Hi Benjamin,

 

What old add-on did you try to install? If you tell us we might be able to help.

The old add-ons haven't been coded to work with osc2.3.4bs i.e. not responsive (BTW there's no 2.3.5bs).

 

When you say old, for which version of osCommerce was it written for. If it's for osc2.2 then the add-on would need to be completely re-written. If it's for osc2.3.x then it most likely can be modified to work with 2.3.4bs. The current osc2.3.4bs module boxes are now made up of 2 files; the main module and a template file inside the template folder. If you have a look at the currently installed modules in "catalog\includes\modules\boxes\" and "catalog\includes\modules\boxes\templates\" you will get idea of how they are coded and using bootstrap.

 

cheers

Benjamin,

 

You need to make sure the add-ons you select are bootstrap versions if you're installing on osc2.3.4BS. At the moment there aren't that many bootstrap versions available. The ones that are bootstrap will state that they are.

 

Look at this thread here: http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/399572-28-days-of-code-february-2015-rocking-oscommerce/ and then add yourself to the mailing list on the 28daysofcode site.

 

This particular add-on (scrolling boxes) you installed isn't a bootstrap version. It will require some recoding. If I get a chance I will have a look at it. Or perhaps @@De Dokta can assist. :D

Just an attempt on the fly as an example for the specials scroller. :rolleyes: Tested in bootstrap gold.

Awesome. Thanks Doc. Save me a bit of work. :thumbsup: Things we do for people. :D

 

Have created and uploaded new package for both boxes with some slight changes to the one you posted (full package for both an unchanged non-bootstrap version and the new bootstrap version).

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8065

The bootstrap version probably requires the other languages as only english is included.

 

Don't really like the way marquee leaves a blank space between first and last products (I read a while back that the marquee tag was deprecated). May fix that one day using something like what I've done in the Customer Testimonials scroll box using jQuery (where it also pauses inside the box), or unless there is a way with bootstrap. Need to investigate.

 

thanks heaps

 

cheers

Ok, since I'm not really satisfied with the marquee version, I've tried something else with jquery.

 

ext/jquery/ add a new file jquery.scroller.min.js:

(function($){$.fn.scroller=function(options) {var that=this;$(window).load(function() {var settings={transition:750,pause:5000,directionIn:1,directionOut:-1,height:150,}; if(options)$.extend(settings,options); var featuresWidth=that.width(),ul=that.find("ul"),li=ul.find("li"),liWidth=li.width(),t=undefined,on=false; that.css({overflow:"hidden"});li.hide().first().show(); var featuresHeight=ul.height(); ul.css({width:featuresWidth+"px",position:"relative",height:settings.height+"px"}); var position=li.first().position();li.css({position:"absolute",width:liWidth+"px"}); var loop=function(){if(on)return;on=true; var li=that.find("li"),first=li.first(),next=first.next(); first.css("top",position.top+"px").show().clone().hide().insertAfter(li.last()); next.css({"top":settings.directionIn*featuresWidth+"px",opacity:0}).show(); first.animate({opacity:0,top:settings.directionOut*featuresWidth+"px"},settings.transition,function(){$(this).remove();}); next.animate({opacity:1,top:position.top+"px",},settings.transition); setTimeout(function(){on=false;},settings.transition); if(t) t=setTimeout(function(){loop();},settings.pause);} 
that.hover(function(){clearTimeout(t);t=undefined;},function(){t=setTimeout(function(){loop();},settings.transition);});t=setTimeout(function(){loop();},settings.pause);});return this;};})(jQuery);

You can see the difference between the two approaches here - New Products with jquery, Specials with marquee.

 

And if someone want to try it: jquery Scroll Box.zip - contains only files for New Products Scroll Box. Installation is simple: Upload files to the appropriate folders, install the module in Admin -> Modules -> Boxes, configure it to your need - ready!

I always did like at least one scrolling box but I do think its a bit old hat these days.

 

Maybe freshen it up a bit and make it fade in/out, just a thought.

I'll do my best, if I find the time! But why don't you try it yourself? Take the specials files from the contrib that Auzstar created and compare it with my new products files. Then you will see what to do. The difference is not that big.

Hi JJ

Will have a go, and see what happens. Will let you know.

 

Also, with the new products shown in the scroller, can the number of products shown be increased, or how are the products shown, "selected" as on the index page I have 6 new products shown, but in the scroller it shows 10 and I would like to increase to say 20/30 random products.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have problems.. :)

 

The number of new products displayed in the scroller is defined by Admin -> Configuration -> Maximum Values -> Selection of Random New Products. To increase the number of products shown at the same time would mean to change the script or to write a new one :wacko: .......

You can knock off now, next shift has arrived :)

 

I've investigated a way of doing it with bootstrap carousel. Still testing. Works OK in IE11 so far but not scrolling properly in Chrome. Still to check FF.

Might look at fade-in/out also as PupStar suggested.

[auzStar 147]

Hi guys,

 

I've created a new Specials box - fading version (file attached) - using bootstrap carousel, if you'd like to have a look at.

(Please remove any installed Specials/Specials Scroller boxes first via admin)

 

I've also created a Specials scrolling version, also using bootstrap carousel, but getting it to scroll vertically with some css. Tested OK in IE11, latest FF and latest Chrome but not scrolling too perfect in Chrome. In Chrome, the current display just disappears instead of easing out, otherwise all good. Tried a few things to fix but nothing worked. I'll post this code here for everyone to look at and possibly test to see if anyone can uncover what the issue is with Chrome.

 

Aim is to eventually package complete working versions that everyone is happy with, with the ability to choose between scroll or fade, for both What's New and Specials.

 

At the moment, neither have the extra options i.e. up/down for scrolling etc. It's a work in progress.

 

Below is the code for the bootstrap carousel "vertical scrolling" version for the Specials box. (The attached file is the fading version)

Benjamin. Is this De Dokta's one above or the one from the add-ons? If it's De Dokta's one, make sure you followed all the steps. Did you create the new ext/jquery/jquery.scroller.min.js from De Dokta's post (8) above? Maybe that's the reason why it's not scrolling.

Make sure you always remove existing modules in admin before you upload new files (backup existing files first), then install new module.

 

Also, have you tried the new Specials fading version?

Hi Doc,

 

I saw that you recently added a new bs package to the "Scroll Boxes" addon (replace scrolling marquee with js scroller): http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8065

 

d'oh! :(

 

I was also about to add a new bs package which I'd been working on but this one uses bootstrap carousel with the ability to enable swipe feature. Has a few options to enable/disable various other features. The bs version is ready and have almost completed updating the non-bs version with the js scroller since I thought I would be a good idea to remove the marquee scroller from there also. I thought the swipe feature would be a good idea for the bs version for use on mobile devices.

 

I hope you don't mind if I add this new package for both versions, or do you want a test run first? 

 

cheers
