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.
IMPORTANT: PIM-oscSlideshow 1.0 is for osCommerce versions earlier than v2.3.1.
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.

PIM-oscSlideshow 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.
Update 1
I had to update slideshow.php file for a missing css link. Make sure you downlaod the full package first attached with the first post and then get the updated file.
Or in the original package, you can just open catalog/includes/slideshow.php
Find:
Add Above:
That should resolve missing Slideshow styles.
It’s just one file which fixed css file path.
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 first post on the contribution page.
Update 2
I have been getting lot of queries about how to add images and change width and height of images in the slideshow.
Pardon me for making this not part of the Installation Guide or instructions as I over looked this thing which seemed obvious.
But first thing first, upload all the files present in the catalog folder to your store’s corresponding directories before implementing the changes in the existing osCommerce files as defined in the Installation Guide..
To Add Images in the Slideshow
You upload images using the admin panel of your store.
After installing the contribution, go to your store Admin Panel > Catalog > Slideshow and upload as many images as you want. Make sure your catalog/images/slideshow/ directory exists and writeable!
To Change Width/Height of Slideshow Gallery Images
I have set up default width to 960px and height 281px. You can change this by going into catalog/includes/slideshow.php and in the catalong/easy-slider.css.
This seemed quite obvious at the time I was putting together Installation Guide but I made mistake by assuming that every user might have some experience with css/html and could change this easily.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!
For STS Mod Store
Step 1: Download the attached file, extract slideshow-sts.php and upload it to catalog/includes/
Step 2: Open catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/general.php and add require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . ‘slideshow-sts.php’); at top after the Step 3: Open catalog/includes/sts_templates/full/sts_template.html and add $slideshow variable wherever you want this slider to appear.
UPDATE: There’s better Slider (premium) available now which has much more features.
Hello there,
greata job. I’d like to hide the slideshow for a while without uninstalling it. Could you please help me? What should I do? I hope you can help….
Thanks in advance
how to get this to fit into the oscommerce site, it sits on top of the boxes for col. left and right. LOVE the mod – thanks for your hard work!! I am tipping by paypal!
Hi John,
You can manage the width using css. It should not be too hard.
Thanks for the tipping offer but for my account, Paypal doesn’t take donations anymore.
Great contribution! really pleased with it, just what I needed, however now my buttons don’t seem to work? “cart contents” “checkout” “my account”
non seem to be live?
it has been replied in the comments.. you just need to update the css. please see the old comments and you will find the solution.
the slide is not working properly in Product info file .only the picture are show not run the slide.
please make sure that follow installation guide correctly.
I installed properly and slide work but the images are no show in the slide? help me
Hello there
Thank you for this nice add on.
The only thing I do not understand, how can I move it more to the left side?
Thank you for helping and best regards
Marc
Using css, you can move it to left or right.
Dear Ali
Thank you for the fast answer. I tried with the stylsheet.css and with the easy-slider.css, but unfortunately without success. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you and best regards
Marc
what’s the link? I cant rally tell what you need to do without actually viewing the page.. I still think you can manage it with css.
Dear Ali
The link is http://www.apromo.com.br. Awaiting your news.
Thank you in advance and best regards
Marc
you can make changes to contentContainer class or content-slide id. The slider looks fine. Where do you want to move it to? to the top of left navigation?
Great! Thanks a lot for your help! Everything looks fine now!!
Hello everyone,
I am trying to install this contribution on oscommerce 2.2 but i cannot find the expected part at admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php. I also tryed the proposed solution to fix it but still no change. The slideshow link from admin/catalog is blank and there is no slideshow in my main page.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.
Please make sure you have uploaded files to correct directories. Please follow the steps carefully in the installation guide.
Also make sure you are using the correct contribution. 2.2 and 2.3.x versions are different.
Thanks for your quick reply!
I have double checked the uploading procedure. But nothing changed. Could you tell me please where i can find the instructions and files for version 2.2. I only found for 2.3.
Thanks a lot!
PIM-oscSlideshow 1.0 is for 2.2.
Download it from here.. http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7958 The very first version from the history.
This is what i have already used and inside, in the instruction guide, says about version 2.3 and has the problem with the admin/boxes/catalog i refered to you previously.
