Hello,

I have a module on my home page for some random products. I have it set for one column and one product. As a normal module the width spans across the full width which is what I want. As soon as I enable the carousel, the width suddenly gets set to 260px in inline style. I have checked all my module and menu settings for a place to modify this but cannot find any where to remove this width. :( I see that if you select carousel, the items get put in a ul list.... I have searched high and low for settings and in display/views for any inline styling, Please help! I have it set to image and description.

also, when I click the arrows to move to the next product, they do not work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Could you do a screenshot of the carousel options you set for your module ?

Please set either increase the image size or the number of products per slides. That way, it will be able to take more space.

By the way, the arrows work properly for me...

that is not what I want.... I want one product to span the full width. Even if I do try 2 products, the area will be too tall due to the description text and I do not want that to take up that much space. There must be a way to remove that inline width style of 260px, it is grabbing that number from somewhere, right? It can't just pick a random number. See attachment for the layout i want.




yes the arrow work fine as I mentioned in my right after the first one. I forgot to set a number of products to scroll. oops.

That 260px number is the size of your image multiplicated by 2.
That's why I also proposed you to increase the size of the image.

If you really don't want that either, you can edit the file "carousel" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and change the width calculation code at the beginning to change the behaviour of the system.

OK, I see. Thank you for that info! I see there are two places to change *2, do I change both, or can I change just one that will only affect my products with descriptions?

so lets say i change it from 2 to lets say *4 but then I want to use a carousel, lets say under all my product pages (associated modules), but there I want to display a row of maybe 4 products without the description next to them. Would those squares also be image size times 4?

It's that one you should change I think:

		if($this->params->get('div_item_layout_type')=='img_desc' || $this->params->get('div_item_layout_type')=='img_desc_2'){
			$width=$width*2;
		}


No you won't have the problem. That modification will only be for when you use the "image and description" item box layout
