jQuery Scrolling Sideboxes [Support Thread]

[lat9]

Could be a glitch in includes/modules/sideboxes/specials_scrolling.php. Am getting

[26-Apr-2019 20:38:34 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/******/public_html/155_new/includes/modules/sideboxes/specials_scrolling.php on line 10

--> PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/******/public_html/155_new/includes/modules/sideboxes/specials_scrolling.php on line 10.

Of course, I validated each of these ... except the specials. I'll get another point-release going. Thanks, as always, for keeping me honest.

I've just submitted v2.1.1 for review, correcting that parse-error introduced in v2.1.0.

Was just hoping the new files would cure the non-changing images on one site. Will try the new file.

I'm sure you don't get told enough how those of us ZCers appreciate your work on our behalf.

Used to have a sign on my desk that said, "Pobody's Nerfect!" It's my mantra!

No more errors but, the images still do not change.

Think I'll be going to a new install test site.

Make sure that the jscript_side_box_slider.js is present in the site's active template's /jscript sub-directory and that there are no console-logs (indicating that there's a jQuery conflict/issue).

Seems that there is a php error in putting the new files together. Includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_specials_scrolling.php line 16

$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($ss_pid), 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($scrolling_specials->fields["master_categories_id"]) . "&products_id=$ss_pid"]) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $scrolling_specials->fields['products_image'], $ss_pname, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

should be

$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($ss_pid), 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($scrolling_specials->fields["master_categories_id"]) . ["&products_id=$ss_pid"]) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $scrolling_specials->fields['products_image'], $ss_pname, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

The above gets the images to change on a new install with demo items. I get the exact same console readings from the new and the old although the old never changes the image.

I'll slowly add other mods to see when it breaks.

[lat9]

Actually, the change should be to remove those brackets:

$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($ss_pid), 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($scrolling_specials->fields['master_categories_id']) . "&products_id=$ss_pid") . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $scrolling_specials->fields['products_image'], $ss_pname, SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);

This is staged on the plugin's GitHub repository for a v2.1.2 release.

I've just submitted v2.1.2 to the Zen Cart Plugins for review, correcting the issue that @dbltoe identified in post #56. I'll update this thread when the plugin is available for download.