Anything else to propose?
Sorry for the continuous questions.
Your help is valuable.
Link is same but go to History Tab and then go to the last version. dated “10 Apr 2011”. You are downloading the latest version which is for 2.3.x.
Hi,
Thanks for the great contribution!
Is it possible to add a ACTIVE / INACTIVE option to each slide so that I can choose to show or hide from the slideshow? Currently I need to delete a banner if I don’t want to show it, but sometimes I just want to hide it temporary.
Many thanks!
I will add this feature in the next update. Thanks.
Hi, what is the possible error when the index page display the images one after the other rather than a slideshow? I have all the file uploaded, included css file and the jquery library.
Thanks!
do you have the error installation online?
It usually happens when css is not included and/or jquery library is not included in the code.
Great contrib!! I am having issues in that I am using a template and need to add this to the template_top.php rather than the header.php. When I do this, it displays the images one after the other rather than a slideshow. Could you tell me what I might do to correct this? Thanks
Plz make sure you have included css file and the jquery library.
My apologies, I don’t follow. The install works great on a fresh non-modded version of 2.3.3 but when I try to relocate the slideshow to the template_top.php it quits working.
Send me the link and I will tell you what’s causing this.
Hi, is it possible to add a ACTIVE / INACTIVE button for the banners? Similar to Active / Inactive product.
Sometimes I just want to disable the banner temporary but do not want to delete it from my Admin.
It’s a good request and it’s possible but it will require some coding. It’s not something which can be posted here as one or few lines of code. I will have to check the code and release it later.
Its showing on all my pages i only want on home page, i took the code out of the header.php and it completely disappears.
the code is already provided in the comments above to show the slider only on home page.
does this work for 2.3.3?
Yes, it works for all 2.3.x versions.
Hi, I installed version 1.0 on my site, but I use STS and can’t seem to get the slideshow to show. Putting in index.php after isn’t working because of the STS template codes. Do you know of a how I can have it work with Simple Template System (STS) add-on? I use osCommerce 2.2-MS2. Thanks!
I meant to say for that second sentence that putting in the code in the index.php after body isn’t letting it show on my site.
Hi, Yes I understand what’s the issue.
For that you will have to make changes in the catalog/inlcudes/sts_templates/full/sts_template.html and catalog/inlcudes/modules/sts_inc/general.php files.
1. In the catalog/includes/slideshow.php, set all echo code in the $slideshow variable so that it stores all the markup of slider.
2. Include the catalog/inlcudes/slideshow.php file in the catalog/inlcudes/modules/sts_inc/general.php somewhere near at top.
3. Go to the catalog/inlcudes/sts_templates/full/sts_template.html and show $slideshow variable wherever you want this slider to appear.
I will post the exact steps later when I’d have those modified files where I made these changes. I’m stating the steps from my memory.
Great, thanks! I will wait for your exact steps as I am not sure how to do the first step.
For STS Mod, follow these steps.
Step 1: Download the attached file, extract slideshow-sts.php and upload it to catalog/includes/
Step 2: Open catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/general.php and add require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . ‘slideshow-sts.php’); at top after the Step 3: Open catalog/includes/sts_templates/full/sts_template.html and add $slideshow variable wherever you want this slider to appear.
Thank for helping me! I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I use an earlier version, (STS) v2.01, and I don’t have catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/general.php. I tried entering it in catalog/includes/application-top.php at the bottom, but that gives me this error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_get_slideshow() (previously declared in catalog/includes/slideshow-sts.php:15) in catalog/includes/slideshow.php on line 40
Should I be putting it somewhere else?
For STS 2.1, you can integrate PIM Slideshow like this:
Step 1: Open sts_user_code.php and go to the end of file and before closing tag add following code:
Step 2:
Open sts_template.html and add this table after header navigation table.
My template of OS is local, how i can show slide on home page?
It should work in every template.
Install PIM-oscSlideshow 1.2 it cut off the right side of my banner is there a workaround for this?
Found the problem works now.
Hi thanks for great application.
I have trouble I followed the guide and made changes But i cannot see the banners on my index page i have uploaded the files throught web admin panel.
can you help please
Are you able to add slides in your store using admin panel? Please make sure that you have uploaded all accompanied files to your server corresponding directories apart from making changes. Usually the problem is some skipped step. Follow the installation guide and it should work.
