Ive recently incorporated the carousel sidebox to my site. This kinda works for what I envision but still falls a little short.

Ideally, id like to have a sidebox that would scroll a particular category/subcategory but I would be content just to be able to customize the header text for now. (without messing up any target coding that the carousel requires)

Any ideas or input is appreciated.

[contrive.it]

I got it. For anyone interested, I found the line 'BOX_HEADING_SPECIALS' , 'SPECIALS' in the english.php file

Just change the bold text to whatever you like. I went a little further and edited the css so there is no strikethrough for the original price (.normalprice) and changed the special price color (.productspecialprice) to match the background, thus invisible. Add in a little adjustment to center the normal price and voila! You have a custom scrolling box. Anything marked as a special item will be in the carousel.

Thanks again to the developers, Rock On!!

Check it out if you'd like.

[RescoCCC]

I haven't figured that one out, either. I changed padding-top:10px; to padding-top:0px; and that worked on one of my sites, but not on another of my sites.

[RescoCCC]

Note: The above was in response to merchantsofmenace.

Contrive,

Make sure you copy the edited english.php file to your overrides directory. That would be includes/languages/your_template

[contrive.it]

Also having this issue, any suggestions?

The space between the header box and the content is caused by a line in the source code and not the css.

<br class="clearboth"> is the code. It's most likely found in the carousel code and is necessary for layout purposes.

You can read about what clearing a float means and perhaps some alternatives here> css-tricks.com/795-all-about-floats/

[melirlbr]

so how can this be fixed?

[merchantsofmenace]

Yea, I still can't figure it out....thought I'd covered everything

[contrive.it]

so how can this be fixed?

You have to understand that you can't fix what isn't broken.

The code is there for a reason. Although you can find and remove it (probably in the new/featured/special carousel sidebox .php) , you may get even worse results. If you follow the link I suggested before, you "might" find and alternative that doesn't cause a line break.

Good Luck!
