I recently updated my Neto template and I was sure our old one used to auto scroll the carousel on the home page. Is that possible or am I just misremembering it?
This is a pretty easy template change. You're looking for the line of code below, which is probably in \templates\cms\home.template.html although it depends on your theme so you might have to hunt around.
Find this line:
$('.home-slider').slick({
Below it is:
autoplay: false,
Change this to:
autoplay: true,
It looks like the forum has corrupted the code. Could you share the code in a text file through Dropbox or Google Drive, etc?
Hm weird, your home page template has had the code removed. You'll have to check a few places to see where it was moved. Look for that home-slider line in here:
\templates\footers\template.html
\templates\footers\includes\scripts.template.html
\templates\thumbs\advert\home_carousel.template.html
If it's not in any of those, it could also be in a custom script (All Settings > Custom Scripts)
How are you accessing these template files?
Like this?
All Settings & Tools > Webstore Templates
Web Themes \ frame \ templates \ thumbs \ advert \ home_carousel.template.html
And then it should open with a HTML editor (the code will be colour highlighted)
There we go. I was using FTP and even when downloading them and checking with Notepad++ for some reason they wouldn't show anything beyond b@se.
As always you're a fountain of knowledge and a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks heaps.
Aha! I thought something like that was going on. FTP is definitely the best way to access the files. It also means you can just download the entire theme and use Notepad++ to search for keywords across all the files.
Some part of your process seems to open the files in a browser (which tries to understand them, hence stripping the HTML). Make sure you aren't double clicking the files at any time. Use your FTP client to download them to a local folder (not open them), then use File/Open in Notepad++ to edit. I use Notepad++ for all my template development. Other than the syntax highlighting getting messed up sometimes with the B@SE, it works great.
Haha, yeah my whole workflow has been decimated as my shop is currently closed and I had to set up an office here using one of the older PC's. Still runs Windows 8.1 as there's an issue with a non existent bluetooth driver preventing installation of 10 and installing half the stuff I normally use.
