Homepage Featured Mod

[grandpha]

Hi I have the mellow+adds-white theme and I applied these codes on my home.tpl . The items didn't begin to scroll untill I removed the following :
<marquee behavior='scroll' align='center' direction='left' width='100%' height='188' scrollamount='4' scrolldelay='0' onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>
My website is http://www.pchounds.com/
Now the items scroll but they are shown on more than one row. I had to make the featured item boxes bigger from 120 to 130 so the second row doesn't show. The only thing that I don't think it's normal now is when the page loads for the first time in the right side of the featured items you can see a scrolling bar , only for a few seconds in firefox but a lot longer on internet explorer.

this is alredy part of my mellow+white theme this mod is hardcoded and pre installed on all of my themes why would you want to re install it on a theme that alredy has it? My sujestion to you is reupload the home.tpl that came with the mellow+ads theme thius is aredy on it

yeah they will apear on more than one line because you removed the code that keeps them on the same line.
Also make sure you added the jscroller CSS to style.CSS

#jscroller2 {
width: 100%;
height: 189px;
overflow: auto;
}

#jscroller2 {
overflow: auto;
}

and that you have the javascript in the JS folder.
you control the height adjustments of the scroller in the CSS not with the featured items boxes this was alredy set perfect for my theme as above

the scroll bar should be there its because it adds sroll to the page and scroll is like ifame the javascript then hides the iframe and scrolls the content this is because it will Display the Content even with deactivated JavaScript

Thanks for your effort. The theme I have I downloaded last year I think from this site and I don't think it had this java script back than. I wanted to change it because the featured items titles weren't displayed right in internet explorer. With the changes I made it works ok so far. Is it too much if I ask you for the code that makes the items show on one row? If it this one

<marquee behavior='scroll' align='center' direction='left' width='100%' height='188' scrollamount='4' scrolldelay='0' onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>

everytime I put it back on home.tpl the items stop showing.My home.tpl looks like this now :


<!-- End Custom Featured -->
<div align="center">

no problem grandpa PM me your email and I will send you all the files you need to make it work fine I will also include a new header.tpl that addresses a whitespace problem

I just installed the mod perfectly in V1 but it doesn't do anything. Thankfully it isn't crashing anything either so, I'm glad for that.
Does this mod even work with V1?
Any help would be appreciated, before I start digging into it. Then I'm sure I will crash my site.

Yes it works with version 1.0.0 I have it working on a version I test. usualy it will not work if you have not done either of thease two things

1) Uploaded the javascript to your WeBid js folder making sure you renamed the downloaded javascript file above to jscroller2-1.61


2)Added the CSS code above to the end of the style.css for whatever theme you are using

this is the only two things that will stop it working you may have forgotten both or just one

OK, I'm a bonehead! It was the file name. Somehow, at three in the morning while working with one eye shut and the other half open, I missed the part where you said "rename the file,......bonehead!". It works just fine. Thanks a million.
Is there a way to adjust the speed or fluidity of the scroll. On my computer the scrolling seems a bit choppy. Is that my box or the script? It's not a problem at all, nor am I complaining. I just wanna know if it CAN be adjusted.
Again, thank you very much for your help.

no problem the speed can be adjusted in home.tpl look for this code and alter the bit in red to whatever you want

<div class="jscroller2_left jscroller2_speed-55 jscroller2_dynamic jscroller2_mousemove jscroller2_ignoreleave">

as for it being chopy I.E the boxes droping in from the top, I have never nbeen able to resolve this
