This looks like an excellent module but it will not load on my site.

[ozcanar 1]

i dont understand what the problem is ?

[Stu583 0]

The module is installed but I am not getting the output on the front office.

It should be displaying underneath the default featured products.

[ozcanar 1]

the .rar file is updated

[Stu583 0]

hello mate. Just downloaded it again (I see a .zip not a .rar) but still no joy.

It is putting a flash element on my home page but there is no graphical output.

[kriboy 2]

It's ok for me except the devise which stay in YTL, cause i m in Euros

[JM 1]

Hi ozcanar
I also don't have the display of featured products. I can see the area of the flash object but not the pictures of products. I can see some texts but not all. I'm running RC4.

[showtime 2]

Hi

I'm very intrested by you module, but he dont work on my shop. I have only a white rectangle


can you explain more about this module and how I can make work-it , thanks

[basar67 10]

Hello,
module works without problems. Set the number of items to display. Advanced settings, you can edit in the file files/urunxml.php.

PS: Tested with Firefox.

[showtime 2]

where I have to setup the number of item ? in the urunxml.php ? please explain more pleaze, thank you

EDIT: @ this time I have only 2 test product , maybe its the problem no ?

But i have only en empty white rectangle

[basar67 10]

Hello,
urunxml.php is only for the view, number to set of displayed products, go to >>> Back Office>>> Modules>>> Click on Setting of the module.


Important:
It show only items, which are in product creation for the home category assigned, similar the homefeatured module.

[ludo 50]

You can setup in the module.

Launch directly the page prestashop/modules/homefeaturedcarousel/files/urunxml.php
And look at the source code. All it's ok ?

[showtime 2]

Ok , I have set 10 displayed products .

In homefeatured , I have my 2 product test .

I havent modified anything in urunxml.php

I go on my homepage , nothing to see ... just a white rectangle


edit : ludo je parle FR et oui tout est en place , je comprend pas :s ...

edit 2 : j'avais pas compris ce que tu demandais , je viens de le faire , voila le résultat :

In english , when I load directly the module in my browser I have these error :

ok mais je sais mais je te repondais en anglais pour rester dans la langue du sujet

Ligne 97 - modules/homefeaturedcarousel/files/urunxml.php
essaye de remplacer mysql_fetch_array() par mysql_fetch_assoc()

Si ca peut te rassurer moi aussi j'ai une beau rectangle blanc !
Les chemins semblent corrects
Le xml se génère bien
je sèche un peu là

[showtime 2]

tu as trouvé quelque chose ludo?

qu'est ce qui pourrait bien etre différent et qui fait que le module ne fonctionne pas ....?

[JM 1]

Hello

J'avais remarqué que le texte des objets et le lien fonctionnait, mais pas les images. Donc c'est que le flash ne les trouvait pas.
Je viens juste de regarder le fichier urunxml.php et j'ai vu une ligne :
<![CDATA[/img/p/'.$id_image.'-home.jpg]]>
Ce qui fait que cela ne peut pas s'afficher si votre prestashop est un dossier, car "/img" va à la racine de votre site.
Il suffit de mettre la variable (que je ne connais pas) avant "/img" pour avoir le répertoire (url) de votre site prestashop. Moi j'ai rapidement mis mon nom de dossier du site prestashop et ça roule.

Du coup cela s'affiche bien (et c'est beau).
Par contre tout est en anglais, ainsi que la monnaie qui semble codée en dur.
Il y a donc du boulot pour rendre ça multi lingue et "souple".



Hello
Fix the absolute path to the images
<![CDATA[/img/p/'.$id_image.'-home.jpg]]>
to
<![CDATA[the folder of your prestashop site/img/p/'.$id_image.'-home.jpg]]>
in
urunxml.php
then zip the whole folder and use it as a module.
You will also have to look at the php part to fix the currency used.

[showtime 2]

salut , et merci pour tes recherches de bug .

