I tried copying the newer resource files over. The only folders I didn't upgrade was Themes and Views.

First Try:

1. I turned off the website in IIS.
2. backed up my database and files.
3. copied the new files to the plugin directory.
4. Restarted my website in IIS.

Result:

errors on pages with jCarousel and errors on the plugin page.

Second Try:

1. uninstalled the plugin.
1. I turned off the website in IIS.
3. copied the new files to the plugin directory.
4. Restarted my website in IIS.

Same result.

I restored everything to what I had previously, but I must be missing a step or something.


Hi shanexh,

You need to copy the Core and JCarousel folders. Also you need to update the view of the JCarousel, because we made some modifications for better performance and more readable code. The JCarousel contains only one view so it will not be hard, even if you have changed it.

After you update the plugins you can change the Global.asax file. Just download it from your website, add a space after the code, save it and upload it again.
I will be waiting for your update on this problem.

Best wishes.

Hello-

I've looked through the megamenu plugin folder and don't see any javascripts controlling the drop down behavior, so I am assuming that it is all done within the dll.

What I'd like to do is cause a delay in the menu drop down so that it requires the cursor be over the menu for at least one second before expanding. If I cannot accomplish that, would it be possible to change to use an onclick type event rather than the onmouseover it does by default?

Thanks,
Steve


Hi Steve,

The MegaMenu is pure css and C#. There is no javascritp. If you want to delay the menu dropdown you can do it by using css e.g:
Add the following code to the droprown class in the css file for the MegaMenu
-moz-transition: display 1s linear;
-webkit-transition: display 1s linear;


Another option is to use javascript. You can write some and include it in the MegaMenu.cshtml view.

Have a great day.

Hello, I am using NopCommerce 2.65 and I have the Ultimate Plugins. I am using the Anywhere Sliders plugin and if I use a one column layout everything works and looks fine, but if I use a two column layout things get shifted and not the way I want them to. What  it looks like is the slider is being called as part of the main body or div/widget within that area. So when I select a two column layout, everything is getting shifted over. What I would like to have is the header section, followed by the mega menu section that I already have in place and then followed by the slider and then the body with a 2 column layout that is after the slider.  I took a look in the admin for the slider and the widget I am using is the home_page_top. Anyway to have the slider spread across the page in a single column or 100% of the page width and then followed by a two column layout would be great!

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!


Hi pdesignz,

Put the slider in the content_before widget zone and everything will be fine.

Hello, I have the ultimate plugin and I am using the Anywhere Slider and the MegaMenu on the homepage of NopCommerce 2.65. I also using the two column layout and the content_before widget zone that was suggested by the NopCommerce forums as the slider was being integrated with the content and not appearing before the two column layout as I wanted it to appear. Now that I switched to the content_before zone the slider appears before the two column layout, but now the MegaMenu is appearing below the Anywhere Slider. How can I get the MegaMenu to appear above the Anywhere Slider and still be above the two column layout.

Thanks


Hi pdesignz,

This is a common problem in nopCommerce caused by the installation of the plugins. The problem is that the AnywhereSliders plugin were installed before the MegaMenu plugin.
To solve the problem go to the administration of your website Configuration => Plugins. Find the Nop Anywhere Sliders plugin and click the Edit link next to it. After that set the Display order value to 2.
The problem should be fixed.

Have a great day.

Hi,

I have just purchased the theme how to show at least 4 columns instead of three on category page


Hi ejazmuhammad.

To show 4 columns on a category page go to /Themes/Fashion/Views/Catalog/CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml
go to line 167 and change
 @(Html.DataList<ProductOverviewModel>(Model.Products, 3,

to
 @(Html.DataList<ProductOverviewModel>(Model.Products, 4,


PS: You need to configure the css styles of the theme and some of the plugins in order for this to look good.

Great!

I have made styling modifications to the themes, also I do have several jCarousels already configured.

Can I copy everything except the themes folder, without uninstalling the plugin and re-configuring my jCarousels?

Thanks,

Shane


Yes you can.

The problem is that the new resources will not be installed.
You can add them manually. For example instead of "Sub Categories" for data source you will see sevenspikes.jcarousel.admin.datasourcetypes.subcategories . So just add the resource with value Sub Categories and everything will be OK. Do this for all of the resources that are not installed.

Have a great day.

Would you be able to add contained categories as a data source for the jCarousel plugin?

I noticed you do have sibling categories as an option, but it would also be great to have child categories as an option.

if you want to see an example of were this would be useful to have, especially in conjunction with the mega menu, let me know and I'll send you a link to a page on my website.

PS your new website looks really good!


Hi shanexh.

Thank you! We are glad that you like our new look.

We already added data source Sub Categories in our JCarousel plugin. Please download again the package and replace the JCarousel plugin folder with the new one.

Have a great day.

Hi,

How can I define certain products to make use of the Customdatasource in the SevenSpikes.JCarousel.Admin.Settings.DataSourceType section ?

Thanks in advance!


Hi hanz,

Please refer to our online documentation section 2.1 http://www.nop-templates.com/Help/NopJCarousel/Version_2_6/lessons/Integration.html

You need to pass IEnumerable<ProductOverviewModel> as a data source.
