Support thread for JcM Index Banner Carousel Animated V1.0


JcMagpie

Recommended Posts

This is an Index add-on that lets you place a carousel banner on the index page of your site which can be animated if required.

It will show up to 8 banners. It allow start and finish dates to be set for the banners. This can only be done for the last 7 as the first must always be active for carousel to run. Banner will only show when start date is reached and will turn off on end date. The date must be entered in correct format.

Simply copy over all files install and turn on like any other add-on.

The overlay text for each banner and images can be set in the language file.

You can also select which pages it is to be shown on.

The animation is set by the header tags add-on which must be installed once only. It’s a bit complicated to explain but if you play with it you will figure it out. Each banner can have its own animation as can the 2 text groups on each banner. You can also use the animated class’s on any other add-on if you wish by simply adding the required class.

That’s it enjoy.

It has only been tested on Phoenix 1.0.5.4 only.

Can be seen working on this custom test site

HI @JcMagpie;

I'm running on Pheonix 1.0.6.0  and PHP 7.2

Just down loaded JCM Index Banner Carousel Animated V1.0.  Uploaded all the files.  Every thing seems to have gone correctly.  I only found 1 file to turn on: admin -> modules -> header_tags -> JCM animated class.  So I install it.  but I can find where to go to start building the Banners.  It is not showing up under any tabs in admin. 

Need help please.

Thanks for letting me know.  I looked all over that one.  Now I'm looking for you go to set up the banners.  I have never used this program before.  I have the images up but no idea where to put them.  Or set this up.  I'm probably overlooking it.  Like I did with content.

haven't used it just looking at the package 

there are some images in images/banners.  you might have to upload them manually. 

and in the content module you can probably make  the settings.  and he says that you can define the text in the language files.

I will install it if you can't figure it out

Okay I see where you have to manually put the images names in the language fields.   But I seem to have another issue.  When I click on the PHP to show errors the image goes to normal size.  and I have 2 errors/warnings.  I did a clean install of v1.0.6.0 and i restored my data files.  (to many items to key back in).  When I turn the php show errors off.  The image shrinks as shown above in a previous post.  I have emailed 1.0.6.0 but no one is able to help.  The errors are.  


Warning: Use of undefined constant MODULE_BOXES_CATEGORIES_MAX_LEVEL - assumed 'MODULE_BOXES_CATEGORIES_MAX_LEVEL' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /includes/modules/boxes/bm_categories.php on line 36

Warning: Use of undefined constant MODULE_CONTENT_HEADER_MESSAGESTACK_CONTENT_WIDTH - assumed 'MODULE_CONTENT_HEADER_MESSAGESTACK_CONTENT_WIDTH' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /includes/modules/content/header/cm_header_messagestack.php on line 24
 
They only poped up after I reinstall my data files.  System to seem to be running until now.

You are a bloody genus.  That got read of the messages.  Thank you.  I owe you. 

Now just one more problem. The banner is still small. Weather the PHP display errors is on or off.   

Just one more question I  for got to look at set up at the module/conntent/header/messagestack before I uninstalled.  When I instilled it  back it is at true , 12 and 0 (for sort order) is this correct?

12  because  you want it to be full length

0 because it has to come first

true because you want it

if it doesn't work let me know ii will install it.

 

it might not show the image because of its type

I added 4 images and I get this - all looking great. 

image.thumb.png.421fda1ecb265341941401d1dc53c5c2.png

After the 4th image shows it goes to the other.  image5 thru 8.

Here is the file if you want to look at, and make sure I worked it correctly. 

cm_i_index_banner2.php

I'm not seeing where the "Module-------Image5 thru 8 is coming form.  I blocked out the lines not needed.  Then I went to adim -> Module -> Content -> jcm index carousel banner and changed the end time on 5 thu 8 to 2019.  I hope all this was right.  It stopped the Module content image from showing. 

You have been a big help and I hope that I am moving in the right direction with this app. 

Thanks

I've hit another problem. I want to remove the banner text for showing up.

image.thumb.png.2cf3e1123666321c22322314cc3d67bd.png

I went in and committed out all the text lines in the file.  Thought that would do it.  But still missing something. 

What do I need to do??

excellent. any code that produces the desired result is fixed and working.

the constants are to be defined at a different part of the shop.

usually either in the language files or in the configuration table. 

they can be defined as '   '  to produce blank. 

THIS_CONSTANT_HAS_TO_BE_DEFINED

define('THIS_CONSTANT_HAS_TO_BE_DEFINED',' ');

Hi

I had phoenix 1.0.6 but I had so many errors with programs I decided to stop and wait and do a clean install.  I waited for 1.0.7.11.  So I have done a new/fresh install.  Now I'm trying once again to rebuild my site.  The App on the OSC site is an old one for JcM index Banner carousel Animated V1.0 for Phoenix 1.0.5.4.  last update 9 mths ago.  Is there an update version 1.0.7.11?  If there is can someone update the app for Phoenix?  I would like to reinstall it. 

Thanks
