OpenCart Community

Hi, I have opencart 2.3.0.2.
How come even through a code is uncommented in slideshow.tpl, it still working? catalog/view/theme/default/template/extension/module/slideshow.tpl

When I change the autoPlay it works.

Here is the code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$('#slideshow<?php echo $module; ?>').owlCarousel({
items: 6,
autoPlay: 6000,
singleItem: true,
navigation: true,
navigationText: ['<i class="fa fa-chevron-left fa-5x"></i>', '<i class="fa fa-chevron-right fa-5x"></i>'],
pagination: true
});
--></script>

It's not necessary any more. This has only ever served as a backwards-compatibility hack - when scripts first started being inserted into static HTML pages, most browsers couldn't support them. Without the comments, they would ignore the <script> tag (which they didn't understand), and then would emit the script source onto the page.

So basically, unless you want to support really, really old browsers (at the cost of breaking some new ones) it's no longer necessary to do this.

Thank you for your reply.

So what's the best way to change the slideshow speed?

You can change 6000 (6 seconds) to your desired time and don't make any more changes in the file.