Ali i have slideshow in Catalog,but have not in configuration ,maybe it is the problem way i have not slide in my site?
There’s nothing in the configuration. You only get the slideshow menu in the catalog. You are most probably mixing the Pro version with the free version.
Hi Ali,
First, i would like to thank you for this wonderful contribution.
I wish to insert the slider below ‘Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in? Or would you prefer to create an account?’ Ihave tried to add in at catalog/index.php in various position but still did not get through.
Can you advise me where is code?
Thanks in advance. by the way, i am still using version 2.2rca.
Regards
Ariff
You can do that too. don’t add the catalog/includes/slideshow.php file in the header, rather include it in the catalog/index.php file. You will have to readjust image width sizes in catalog/includes/slideshow.php and and catalog/easy-slider.css file too. Please read the replies above and you will find out where to place the code. This issue has been discussed and replied many times before.
Great contrib!
One thing: it would be great if you could add the option to activate/deactivate slides so that unused slides don’t have to be deleted. What do you think about that?
Good point. I have added it in the things to do list.
Hi Ali;
I almost got it LOL
I added the code into the index.pho and the picture showed up …. YIPPIE
NOW, is there a way to pull in the left and right arrows as they have knocked the left and right columns out of alignment.
Here is my site if you’d like to take a look and see what I mean http://bride-azzled.com/
Or is there a way to not have the left and right arrows and just have the slideshow run?
Thanks for everything,
Karen
Hi Ali;
Thanks for getting back.
I triple checked all the files and coding for the install, and I am still not seeing anything on my site.
Am I not doing something in Admin when inserting images into the slide? Do I need to add something into the box that reads – Slide linked to:
As for moving the slideshow to the index page – which slideshow code do I need to move?
Sorry for all the questions. I think this would be a great add-on for my site …… if I can just get the thing to work LOL
Thanks again,
Karen
Yes, of course. After the installation, you need to go to Catalog > Slideshos > and add your images and other info.
To change the location of slideshow, Do not perform the installation guide step 2.5.1 for the catalog/includes/header.php. Instead open catalog/index.php and find the place where you would want the slideshow to appear and then add following code there.
Please keep in mind that slideshow width is 970px and it might not fit in the center column unless you change the width in the css file and catalog/includes/slideshow.php. All that you will have to do yourself based on your template.
Hi Ali;
Thanks for getting back.
Ok …. like I said, reealy dumb question lol. Plus I asked since I installed the add-on it’s not showing on my site. I’ll have to double check and make sure I have everything in the right places.
Also, instead of the slide show being between the navigation and welcome area, is it possible to have it where the New Products for March is on your demo page?
Oh, another question for you off topic. I am trying to figure out a way to have a sort order for the attributes in Admin. I will have colors and instead of having the attribute list alphabetically, I’d like to sort by popular color first.
Any suggestions? I’d really rather have Linkmatics Attribute Sets Plus, but it doesn’t work with 2.3.1 (sad face)
Thanks again
Karen
Yes, double check the installation steps and that should solve the issue.
And it’s possible to move Slideshow form top to anywhere, for that, you will have check the code in the index.php and place the slideshow include code above ‘New products’ or ‘welcome content’.
For options order, remove all options, and add those first which you want to list first. There’s no other way to order the options of attributes.
Hi there;
I’m building a new site and thought this would be something different and fun to play with.
But a reeeally dumb question …. Do I need to install all the file etc for EasySlider 1.7 also?
Oh and another question …. would it be possible to have the slide on the front page itself of the site, like where the Welcome to My Store instead of below header?
Thanks so much for your help
Hi Karen,
Just follow the instructions in the Installation Guide. You don’t have to do anything separately. EasySlider files have been added with the mod.
And yes, it adds the Slider on home page underneath the navigation and above welcome area like this (This is demo of pro version but placement of slider is same in both free and pro versions).
Ah, I’ve realized that I setup the “Shop By Category” drop-downs to call differently than the standard structure. I have figured it out. Thank you so much Ali!
Thanks so much Ali. I was able to get it to work for manufacturers but not categories. I’ve tried quite a few variations but no luck so far. Do you have any other ideas or why I cant get it to remove from categories?
