Will see about making a package for this.

Very nice site Kiddo.

It may be my tiny monitor ( I don't have one of those fancy 20 inch flat screen monitors), but I need to scroll to the right to view your page.

Has anyone else mentioned it?

Again, it may be just me.

Thanks for nice comment. And yes, it's been mentioned both by me and others. The boss likes it just like it is but maybe next round of mods I may be able to get him to say OK to narrowing it up a bit.

I save your comment with the others for when it is time to bring it up again. Right now, I just be happy to get past the holiday with as little smoke as possible :)

Wanting to make a sidebox with some samples. Would youtube be the way to go? Seems to be on the same line as what you did.

@kiddo - Could you kindly reply with the text of the script you place in html_header.php? I am having a hard time finding the right script on Adobe.com.

Thank you!

So the scrolling feature with the "Mountains of Savings" thingy...how do you do that? I would love to have something like that on my sites that links to products when the thumbnails are clicked on! Very nice!

The scrolling widget can be found here:

Snowcat wants $35-ish for a commercial license, but is worth it.

Putting it in your Zen Cart is not difficult. It runs on an XML (text) file that says what pictures to show, what link to go to when clicked on, and what text to show.

I made a PHP program that picks movies from the ZC database, creates the XML file, and then updates the Zen Cart Specials table to make them be on sale. Each time I run the script I get a new set of sales and images in that widget.

I also have a small PHP function that makes images optimized for the scrolling display. Kind of like IH2, but can be called from anywhere with size and compression level passed in the function call. (very handy)

Well, I am trying out the free version before spending the money, to see if I can do it. I created the XML file and that was easy...I just used my file from Google Base Feeder and copied the appropriate lines into the images XML file. I added the code to the header of my main page define file and the <div> line inbetween the body tags in my template. I also uploaded the swf file and the images XML file with the main page define file and nothing is showing up. Am I missing something? I am not an expert at this stuff!

I'll post the code I use to embed the object and a sample of the xml file that I use shortly. I should be at my workstation within the hour.
