Overview of this book

Magento is the e-commerce software and platform trusted by the world’s leading brands. Using Magento’s powerful theming engine, you can control the look, content, and functionality, and easily launch a flexible e-commerce website. However, because of its powerful features, developing Magento themes is easier said than done. This book aims to leverage the enhancements to theme designing in Magento 2 to the fullest. It will show you how to gear up the performance of your e-commerce website. We begin by introducing Magento 2 and its features along with implementing a local development Magento environment. We then move on to discuss the concepts of the Magento theme structure such as templates, inheritance, customization, and override. Further on, we explore the Magento UI Library, which is a new feature available in Magento 2.0. We will create a new Magento 2.0 theme named MyCake Store using Magento Bootstrap from Maven E-commerce and also create print strategies for the Magento 2.0 theme. We will also create and customize a new theme proposal for the Magento admin panel. At the end, we will integrate Magento 2.0 to Twitter and integrate it with social bookmarking and finally deploy our new Magento 2.0 theme.

Preface

Creating a jCarousel component for Promo module


The final objective of this practice is that you have the Promo module functioning on the main page of your Bookstore theme integrated with jCarousel and displaying images of registered products in the administrative area of Magento. They will be integrated into different layers to show a unique result in your theme.

For this practice, you will use the responsive carousel feature provided by the jCarousel plugin (http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/), which serves as a vertical and horizontal control for item lists in HTML. This excellent plugin was created by Jan Sorgalla and has long been used by developers in frontend projects with jQuery.

Beginning the implementation, access the download page of the jCarousel plugin and download the following JavaScript files:

  • jCarousel Core - Production Version

  • Control Plugin - Production Version

  • Pagination Plugin - Production Version

Move these files to the directory /app/code/Packt/Promo/view/frontend/web/js.
