Scrolling popular products with images? Facebook Like button Homepage?

[jdmdecals]

I had a few things on my old Ver4 cubecart that i miss.

I had popular products on homepage with scrolling images on the side.

I had a facebook button people could click to like.

Also had a paypal verified logo.

I guess i have 2 questions.

How do i make "box's" on the home page. I remember doing it years ago on Version4.

How do i get the popular products and on sale items to scroll with images like i had in version4. (is there a working plug-in for v5?)

You should probably be discussing this at www.cubecartforums.org because plugins are not discussed in depth here, I think. Not sure where the line is drawn. Anyway, I don't think I've seen this done yet, as for scrolling sections. But I would suggest you do it with jquery, it is really time to leave the old proprietary marquee tag out of it I think.

As to adding "boxes", this is simple html work, For instance, in karouto skin, If you want the box-title and box appearance you can use some code like this in skins/Karouto/templates/main.php:

<div id="featured_product">

<h3>ADD YOUR TITLE TEXT HERE</h3>

<p>ADD YOUR CONTENT HERE</p>

</div>

Paste that whole block between {$SHOPPING_CART} and {$RANDOM_PROD}, for instance, in main.php.

If you need more help with the box question please continue this thread. I can mark it as resolved if Mark's explanation worked for you.

But, as Mark suggested, please ask for help with the scrolling question on the 3rd party forum.

The scrolling popular products have been available at CubeCartForums.org since March 2011. That's the place to ask about non-standard features.

thank you for the info. I'll try the add box thing this weekend and i'll take my questions about the popular products with images to that seperate forum.
