TomatoCart

Store owners can create and manage the content including articles, FAQs in the administration panel and determine how this content is displayed in the frontend site.

Slide Image Manager

TomatoCart has integrated two JavaScript-based slide show components, NoobSlide and ImageMenu. This gives store owners a way to present dynamic slide shows to their customers. Slide Image Manager is used to upload images in the administration panel and these images can be displayed in the store front for different slideshow components. Figure 1 shows the slide image manager panel.

Each image can be associated with a URL and a description. Administrators can determine whether an image is displayed in the slide show component or not by changing the status of the image.

Display Slideshow in the store front

Currently TomatoCart has integrated two JavaScript based slide show components, NoobSlide and ImageMenu. NoobSlide is a MooTools class that can create many different types of slide shows for images. While ImageMenu is a horizontal menu, revealing more of the image when users roll over it. Figure 2 shows the NoobSlide slideshow component and Figure 3 the ImageMenu component.
