[Resolved] Bxslider not working


Trudy

Recommended Posts

Welcome Trudy! Glad to see you made it to the forum.

Let's review a few things about BXSlider:

In the skin template main.php, near the bottom, there should be at least this:

<script src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/js/vendor/jquery.bxslider.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Then, later in the code:

<script>
   {literal}
   $('.bxslider').bxSlider({auto:true,captions:true});
   {/literal}
</script>

Then, in your Homepage document (typical where the images are), there must be this:

<ul class="bxslider">

Note the class value.

Finally, make sure that the file exists where the <script src> tag says it is.

If, for some reason, javascript crashes, then this slider effect may not start. So, we need to make sure of that.

Ok, yes, it's offline.

In order to see what may be going on, we will need to see the store online.

One way to do this is to send me a PM with admin credentials. You can create a new admin with absolutely no permissions what-so-ever.

But being a logged-in admin, the storefront will be viewable.

I see that you are using the eTone skin. This skin does not come with the BXSlider plugin.

If you are running CC6, then you have the Foundation skin available.

Find the file:

/skins/foundation/js/vendor/jquery.bxslider.min.js

Copy to the folder:

/js/plugins/

Find the file:

/skins/foundation/css/jquery.bxslider.css

Copy to the folder:

/js/styles/

I also do not find the following, so be sure to add it:

In /skins/e-tone/templates/main.php, find near the bottom:

<![endif]-->
{/literal}
  
{if $COOKIE_DIALOGUE}


Change to:

<![endif]-->

<script>
$('.bxslider').bxSlider({auto:true,captions:true});
</script>

{/literal}
  
{if $COOKIE_DIALOGUE}

 

I now see that the files to have been copied over (JS and CSS) are where they are supposed to be. That leaves the edit to the template file.

After having edited a template file, be sure to clear the cache (admin, Maintenance, Rebuild tab, Clear Cache).
