Simple instructions for Cool Flash Carousel 3.0.1

1:Download Flash Carousel and unzip it to a folder (your choice)

2:Before you begin please backup all your store files and database

3:If your store is new and you have not made any modifications,you may

copy the new files and the modified files to your catalog.The only folder

that can be copied complete to your catalog is the kampanya folder which

goes in the yourstore.com or yourstore.com/catalog. All other folders must

be opened and the individal files put in the proper folders in your store.

4. Make sure to change permissions to kampanya folder to 777 or windows to

red,write,ececute.It may be needed to make sure all files and folders

inside the kampanya folder are set to 777 to and the main image folder

and the files inside the image folder to 777 in your catalog folder.

(Had to do this on rc1 with modified template to make it work)

5:Go to c_panel and open phpMyAdmin,find the database name on the left

for your store and open it. On the right you will see a place at the top

that says import,open it,you will see a button that says browse,

open it and find the folder database_sql,find flash_carousel_english

or the one you need and open it. Then go the bottom of phpMyAdmin and

hit go button.

6: The carousel will not appear until you add some products to the

backend of your store Look under catalog/Flash Carousel in you admin section.

7.Also in your admin section Configuration/Flash Carousel change the

Don't Show Products Below o to a number like 3.

8.For modified shops follow the directions http://www.oscommercex.com/

9.And don't forget to change permissions on files and folders and download

the new files to your store and run the sql file in phpMyAdmin.

10. One final note when you come to the end of the manual instructions

Edit /catalog/index.php (two instances) This means you have two places

in the index.php to modifiy, not just one.(took me an hour to figure that one out)

The instructions says find this: <tr>

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

</tr> There will be two of them in the index.php add the code in front of both.

11. My final note: If using a modified template the file may look like this

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?> or something different.

It would be a safe bet just to look for this: DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS and add the code.

Hope this helps someone.

I am sure I put this in the wrong section, would a Mod please move it to the correct one, Thanks
