Toastgnom Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks for this great contribution :) I'm using it and it works fine except for the navigation buttons. The don't show up. Neither the images nor the buttons. I've imported the images into /images/icons/ and imported the code into the stylesheet.css. But it doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea, what the problem might be? As said before, everthing else works just fine. --- Sorry for my english. English isn't my native language :) anyone know why I cant get more than 3 banners to rotate? when I added the 4th it ignores it. Thanks! Did you change "Banner Rotator Max Banners" in the admin-panel? You should find it under something like "configuration/Banner Rotator" - Can't tell the exact location, because my osCommerce is a german version. Edited July 27, 2011 by Toastgnom Quote
♥kymation Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Could be several things. Look at the page in your browser's View Source. Are the paths to the images correct? If you have osCommerce installed in a subdirectory, you may need to add the subdirectory name to the image string in the stylesheet. While you're in View Source, check the links in the head section to all of the Javascript and stylesheet pages. Are all of the links added in the instructions showing up?

cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Hello My problem is after installing the Banner Rotator that my admin sector change the size (much bigger). Why this? Thank you for helping Quote
cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Because I forgot: here again my questions: Hello My problem is after installing the Banner Rotator that my admin sector change the size (much bigger) and also move the columne. Can somebody help me? And also I like to know if I have to uninstall the frontpage modul after installing the Banner rotator? Becaus nothing is working. I am using OSC 2.3.1 Thank you for helping Quote
♥kymation Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 The changes to your Admin are probably caused by deleting files that you shouldn't have, particularly the files in catalog/ext/jquery/. Don't do that. This banner rotator is designed for osCommerce 2.2x. Using it on 2.3.1 is not recommended, and will require a number of code changes to work properly. I recommend that you use the Modular Front Page addon instead, as it has a Banner Rotator module with all of the correct changes.

cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Thank you Jim. One question: What I am doing wrong that my Banner rotator from Frontpage is not working and how can I place the Banner picture in the top of the main page? Thank you in advance for your help Quote
cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 And how I can make this banner in front page rotating? Best regards Cramli Quote
♥kymation Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 I don't know what you are doing wrong. I can't read minds. I suggest you read the instructions and check everything you have done. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Hello It's again me. What I am triying to do is a banner like on this page: http://www.ascafo.com/shop Any comment how I can do that? Thank you for the help Cramli Quote
♥kymation Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 That site is using the Banner Rotator module in Modular Front Page. You can do the same -- just read the instructions. Regards JIm Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Thank you. I was reading all about the modular front page modul, but I don't know where I make the mistake. Can you help me and explain how to bring up this rotator? Maybe I have to put a rotater group in the admin sector? Best regards Cramli Quote
♥kymation Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 I've answered your question. You are not going to get a different answer if you keep asking. I'm going to ignore any more questions, so don't even try. Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
cramli Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Thank you for the great help!! Without this my osc wouldn't be so NICE!! Hopefully other people will not have the same problems, because the help from JIM is one of the best here. Great and thank you Quote
alliemarie Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Hi Jim, Is there a way to remove the padding/space that appears to the left of the images? I cannot locate what is causing it. Thanks in advance! Allison Quote
♥kymation Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 There's no left padding that I'm aware of. The CSS positioning is to the top left corner of the bounding box. Either you have it inside something else that has left padding or you have some other CSS that's overriding the Banner Rotator CSS. Use Firebug or the built-in debugger in Firefox or Chrome to see what the controlling CSS is for that element. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
blonde_one Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Hi Jim, I have installed the Banner Rotator and it functions perfectly and looks beautiful on the site, thanks so much for this great contribution! I did notice however that it isn't outputting any alt text. The language id is set to 1 and there is text entered in both the banners_title and banners_html_text but neither is being output for any of the banners. Thanks in advance for your help, it is greatly appreciated! Best Regards, ~ Mandy Quote
♥kymation Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 The text in banners_html_text should show up. The banner rotator uses the stock osCommerce image function for this, so if the banner images show up the text should show as well. Perhaps the Javascript rotator is interfering. I don't know what's wrong so I can't suggest a fix. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
blonde_one Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Hi Jim, Thanks for the quick repy! In banner_rotator.php I changed the following: echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image']); to this: echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $banner['banners_image'], $banner['banners_html_text']); And now it outputs the alt and the title tags :) Is this the correct way of doing it? Thanks again! Best Regards, ~ Mandy Quote
♥kymation Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 You changed the code to the way it is in Version 1.2. Where did you get one without that code? And yes, that's the way it should be. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.
blonde_one Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Oh, great I thought I was using the latest version, I downloaded 1.2.1 from the contributions http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7461 ...which I now see was not posted by you, not good, I think I will download v.1.2 that you posted and compare all my code just to be sure that isn't my only issue! Thanks so much! Best Regards, ~ Mandy Quote
khoking Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Managed to install this contribution successfully! Thank you very much for the wonderful and simple to use contribrition! I have been looking for one for SOoooo long! One problem. On my computer / PC and Mac, no problem for the banner to display properly. http://shashinki.com/shop/ However, when browse using ipad, the banners are not stacked up, but displayed all out vertically. Has anyone tested on iPad? (Tried on Android phone, no problem.) Quote Best regards, Koh Kho King
♥kymation Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 That sounds like the Javascript is not working. Many mobile browsers have a problem with this. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

♥kymation Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Maybe upgrade the jQuery file to the latest version? osCommerce 2.2x is no longer supported, so I doubt this will ever be fixed. Upgrade to 2.3.3 and it should work. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

Fine on FireFox, but IE no good. :wacko: I have upgraded my jquery to the latest 1.8.0 version, still same problem. http://shashinki.com/shop/ Quote Best regards, Koh Kho King
