Vertical Slider Help !!!

[Raza]

This is really confusing & now became irritating, I’ve been trying to resolve from few days…..please help anyone !

The problem is with the Vertical Ticker or slider “Import Export Trade Leads” at : http://www.tradeglobus.com/

The developer who made this website & everything in it, has gone with no trace at all. So I have this challenge to manage & maintain this, and I want to post some products from backend/admin-panel. but when I do, it displays different country flag (poster’s country) by ignoring what country was mentioned when I posted the product from admin-panel. But when I click the link, it shows the country flag what was mentioned in that form: (http://i49.tinypic.com/1zg58y1.jpg “Form’s Screencap”)

How can I tell this “vertical slider” script to get the country info from whatever is mentioned in the form, & if its empty then it can get the member’s country.

Or just give me an idea about how it gets the items to display on ticker/slider ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Raza!

It looks like it’s something that is done server side.

 

 

See the `f_225`? That’s the css that sets which flag is showing.

It would be impossible for us to guess how the data is stored in the database or accessed without access to the admin panel – which may not be a smart thing to share in public.

Hi Mottie,

Thanks for reply, & yes this f_225 is the flag number, & 225=USA Flag.

you’re right maybe its not a smart thing to share backend info here, but can you give me any idea about how & where it gets the data from ?
this ticker is made using any one of these jquery sliders:
jCarouselLite and rsSlideShow

I hope it may give you some idea about its working.
And please help me if u can, its really annoying me now :(

> but can you give me any idea about how & where it gets the data from?

It seems to me now that @Mottie has helped you figure it out kind of, that the code is pulling the images from the CSS, so maybe it will look something like this;

.flags {
width: 50px;
height: 30px;
}

.f_255 {
background: url(‘path-to-image/american-flag.png’) no-repeat;
}

And you would have a bunch of class names for these, each number meaning a different background image for the flag.

**Or did you know this already?**

Yes Watson,

I already know that it uses a single image file for displaying appropriate flag for required country.

But my question was, the ticker/slider is showing the flag from the member’s info, by ignoring what is mentioned in product submission form.
I want it to prefer the country info which is mentioned in product form, if it was left blank only then it should get the country from member’s info.

I guess you can’t help me until you access the source files, should I send you source file if you can come to IM ?
