Does ANYONE know how to remove scrolling thumbnails feature?

[pipwood]

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the scrolling thumbnail list in the product section?
Ideally I would like to remove it from just 1 or 2 products.
If that is not possible then I would like to remove it altogether.

[pipwood]

Can anyone point me to the right file even?
My project is on hold unitl I can sort this issue out.
I have tried commenting out the thumbnails section in the themes/prestashop/product.tpl
but it results in a blank page.

I am completely stuck now. Can I email the team or is that unacceptable?

Hi Pipwood,

Its a complex area and I am afraid I have not looked at this yet. But as a quick fix, maybe make a change by removing the div that provides the scroller in JQuery. Not ideal I know but...

The code:

<!-- thumbnails -->

Next        


























Next        

So I was thinking that if you removed

Next

from left side and found same on right side, from the template, users would not be able to see or scroll either way

I am not suggesting this is best method, maybe just a "quick fix" option. Test on a demo site and keep copy of orginal site file (e.g rename it) so you can recover it it goes wrong

Thank you again Viper.
This is in the product.tpl file isn't it?
I have tried your suggestion and many similar variations but it always results in a blank page.
What I have noticed though, is that when I undo my alterations to the file, it still results in a blank page.
I have to reload the originally downloaded file.
Why would that be?
I am using Dreamweaver.
I made similar alteration to the product-list.tpl to remove and "add to cart" button, and that worked well enough.
Should I be making alteration in a different editor maybe?

Have now got thumbnails removed.
But have a problem with main image not working.
Paul in club forum suggest removal of lines 90 - 107
I have tried so many combinations and did think I had tried that.
Whether I had or not I don't know, but this time I removed the lines, (last time I would just have commented them out).
So, I have no scrolling thumbs, which is great, but now I am waiting for a solution for main image to alter upon atrribute selection.
I feel so lame, I wish I could do scipting myself, but there are so many areas. The truth is I just don't know where to start.

alternatively, you can edit your global.css in themes:

1. change

#thumbs_list{
overflow:hidden;

to

#thumbs_list{
/*overflow:hidden;*/

2. change to display:hidden in:

#view_scroll_left, #view_scroll_right{
background: url('../img/thumbs_left.gif') no-repeat center;
text-indent:-3000px;
display:block; -> change to hidden
