In case anyone is trying to do a reinstall of Search Log v2.1 in ZC v1.3.9h, after deinstalling for whatever reason, if your server's MySQL is a version greater than about v4.x, you'll need to make...
I fixed the blank front end with your hint to look at the other log files lruskauff. Thank you. There was a stray apostrophe in the site's HEADER_ALT_TEXT define, which was line 26 in that error. Who...
Yes...
[11-Oct-2015 01:51:44 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 's' (T_STRING) in /home/horseman/public_html/NewZC2/includes/languages/english/responsive_avonlee_contempo/header.php...
See post #183 above for the most recent logged error. There is one before that, likely from my first stab at loading that sql file which reads...
[11-Oct-2015 01:17:31 UTC] PHP Fatal error: ...
The one that didn't run is the INSERT INTO line from the responsive.sql file, not the clg_install.sql.
Was the Winchester template able to install sql patches by itself, behind the scenes as it...
Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I ran that sql file all at once, I got a blank screen in admin. So I backed up and ran the first statement in it successfully, then the second gave me a...
I just tried installing the Responsive Avonlee Contempo template on a test site which also has the Winchester Responsive template installed. This template (Responsive Avonlee Contempo) uses a few SQL...
The client has decided to try the Responsive Avonlee Contempo template instead, since it solves the design concerns we were having with this one. I have an install problem though, with one of the SQL...
Got it, and the other two pieces I was trying to remove. Still have an abondoned ?>, but I'll find that somewhere I'm sure.:blush:
Thanks for your help.
Rob
The issue isn't the size. The issue is that the logo is large in one browser, but small in the other two. (Large is what we want, in fact.)
Rob
And while I'm asking about that site, www.horsemansshop.com.au/NewZC2/, I may have noticed a bug (gasp!) in the code, or at least an "interesting variation" in the way different browsers read it....
I can't find that code in that file. (And I haven't modified any of the files yet.) I can find a line very similar to that, but it refers to TITLE_CONTACT not BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT.
Rob
Thanks Anne. The (test) site is at www.horsemansshop.com.au/NewZC2/
If the width can be reduced to the centre column width, so that the (long) categories list can slide up beside it, that would be...
Well, ... someone might be able to edit it, but not me. :blink: As with the stylesheet edit I was trying, there are way too many things in there I don't understand, so I'm just swatting flies in the...
Thanks Anne. That worked fine.
I found a define which changed the size of a slide within the slideshow, but I couldn't seem to shrink the slideshow itself no matter what I tried. Can you offer a...
Second question...
How do I turn off the Categories > Information > Contact links in the header? Breadcrumbs status doesn't affect those three links.
Thanks,
Rob
Hello,
I want to turn on the left column on the home page of the Winchester Responsive template, just as it is on other pages. The left column is turned off on the home page by an override....
Hi,
I need to control the visibility of a lot of attributes in order to build a product. There are too many for just one attributes tab -- things get confusing, and choices should be made in a...
It always helps to stare at the HTML as rendered in a browser.
Each of your categories is inside a div, and the next category is the next div, and so on. Except that there is a bit of code between...
Yeah, I thought that too Rod. Since the fields still appeared I must have missed those files (even though I had just dealt with them.) So I did it again, and the fields still showed. So I came here...
Hi Rod,
An odd one for you. I created a new site for our favourite horsey shop, for some new products. It was a clean install of 1.3.9h, without any of the old data for products or customers. In...
I think there may be some confusion here. If you drag an empty /images/ folder over an /images/ folder full of images, nothing will happen -- if you're doing it via FTP, I should say. That's because...
Search the Plugins area for "product fields". There are a few mods which do this. You could use one of them as is or just look at their code to see how to do it.
Rob
I'm curious. Why does IE being in Quirks mode cause you to be very annoyed. (IE doesn't exist on Macs, so I can't just look for myself.)
As for the admin doctype, the admin code is quite old....
For the purple, look in stylesheet.css for '47224E' (without the quote marks.) You'll find a bunch of them.
