Another module that is quite interesting that you may use in the Featured Products block is available at http://www.ecartservice.net/03082009/moving-boxes-home-featured-jquery-module/
This module is also based on jQuery and features the products
in moving boxes.
The moving box interacts with the click of the arrow button on the sides. It will show the next featured product once you click this arrow (previous and next are converted into red arrow buttons).
It can replace your default theme, which displays four featured items in the featured blocks in the center column. This moving box enhances the interactivity and looks quite cool too.
- Download the file from the mentioned link. Save it in your computer.
- Upload it in the
modulesfile to your server. - Unzip it and you will see a new folder containing all the files.
- Go to your back office panel, and click on the
Modules tab.
You should be able to see it in the modules list. Install and enable this module.
- You can then configure the setting. Adjust the maximum display of the
products to be shown on your new featured block.
- Click on the Update button.
When you view it through your front office, you will notice that it is, by default, at the bottom of the default Featured Products module block. You may delete this default featured block in the Positions tab.
- Go to Back Office | Modules |
Positions.
You will note that the Moving Boxes module is hooked (by default, once installed) at the Header of pages and the Homepage content (the home hook).
You need to leave it hooked to both, if it is to be displayed correctly.
- Now, you can delete the Featured Products block from this home page position. Just click on the close icon (on the extreme right side), and we will have the moving boxes replacing it at its (the Featured Products block) default position.
