Hi There,

I have the Banner System module 5.2.6 installed.

I wish to have it so that it scrolls all of the thumbnail images continuously, rather than one by one with a pager i.e. multiple images scrolling across page at once.

I currently have it in the Bottom full-width location in my template (SportLife)... which would imply that this would be possible? Settings although do not allow it... seems a bit odd it can't do it...

Are we able to edit the rotation effect to do this?

Thanks!

Hello.
Did you try to set the rotation delay to 0 seconds at the banner settings page?

Thanks for the response.

Yes I did. Does anyone else have it working on that template?

Okay, I found out that the 'Delay' parameter that is available at the banner settings page is actually how long the animation lasts, it's not a delay between animations.

I got in touch with the developer of the module and I was informed that the parameter that allows to define a time interval between animations will be available for manual editing in the new version of module, 5.2.8, which is planned to be released soon.

For now, the easiest way to change this is to edit the source code of the jQuery Cycle2 engine which is responsible for scrolling images.
Find the following file in your X-Cart

/skins/default/en/modules/QSL/Banner/jquery.cycle.all.js

Then go to this section of code

$.fn.cycle.defaults = {
    allowWrap:        true,
    autoSelector:     '.cycle-slideshow[data-cycle-auto-init!=false]',
    delay:            0,
    easing:           null,
    fx:              'fade',
    hideNonActive:    true,
    loop:             0,
    manualFx:         undefined,
    manualSpeed:      undefined,
    manualTrump:      true,
    maxZ:             100,
    pauseOnHover:     false,
    reverse:          false,
    slideActiveClass: 'cycle-slide-active',
    slideClass:       'cycle-slide',
    slideCss:         { position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0 },
    slides:          '> img',
    speed:            500,
    startingSlide:    0,
    sync:             true,
    timeout:          4000,
    updateView:       0
};

These are basic settings of the engine, that can not be edited manually in the admin area.
The 'timeout' parameter is the one you are looking for, it defines the interval between animations.
By default it is set to 4 seconds, as you may guess. Feel free to set it to 1 millisecond to reduce the delay between animations as low as possible.

Thanks Igor, but not having much luck at all....

it kind of worked but is only scrolling 2 active images at a time with a third in the background...... tried everything but don't seem to be able to override it

I am sorry, looks like I do not understand your case clearly.
Could you please provide the website URL where the issue can be seen?

Thank you.
That is definitely incorrect behavior.
Could you please submit a support ticket with the line 'Attn: Igor Pudovkin' in the header and let me know the ID?
Thanks!

Thanks Igor. Have now done so. Ticket # 303964

[shaz]

this ticket was never solved unfortunately

Does anyone have an example of the Banner System working as FULL WIDTH
with the Sportlife skin at all?
