on line 19

add ->

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SPECIALS);

now, you can see the specials box title

This is a full release with no bugs, so download with confidence.

Thanks to the original author for this contribution, also After Hours for modyfing it.

I have made the following tweaks :-

1) Added the center from After Hours
2) Have made it left to right scroll as this is how we read, so better than up and down and better than right to left.
3) Removed the awful ----- at the bottom of the scroll, so its a blank space now.

Example at http://www.vibratorsextoys.co.uk/index.php (Website is in final completition)

No installation file is included as all what you need to do is upload to catalog/includes/boxes and then find where your normal specials file links and change that to the file name.

Language is in English.

Only a simple translate of readme
and the inclusion of the "Quick Tweak To Properly CENTER 'specials_scroll.php' Box" to center the image and text in the box of specials in the scroll.

Una traduccion sencilla al español de las instrucciones y la inclusion de "Quick Tweak To Properly CENTER 'specials_scroll.php' Box" para que salgan centradas las imagenes y el texto en la casilla de las ofertas.

Esta distribucion dota de dinamismo a la web con un simple cambio que sustituye la casilla de las ofertas por otra con scroll vertical.
No requiere cambios en la base de datos, solo subir un archivo sin necesidad tampoco de sustituir o modificar el de la casilla de las ofertas, y luego sustituir una linea un archivo donde se indica lo que aparece en la columna de la derecha y listo.

La contribuccion Scrolling specials v1.0 es de Justin Rains. justin@portalplanet.net

y el añadido del centro de la imagen y texto en la casilla es de http://www.afterhours.co.uk

This box will put your specials in a scrolling marquee. The specials will scroll from bottom to top and scrolling stops when the user puts their mouse over the marquee.
