    Hi, guys!
    Thanks for a usefull thing!
    I’ve faced a trouble when installed Easyspotlight with Jquery installed – js just don’t works. When diasabling Jquery – everything works just fine.

    Is any workaround for this?

    Thanks again!

      Hello Nuke, please try using Jquery noconflict mode.

    Hi,

    How to configure EasySpotlight on Modern Theme?

    • TemplatesMaster December 22, 2009 at 12:19 am #

      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.

      • Raquel January 1, 2010 at 11:10 pm #

        It didn’t work. :(

        • TemplatesMaster January 3, 2010 at 3:21 pm #

          Have you copied layout and template files to your template folder? Have you set any product as new?

          • John May 14, 2010 at 10:13 am #

            Where can I get the files to my directories? I installed the extension but can’t see anything copied to my folders.

            Thanks,
            John

          • TemplatesMaster May 16, 2010 at 5:55 pm #

            John, you can try to download extension from our store also.

  7. Les December 16, 2009 at 10:04 am #

    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

    • TemplatesMaster December 22, 2009 at 12:25 am #

      Hello Les, you should copy extensions files to your default folder.

      • Les January 10, 2010 at 10:36 pm #

        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

        • TemplatesMaster January 11, 2010 at 2:46 pm #

          Hello Les,
          Please copy next files

          app\design\frontend\default\default\layout\easycatalogimg.xml
          app\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;
    }

    • Jeff January 17, 2010 at 12:52 pm #

      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.

  9. Ricardo January 28, 2010 at 8:00 pm #

    Excellent extension!! How do you make it look ok in Modern Theme ? I’ve changed the CSS but I cannot make it work.

    http://www.duoptic.com/accesorios.html

    The next item appears at the right, I don’t know how to hide the next item on the list.

    Thanks in advance!

    • TemplatesMaster February 4, 2010 at 7:23 am #

      Hello Ricardo, what exactly problem do you have?

  10. Memnon April 7, 2010 at 8:26 pm #

    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
    Memnon

    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 ?

  12. John May 12, 2010 at 10:23 am #

    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

  13. Jim King May 26, 2010 at 8:38 pm #

    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?

    • TemplatesMaster May 31, 2010 at 9:36 am #

      Jim, please contact us at contact form. We need more details to understand what is wrong.

  14. AJ June 4, 2010 at 6:12 pm #

    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.

    • TemplatesMaster June 20, 2010 at 9:31 am #

      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.

  15. Jimmy August 31, 2010 at 10:05 am #

    I do wish that this was enclosable in a block rather than “hard-coded” into the frontpage etc, but still a handy tool

  16. Simon November 10, 2010 at 1:25 pm #

    Hey, i can’t get it to display anything.

    im using magento 1.4.1.1

  17. Simon November 11, 2010 at 4:24 pm #

    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?

    • TemplatesMaster November 15, 2010 at 6:19 pm #

      Please contact us in case you still have this problem.

  18. Jody Thai January 8, 2011 at 12:53 pm #

    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

    • TemplatesMaster February 21, 2011 at 5:54 pm #

      Hello Jody, you should copy Easy Catalog Images extension code from easycatalogimg/view.phtml to easyspotlight/category/view.phtml

  19. Nick January 13, 2011 at 11:09 am #

    I dont’t get it to work in 1.4.1.1 what am I doing wrong?

    • TemplatesMaster February 21, 2011 at 6:21 pm #

      This extension was not yet upgraded to run under 1.4.1 right out of the box.

  20. Naveen February 10, 2011 at 10:21 pm #

  21. solarwinds February 24, 2011 at 8:29 am #

    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?

    How to activate Easy Spotlight after instalation?
    Which is block in CMS?
    Thanks

    • TemplatesMaster July 5, 2011 at 3:42 pm #

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