Slideshow on your home page

To create a home page slideshow, edit this file:

[zencart folder]/includes/languages/[your language]/html_includes/[your template]/define_main_page.php

Or you can quickly edit the page via Admin→Tools→Define Pages Editor, and select define_main_page from the pulldown. If the file doesn't exist, you can copy it from [zencart folder]/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_main_page.php

You can edit it also here - Admin→Tools→Define Pages Editor (select define_main_page from the pull-down).

The Magic Slideshow™ effect is done in JavaScript - it is not a Flash slideshow. If you have questions on installing/configuring this Zen Cart slideshow, please contact us and we will help you.
