Its a Jquery slider show, it could possibly implement the slider in default theme also. Potentially would be useful for lot of people.

Hi, what slide show is used in http://demo.hostandwin.com/opencart/demos/oc1/ I like it any help would be appreciated looking for a FREE one.

It looks similar to Sleek Slide Show, which is free and easy to enable:

I was wondering how you could center the images for the slider.

I'm just starting a site and have used the script that you have in this thread for the slider and can't for the life of me get the images to center properly.

I've used the tags as well as the tags and it isn't working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cheers,

Vince

PS Thanks for creating the nice themes as well. I was quite impressed with the way the store front looks

Vince - i believe the slider does things automatically and i would recommend using the background color as offset or exact size of image needed.

Background offset meaning [lets say total slider image needed is 500 pixels in length and your picture is 300px see below. i also assumed height is not your problem]
Background color[100px]Image[300px]Background color[100px]
Ideally you are tricking the visibility and using the same image.
We use photo-scape (Google Photoscape) widely do these sort of small photo editing and its free you can give it a try .

@HostAndWin:
You have very nice themes but I'm noticing you tend to be copying the entire default folder and starting with all the files. This is not the proper way to make themes for a few reasons.

1. You are copying the "payment" folder. That means anytime we make a bug fix in a payment form, when people upgrade they will not get the update. You should never copy the the payment folder
2. Your themes usually follow the normal template layout. This tells me that most changes are limited to css, images, header, home, footer and not much else. It doesn't seem like the columns or category page or product page have changed html in most cases. You should only include files that are different from the ones in the "default" theme. If they are not different, you should leave them out of your custom theme. OpenCart uses a "Fallback" system that will pull any missing files straight out of the default folder if they don't exist in the custom folder. This allows for better transparency and a lot less work for you and the users of the themes when it comes to updating them for future versions. More info on theme development here:

Are these still free? The link you provided says they are still free but for some reason it is asking for a payment. I'm trying to download the Jewelry template. Thanks.

Would it be possible for someone who might have downloaded the jewelry template to reupload it for me please?

Knight i was thinking the same thing.Topic says free but go there and they are not.

I would guess that technically the themes are free... AFTER you sign up for a hosting account with them. I just wish they would state that in the text. Also if HostandWin would want them to be free, maybe they should include them in the "Extensions" section of the Opencart site and list them as such.

Very nice, even if you have to sign up for hosting, good deal.

HELLO,

ALL THE THEMES ABOUT WHOSE DEMO YOU HAVE GIVEN ALL ARE PAID. SO COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME IS THERE IS ANY OPTION TO GET THOSE AT FREE PRICE?

THANKS

HI - what are the general thoughts on re-writing some parts of a free-theme
I mean, would anyone get the arse if I played around with the files

prob a dumb question but just got me thinking, because I have messed around with the defult theme so much its not the recognisable now!

leads to another question (sorry) at what point does a theme become yours? or does it have to start from scratch???

p.s. I am new, please take it easy

Hey you guys are just wonderful stating FREE everywhere to get us gullibles in, then when you click on your site, all of those links are for premium themes - not freebies. What a come on! Why don't you learn some good decent ethics and stop bantering FREE all over the place when it is clearly not!
Am not impressed and wouldn't purchase anything from you as a matter of trust!
You get the thumbs down from me!

but these templates aren't free as i see, for example oc4 in your post.
