Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

hey me again,

As usual, i solved my own problem after seeking help from Forums lol i don't know why but this always happens :D

The problem was html_header; i was using default_template's html_header as my template did not have any so my tab module changed it and added new html_header file to my current template. After i added <script> tags, it works perfect now :)

Thank You

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

Is it possible to use this on a page outside of zencart? I'd like to have it on my blog (on my domain) to entice people into my shop!

I've tried using the sidebox anywhere mod, but can't get it to work.

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

Hi,
I just Installed this module today on the free electronics black template.

I didn't see the file html_header.php in my /includes/templates/black_pure_free/common/ folder

I did find it in the /includes/templates/template_default/common/ folder

So I went ahead and inserted the lines mentioned it the install

<script src="js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script src="js/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

I activated the new sideboxes in Admin->Tools->Layout Boxes Controller

All great :)

Now, how do I configure the module to has the same lay out as in the example website http://www.babyshower.ie ?
I am really interested in have the scrolling products in the the Most Loved section at the bottom of the home page and categories sections.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

It's really a nice add-on. Good job.

Ok, I installed it. The carousel displayed in my site with the BUY and PREV/NEXT buttons.

The problem is that I can't PRE/NEXT buttons don't scroll and not automatic scrolling after 5 seconds. It will change when I will refresh the page.

Another thing, the carousel is not displaying on the other pages of my site. It is only display at the main page.

I have followed the instruction, put the 2 lines of code <script> before the <head> tag and uploaded the files in their respective folders in my webserver. I using Clyde Designs Glacial Age template.

I put the JS scipts under the JSCRIPT folder under Glacial Age folder.

I don't know whats caused the carousel not to scroll.

Anybody can help?

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

I had a similar issue on this mod, I simply did a trial and error method by placing the 2 js script lines together in various places in my html_header.php file. as I say it was trial and error but it worked for my (heavily modified html_header.php file). Also ensure you copy your file into YOUR CUSTOM TEMPLATE FOLDER as you will lose your changes in any future upgrade.

Hi there,

place:

<script src="js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script src="js/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

before the closing between the opening and closing head tag either just before </head>.
I place my script just after the <head> tag.
Hope this helps.

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

I love this mod, but it has an issue I haven't been able to solve. I've been working on eliminating the validation errors for my web site. I started with over 60, and am now down to 8, all of which are generated by this mod. Note: It's currently 8 because I only have one box activated. If I activate the others, it produces many more.

It generates multiples of this:

Line 175, Column 443: ID "carouselPrice" already defined

*…te domed costume earrings</a><div id="carouselPrice">$24.95</div><div><a href=…

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).*

Each error is, of course, generated by a different item. I have 8 right now because I have 8 featured items.

Anybody have any ideas how to fix this?

Hi I have had this too and what seems to work right or wrong? but works. When you have two or more carousel going e.g. whats new or featured or specials, the div id is accepted once so change the div id to div class for carouselPrice in two of the three carousel php files. good luck

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

Hi

I have used this extension on a previous site with no problems but I am having a problem with it on a new site. It is not showing the buy now button or the price or the product name.

Perhaps there a setting I have forgotten about in zencart admin? Or it might be a css thing.

This is the css that seems to affect the visibilty of these elements:

.scrollable2 {
/* required settings /
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
width: 163px;
height:250px;
}
.scrollable2 .items {
/ this cannot be too large */
width:20000em;
position:absolute;
clear:both;
}

I hope someone can help.:smile:

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

I'm wondering if this is possibly for installation under Zencart 1.5.0?

If not, is there something available out there in the vast "interweb" that is compatible with Zencart 1.5.0 that does what this does?

Re: Carousel Sidebox - New, Featured & Specials: SUPPORT THREAD

Loving the carousel and managed to blend it into the current theme OK. Just one little problem that I cannot seem to get my head around and that is closing the gap between the What's New header and the scroller itself. As you can see from the screenshot there is a band of background red showing between the two and I want it to close down like the Information box beneath does.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
