the read-me tells:
------------------------------------
The News are shown in a Sidebox.
You can chose between a static list or a java fadeout effect.

where can I find these settings?

Has anyone found out how to activate the Java Fade with this mod?
Thanks

As i described in the readme_EN.txt you will find this settings in the file
\includes\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl_news_scroll_box.php
Look at line 26 to get the sidebox settings
// Begin of News Sidebox Config
$layout = 1; // 0 = Java Script Fader | 1 = Static 10 last news
$shown_news = 10; // Number of Shown News
// End of News Sidebox Config

thanx for this information.
now I tried to re-install it but when loading the SQL true PHPMyAdmin I get an error:
SQL-query:
SELECT *
FROM `configuration`
WHERE CONCAT_WS( "-", '', 'News Box Character Count', 'NEWS_BOX_CHAR_COUNT', '200', 'Set the number of characters (bytes)
= "news_box_char_count"
ORDER BY '', 'News Box CharacterCount ', 'NEWS_BOX_CHAR_COUNT ', '200 ', '
SET the number of characters(
bytes LIMIT 0 ,
30
MySQL retourneerde:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'News Box Character Count ', ' NEWS_BOX_CHAR_COUNT ', ' 200 ', ' Set the numbe' at line 1
-----------------------------------
who knows a solution or cause or both ?!
you shouldn't need to reinstall the sql stuff... just change the php file and reupload it. that's what I did.
HOWEVER... I have an issue, and had to turn the fading back off, (even though it's very cool)
When I have the fading on, it also fades out my product listing titles, and they don't fade back in, they just stay gone. HELP? it doesn't affect anything else on the page, just the product listing titles. I am having other issues with those titles too, but at least with the fading turned off, they stay on the page... LOL

hi grayceworks,
You wrote : just change the php file and reupload it.
But what and how must it be changed?
find this file:
\includes\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl _news_scroll_box.php (or whichever template folder you are using, in the sideboxes folder)
follow the directions listed in above comments, reposted below:
Look at line 26 of the file in your text editor. It will look like this:
Code:// Begin of News Sidebox Config $layout = 1; // 0 = Java Script Fader | 1 = Static 10 last news $shown_news = 10; // Number of Shown News // End of News Sidebox Config
where it says $layout=1, you can see that it means a static link, instead of fading.
change it to say $layout = 0; and you will have it fading.
just reupload that file to the appropriate location, then make sure you use the "news box manager" in the "Tools" section of admin panel, to both create and publish news items.
Also use the "layout settings" section of the "Configuration" menu in the admin panel to adjust other news box settings. in this section, you'll find the 4 news box settings near the bottom:
News Box Character Count 200
News Box Width in px 140px
News Box Height in px 160px
Number of Shown News 5
. Hope this helps. And maybe someone can tell me what's wrong with mine... lol

Just wanted to point out that your installation instuctions mention the wrong file to turn on the scroller fadeout effect.
Ummm... Nope.. that's where the file should be... Unless you've installed it somewhere else? But that is the default place for it to be installed.
\includes\templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl _news_scroll_box.php
(or whichever template folder you are using, in the sideboxes folder)
And it's in that file that you set the settings mentioned above which turn it on. According to the readme instructions given WITH the contribution. And it DOES work... Just not with the way I personally have things modified in my ZenCart

i have the fadeout working no problem but the links to the news itself no loger functions -- just the news title without any link to the news display page.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