How did I know to search for that? I used DigitalColor Meter (in Mac OS X, so you may...
This is the page I was thinking of, I think.
That would be a slideshow. Search the plugins for "slideshow" and you'll get a few more that work in 1.5.x.
Rob
ZC v1.5.x uses a new system for setting up admin options for mods. Since the description of Lightbox Gallery says it works in ZC v1.3.9, that strongly suggests it has not been upgraded to work with...
Just a few weeks ago, as I started to download a plug-in, I accidently double-clicked instead of single-clicking at some critical point in the process, and I saw that message. I waited a minute and...
I think there may be a problem there, at least there is if you're expecting to find any HTML to edit.
Zen Cart assembles the HTML for the browser by pulling info from the database and then picking...
The more experienced members of the forum can usually spot problems that to a neophyte might not be obvious. But without a link to your site, we're just guessing. (Guessing=wasting our time and...
Vertical alignment using CSS -- especially if you want to align some things within a wrapper block to the top and some to the bottom -- is very messy. As you can see from my retail site, I didn't...
I can't see why that wouldn't work, but if you have only one site to convert, you'll spend more time doing it this way than the regular way. It would, however, be useful for anyone who has multiple...
Okay... when I validate the page code there are 102 errors. So how did you create that page layout and how did you enter the description and so on that is on the page? Did you use a visual editor...
For working on your ZC store you really need to have a full ZC file set, which you get by clicking the Download Now button on the home page of this site. (Use the Home button above to get to it.)...
See my Retail site (in my sig, below). Click on any category along the top -- Maritime has a relevant example in the first row. You'll see a listing similar to yours, except the rows are all the same...
Sounds like you're on track. One thing to be wary of... mods that you used in 1.3.8 may not be suitable for 1.5.1, especially any mods that had an admin interface like a new menuitem under...
That depends on why it's there. If it's there because you installed a mod by dragging the includes folder containing the mod into the templates folder by mistake, then you need to look in that...
It has belatedly occurred to me that you may have been joking, in which case a smiley would have been in order. If so, I apologize for my response to what seemed to me to be sarcasm. But if you...
Nope.
Yes. Once you have your template folders in place, your edits go in them and only in them (unless you really must make a change to a core file.) So in general your changes would go in the...
I said what I said so you could see how an experienced person does it, not so you could come back with a smart a** response. If you don't wish to learn, don't ask questions.
Rob
Yes, as Kobra says, you need to use the right tool. For example...
I just used BBEdit's Find Differences command (in my iMac) on the 1.3.8a English folder comparing it to the 1.5.1 English folder...
There's nothing wrong with a table used to display tabular data, as you are doing. But there's absolutely no reason to put a list item into each table cell. That's just plain weird. :shocking:
So...
I often find if I talk to myself long enough, I can solve the problem. :laugh:
Good detective work!
Rob
Taking Anne's note as a clue, I went and picked up the stylesheet_mega_menu.css from both her demo page and from your site and compared them. There are several differences involving margins and other...
I suspected as much. We know that in general the top browsers will calculate things the same, within a pixel or so. So this much difference has to be coming from the style definitions themselves, and...
Hi,
Now that the errors are mostly gone, we can check how the styles are being calculated by the browser. Firebug tells me that in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css there is this...
#mega-wrapper...
Can't help, but I checked in 4 browsers in Mac OS X, and the menu is pushed off to the right in FF and Opera, but in both Chrome and Safari.
Some of the code in your site, coming from add-ons I'm...
A category can contain products, or it can contain sub-categories, but no category can contain both products and sub-categories. So in this case, since your category has sub-cats in it, you have to...
I would definitely install IH. Why? Because Zen Cart does not automatically create smaller images from larger ones. It simply uses the main image for everything, which means, for example, in a...
The normal location for all templates is ../includes/templates/ (Those two dots at the beginning mean "your zen cart folder, wherever it is.)
If you go to ../includes/templates/ you'll see the...
