Bump

Looking for someone to create two custom blocks for me. Willing to pay. Please private message me. Once done the module is yours and you can sell it in the marketplace if so desired.

User-Defined Bootstrap Carousel Slideshow
1. Creates a user-defined folder in the current template folder structure (ie; default/carousel)
2. Offer DropZone-like image uploads with thumbnail list of all current images, and X removal capabilities
3. Use filename as alt and caption, removing ".jpg" and replacing dashes "-" with spaces
4. Image sortorder is alphabetical. If the first element in the name is a numeric, remove that from the alt and caption as well.
5. Offer text input to add inline-styles to the div tag: class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" style="[user-defined]"
6. Two textarea fields to allow for inserting HTML before and after the carousel code is rendered.
Carousel code is provided below...

Featured Product Bootstrap Carousel Slideshow
1. Creates slideshow of all "featured" products in the database
2. Alt and caption tags pull item name
3. Images link to product
4. Two textarea fields to allow for inserting HTML before and after the carousel code is rendered.

Having written custom tags like this in ColdFusion I imagine each should take about an hour, though I don't know about the custom content block aspect of Abante.

Sample code, below, of the user-defined carousel:

Code Select Expand


<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" style="float:right;width:450px;">
<!-- Indicators -->
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
<li data-interval="5000" data-pause="Hover" data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
<li data-interval="5000" data-pause="Hover" data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="1" ></li>
<li data-interval="5000" data-pause="Hover" data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="2" ></li>
</ol>
<!-- Wrapper for slides -->
<div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
<div class="item active">
<img src="/storefront/view/default/carousel/Colorado-Can-Theme.jpg" alt="Colorado Can Theme">
<div class="carousel-caption">Colorado Can Theme</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<img src="/storefront/view/default/carousel/Colorado-Can-Tower.jpg" alt="Colorado Can Tower">
<div class="carousel-caption">Colorado Can Tower</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<img src="/storefront/view/default/carousel/Gemstone-Mining.jpg" alt="Gemstone Mining">
<div class="carousel-caption">Gemstone Mining</div>
</div>
</div>
<a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="prev">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
</a>
<a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="next">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Next</span>
</a>
</div>


Nevermind. I figured it out. You can put a text resource in there. Cool! Now to properly style it.

Wish: access to the style sheet from within the Admin, instead of having to resort to FTP or Filemanager.

How do we get text in there instead? I deleted the image file, but can't figure out how to get text in there. I'd prefer not to edit the content block, as that will likely upset any automated code in Abante.

If I were able to do it, I would simply add a new management page under Design called Page Images or something like that. Allow for image file uploads, including resizing to the site's current standard sizes. Once they're up there, I can teach my clients how to use the URL field in the Image tool of CKedit.

That should be a quick addition, and I'd be willing to fund it. Even more so if the images were accessible directly when editing a product, category or content page.

Hi. I am trying to get some images into the description of a category and though I certainly know how to upload images through the cPanel File Manager and then include the image by pasting the URL in the Image tool in the CKeditor, --- my clients will have absolutely no idea what to do. This is way too hard. Same goes for any description editing for Edit Product and Update Content. I see a Files Upload page, but no way to actually upload a file.

I have a CMS I wrote that also uses the CKeditor, and what I did is create a pop-up window that allows my users to upload images to the site (single folder) and then simply drag an image from the pop-up into the CKedit window. Piece of cake once you get the hang of it.

Is there any way of adding that kind of functionality?

Short of that, are there plans to upgrade the Image tool in your install of CKeditor to include image file uploads?

Thanks.

Yeah. Probably. I had switched the IP number and the domain a couple times just before that.

That said, an anchor link is based on HTML, which is not cached.

Anyway, I have four sites running at the moment and none of them exhibit this behavior.

Thanks!

Sorry. What I was referring to was the main products list page in the admin, under categories. You have Product Name, Model, Price, Quantity, Status and Action listed as columns. I was wondering if there was a way to add Featured and Weight columns, and remove Model. Is there a config setting somewhere that determines which columns are included?

Went to Theme Market and found nothing for Abante

Thanks, but I'm not seeing the new templates. The newest one uploaded is from April, and only supports v1.1.9

I'll try themeforest.

Thanks,

Mik

Something that would be great is to have Featured (on/off) and weight. Don't really need model.

Is there somewhere in the admin interface where we can change this?

Just to bump the request:

2. It would be great if there was an image upload tool in the text banner manager page for each slide so we could simply upload the images from there. I'd have no problem specifying the directory in a setting elsewhere, or on that page itself. Would make the whole thing a little more seamless.

You already have image upload tools on product and category and even manufacturers pages. I know it may be a little wonky to pull the image dir from the text, but I'm sure you can search for the src attribute of any existing img tags to pass along the directory. Or something.

Thanks.

I am running 1.2.2. The smart phone layout swaps to a static default jpg. It's not awful, but having the slideshow would be nice.
