<h1>jQuery Scrolling Sideboxes &mdash;  for Zen Cart v1.5.5 and later</h1>
<h3>Version 2.1.3, by lat9</h3>
<p>Current Support Thread at Zen Cart Forums: <a href="https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?214591" target="_blank">https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?214591</a></p>

<hr />
<h2>What it does</h2>
<p>This plugin provides four (4) additional sideboxes to your store's configuration:</p>
<ol>
  <li>sideboxes/best_sellers_scrolling.php</li>
  <li>sideboxes/featured_scrolling.php</li>
  <li>sideboxes/specials_scrolling.php</li>
  <li>sideboxes/whats_new_scrolling.php</li>
</ol>
<p>In each case, the sidebox is <em>heavily</em> modelled after the built-in Zen Cart sidebox of a similar name with one difference: each sidebox uses some jQuery to show one product at a time in the sidebox, cutting down on the screen &quot;real-estate&quot; required.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Starting with v2.0.0 of the plugin, your active template <em><b>must</b></em> load a version of jQuery for the plugin to properly operate!</p>
<hr />
<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>This plugin currently has no <span class="corefile">core-file overwrites</span>; you should <strong>always</strong> backup your cart's database and files prior to making any changes.</p>
<ol>
  <li>Unzip the plugin's package file, which you've most likely already done if you're reading this!</li>
  <li>Copy the contents of the /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript directory to the like-named subdirectory for your store's active template:<ol>
    <li>/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_sidebox_slider.js</li>
  </ol></li>
  <li>Copy the plugin's <em>new</em>, default files to your store's file system.<ol>
    <li>/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/scrolling_sideboxes.php</li>
    <li>/includes/modules/sideboxes/best_sellers_scrolling.php</li>
    <li>/includes/modules/sideboxes/featured_scrolling.php</li>

jquery_scrolling_sideboxes's Issues

Parse error in scrolling specials

--> PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/******/public_html/155_new/includes/modules/sideboxes/specials_scrolling.php on line 10.

Incorrect variable used in best_sellers_scrolling

... as reported in this Zen Cart support-thread posting.

Possible Accessibility Compliance

I'm working on the same thing in 1.5.8 but really like to use this mod instead of the norm and think it should be built-in.

Because of the close proximity of the Image and the Title, using the Title of the item for an alt tag results in a minor hit for accessibility.

With the main information being in the Title of the item, I think accessibility can be better met by making the alt tag for the image blank and setting the role to presentation.

<img src="images/product1.jpg" alt="" role="presentation" title="Product 1" width="100" height="75"

I use the example with both the empty alt and role setting as this would make it compatible with all browsers and readers.

I wish I were able to submit proposed fille changes but, it's just not in my level of expertise. Hopefully, this will explain what might be done to make the mod even better.

While some would remove the H and W for CSS, this also tells the browser that the item is presentational and is ALWAYS overwritten by any CSS setting(s) made.
