i have found a django slideshow and have installed it following the guide bellow
https://github.com/clarle/django-slides
Download and place the 'slideshow' folder somewhere on your PYTHONPATH. (i placed it in site packages)
Add slideshow to your INSTALLED_APPS under settings.py. (I added it to satchmo store settings.py and also main satchmo settings.py to be sure)
To use a slideshow in another Django application, you can refer to the slideshow object as slideshow.Slideshow in your Django models. (this i was not sure how to do or if i needed to)
If you're not extending base.html, make sure you have jQuery 1.4.2+ and Slides 1.1.7+ in your templates somewhere. Use {% load slideshow_tags %} in whatever template you wish to use a slideshow in.
the module shows up in the satchmo admin page but when i try to add or change a slideshow i get an error
DatabaseError at /admin/slideshow/slideshow/add/no such table: slideshow_slide Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/slideshow/slideshow/add/ Django Version: 1.4.20 Exception Type: DatabaseError Exception Value:
no such table: slideshow_slide Exception Location: C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\sqlite3\base.py in execute, line 344 Python Executable: C:\Python27\python.exe Python Version: 2.7.9 Python Path:

i think its telling me that there is no database setup for the slideshow but am not sure if that is the case or if it is something else altogether as i am a python beginner, i would be gratefull for any help with this.
thanks

I managed to install the slideshow module from https://github.com/clarle/django-slides in satchmo
the solution in the end was really easy, all i had to do was to place the slideshow folder in my PYTHONPATH (i put it in the site packages directory)
i added 'slideshow',
to the INSTALLED_APPS section of my settings.py file in my custom satchmo store directory/folder.
and finally i opened a terminal/cmd prompt and executed the following command
python manage.py syncdb
and hey presto the modules were added, the database updated with the new tables and once i had run the server and logged into the admin page i am now able to setup my slideshow
i hope this helps anyone else who needs the slideshow in satchmo as the clue to updating the database came from another install guide for a different slideshow which i thought i would chance it and have a go.
