Deluxe Javascript Slideshow CC4

More Images:

This mod includes two slideshows for CubeCart 4: A products slideshow that rotates product thumbnails in a sidebox at your site, and a homepage slideshow that rotates 10 custom images that you create to show on the homepage of your store. See the mod in action here.

This amounts to 2 mods in one. The two slideshows that are included in our Deluxe Javascript Slideshow are also sold separately here. Save money on the mods and the installation fees by purchasing the deluxe package!

I. CONFIGURING HOMEPAGE SLIDESHOW

>> Navigate to Modules > 3rd Party > Homepage Slideshow > Configure

• The mod will automatically update your store database, and you should
see a message indicating this. If the update is unsuccessful, please
contact our helpdesk at CC3.biz before proceeding.

• Set the status to "Enabled" and press "Edit Config" button

• Set the slideshow size in pixels. There are three important matters here.
First, the size should be appropriate for the skin of your store, so that
it will fill the space properly. Second, the images you assign to the slideshow
should be the exact same dimensions as you have set for the slideshow here.
Third, all of the images should be the same size. Oddball mixed sizes will not
look as good in your slideshow.

• Set the slideshow speed in milliseonds. This determines how
long each slide shows before rotating.

• Set the fade background color. Note, this option is not available when you
have both a product slideshow and homepage slideshow working simultaneously
at your store, because the product slideshow background is more important to set.
This fade background color should be set to match the background of the page
where the slideshow operates. It helps make a clean transistion between slides,
especially important if the slides are odd sizes. It is best to make ALL
slideshow images the exact same size, and use a matching size setting for the
show itself, as mentioned above.

• Set whether or not to pause the slideshow on mouseover.

• Once you have created Slideshow images, upload them to your store's
images/slides directory. Most effective way to do this is through FTP client.

• Default image setting: You should first add a default image, this image will
be shown if any image assigned to the slideshow is non-existent or configured
incorrectly.

• Add images by typing in the image file name (example.jpg, example.gif) and also
typing in a link for the image if desired.

• Use any one of the Edit Config buttons to save your configuration.

II. CONFIGURING PRODUCTS SLIDESHOW

>> Navigate to Modules > 3rd Party > Products Slideshow CC4 > Configure

• The mod will automatically update your store database, and you should
see a message indicating this. If the update is unsuccessful, please
contact our helpdesk at CC3.biz before proceeding.

• Set the status to "Enabled" and press "Edit Config" button

• Change title of Slideshow if desired

• Set the slideshow speed (1000 = 1 second; each slide will display
1 second before fading; 4000 = 4 seconds, etc.)

• Set "Number of slides to show:" to the maximum number of
slides you want to rotate. Be sure to enable at least the same
number of products to show in the slideshow.

    Special Note a. You should set this to the same number or less
    than the number of products that have been set to include
    in slideshow. You could have 1,000 products set to include in
    slideshow, yet only 10 to show in ACP and this is fine.
   
    Special Note b. You should avoid setting this number very high.
    A resonable maximum number of slides to show is usually 20 or so
    depending on image sizes, server speeds, etc. A large number of
    slides may greatly slow down your page loads and frustrate your
    customers.
   
• Set the background color for fade effects. This needs to be
exactly the same color as is in the box in which you are
displaying the slideshow.

• Choose whether to display the product names below the image in your
slideshow. If you choose yes, you should also choose a size for the space
in which the text will appear. This will vary according to the lengths of
your product names, so you may fine-tune and adjust the size of this space.
A default value is set, so leave the default values and check the slideshow,
then adjust the space as necessary.

• An option is given to remove styles from the product name. This feature
has been included because the Carreta skins in CubeCart 4 do not use styles
on the product name, and skins based on Carreta skins may also look better
if the styles are removed. Use this by trial and error to see which setting
looks best in your slideshow.

• Choose whether you want the slideshow to pause on mouseover.

• Choose whether to randomize the slide list. If no, the slides will always
rotate in the order they appear in the database. If yes, then each time you
start the slideshow afresh, a random order for the slides will be created.
The slides will then rotate in that new random order indefinitely. Each time
the page is refreshed and slideshow newly created, a new random order will
be made for the slidelist.

• Choose whether to enable Global Database Utilities.

• Choose whether to enable the Currently Set to Show feature.

• Click "Edit Config" to save any changes you have made.