The code should work both for categories and manufacturers’. You might have installed some mod may be SEO which is not populating cPath variable.
Does anyone have a working demo of this? Or snaps? Thanks
Great contrib, however I am wondering if there is a way to avoid the slideshow from appearing on the categories and manufactures pages? I am using 2.3.1 and I notice that these pages work from index.php, so the slideshow appears on all category and manufacture pages even without the code in the header.
All and any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Open catalog/includes/header.php, Go to the end of file
The condition will check and won’t include the slideshow on category or manufacturer pages.
Ali, thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately adding that code or changing the call “” to ”
” causes the site to go blank.
Any ideas as to why that is happening?
Make sure you replace this in the catalog/includes/header.php:
with this:
I had to change the all caps in “slideshow” line 17 to lowercase.
I’m doing all this to help anybody may be having the same problems as I have.
That’s not required. you skipped the step 2.4 in the installation guide.
i did the 2.4 step (all steps) but have the same error
1146 – Table ‘joyeriat_osc1.TABLE_SLIDESHOW’ doesn’t exist
select slideshow_name, slideshow_url, slideshow_description, slideshow_image FROM TABLE_SLIDESHOW order by slideshow_id
[TEP STOP]
then wich its the problem, tks
You have not performed #2.3.1 or #2.4 of the installation guide. Make sure you make changes and upload file to the correct directory.
I did the install and had the “no database table” problem like some others and found that the problem was in line 17.
Line 17 should be this:”SLIDESHOW” instead of “TABLE_SLIDESHOW”
$slides_query = tep_db_query(“select slideshow_name, slideshow_url, slideshow_description, slideshow_image FROM ” . SLIDESHOW . ” order by slideshow_id”);
Nice contribution by all parties involved in the making.
Please refer to the step 2.4 of Installation Guide. You forgot to update catalog/includes/database_tables.php file.
So im having an issue….. I am using your code and its working great except for the fact that on the “product info” pages, its displaying both of the slides….instead of just one, got any suggestions?
Refer to the Installation guide and step #2.5. Either implement “2.5.1 To show on every page of your store” or “2.5.2 To show only on Home Page”.
Most probably you have included twice.
Huroman, what exactly did you change?
Thanks for your comment. But when i would this install in the german folder works it too?
There’s nothing that you need to install in any language folder. You just have to add one file and that fetches data from DB where you add slides. That’s it.
Well this is a great job. I’m a noob and here are my questions. I hope you can help me.
Is this now working on 2.3.1? And when the answer is yes, What have i to do to install this? (I have also a german language pack )
Thanks
Luca
For osCommerce 2.3.1, check this post here
This is not multilingual, so you can only define slides for one language.
Hi, i have this excellent addon working on in my localhost store but i have one question:
Could you tell me if i change the code in “catalog/include/slideshow.php”, js, css and the images this going to be fine or there is another thing to modify?
Thank you in advance.
That’s fine. You can. You can easily switch to any other js slideshow like nivo Slider.. All you have to do is to update css/js files.
Thank you, Ali, replace the files were easy, the “hard” part was to realize why the script shows me only one image (actually, it hides the other images if you don’t fix it).
Well, like an opinion, you should to tell (us) when we trying to change the Slider for another one, like Nivo Slider, it’s imperative to delete the “ul” and “li” elements from “catalog/include/slideshow.php”. in order to work because “Easy Slider” uses “li” elements and “Nivo Slider” uses just “images”.
Anyway, hope this help somebody and thank you again for your excellent addon and time, of course.
H-
I found the problem.
I had to add 1 more
Thanks!
Works like a charm now.
Another problem now, the slider is working in both, firefox and IE, but if I open http://www.oefenhoofden.nl in IE the catagories are gone!
In Firefox no problems…
Did I do something wrong here?
It worked!
You’re great thanks for the support!!
I tried , but it is stil the same.
Can you check http://www.oefenhoofden.nl in firefox?
Maybe I do something wrong?
You have not included the easy-slider.css file.
Open catalog/includes/slideshow.php
and add following line:
Do I need to add this line ” .spacer{clear:both;} ” somewhere in the easy-slider.css file?
yes.
