It is my pleasure to present you with a module I've built for Zen Cart and have released it in the official Plugins section to be available for free download. The module was built with intention to help store owners add images to their home page slideshow without writting code or manually uploading images via FTP.
NOTE: some CSS tweaks might be required after installing the module - please understand that every store is unique it's almost impossible to create this kind of module that will work out of the box without any tweaks for any website using any template.
IMPORTANT: this module has a support thread in the official Forum. If you have ANY problems installing or using the module, please check the Forum: support for v3 starts on page 73. Most questions have been answered - it is very likely that your question will be a duplicate...
Based on swiper.js and fully responsive
If you haven't heard about Nivo Slider, I will simply copy/paste the introductory text from it's official site: Swiper is the most popular mobile-friendly slider library on the web. Built with a focus on performance, flexibility, and native-like touch interactions, it powers millions of sliders across websites, apps, and digital products.
Built with SEO in mind
Search engines will not see the text that is part of your image, but separate layers of actual text are readable and can help your SEO. This plugin allows you to add animated layers of text on top of your images!
Controlled from the admin
Unlike other slideshow modules, you don't have to use FTP to add new images. You don't have to know or edit any code to make changes. All you need to do is go to the dedicated admin page and upload you images through the user-friendly interface, add and edit your text and buttons, choose from a list of animations and save it!
Responsive
Even if your template isn't responsive, you can still benefit from this feature. You don't need to know how to resize or crop your images to exact dimensions, just upload what you have and ZX Slideshow will automatically adapt the slider dimensions to your site and the images uploaded.
