Hi,
Can you help, I've got the scroller up and running but have one slight problem, I've got 150 products in it and the product shows above the scroller when clicked, great so far! BUT the scroller resets to start on product select which means trawling through lots of products if you want to go back to the last one you were looking at, is there anyway to stop this? I've tried all the options but can't seem to stop it happening.

The test page is here http://parrotmag.fastnet.co.uk/back-issues-browse
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
thanks
Siracee

Sorry to have taken so long to get back with you, but I was trying to figure out a way to accomplish this that didn't require intrusive coding.

Unfortunately, there isn't one. There is an option in the Jcarousel function that allows you to specify a starting point, but there is no way to trap which item was clicked last without customizing VM's product details page to write a server variable, and then customizing the module to read that variable and set the "start" parameter in the Jcarousel function. It would then need to destroy the server variable so that it would not be there next time the customer went to the page.

The fact that VM would have to be customized makes this change impossible for a delivered module and, therefore, beyond the scope of what we would do as support.

This may seem like a basic question, but have you considered breaking up your scroller into smaller chunks? On all the sites I have used the scroller on, the product list varies by page. That is the big advantage of our scroller - it shows only the products you select. That means on diff pages, I can have diff product sets. Would breaking the product sets down smaller to more closely match the page help?