Je viens de tester à l'instant ta solution , et toujours rien un rectangle blanc ....

mon folder d'install est boutique , j'ai donc fait : <![CDATA[boutique/img/p/'.$id_image.'-home.jpg]]>


mais toujours rien

[JM 1]

essaye "/boutique/img/" comme ça cela remonte au plus haut niveau et ça resdescend bien.
Je commence à regarder le reste.
J'ai vu aussi que le lien ne tient pas comptes des urls rewritées mais on s'en fiche, google ne suivra pas les liens du flash.

[showtime 2]

malheureusement sa ne fonctionne pas non plus .

Je te propose que nous parlions via msn ou autre afin de ne pas "pourrir" ce post ,

tu trouvera mon msn dans mon profil .

ps: j'ai tout essayé , /boutique/img/, /boutique/img/p, /boutique/img/p/ ....

[JM 1]

En fait dans la partie php, il y a
plusieurs fonctions qui ne semblent pas bien marcher :
getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang),
'currency' => new Currency(intval($params['cart']->id_currency)),
'lang' => Language::getIsoById(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang)),

qui ne semble pas du tout prendre en compte les mêmes valeurs que la page où c'est exécuté.

C'est marrant parce que c'est très très proche du code de homefeatured de prestashop...
Je regarde du coté du tpl.

Ps : on doit pouvoir l'exécuter ailleurs que dans la home en modifiant : !$this->registerHook('home')

[showtime 2]

Ok , merci de regarder à tout sa,

j'attend ton bilan , et on verra ce qu'on peut faire

[JM 1]

voici le code exact pour ton site à distance (pour un site en local je ne sais pas).
<![CDATA[/boutique/img/p/'.$id_image.'-home.jpg]]>
Ne rien changer d'autre

Il vaudrait mieux avoir la variable de chemin de prestashop.
{$img_prod_dir}

[showtime 2]

je viens d'essayer à nouveau , toujours rien ...

[ludo 50]

je viens d'essayer non plus en local sur une install easyphp2 mais sur un site de demo sur un de nos serveur de production et la ça marche nickel du premier coup... voir en bas de la home de http://my.jshop.biz

[showtime 2]

pourquoi pourquoi pourquoi....

comment pourrions nous trouver ce que c'est


ps: ludo effectivement sur ton serveur test sa fonctionne

[ozcanar 1]

i update .rar file for who can't run that

homefeaturedcarousel.zip

[showtime 2]

Me , I have tested just now,

After i have launch directly the file urunxml.php and I have these error :

homefeaturedcarousel v0.2.zip

[Darkmarauder 0]

I just copied the extracted folder to the modules folder for my shop.
After going to the modules in the backoffice, I attempted to add it.
After confirming the path and admin password was right, I ended up getting the following error:-

this is not a valid module URL (must end with .tar)

Any help pls?

[Merchant 1]

If you have a look under modules you will see that the module already exist.
This is because you copied the extracted folder directly to the modules folder.

[Darkmarauder 0]

Not a problem, I used it in my test shop first and it worked.
I then copied the module to homefeaturedcarousel as a foldername and not homefeaturedcarousel v0.1 and it was fine.
Thanks anyway!

[Merchant 1]

[pilou 0]

rien de nouveau pour ce module ?

[Daniel.Black 0]

Excellent Module worked great the first time. I had to uninstall the featured product from homepage for it to show.

BTW, how can I get it to be on top of the other stuff on home page instead of the bottom?

[Merchant 1]

remove Home text editor

[Daniel.Black 0]

remove Home text editor

I new it would be easy...thanks!

[Haytham 1]

Thank you for this module it works fine for me !!

[weaselbringer 0]

sorry, tried the updated version and it IS working now, but it could use some cleaning up, it's a little clunky with the text. Also it doesn't give you a way to go back to the carousel after you click an item and decide you don't want that one. There's no way back.

But it's working, thanks

adam

[weaselbringer 0]

Okay, I figured out the module a little more and its working great BUT, when you login to your account and go back to the front page, it doesn't work, it only shows up when you're not logged in.. What gives? What's the problem here?

