jScroller Sidebox Package Support Thread

Been playing with this. Got as far as triple spacing the brand names.

Even tried a contribution that promised one file would do it all. Nope.:(

Can you help with this one?

Sure, if you tell me what it is you need help with.

Well, I was comparing the best sellers sidebox pages in the MY_TEMPLATE directory to the closest manufacturers.php page respectively and making the changes there. I think I am way off.

Which manufacturers sidebox are you trying to modify?

includes/modules/sideboxes/manufacturer.php

webskipper:

includes/modules/sideboxes/manufacturer.php

The actual part of the sidebox that needs to be modified is:

includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_manufacturers_select.php

But that creates a dropdown list of manufacturers.

Since you want a scrollling sidebox, You'll probably have better luck using the sidebox for list manufacturers logos Since this will scroll the logo as well as the name.

Clyde,
Extremely nice mod! Looks perfect in IE but for some reason Firefox I get no scrolling. http://gigiann.com/shop

Just checked the site you referenced in FF and the scrolling works just fine.

This is a good mod. I have installed on my site. But I have question: Can this modified to scroll horizontal, look like image ticker.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/

select the sidebox you wish to modify

find the following line of code:

$content .= '<div class="scroller_container"><div class="jscroller2_up jscroller2_speed-20 jscroller2_mousemove">' . $fp .'</div></div>';

change the highlighted portion to one of the following (depending on the direction you want to scroll)

jscroller2_left
jscroller2_right

Thank you for reply Clyde:
I already did what you say, but the images still within 1 column. What I mean is all images within 1 row.

Look like this http://jscroller2.markusbordihn.de/example/image-scroller/.

Can you provide the URl for your site?

If you want just one row to scroll either left/right you'll need to adjust the height property in the stylesheet from 1500px down to just the height of the image (190px)

This add-on works like a charm, many thanks!

I was wondering.... could this be modified to work with "what's new" & "specials" centerboxes too? ...or is there another mod available which does this? If so, i could not find one.

It would be neat to have the "what's new" & "specials" center boxes be a fixed height and show a horizontal scroll of side-by-side products.

It probably would need the re-writing of 1 or more core files to accomplish.

Okay. thanks.

Here's another question: When my scroll reaches the end and starts to repeat, there's a blank space which appears to be the equivalent of the height of a product before the scroll starts again. Is this adjustable? I'd like to minimize or eliminate the blank space.

You can try making adjustments in the jscroller stylesheet

Yeah, that's where i looked first ...but there's nothing there that has a height, padding top/bottom, or margin top/bottom to account for the excess space i'm seeing.

I have the scroller enabled for both bestsellers and whats new boxes and they both exhibit the same white space on the end of the scroll. Same space is visible whether viewed in IE 7 , IE8, as well as the Firefox.