In which file I need to place the 1st code div?
In the same file catalog/includes/slideshow.php
You need to try to add spacer class div inside and outside slider container div. That should resolve the issue.
Sorry, I meant if open the website in Firefox it has that problem, not the screen(resolution)
how to solve it so i also can see the slides like in IE?
I’m not sure about your code and template but you can something like this.
Create a div, give it the attribute style=”clear:both”, placed the slideshow div inside this div and it will hopefully resolve the issue in Firefox.
Code is as follows:
If it does not resolve, you can also try by making a spacer class like this and this in your css file:
Then add this class in the file catalog/includes/slideshow.php:
Hi again,
If I open my website on a larger screen with another resolution, the slides are not fully displayed only 1/3 per slide, so you see 2 slides in one run.
Can it be changed by some code?
Excellent add on. I was looking for exactly the same thing. Thanks Ali 🙂
Happy Coding…..
Rohan
grr.. tried to post the code.. I added the align= in the
div id=”content-slide” align=”center”
and that worked for the slideshow itself not the controls
Thanks, adding the align=”center”
centered the slideshow itself, now I am stuck on the controls
http://www.wkdwich.com/catalog/
I am using oscMAX not valnilla osc and viewed n both MSIE and FF with the same results
There’s an issue centering content like this:
Using align=”center” on the slider div stops the slider moving to the next image in Safari and Chrome.
A solution to centering the content if you have different size images would be in the CSS:
sorry it didnt post the doctype properly
DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”
You do not need to remove the doctype, to center align the slideshow, following code should be enough. Place it in catalog/includes/slideshow.php where
You can even place align=”center” in the content-slide div like this:
And if all else fails, you can even try to place table as a last resort and center align the slideshow div.
But most probably you have some other html or css issue in your template that’s causing it. Slideshow aligns itself center of page., No one else has reported this issue.
Which browser are you using to view it?
I am having a very hard time centering the slide show and the controls. I think it has something to do with the doctype:
I have been trying to learn CSS but not having much fun .. can you help me here?
I changed the ID name, but it is still not working.
The .js files in the lightbox contrib are:
builder.js
effects.js
lightbox.js
protortype.js
scriptaculous.js
Any other ideas?
This error has to be with the ids conflict. There’s no other possibility. I can’t really say what exactly is causing this without going through the whole code of lighbox contribution. Chekc the lightbox and easySlider id values, they must be using saem ids somewhere.
There seems to be a conflict with your great contrib. and the lightbox contrib.
Slider worls fine, but I can’t get them work together.
If I remover the slifer, the lightbox contrib. works and the other way around the same.
Please help 🙂
Most probably, it’s the div id #slider of slideshow defined in catalog/includes/slideshow.php which is conflicting with the lighbox.
Check the line 60 onwards for any issues.
Change your lighbox id #slider if indeed is the case.
There is also a possibility that you are inlcuding jquery library twice, once for lightbox and again for this easySlider. You can only include jquery only once.
And if i click on the flags the slideshow disappear…
How can i fix that.
This mod does not support multilingual stores yet. This is kinda good and practical feature though & I’ll incorporate this while enchancing it.
It will reqiure some major code change both in admin and front end parts to make it really dynamic to work for all installed langauge packs.
Hi.
The slideshow only appear in my local language, not on all other language..
What can i do?
Thx I had the old manual, 2.5.1 was not included.
Make sure you are using the correct version for osC v2.3.1 has a separate mod than osC v2.2. I think you must have figured this out by now.
The slideshow only appear on the homepage, not on all my other pages..
What can i do?
To show slideshow on every page of your store, Open Installation Guide and refer to #2.5.1 – To show on every page of your store.
Open catalog/includes/header.php. Go to the end of file.
Add following line.
Please note that you can’t include it twice. Either include slideshow.php it in catalog/includes/header.php for every page or in the catalog/index.php file for only home page inclusion.
Hi.
I installed your slideshow and when i try to upload some images in admin panel
i get this
Error 500!
/catalog/admin/slideshow.php
Internal Server Error!
Please make sure you created the catalog/images/slideshow/ folder and set its permissios to 755 or 777.