[vidub2001 0]

Hello,

I just found this on NET
http://www.3dcarousel.com

Well, this script is commercial and this module use this script, it's a problem for use it, no ?

Best regards
Fabrice

[checkmate 0]

this dont work for me somebody will can upload a config file for example pls

[Rain3r 1]

Hello, very nice module!
I have one suggestion:
I think it would be better to have there two arrows (left and right) determining witch way should the carousel rotate (something like that: http://www.3dcarousel.com/DeveloperEditions/3DCarouselV1/tabid/58/Default.aspx ) or it should rotate only while a mouse is over the module. Because, if I am looking on something else, rotating featured products are very disturbing.

[Travis 0]

I have gotten the carousel working. Looks great by the way.

I have one small tiny problem. When the price is displayed in Australian Dollars (AUD) it is displayed as:

1.00 $

Instead of:

$1.00

Is there any way to fix this small tiny problem?

EDIT:
Solution

line 111 of file "urunxml.php" looks like the following:

$products[$i][price]." ".$sign."]]>

by changing it to look like:

$sign." ".$products[$i][price]."]]>

it makes the Australian or other currencies look like $1.00 instead of 1.00 $

[Travis 0]

I fixed my problem after carefully examining the code and trialing alterations...it was quite simple.

However I now have a different problem.
I have been trialing a few computers i have with the website and I have found one of my computers (using internet explorer) shows a beautiful white rectangle rather than the Carousel.

Is this because the computer may not have flash?

If it is why does it not say "You require flash to run this flash object, please download it here."

Any help will be greatly appreciate, as i can not expect my customers to be using firefox, or have flash installled.

[checkmate 0]

pls how do you fix the problem?? may be you need update the plug in flash?

[Travis 0]

pls how do you fix the problem?? may be you need update the plug in flash?

if we do need to update the plugin we need to notify the customer about this and make it very simple for them to do so. is this possible?

Hello.

I have installed this module. It shows in back office, i have configured it in BO to show 8 products, Tried with 10 also.
But it doesn't show on my store front website. i just have a white rectangle. When i move the mouse on the white rectangle i can see some text. But otherwise just a white rectangle.

Do i have to edit any file manually?
I have upgraded flashplayer plug ins.

All input is appreciated.

Very serious problems!!!!!! This module does not work with the browser Safari 3.0.3. The whole browser crashes when it gets to the flash file. As soon as I uninstall it, it works again. I have not checked other versions of Safari but this is a serious problem. This is also the windows version of Safari, since I don't have a mac, I can't check it on a different platform. It seems to work with Opera, FF, IE, and Google Chrome. I love this, but if it doesn't work in the Safari browser, I cannot use it. Please Help!!!!

[glooo 0]

I upload this module folder to /modules and it show up in the backoffice,
I have removed the home html editor, and have this featured product homepage module installed.
also I configure the product in the backoffice as 5 or 10.
nothing show up in my front office, nor even a blank regular .
my version is 1.1final. I have downloaded the v0.25 version which I think the lastest.

Great module! But it is showing always the same products. How it is possible to display random products from home category? Thank you

[Travis 0]

Showing random products would be great. Also it would be nice if instead of a loop (round circle) which really is a carousel, maybe have it so it goes straight across the screen from left to right or right to left.

Similar to what http://www.donedirtcheap.com.au/ have at top of their website.

[Travis 0]

It would be great if the carousel say had 10 products shown at a time however there was say 30 products which are set to home and the carousel randomly selected and showed different products every time the page was refreshed or reopened.

Working like a bitch with no problem This is TURKISH POWER.... Helal olsun dostum modülün harika.....

[reclipse3 8]

What would be nice is if transparency worked on photos.... instead of showing a square white background. I'm sure it would be easy to just add the transparency feature to the code.

Other than that, it's great!

Yes, if PS team change jpg to png code and we use pics removed background it will be transparency.
carousel in my site, I do it by hand.

Hi,
Can anyone help with this I have this module installed at the top of the page on my site but it's just white no images are showing? If you move your mouse across the area the products title shows but no images?
Why is this and how can I fix it?

Thanks,
