Yep, it's a slideshow module for the frontpage.

No database changes. No messy code tweaks - just upload and go.
No technical knowledge or coding required to upload and manage the slides for your slideshow.

Commercial for now... with perpertual, unlimited use licenses.

Hello readyman!

The back-end looks very well designed... I'm curious though about where the slideshow would be on my home page... is it a fixed position in the center column above the 'latest products' or will we be able to choose any location?

I would like to place the banner on the right side of a two-column table... is this possible?

Would be great if we could see a demo of what the front-end looked like. ;) It's the only thing keeping me from reaching for my wallet.

Yep, I inserted the code for this new section called "middle_top" just above the welcome text in home.tpl. If you want it further down the file, after the welcome section, you just have to move the div.

To insert into your own template, just grab the code from the default template home.tpl file provided and then put it in your template where you want it to appear.

If you need the slideshow in the header, or just after the navigation, then you'll need to grab the code from both the home.php and the home.tpl files.

Yep, the admin section is tight - if you're a coder, then look at the source of the admin tpl files to see what tinkering you can do to make it work the way you want. You'll see that I'm already planning enhancements by the parts I've commented out.
I 'locked' this module to use images for now, because I've made it for a few users that are non-techies, but you can easily insert any content and it will still display as a slideshow

I bought the slideshow and installed it. It works except there is no slide???
Only one picture and it doesn't move. I put it on the homepage.
Also the sort order doesn't work in the admin. It stays on "0".

What can I do??

I had this mostly updated for 1.4.8, but was having problems passing the token through to the image manager. PHP i'm ok with. Ajax and Javascript, not so.

Thanks Readyman, I like this module (v1.4.8 ).

I had a small problem though - In Admin, whatever value I enter in 'Speed' gets ignored and it take the value of 'Delay'.

I changed slideshow_delay to slideshow speed in:
admin/view/template/module/homepageslideshow.tpl

at:
<td><select name="slideshow_speed">
<?php if (isset($slideshow_speed)) {
$selected = "selected";
?>
<option value="1000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='1000'){echo $selected;} ?>>1000</option>
<option value="2000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='2000'){echo $selected;} ?>>2000</option>
<option value="3000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='3000'){echo $selected;} ?>>3000</option>
<option value="4000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='4000'){echo $selected;} ?>>4000</option>
<option value="5000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='5000'){echo $selected;} ?>>5000</option>
<option value="6000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='6000'){echo $selected;} ?>>6000</option>
<option value="7000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='7000'){echo $selected;} ?>>7000</option>
<option value="8000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='8000'){echo $selected;} ?>>8000</option>
<option value="9000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='9000'){echo $selected;} ?>>9000</option>
<option value="10000" <?php if($slideshow_speed=='10000'){echo $selected;} ?>>10000</option>

The save then works okay but it doesn't seem to take much notice of the values even if I hardcode then in:
catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/homepageslide.tpl

eg.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#slideshow1').cycle({
delay: 7000,
speed: 3000,
pause: true
});

It's working now.

In catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/homepageslide.tpl

I think:
delay: <?php echo $delay; ?>,

Should be:
timeout: <?php echo $delay; ?>,

To qualify: the TPL change is not a bug - more that it didn't do what I expected.

delay: <?php echo $delay; ?>,
Uses $delay to set the delay before the first transition

timeout: <?php echo $delay; ?>,
Uses $delay to set the delay between transitions (which is what I was expecting).

... but you also forgot to add the Link Target in AddImage so you have to Save it and go back in again to set it. ;)

This module is working fine in Firefox. When I try to view it using IE8, the slideshow got pushed down by the 'right' module(shopping cart, best seller, featured), leaving a gap between "Welcome To Your Store" and the slideshow.

Please help.
