Hi Alexandre,

Thanks for purchase.

Don’t feel depressed, and don’t worry. I’ll help you, and we’ll make it work.

The 1st step of the Quick Start Guide is “Be sure your server runs with PHP 5.3 or higher”, and it seems you’re not running a PHP server. That’s your problem.

You have first to install a PHP local server, for instance, MAMP or XAMPP.

or upload the files directly on your remote server.

In any case, you must access the files with HTTP or HTTPS in your browser. Direct access with c:// won’t work.

Please first do this (you’ll find many tutorials on the web about running a local PHP server), then tell me if everything is ok or if you have some other questions.

Gilles

Hello and thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, it’s getting worse and worse. I just spent two hours pulling my hair out even though I don’t have any! I am now close to insanity.

I have installed PHP on my Mac (Not sure though because I don’t know how to do the test), checked the version (7.4) of my web hosting, tried to click everywhere, and I see only pages of code and pages of code. I don’t understand where to access the “Main Screen (Explorer & media)”. I tried from Transmit (my FTP tool), from the web FTP of my site, and from my Mac. I’m still at the same point: nothing.

I don’t doubt that your code is perfect but, on the other hand, impossible to use by a non-expert of PHP, which is my case.

So I give up. So much for my US$20.00 invested without being able to test before.

I’m looking for a more accessible solution for me.

Thanks again for having trying to help me

Alexandre

Alexandre,

I’m so sorry you had so much trouble. If you can just upload the files on your ftp and email me your ftp access and the http URL I can make it work for you.

If you see the code when you open files in your browser it means that your PHP server is not running, or that you open the files into your browser from your hard drive instead of HTTP.

This can’t happen on a remote server (from a hosting service).

I’m ready to help you and make it work with pleasure, but if you really prefer to get refund I understand, you can ask here (what a pity, Slider Maker is really a good tool): https://codecanyon.net/refund_requests/new.

Hi Lalunavbg,

Thanks for purchase. Please could you email me your url & ftp? Then I’ll see what happens, your page css may have broken something.

Gilles

Hi,

There’s no option for this, but it can be done easily with jQuery:

/* example with a slider folder named "demo-folder" */

var sliderDemoFolderCallback = function () {
    // for a specific link, find it by url
    $('#slider-div .sp-slide').find('a[href="https://website.com"]).attr('target', '_blank');

    // or enable blank target for all the slideshow's links
    $('#slider-div .sp-slide a').attr('target', '_blank');
};

If you need anything else you’re welcome,

Gilles

Thank you for your quick answer. I don’t have the slightest idea how to implement it though, I will find someone who is familiar with jQuery.

If you can send me your ftp access I can program this for you, it’ll only take me a few minutes (hoping you’re not on Wordpress, I won’t work with Wordpress)

I received your email. Please send me your purchase code then I’ll build your code.

Thanks

Hi Wittonlam,

Thanks for purchase.

The version you mentionned is jQuery UI, but elFinder version is 2.0 You can see it in admin/assets/lib/elfinder2x/php/ElFinder.php

If you want the latest you can make a backup of slidermaker/admin/assets/lib/elfinder2x and replace it with the newest, it should work, but make a backup first & of course revert if there’s anything wrong.

If you need anything else you’re welcome,

Gilles

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I have try to replace the new version. Seems like the external cloud connection function is not there. Is there any PHP code that control the external cloud control? If no, can you able to help?

Hi,

I’m afraid I’ll not be able to help before a few days – too much work – , but you’ll find the call to elFinder in slidermaker/admin/index.php, starting L.277:

var elfinder = $('#elfinder').elfinder({ ... })

Then SliderMaker uses the API to add custom buttons & trigger events.

If elFinder changed their API it’ll require some work & may be difficult to setup.

Thanks ! Will check it out. One last question. I have able to see the elfinder admin panel. But when I click on the button below , MEDIA, SETTING, PREVIEW, PUBLISH, it shows nothing and no view at all. Is there anything that I need to change?

Hi,

Something has probably been broken following the elFinder upgrade – the best way to know what happened is to open your browser console & see the error message. Feel free to send me your ftp & url for more help

Hi, I have sent you my URL. Can you please check if you have received?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, and thank you for waiting. I didn’t receive your email but got a problem with my server. Could you please send it again? I’ll do my best to be more reactive & answer you quickly.

Thanks,

Gilles

The browser’s console shows an error 500 when you open a slider folder. You should turn display_errors On in your php.ini to show the errors on screen (or find the error in your log file). For more help I’d need your ftp. I’m not 100% sure I can solve it for you because it can lead to complex solutions with your new elFiner, but I can at least have a look if you want.

Hi Jim,

First of all I would like to congratulate you, you seem to have already a solid knowledge for your age (but I don’t know when your picture was taken).

If you open your browser’s console, you’ll see a lot of 404 errors: the page should be in slidermaker/admin folder. For more help feel free to send me your ftp

Gilles

Firstly many apologies for the delay in replying! I am sending you details directly to your email address.

Hi Jim,

I just answered you & sent you explanations.

Basically, your problem is that your subdomain is pointing INSIDE the slidermaker folder, while it should point to the root folder.

If you need anything else you’re welcome,

Gilles

I have made amendments but still a problem. I have sent you an email to your gmail account/

Hi Yaelede,

Just add an ending slash to data-root in the generated code & it should work.

If you need anything else you’re welcome,

Gilles

Thank you! It did the trick.

Hi,

It’ll not work on an external try-it editor, you’ve got to use it on your own php server.

Gilles

I also try with my server. its the same

Hi,

No you cannot, this is due to browsers security reasons.

It’s not a good practice to force users to enter full screen, that’s why most modern browsers don’t allow this:

You can use any Javascript callback once the slideshow is loaded, but fullscreen will not work.

tq for your answer.. 1 more question..
