Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

[Ryk]

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?

It's almost certain to be that the jquery library exists somewhere else on your test site as well.

I can´t get this box to "play" - it works fine with the buy it now on the first product that shows up, but the products won´t change either by them selves or with the buttons. Installed as instructed, except there is no /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php, but a /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php
I put the patch in there, but there is no /head tag, so it may not be in the right place. My tpl_header.php now looks like this:

<?php

?>

<?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}

?>

As I've absolutely no idea of your abilities (other than you are clearly happy to "give-it-a-go" ) the rest of this has to be basic, but it is not intended to be patronising.

If there is no appropriate file in an override directory, then it means that that file has had no edits from the default (OR that any changes were made IN the default file itself).

In either case, you need to make a copy of includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php and make the edits to the copy.

Then upload this file to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

Thanks a bunch! I never understood where that html_header was - because it wasn´t there Works like a charm now - thanks again for your help.

Pleased to hear that you got it sorted - and even more pleased that it wasn't an issue with the module itself!

Very nice carousel.

Hi I have just installed this, something I have been hoping would be available and it is now but it is not working for me, I know something I am doing or not. I have s3slider running also and feel there is a conflict. The product appears in the feature box but will not scroll and buttons do not work. I have tried moving the two lines of code to different places in tpl_header but no real difference (actually not quite sure where it should go at all) nor am I sure about the advice to delete the jquery library as this may contribute also. cheers

Im confused, please help.
I dont have html_header. I have tpl_header.
If I make the new file html_header, what code do I out in it?

And also where does the 2 js files go?
which directory?

Dont quite understand and there is not enough support thread for me to read others questions to kind of get the grasp of how I can fix it.
Thanks, Lissa

I wanted to append to the message but I went over the 7 mins alloted time. So just disregard the above.
Here is the appended message:

m confused, please help.

My carousel is up, but it doesnt move and the buttons dont work.

I know someone else said something similar to this but i didnt quite understand the answer or how it was resolved.

I just uploaded them to my main cart directory but I wasnt sure if they went in a specific directory.

Dont quite understand.
Thanks, Lissa
