[MODULE] Carousel

[rocky]

This module displays images in a sliding carousel with many options including pause, rewind and fast forward buttons, slide captions and links. Place your images in the modules/carouselnc/agile_carousel_slides directory and they will be automatically read by the module. No code changes are required. To change the slide captions, modify the slide_captions variable in modules/carouselnc/carouselnc.tpl and enter each caption in the order the slides are displayed separated by the | character. To change the slide links, modify the slide_links variable and enter each link separated by the , character. See the Plugin Options section here for more information about the carousel settings. To change the appearance of the carousel, change modules/carouselnc/carouselnc.css.

You can see a demo of the module here and download the FREE version without a configuration page from the DOWNLOAD TAB (compatible with PrestaShop v1.3.7 and earlier only). There is also a paid version available compatible with PrestaShop v1.3 and v1.4 that has a configuration page to make it easy to manage images and change settings here.

UPDATE v1.1

* Added Winno's make_slide.php so that it works on localhost installations
* Fixed so that it will work together with my Sliding Accordion Categories v1.6 module
* Fixed bug that caused the carousel to appear above thickbox

UPDATE v1.1.1

* Moved module to Nethercott Constructions section

UPDATE v1.1.2

* Module now uses PrestaShop's base URL in the slide image links

UPDATE v1.2

* Improved performance by compressing Javascript by 50%
* Improved structure of module

Hi Rocky, I've installed this module, but i have a problem, i'm using the Sliding Accordion Categories Block and what happens to me is what you see in the screenshot, I only if I have activated the module carousel. Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

I wrote both modules and can't see how that could happen. Have you tried going to the configuration page of my sliding accordion categories block and changing the "Block height" to "Variable"?

Yes, i've this configuration, and i've tried with the other configuration, but it's the same, it only happen in the home page with the carousel "module".

Thanks!

Can you give me a link to your website so I can investigate?

Hi

The carousel isnt working for me, the ajax_loader image is just there all the time.

Regards

[rocky]

I thought I fixed that bug. It should use the module's directory. Can you give me a link to your site so I can see what path is causing it problems?

[rocky]

@antonpas_bcn

I checked out your site and I see the problem. It works on every page except the homepage. There must be some kind of Javascript conflict between the two modules. I'll investigate further when I have time.

Same problem (PS v1.4)

[rocky]

Once again, I have the problem of it working for some people and not for others. :-S

This problem is caused when the path in make_slides.php is incorrect. Can you give me a link to your shop so I can investigate why it isn't working for you?

[lindberg123]

in m case i have the shop on my localhost..?

[Winno]

The problem is (after some php debugging) with error_reporting variable in php.
Some variables are just not defined ( $custom_data_arr for instances...)

Try to put

error_reporting(0); on top of make_slides.php
ex:

<?php
error_reporting(0);
function has_no_emailheaders($text)
{
   return preg_match("/(
|
|\n+|\r+)(content-type:|to:|cc:|bcc:)/i", $text) == 0;
}

Localy this works for me, but in my ISP i can't override these settings.

Trying to make a cleaner make_slides.php now :)

[EDIT]
My problems until now:
problems with FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING
problems with function json_encode > function doesn't exist in my php version: created a new one.
[/EDIT]

cheers

[ps93]

Still the same even if I put the code above...
My shop is on localhost also

[rocky]

Thanks localhost users for alerting me to this problem. I personally work on all my websites from the server, so I haven't encountered this problem. I think in the future I'll need to install Prestashop locally and test all my modules on it to make sure this doesn't happen again.

@Winno

I would appreciate it if you sent me the cleaned-up make_slides.php when you are done so I can update the archive for everyone.
