scrolling_specials FOR Oscommerce 2.3.1

REPLACE catalog/includes/modules/boxes bm_specials.php by files in the contrib.

ENJOY

NOTE TO STS USERS:

you will need to use the original file names:

scrolling_specials.php > rename to specials.php (back up your orginal first in case you want to go back!)

ignore the instruction about amending anything in column_right.php (the orignal code there is fine).

That's it !


Note: no files attached - I used osc_devl package dated 13 Jan 2008

Sorry bout that. I use a standard template for install files and forgot to change the filename from another contribution we released. Noticed in the weekend and just had time to update now.

Also removed a small amount of useless code from the scrolling_specials.php file.

Should work a bit nicer now ;)

Open /catalog/includes/header.php and find;

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');


Should be:

/catalog/includes/column_right.php

Open /catalog/includes/header.php and find;

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');


Not found in the RC1, where can I find it?

my catalog/includes/header.php dont have this~


(no file updated)

Update includes two main fixes;

1. Now works in and tested for Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
2. Fixed alignment issue causing listings to be slightly right aligned, while still looking centrally aligned.

This contribution will replace your current specials box with a more Web 2.0 Scrolling Box, originally based off webcap's 'Scrolling Specials Bos' but altered significantly to tackle some page load issues.

- This contribution will load 1 special at a time into the box, this way it does not rely on a 'preload' of the entire specials cache.

- The scroll effect will move from bottom to top and pause on each item for a few seconds. If the user moves their mouse over the item, the scrolling effect is delayed.
