Simple Carousel header for Edge

[valquiria23 240]

Dear Zahid @JcMagpie

How can I hide the 3 circles of the carousel in this addon?

I need to hide them because if I put on the image text in that area those 3 horizintales circles get in the way....

Best regards

Simply edit------- public_html/includes/modules/content/header/templates/jccarousel.php

and comment out the following code.

<!--<ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
    <li data-target="#myCarousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
  </ol>-->

 

tested on my site and works fine. They do look better without them.

Hello Zahid @JcMagpie,

It would be better to use tep_image functions for the image calls.

Thank you @raiwa for your advice .

As others will maybe need more info on this perhaps you could explain the advantage of this over the simple html that I used?

I simply used this which most people will understand if they need to make changes.

<img src="images/<?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_HEADER_JCCAROUSEL_IMAGE1?>" alt="Image one">

The temp function is also quite simple.

tep_image(path_of_image, alt_tag_of_image, width_of_image, height_of_image);

which would change the code to somthing like this,

<?php

require('includes/application_top.php');

echo tep_image('images/' . 'MODULE_CONTENT_HEADER_JCCAROUSEL_IMAGE1', "Image one");

?>

Would be interesting to know the benefits gained on a simple 3 line add-on like this?

As always happy to learn and improve.

- compatibility with add-ons using the tep_image function to auto generate thumbnails like KissIt image thumbnailer

- ensure images are responsive (responsive image class is auto added)

- following oscommerce coding guidelines

- auto include title and alt from the second parameter

- shows nothing instead of broken image pic if image is not available

 

Another big improvement would be to use the built in banner functionality for the images.
