[Addon} Modular Front Page

[♥kymation]

The left and right columns are not part of this Addon. Search the Addons section for banner boxes; I believe there is at least one.

Thanks kymation for all your help. I have managed to create an additional featured module named featured_two but have 2 issues.

 

1. When selecting Install Module i seem to get the following error:

 

Warning: include_once(includes/functions/modules/front_page/featured_two.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\oscommercenew\catalog\includes\modules\front_page\featured_two.php on line 39

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/functions/modules/front_page/featured_two.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\oscommercenew\catalog\includes\modules\front_page\featured_two.php on line 39

 

When i change this value to featured.php then i am able to install the module but cannot see any products but can see the title. Any ideas where i have gone wrong?

 

Thanks once again.

[♥kymation]

You are right, that particular value should not be changed. Leave the function name as 'featured.php'. Then uninstall and reinstall your module.

You may have messed up your database with previous installs. Search the configuration table for keys starting with MODULE_FRONT_PAGE_FEATURED_ and delete any duplicates.

Hey this add-on conflicts with store mode :( Can someone advise me another place to put the code in catalog/index.php?

 

Thanks,

I have no idea what a "store mode" is, so no.

kymation, thanks for your response. I have checked the database and there are no duplicate keys within the configuration table. I have reinstalled both modules and reinstalled but 2nd still doesnt work. I'll try saving it down from the 1st version... thanks for your help btw, really appreciate it.

Super Great Addon one of the best and easiest to install and use!

 

I do have 1 small problem with Text Main:

 

If I add simple text it will allow you to go back and edit the text.

 

If I add text with HTML the module will not let me go back and re exit the text. Gives this error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hermes/bosweb/web013/b138/nf.kg4ena/public_html/home/admin/modules.php(237) : eval()'d code on line 1

 

If I uninstall module and reinstall the module re-add the text and save it is ok. Other wise It is the best module ever.

This is the same behavior as the stock TEXT_MAIN. You need to escape all single quotes/apostrophes by adding a backslash in front of them.

I have a fresh download and when I go to sign in and click "Install Module", I get an "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class banner_rotator in /home/content/t/m/c/tmcjim/html/catalog/includes/modules/front_page/banner_rotator.php on line 13". What do I need to do?

[♥kymation]

This usually means that you have uploaded a module file to the language directory. You need to put the files in the correct locations.

Jim,

I took a look and the files look correct.

Would "2.2.4 Modified Files" "catalog/index.php (One edit near the bottom of the file)" have anything to do with it? I do not understand if this was something I had to modify?

[♥kymation]

Yes, you need to modify your catalog/index.php or use the one supplied if yours is still stock. That has nothing to do with the error.

 

Do you have more than one language installed? If so, did you copy the English language files to the other language(s)? A missing language file is unlikely to be the problem, but it's possible. If that's not the case, then it has to be a module file in the wrong place.

Jim

kymation, i finally managed to add more than one featured section so thanks for all your help. I just went through the original files and went through the steps of replacing the values (match case) and it worked! Appreciate all your help.

 

Had one more question, was wondering if it is possible to make some adjustments to the scroller i.e. add product name, add a line between products. Any suggestions on how i can do this would be really helpful.

 

Thanks

[♥kymation]

To add a line between products, you could probably add a border to the right of each image in the CSS. Adding the product name would take modifications to the CSS, the scroller Javascript, and some PHP to retrieve the names. Not a simple task.

 

Regards

Jim

[aftabn10]

kymation, thanks for your response. I'll play around with the css and see if i can add some modifications. Will update the forum if i get anywhere.

Hi Jim,

 

Great add-on! Easy to use and a simple installation.

 

I was wondering whether it's possible to change the height of the banner, if so, how would i go about achieving this?

 

Thanks in advance,

Yousef

See the User's Manual Appendix, section A.1. The stylesheet is marked /* Banner height */ where you need to make the changes (two places.)
