jCarousel

This module is installed and is visible in the admin panel;

"TemplateCodes jCarousel Allows the insertion of jCarousel listings plugins. 2.0 Active Deactivate"

It shows as being active but there is no "Admin" function and it doesn't work, how can I get this module to work?

PS: I've tried a couple of things after reading the docs but no luck getting this to work

This is one of the things I tried. I added;

{tc_jcarousel l_type="top"}

...to home.tpl

This would be the template to add it to right?

Where in this code would it be added?

Code:

<h2>{$smarty.const.LANG_FEATURED_LISTINGS}</h2>
{css_listings_horizontal number=4 type="featured"}
<br/>

{$pPageContent}

<h2>{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_NEW}</h2>
{css_listings_horizontal number=4 type="new"}

<h2>Latest News</h2>
{foreach from=$blog item=entry}
<div class="newsbox">
	<h3>{$entry.post_title}</h3>
	<div class="entry">
		{$entry.post_content|truncate:150:"...":true}
		<p><a href="modules.php?mod=news&amp;uri={$entry.post_name}">Continue Reading</a></p>
	</div>
</div>
{/foreach}

Hey, I thought when I upgraded my script my board sig was supposed to update automatically....

Just kidding, it was only upgraded the weekend past, I hadn't thought of changing my sig yet.

My host uses; PHP 5.2.10

Thanks,

Ken

John,

Just to be clear, when you say; "It could go anywhere, but inside the {foreach}....", do you mean It could go anywhere, except...?

Ok, if I add this code would I not need to remove the code that is displaying "Featured Listings" in the default mode?

Ken

I seems you not only have to add the code we've been talking about but also parameters from somewhere...would have been cool if this were all doable from the control panel.

Ken

I've added the code snippet we've been talking about and it works with the manual scroll arrows but the bottom of the boxes are being cut off.

In the documentation it says;

"Add code below with any of the optional parameters/values to your template in the place you want it to display"

...so does this mean that parameters need to be added to the same file as the code snippet? I see parameters in a file named: function.tc_jcarousel.php

Are parameters to be edited in this file or are the parameters to be pasted into the file containing the original code? (In this case home.tpl)

Ken

The way the parameters work is by adding them to the plugin call. For example on the home.tpl:
{tc_jcarousel l_type="top"}

to:

{tc_jcarousel l_type="top" category="1" owner="1" number="12"}

You can see a list of all parameters here:
TemplateCodes : Dynamic Listings Module (tc_jcarousel) User Guide
Click the "Configuration" section.

I have removed the code and will just use the default non scrolling display. As our thumbnail dimensions vary, some look acceptable others are unacceptably distorted so I'd rather have users see only 4 possible distorted images than one after another scrolling across. It didn't occur to me in the beginning but if we'd have arrived at a standard dimension be it square or otherwise, we'd be able to adjust parameters so all images would display acceptably.

We did not do this until a few months ago, create a standard square image for thumbs, so we'll have to live with it the way it is.

PS Does anyone know if the Price Descriptor mod works with the latest version of 68c?
