Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

PS: (hate the time limit on edit)

Take some time and learn about the code. You'll be glad you did. Remember it took pros a long time to make it and butcher/cut/copy/paste isn't always the solution.

:book:

Believe me I appreciate your help and I mean absolutely no disrespect...but nothing for nothing, if it doesn't work then it's broke...if most people don't have the issue and some do, then it's broken somewhere...the link that you've provided is ambiguous, at least to this newbie, and doesn't point you in any clear direction. I've attempted everything suggested and I'm having a hard time believing that it's this difficult for some but not for all...I'm just gonna have to take it off my site altogether because it looks slapdash at best which is a shame because it's a great add on(after seeing it in action on other people's sites where it's positioned properly)...it honestly doesn't need to be this difficult....thanks and take care

Lets see if I got the translation of all that jabber correct...

**... and i mean absolutely no disrespect but... **

well thanks man, i have all the greatest respect for you too but the word but negates everything that precedes it.

**... nothing for nothing... <
**
well thats the smartest thing that comes out of all this. you put in nothing and you get nothing back.

...if it doesnt work then its broke...

translation: I, without even a simple knowledge of html or css, can surely tell these professional developers that they need to go back to school.

**...the link that you've provided is ambiguous, at least to this newbie, and doesn't point you in any clear direction. ...
**
translation: I don't want to read and learn, I just want the answers given to me dammit!

...I'm just gonna have to take it off my site altogether...

translation: (baby making whining noises and stomping is feet because he didnt get his way) Im just gonna go find someone elses code to copy/cut/paste/butcher

Well, i feel sorry for you kid so i'm going to give you the best advice ever. TAKE THE WHOLE SITE DOWN. You want to call yourself a web developer and merchant site builder but dont even want to know the basics of coding. HA! It's destine to fail. Spare yourself the embarrassment and spend your time learning to read.

:oops: I didnt mean to make you cry!

PS: HTML means hyper text markup language and CSS is cascading style sheets. Didnt want to confuse you anymore.

you know what, you're absolutely right....in my frustration, I took it out the totally wrong way. I honestly didn't mean any disrespect, at least not any intentional disrespect, however your little dressing down wasn't necessary either. I never once insulted your intelligence or made any disparaging remarks about you.

All I'm saying is that why does it work for some and not all? (seems to be the story of my life). I'm not trying to be a web designer, I'm just trying to sell stuff to people who want what we have. I didn't know I had to get that deep into the intricacies of HTML and CSS just to put up a fairly basic site. And I certainly wasn't telling any developer that I know better than them.

The bottom line is that some people are having this issue but most aren't and yes, I was looking for someone to tell me where to fix the problem but not because I'm lazy, but because nothing seemed to be working as it was spelled out by the weblink you sent.

So I apologize for any upset I may have caused, however your diatribe was far from justified.

All I'm saying is that why does it work for some and not all?

The problem is the inter-dependency between the main site CSS file and the CSS file for the add-on. Some elements are handled by one, some by the other. I solved the problem on one of my sites with a simple edit, but the same edit doesn't work on another. The difference is the template being used, and the stylesheet that goes with that template.

The fact that there are so many different templates is what makes the issue difficult to narrow down.

Thank you...that actually clears things up a bit...:clap:

I have the specials sidebox working well and have found where to change the title of the box. What i'd like to know now is where to change the link within.

The idea is to have the link go directly to the postcards category page while still keeping the products marked as "special" shown in the carousel.

>> PAGE <<

Any ideas?

Can anyone help me please i install the carousel sidebox but the items in the box are not changing.
thx.

Hi

I appreciate that you're new, so please don't take this the wrong way - please read through the entire thread here as various possibilities have already been covered.

Thank you, i did try reading all the post but i will go oven them again to see if i can solve the problem thx for taking the time to answer me

Hi,

I'm guessing but it may be the js file, the js files should be placed in your js folder (prob in your root directory). The tag for the js script should go in your html.header.php file in includes/templates/your template/common between the <head tags>.

Not sure if this the reason but might be something to do with it.

Hi Jagall thx for responding both of my js's are in this location public_html/MyStore/js my custom template came with a slider on the main page already i try putting the codes between the <head tags>, the pictures on the original slider become vertical instead of horizontal when i put the codes on the <base> instead nothing happens.

okay, not too familiar with other templates, is it from template monster? Possibly you may have a js conflict, that is there should only be one jscript library file running. now again I'm not entirely sure on this but I had alot of bother with js and sliders etc too and it was trial and error before getting them to work right but one issue was just having the one js library file i.e. jquery 1.4.4 (or whatever it is)? maybe someone else will chip in here with a better explanation.

the template that i'm running is from http://www.picaflor-azul.com
now if i need to run 1 js can you tell me how to do that

usually one jquery library file sits in your js folder and that is what your callout in your html file refers to, there maybe a case where you also have a min.js file. good luck

from where i can get this mod? and how much is cost? Thanks

Hi All,

First of All, thanks for a good module.

I do have a common issue which discussed in this forum. My buttons are not working. They used to work but not anymore.

it happened after i installed three different modules. I am not sure which one caused the problem but let me list them.

compare_multiple_products_1-0-2

expandable__collapsible_attributes_field_in_product_page_1-0

tabbed_products_pro_1-07 (1)

I think second one caused the problem because it has the same javascript file name as your module, jscript_jquery-1.4.4.min.

i did delete all module files of "expandable_collapsible....." module.

i changed <script> tags position to right after <base> tag

still no hope :(

can you help?
