The demo looks fantastic! I am so excited to try this on my CMS, and I’ve followed every step, but I have a question.
In your first sentence:
“I just added the jQuery module to my CMSMS for the easy slider and a simple slide show.”
I clicked the two links in your sentence and downloaded:
1. simple-jquery-slideshow.zip and
2. easyslider1.7.zip
I am not sure where to UPLOAD these files in the CMS – sorry if this is a silly question, but I do so want this to work.
So far I have this error message on the test page: “string(121) “Smarty error: [in tpl_head:45 line 4]: syntax error: unrecognized tag ‘JQueryTools’ (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)” string(121) “Smarty error: [in tpl_head:45 line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag ‘JQueryTools’ (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)” ”
I am not sure how to fix this, but am thinking it might be solved once I upload the two folders mentioned above.
Hi Mooshie,
If you are using CMS Made Simple you can download the jQuery module here. Unzip the file JQueryTools folder and then upload it into your modules folder. Or you can install the module by logging in to admin then goto “extensions” “module manager.”
Then download easy slider and a simple slide show. Save these files as “jquery.easyslide.js” and “jquery.slideshow.js.” Upload them into “modules/JQueryTools/lib.”
One more thing , you have to add the easyslide and slideshow key word to the $all_lib array in the action.incjs.php (located in the jQueryTools folder) to get cmsms to output the correct js file links
Line 45
$all_libs = array(‘base’,’tablesorter’,’cluetip’,’form’,’fancybox’,’json’,’cgform’,’slideshow’,’easyslide’);
Thank you for a great tutorial, I read your others with great interest, but…having followed every step to the ‘T’ my site simply displays two images one above the other!! One thing I didn’t understand was step 3? In one breath you say download the easyslider and slideshow javascript and then you say but use these two files instead, or do you mean in addition too? I downloaded v1.7 of the easyslider javascript but this contains two javascript files and I don’t know where to put them? Do I use your files or the ones downloaded from the easyslider site??
Hi Mark,
Please feel free to use my javascript files linked in step number 3. I have added some copy to make that a little clearer. If you still need to trouble shoot, double check your css file and make sure everything is correct. And make sure if you are copying any html from my blog to retype the quote marks. Hope this helps!

Don’t forget to create a Boolean array.

Thank you for your sharing,
the only question left is where to put the images?
Is there a special folder?

Here is my completed slideshow: http://gowright.org/
You can put your images wherever you like. Just link to them in your html and use your css to style. View the code on this page to see it.

Thanks Colman. I missed that. Added it to the original blog.
Know that you need CGextensions for this.