Hi,
I’m working on a local server so can’t give you a website link. I’ve followed your install instructions but having trouble with the database table. This is the message I ge:
1146 – Table ‘osc231.table_slideshow’ doesn’t exist
select count(*) as total from TABLE_SLIDESHOW
I have run the script and the table exists in the database, but is not being found for some reason. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Permissions are set to 777 everywhere because I’m working locally.
Your following error:
shows that osCommerce is looking for ‘table_slideshow’ where as it should be looking for the table named ‘slideshow’. I think you are missing just $ sign before table_slideshow in the database tables name file.
Hope that helps!
Hi Ali – thanks for your response. I had forgotten I had posted my query and have been busy with other work. I have double checked everything and this is now the message I’m getting:
1146 – Table ‘slideshow.php’ doesn’t exist
select count(*) as total from slideshow.php
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean about putting a “$ sign before table_slideshow in the database tables name file.” Can you be more specific?
I have looked in both the database_tables.php files but see no evidence of a $ used anywhere, so why would I add one? Perhaps you mean another file?
No problem.I’ll be waiting.I managed to implement the php part and the slideshow in admin with easyslide but with nivo can’t seem to get it done so i added the slideshow to the site by div tags so i’m not currently using the admin part of adding and editing slides.
There might be something that’s slippin’ from me 😛
Congrats for this great application.
I am eagerly waiting for the Nivo implementation GUIDE for OSC.
It would be of great help if you finished it this month.Thank you very much.
I’m glad that some are finding it useful. I hope to finish the Nivo Slideshow Implementation Guide within some days. I have been very busy in my other works.
hi firstly thanks
got it working well, great addon
your comemnt
“f 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 have tried to get it working with nivo but cant seem to 🙁
is this pretty straight forward?
could you do a quick guide to use nivo?
thanks again
kym
Hi Kym,
I did some work on the Package with Nivo slider. On this coming weekend, I’ll try to finish the Installation Guide and release it if possible. I’m glad it’s useful for some.
Thanks for replying. and further explanations.
Despite i stumbled on that particular same issue, (workable anyway)( i have to update to the latest version yet), i only can say : thumbs up!.
It works and by css styling the rest is done.
Keep up the work!
the messed up part (helas) due to css
( ireplied without looking at present download)
@Leo, No. Ratauy is talking about Admin Panel Slideshow page, and he was right.
In the v2.3.1, they have separated header and footer files, in the earlier versions, each page had header and footer included in the page, that caused the mess.
I have resolved this in the new separate release of PIM-oscSlideshow 1.1 for v2.3.1.
So this ( PIM-oscSlideshow 1.0 ) should only be used for osCommercev2.2 stores.
Hope this resolves everything.
In osc 2.3.1 in the language files the “defines” have to be made in the correct places. Not above the last ?>
And the code that work for me at catalog.php under admin/includes/boxes,
But the osc 2.3.1 left menu in the admin get messed up.
The instructions have lot of errors. I cant get the administration area installed. The language files arent in the places that are indicated in the pdf.
Anyway I modify all the files but the slideshow config isnt shown in the admin area.
For the Admin Panel, check the above mentioned reply. I’ll release update fixing these issues by this weekend.
PIM-oscSlideshow1.0 version was for earlier releases of osCommerce.
Please check this new Add-on for 2.3.1 version. https://www.parorrey.com/blog/oscommerce/pim-oscslideshow1-1-oscommerce-slideshow-gallery-add-on-with-admin-panel-for-oscommerce-2-3-1-store/
It will resolve all issues.
2.2.6 Step 6
Open catalog/admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php
Find
‘‘. BOX_CATALOG_MANUFACTURERS. ‘‘.
Add Below this.
…’‘. BOX_CATALOG_SLIDESHOW. ‘‘.
there is no <a href= in this file!
As suggested, follow these:
if it now does not work, sorry.. (it is supposed to be 1 line between the tags)
i 🙁 wp
code is dismissed it seems the top line was the a href link from step 6
and the index file the line position and txt > dismantled
then it shows
and for index on top : below line 245 estimated, after the default page ?>

Hi John,
Can you please mention in which file it did not work for you? I did check it with 2.3.1 before release.
I will also try to put one demo 2.3.1 store online soon.
