jScroller Sidebox Package Support Thread

[clydejones]

Well all was working and now it is not. I was using the specials scroller then disabled the special sidebox about a month ago. I wanted to use the What's New scroller so I made the changes to the file as suggested before that worked and it will not scroll at all.
I even re-uploaded the entire package, re-made the changes and still nothing.

Site URL is www.kennebecgiftsnmore.com

Thanks for the help!

A check of the page source indicates that you're missing the actual call to the scroller in that sidebox

<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="whatsnewHeading"><a href="http://kennebecgiftsnmore.com/index.php?main_page=products_new">New Products</a></h3>
<div class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">

it should look like this:

<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="whatsnewHeading"><a href="http://kennebecgiftsnmore.com/index.php?main_page=products_new">New Products</a></h3>
<div class="sideBoxContent centeredContent"><div class="scroller_container"><div class="jscroller2_up jscroller2_speed-20 jscroller2_mousemove">

Make sure you've renamed the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template.

I have made sure all folders are correctly named and the correct files exist in those folders, stil doesn't function. I have gone through the list of other mods I have installed and can only come up with one that I installed that might make a difference, CEONs URI SEO.

The scroller still works on my test server but I didn't install CEONs mod - very involved installation and not willing to break my test site.

Guess I will keep on looking for other possibilities.

Thanks,
Dave

I don't believe the SEO Mod would delete/remove the scroller div portion of the sidebox.

As I pointed out in my previous post that is what appears to be missing in the what's new sidebox.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_whats_new.php

and make sure this line of code is present

	$content .= '<div class="scroller_container"><div class="jscroller2_up jscroller2_speed-20 jscroller2_mousemove">' . $wn .'</div></div>';

Well here is a new look at this issue...

I installed the full package onto my test server and the only box that does not scroll is the what's new box, all others scroll properly. I looked at the source file and the whats new box is the only one missing jscroller div text.

The following is what the source is on my test server...

Any thoughts?!

Nevermind, I found the solution... I had the max value for Random New Products for SideBox set to 1, I changed it to 3 and all is fine. Talk about feeling stupid!!

I don't believe the SEO Mod would delete/remove the scroller div portion of the sidebox.

As I pointed out in my previous post that is what appears to be missing in the what's new sidebox.

open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_whats_new.php

and make sure this line of code is present

	$content .= '<div class="scroller_container"><div class="jscroller2_up jscroller2_speed-20 jscroller2_mousemove">' . $wn .'</div></div>';

Hi Clyde,

I installed this today on my site and suffered the same issue of the boxes not scrolling. I seen this post and decided to check the downloaded files. I have only checked the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_whats_new.php file and it does not contain the line of code you specify in the above quote.

I downloaded this package at the start of this week.

If you wish I can add in the missing code and re upload it to the downloads section?

I just downloaded the mod from the downloads section:

Hi Clyde,

I couldn't find it cause it never had the jscroller2_mousemove section. I checked all the files and they were all the same. I have it all working fine now and it stops when hovered over.

My initial issue was a very simple mistake on my part.. I only had 1 item displayed in the sidebox

I am yet to upload the best sellers sidebox and you will see that it does not stop scrolling when you hover over it. I have fixed the other 3 files.
