Hi,
How to configure EasySpotlight on Modern Theme?
Hello Raquel, you should do it the same way that you do for any other team. Just don’t forget to copy extension files to your default template folder and skin folder.
It didn’t work.
Have you copied layout and template files to your template folder? Have you set any product as new?
Where can I get the files to my directories? I installed the extension but can’t see anything copied to my folders.
Thanks,
John
John, you can try to download extension from our store also.
Hi,
I’m using custom template and both of your extension “Spolight” and “Lightbox” is not working under my custom template.
I try change back to default template and both extension is working without any problem…
So do I need to add any code into my custom template? I really need your great extension, please help…
Regards,
Les
Hello Les, you should copy extensions files to your default folder.
Hi… Thx for the reply… I’m new to Magento, can you please tell me which file I should move to the default folder? Thx in advance…
Regards,
Les
Hello Les,
Please copy next files
app\design\frontend\default\default\layout\easycatalogimg.xmlapp\design\frontend\default\default\template\easycatalogimg
skin\frontend\default\default\css\easycatalogimg.css
I had to tidy up the look of sliders for category pages, when run in conjunction with your template f001. The slider area was too tall and the slider control numbers were obscuring the product, so I tried this edit in easyspotlight.css around line 59
Before editing:-
#easyslider div.scroller {overflow: hidden;}
After editing:-
#easyslider div.scroller {
height:180px;
width: 726px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
The width of the slider needed to expand from 480 to 542px to line up nicely with f001 3 col layout, so I edited easyspotlight.css around line 33 to
.col-3-layout #easyslider { width:542px; }
.col-3-layout #easyslider div.scroller { width: 542px; }
.col-3-layout #easyslider .scroller .sectionslide { width:542px; }
I am posting this in that it may help others integrate your excellent templates and extensions.
Excellent extension!! How do you make it look ok in Modern Theme ? I’ve changed the CSS but I cannot make it work.

Thanks in advance!
Hello Ricardo, what exactly problem do you have?
Hi. Just added a couple of your extensions to my site and wanted to say thanks for the great work!
What I’m still looking for, is a banner slider. Exactly like EasySpotlight, but sliding pictures, not products. Like in your theme: http://demo02.templates-master.com/a053
Where can I get it from?
Thx & greets from Germany

jeff that was superb that really helped me understand the css better.
I have one issue my “box” has a width of 730px and if i go above 542 the scroller next product appears in the same box,is there anyway around this at ?
Hi,
Does the extension only works on the modern theme?
I installed the extension but nothing happened.
I can’t find anything in the configuration area and I don’t see any files being copied to my theme.
Can anyone help???
Thanks,
John
I have this installed on Magento 1.4.0.1.
I have a product marked as new
I have went to the Templastes-master and enabled it on the homepage.
I have copied the files to the correct positions, I believe, but I am not getting anything to display on the home page.
Any pointers to help out?
Jim, please contact us at contact form. We need more details to understand what is wrong.
Hi, I purchased and installed your extension last week. How do I control the rotating speed? And why isn’t this in the easy spotlight configuration area in magento admin. It would be nice if it was.
AJ, sorry but this extension is free so most likely you just downloaded it. You can edit rotating speed in template file. We have not moved it to configuration values yet.
I do wish that this was enclosable in a block rather than “hard-coded” into the frontpage etc, but still a handy tool
Hey, i can’t get it to display anything.
im using magento 1.4.1.1
Hey, i’ve got it showing the products im happy.
But i doesn’t work with the layered navigation (filter menu)..
Has anyone encountered the same problem, if so how did you work this out?
Please contact us in case you still have this problem.
TemplatesMaster team, thank you very much for awesome extensions, your works are greatly appreciated!!
I’m using EasySpotlight and EasyCatalogImg together but it seems EasySpotlight overrides EasyCatalogImg’s view.phtml so EasyCatalogImg can’t show categories list. Can you show me the way to get them work together like call the EasyCatalogImg’s subcategories.phtml from EasySpotlight view.phtml.
Thank you,
Jody
Hello Jody, you should copy Easy Catalog Images extension code from easycatalogimg/view.phtml to easyspotlight/category/view.phtml
I dont’t get it to work in 1.4.1.1 what am I doing wrong?
This extension was not yet upgraded to run under 1.4.1 right out of the box.
Hi i have installed easy catalog in magento system,
i have showed the catalogs in my home page, i need to show them in the bottom after the text what i have written in STATIC PAGES.
is that is possible can u give me a way how do i do it.
Thanks.
I am trying to move this “New Product” block to just below the “Home Page” header and underneath some text at the top of the page. I have taken
and changed to
but it has not changed anything. I tried dumping cache and refreshing url but no luck. I went into the CMS pages and looked at the Home Page>Design and saw this
<action
Is this correct or where else besides app\design\frontend\default\default\layout\easycatalogimg.xml
should I be looking?

You should just enable it in admin and set products as new. All blocks will appear without any need to put any additional code.
