[SOLVED] Adding Another Carousel

[pekinparadise]

Hi Folks (and hopefully rocky),

I have the carouselnc module installed on my homepage and thanks to rocky's programming it works great. I would like to add another carouselnc in my Sustainability page, which is inside of my Informations Block. This will have different images than those on my homepage. My website is www.pekinparadise.com. Can I install a new carousel module? If so, what is the URL link that I can use to link it into my Sustainability page?

Thanks for your ideas.

Walt

You'll need to copy my module and rename the files so that PrestaShop treats it as a separate module. Copy the carouselnc directory to carouselnc2, then rename carouselnc.php to carouselnc2.php, then change:

class CarouselNC

to:

class CarouselNC2

and:

$this->name = 'carouselnc';

to:

$this->name = 'carouselnc2';

and:

$this->displayName = $this->l('Carousel');

to:

$this->displayName = $this->l('Carousel 2');

Once you've done this, you can go put different images in modules/carouselnc2 than modules/carouselnc and go to the Modules tab and install Carousel 2 and put it in a different hook than Carousel. Unfortunately, there is no hook on the CMS pages though, so you'll need to add one. I suggest that you put it in the "Product footer" hook, since you aren't using it at the moment. Edit cms.php and add the following before the $smarty->display:

if ($cms->id == 5)
  $smarty->assign('HOOK_PRODUCT_FOOTER', Hook::productFooter(NULL, NULL));

Then edit cms.tpl in your theme's directory and add the following code on line 7 before {$cms->content}:

{if $HOOK_PRODUCT_FOOTER}{$HOOK_PRODUCT_FOOTER}{/if}

This should display the new carousel at the top of CMS page 5 only.

Thanks Rocky. I was able to use my own slideshow by editing Tinymce and using an iframe in the HTML of the CMS in the Back Office. Now I can add unlimited slideshows to the Info Block.

I tried your solution. But acutally, it doesn't work. In my second slideshow, the pictures wont be displayed. When I put them in the folder of my first slideshow (carouselnc/agile_carousel_slides-order), everything works fine. But then, they appear also in my first slideshow... What's the problem?

[ROUGHY]

Find the solution. Change also line 167 in make_slides.php to

        $path_to_slide = __PS_BASE_URI__."modules/carouselnc2/".$path_to_slides."/".$slide_file;

1. For the watermark you can go to carouseInc.tpl then change the water_mark: "yes" to water_mark: "no".

2. For the text: JQuery carousel plugin.Futhermore, you can go to carouseInc-min.css, then find the #slide_captions span. Insert display:none; .

I think it should be done.
