Hi,

Nice contribution was just wondering if you could help me with a couple of things.

The 1st one is can you have the scrolling box for each language as currently it shows the same image for all three languages. Also can you limit the amount of clips it shows? E.g the last 5 new clips or something.

Thanks,

Craig

I like, thank you

Hi

Nice contribution, thanks.

I think a nice add-on would be to give the customer the option to stop and start scrolling.

Just what I was looking for. I had the scrolling specials in and that really has pushed sales, especially after I managed to make it choose a random selection of items from the db. I started trying to modify the code so I could have the same for the new items but was beyond me so had a quick look and here it is . .great although on my store I could not get it to centre the items so added a old school <div align= so if anyone can help with that one I would much rather get rid of the div if poss. I did try copying some of the code from the specials  which centres no problem but without any luck.

Anyway, thanks for the help , great contrib.

see it . . www.binkycrafts.com/shop/

Sorry for too late response, I don't know if you managed to complete it or not
however to scroll it horizontally, you need a minor code changing
around line no.36 in whats_new.php

	$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<MARQUEE behavior= "scroll" align= "center" direction= "up" height="160" scrollamount= "2" scrolldelay= "70" onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>'.$bestsellers_list.'</MARQUEE>');

change the direction="up" to direction="right" or direction="left"
like this

	$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<MARQUEE behavior= "scroll" align= "center" direction= "right" height="160" scrollamount= "2" scrolldelay= "70" onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>'.$bestsellers_list.'</MARQUEE>');

sorry for late response, this is simple html <marquee> tag
you can google it and you will find a lot of options to control this movement, speed, direction, delay etc.

This does not work for me. I'm using v. RC2.2a and just keep getting errors. I only want 3 images on the What's New box, no scrolling, but I can't seem to write it out in php.

[2johnsons]

How can I use this for my best sellers box?

Thank you

Hi mirza_yasir4,

I installed it without any problems but the display is not centered. I also installed at the same time the addon for Scrolling Specials found here which is centered. Your's seems to be aligned left. How can I center the scrolling in the middle of the what's new box?

Thanks.

Go into code and find where alignment is left, just replace it with center

Thanks Yasir,

Tried that but that didn't solve the problem. I also tried adding adding the following at line 36 which didn't work either:-

 $info_box_contents[] = array ('align' => 'center',
											 'text' => '<MARQUEE behavior= "scroll" align= "center" direction= "up" height="160" scrollamount= "2" scrolldelay= "70" onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>'.$bestsellers_list.'</MARQUEE>');

That marquee code does state align center but for some reason it's align left and not in the center of the box.

Thanks.

What is your shop's address ? url ?

Try this
Line 28 to 21

	$bestsellers_list = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">';
	while ($whats_new = tep_db_fetch_array($whats_new_query)) {
	  $rows++;
	  $bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top">'  . '</td><td class="infoBoxContents">'. '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $whats_new['products_id']) . '">' .tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $whats_new['products_image'], $whats_new['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT).'<br>'. tep_row_number_format($rows). '. <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $whats_new['products_id']) . '">' . $whats_new['products_name'] . '</a></td></tr>';

replace the above with this

	$bestsellers_list = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" align="center">';
	while ($whats_new = tep_db_fetch_array($whats_new_query)) {
	  $rows++;
	  $bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top" align="center">'  . '</td><td class="infoBoxContents" align="center">'. '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $whats_new['products_id']) . '">' .tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $whats_new['products_image'], $whats_new['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT).'<br>'. tep_row_number_format($rows).

Very nice contribution but I am having some problems.  When I added this contribution to my site, all of my products got shifted and are now appearing underneath the "what's new" area. My products used to appear up by my header but are now all the way down at the bottom on the page. PLEASE HELP!!
