I Cannot configure The slider module in Version 1.6.08 AND 1.6.09

[MGVDP]

I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I have been tearing my hair out for the last 2 days.

 

All I want to do is to update the Maximum width in the image slider for home page slider module. 

 

I need the maximum width of 1170px in that module.

 

When I save it the system confirms that this has been successfully updated but it reverts back to original 779px straight away.

 

Because of that I tried to update other settings (including the YES/NO autoplay setting) and the same happens - no change.

 

I have installed this several times in different locations and 2 versions. Same problem.

 

I have no idea why and it's most probably basic.  Maybe somebody can help.

 

I have tried to update css and even js manually but to no avail.

 

I have attached a jpg of what happens in a constructed image.

Yeah it's a bug, I hope Prestashop fixes it soon.

hello

make sure that HOMESLIDER_WIDTH field isn't duplicated in ps_configuration table in your database

[MGVDP]

Sorry Vekia, I got sidelined with more pressing matters.  I checked the database and there are no duplicates. I tried again and cannot update any settings in the homeslider module (including autoplay).  I can however add and delete slides.

Another thing I noticed is that I have difficulty at times to delete categories - I can however disable.

I have restructured my homepage to accommodate the inability to update the settings so it's not really a pressing matter any more but it would be interesting to find the answer.

I see you are an extremely helpful contributor to this forum and you have developed some interesting modules for prestashop, so you have all my attention from here onwards

Hi guys,

 

I'm having the same issue.

Could there be something hard coded in a file as I have purchased a template for my store.

 

Just wondering if I used the store after installation prior to using the theme that I added, if it would be an issue.

[MGVDP]

In my case this issue is happening in PS 1.6.08 and 1.6.09 on a fresh install with the default theme. I have found the entries in the database and I will try and change it directly in the database and see what happens.  I'll report the results

Just wrote some more about a workaround and where the width is hard coded here:

Hope this helps,

Because I wanted to update fields manually I found that there were indeed double entries - both installs have doubles, just different fields have doubles (depending on what I have been trying). The conclusion is that it was actually updating but to a different shop ID.

In my case it creates a different entry against shop ID 1.  How this is possible on a fresh install is beyond me. Anyway when updating directly in the database against ShopID : Null  HOMESLIDER WIDTH the slider behaves as expected. VEKIA you put me in the right direction, I just cannot understand how this happened in both my installations.

Excuse me, could you please tell in which table is located HOMESLIDER_WIDTH field?

Thanks.
