I tried to install this on a site that uses Fancy Cats - for some reason it screws up the Fancy Cats Menu system.

Any ideas how to fix it?

There is only basic support of Fancy Categories in current release. We are working on Fancy Cats compatibility right now.

You can set 'How many days for the products (0 to disable)' parameter in admin to 0 to disable 'New Products' category placement. (This disable 'New Products' category but won't affect the bubble functionality)

Also please refer to 'Configuration' section of Readme.htm file as there are some advanced tips there:
Quote:

"New Products" category is automatically shown on home and categories pages by default. There are some tips on this category placement customization:
To disable caregory integration, remove this line from the /modules/Whats_New/module.php file:
Code:

    include $xcart_dir."/modules/Whats_New/categories.php";


and place this link to New Products wherever you like in your templates:
Code:

  {if $active_modules.Whats_New}
    <a href="home.php?WhatsNew=Y">{$lng.lbl_wnmod_title}</a>
{/if}

This is a great mod and I would have been happy to pay for it.

Anyone know of an easy way to centre the "Pop up Bubble" on a store that is centred. Depending on screen resolution the bubble could move.

Thanks

Hi Victor,

I have both Fancy Cats and What's New installed and I had to disable the bubble code to stop the error I was getting, I have the New Products operating with no problem at 45 days.

Regards

Thats different to us - we have the bubble working great but had to disable the code that adds the cat to the menu (with fancy cats)

This is not such a big issue as we run a manual "what's new" anyway.

The bubble works fine and gives us no errors. (we are on 4.1.8 though not 4.2)

You can see it working at www.jobananas.com

The page doesn't load in IE and "Operation abored" is displayed?
IE ignores 'defer' attribute for script tag and starts to change page immediately.
But from the other hand there is a functional limitation that is not allowing IE to modify parent container if it is not loaded completely.
This issue is fixed in current release.

Update your skin1/modules/Whats_New/Whats_New.tpl with one from attached package
Please note, this is not a complete module but update only.
Complete version is still available for free from http://x-cart-customization.com

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!
 
There is an option in your admin->modules->Whats New
Where you should specify number of days for products to consider new.

F.e. If you set it to 7 - In New Products category will be products added within the week, 30 - month, 365 - year and so on.

Bubble is shown for the products added since last visit only (until customer close bubble or view this products list).
So you should add new product and then look for bubble.
