Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

[Ryk]

This is the support thread for our newly presented Ajax module which will allow you to display all or any of your New, Featured & Specials products on a carousel in a sidebox. You can see an example of it in action at http://www.fastlec.co.uk

It is a very simple installation - all new files, no overrides, no database changes and just one simple manual edit.

The module is currently awaiting review/authorisation in the downloads section,

Oops - sorry, that should be http://www.fastlec.co.uk for the demo

The mod has now been approved by the ZC Dev Team and is available from the Free Software section at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1904

Another demo can be seen at http://www.babyshower.ie

Hi, that's a good module. Took me a while to find our why there was no price for what's new. Seems to be a typo

tpl_whats_new_carousel.php

line #29

    $content .= '<div id="carouselPrice>' . $whats_new_price . '</div>';

    $content .= '<div id="carouselPrice">' . $whats_new_price . '</div>';

Hi i was wondering if this module includes the option to enable and/or disable it.

Thanks

I'm experiencing longer loading times with this add-on. I think it's a great add-on and was wondering if I would be possible to tweak loading times a little..

thanks

I have got this module installed in my test shop and although it does show a product, it doesn't do any rotation of products and the buttons do not respond.

Any ideas?

Hi - you just turn it on/off in the normal fashion via the admin > tools >layout_boxes_controller

I'll pass that on to the developers, but as as I'm aware, it will load ALL the appropriate images so the number of items you have on special/featured so you could try reducing the numbers, and - perhaps more importantly - ensure all your images correctly optimised.

May I just apologise to everyone for the slow response...for some reason, the first notification of posts here only arrived today.

Yes - nearly drove me nuts trying to find the problem with developers adamant that it should be working! Finally spotted it and uploaded a new version to the Free Software section the other day.
