box of the categories / products appear two images before the page loads and I can not fix this, help to resolve this error.
regards,
Manuel

Looks like it;s working now. it must have been css file not uploaded issue.
