Scrolling Best Sellers Box - photos won't center

[Guest]

I just installed the Scrolling Bestseller with Images contrib.

 

As you can see here at my site, the photos in the Best Seller Box won't center. What do I need to add to the best_sellers_scroll.php file to get these photos in the middle of the box? Here's the code:

 if (isset($current_category_id) && ($current_category_id > 0)) {
$best_sellers_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_ordered > 0 and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" .

 } else {
$best_sellers_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION .

"' order by p.products_ordered desc, pd.products_name limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_BESTSELLERS);
 }

 if (tep_db_num_rows($best_sellers_query) >= MIN_DISPLAY_BESTSELLERS) {
?>
<!-- best_sellers_scroll //-->
	  <tr>
		<td>
<?php
$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_BESTSELLERS);

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

$rows = 0;
$bestsellers_list = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">';
while ($best_sellers = tep_db_fetch_array($best_sellers_query)) {

}
$bestsellers_list .= '</table>';

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

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>
		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- best_sellers_scroll_eof //-->
<?php
 }

Thanks for the help!

Change this line:

 

$bestsellers_list = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">';

 

to:

 

$bestsellers_list = '<table align="center" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">';

 

That should fix it.

[Guest]

Nope. That isn't working. Photos are still left-adjusted. ???

 

Any other ideas?

[Guest]

Sorry, it should be this line:

 

$bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top">' . '</td>

 

change it to this:

 

$bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" align="center" valign="top">' . '</td>

[Guest]

That's not fixing it, either.

 

Actually, I tried that earlier; but, took it out when I saw it didn't work.

 

I put it back after you suggested it, just to be sure, and...nope.

 

I'm now back to just the original file with none of the previous adjustments in place.

 

Are you stumped now? I am.

[Guest]

Perhaps you could look at the file for What's New and find the answer?

 

I mean, the photos and text in that box are centered. Would it have something to do with the number sequence in Best Sellers? On that note, is there a way to get rid of the numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc. and just show a running list of Best Sellers with no ratings-number list?

[Guest]

From your original code change this:

 

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

 

to this:

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

[Guest]

I'm sorry, but, that doesn't work, either.

 

This is almost comical, huh?

[Guest]

yea ok, you also need one other thing at the top of the previous change, I guess:

 

this code:

$bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top">' . '</td><td class="infoBoxContents">'. '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $best_sellers['products_id']) . '">' .tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $best_sellers['products_image'], $best_sellers['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT).'<br>'. tep_row_number_format($rows). '. <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $best_sellers['products_id']) . '">' . $best_sellers['products_name'] . '</a></td></tr>';

 

change it to this:

$bestsellers_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents" valign="top">' . '</td><td class="infoBoxContents">'. '<center><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $best_sellers['products_id']) . '">' .tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $best_sellers['products_image'], $best_sellers['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT).'</a></center><br>'. tep_row_number_format($rows). '. <center><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $best_sellers['products_id']) . '">' . $best_sellers['products_name'] . '</a></center></td></tr>';

 

should work its how I have it on my site.

 

PS I did a change closing the first <a> tag I think was left open on your original

[Guest]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! You're a genius!

 

If I may bother you some more, do you know how to get rid of the numbers of the items so they don't appear? Most everything I sell is one of a kind and there's no need for them to be seen onscreen in any numeric order, like, 1, 2, 3. For me, it's enough just to have the items there with their photos and links.

[Guest]

ok remove this code:

 

. tep_row_number_format($rows). '.

 

notice there is an extra space at the end of that code.

[Guest]

Took me a few minutes to get that right, but, works perfectly! Thanks so much; have a great weekend!
