Hi Kent,

Would it be able to tell us the assembly version of the SevenSpikes.Nop.Framework as well. Also you can try installing the SevenSpikes.Core plugin only.

We will investigate further what might be going wrong.

Thanks!

Hi Jose,

This may happen if some of the js files are missing. Have you noticed a js error in your browser.

Would it be possible to provide a little more information on this:
- what is the name of the theme you are using.
- when have you downloaded the filters
- does the server has read permission folder for the plugin
- can you check whether you have js files in the Scripts folder of the plugin and in the JQueryTemplates you should have two files - an htm and a js one.

It will be best if you can give us a link with the problem so that we can investigate what is wrong.

Thanks!

Hi,

This is possible what you describe. You can create one jcarousel from the administration and choose for Data source type: custom data source. You can give it a name whatever you want and later you will call the carousel by name - for example "CustomCarousel".

Then all you need to do is to integrate it manually by calling the jcarousel as many times as you wish with different models.

For example if you have 2 categories say Category1 and Category2 you will need to have 2 calls to the jcarousel on the new products page as it follows:

@Html.Action("JCarousel", "JCarousel", new { carouselName = "CustomCarousel", productModels = Model1 })

@Html.Action("JCarousel", "JCarousel", new { carouselName = "CustomCarousel", productModels = Model2 })

where Model1 is list of ProductOverviewModel objects from Category1 and Model2 is list of ProductOverviewModel  objects from Category2.

Hope that helps!

If you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hi,

You will need to integrate it manually in that case. So disable it as a widget and make the call to the Categories Header menu in your Comnon/Menu.cshtml view right after the link for the Home page, i.e.

<ul class="topmenu">
    @Html.Action("WidgetsByZone", "Widget", new { widgetZone = "header_menu_before" })
    <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("HomePage")">@T("HomePage")</a></li>
    <li>@Html.Action("CategoriesHeaderMenu", "CategoriesHeaderMenu")</li>
    @if (Model.RecentlyAddedProductsEnabled)
    {
        <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("RecentlyAddedProducts")">@T("Products.NewProducts")</a>
        </li>
    }
    <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("ProductSearch")">@T("Search")</a> </li>
    <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("CustomerInfo")">@T("Account.MyAccount")</a></li>
    @if (Model.BlogEnabled)
    {
        <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Blog")">@T("Blog")</a></li>
    }
    @if (Model.ForumEnabled)
    {
        <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Boards")">@T("Forum.Forums")</a></li>
    }
    <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("ContactUs")">@T("ContactUs")</a></li>
    @Html.Action("WidgetsByZone", "Widget", new { widgetZone = "header_menu_after" })
</ul>


But please bear in mind that you will need to do some styling and adjusting of the menu so that it displays correctly. Also you will need to modify the css file for the Categories Header Menu in order to map the new structure of the <ul> and <li> elements of the menu, which will not so straightforward as the menu is designed and structured to work as on the demo.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Which navigation buttons you are referring to. As you can see on our demo the circles are centered on the bottom of the slider inside it.

Ultimately you can control them by modifying the

".theme-navigation-inside .nivo-controlNav" css class from the ~/Plugins/SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.AnywhereSliders/Themes/{ThemeName}/Content/nivo/skins/navigation-inside/navigation-inside.css file.

Hope that helps!

Hi mickk,

In version 2.4 there is no administration and option. It is enabled by default and the manufacturers should appear automatically. Could you please check whether in the file ~\Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.CategoriesHeaderMenu\Views\CategoriesHeaderMenu.cshtml you have the following lines of code:

line 8:
<li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("ManufacturerList")">@T("Manufacturers")</a>
                <ul>
                    @Html.Raw(Model.ManufacturersHtml)
                </ul>
            </li>

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

As we always try to listen to out customers we have implemented it also for version 2.5 and 2.4. So now you can go to your My Account section and download the Nop Categories Header Menu again. Delete the old folder ~\Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.CategoriesHeaderMenu and copy the new plugin folder from the latest downloaded package.

If you need any further help please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Hi,

If I understand correctly you want a single item in the menu for the categories called "Categories" for example and when you hover over all the categories should be visible in a dropdown.

If this is the case I will try to explain how the Nop Categories Header Menu works:

For every level of the menu corresponds and <ul> list with items. So if you want a single  box for the categories you may try something like this:

Open the ~\Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.CategoriesHeaderMenu\Views\CategoriesHeaderMenu\CategoriesHeaderMenu.cshtml and edit the code as shown below:

<div class="categoriesHeaderMenu">
    <ul id="SuperFishMenuId" class="sf-menu">
        <li><a href="#">@T("Categories")</a>
            <ul>
                @Html.Raw(Model.CategoriesHtml)
            </ul>
        </li>
        @* You can add additional links if you like i.e link to About Us topic page
        <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Topic", new { SystemName = "aboutus" })">@T("AboutUs")</a></li>
        *@
    </ul>
</div>

Hope that helps!
