Modern Zen [RI07] Template

[SPH]

Image Handler (IH3) works. The smallest images do zoom/pop, see here:

http://www.wedding-mart.com/index.ph...&products_id=2

The Category images do not pop because that is the way I have it set. They are larger than the other images and only the smallest images pop.

In fact, I just installed Lightbox and it's working (click on main image).

This is probably the first, and one of the only, free templates that IMO has a more modern look to the add to cart area, and category listing.

Only "problems" to my mind:

1. The top search box doesn't work normally; can't click on the magnifying glass and go. Customer would have to hit "enter" on keyboard. It's a strange oversight, but I've seen other templates from him where the search box drops-down when typing - maybe that's what he planned. Probably biggest problem.

2. Header2 banner is turned off, like some of the newer free templates. But I've moved this banner on other templates below the horizontal category navigation area for a nice, site wide display. Can probably do it with this template.

3. Never sure I was crazy with stripped background, so will take some time to see what I can do here or on yet another developing domain.

Then again, I'm also testing something completely different:

My wife says it's time to stop playing with templates and carts and choose....

PS: Add the dress to cart and see the nice cart display open in header; wonder if can always be open....

Add to cart brings me to another "problem": Customer cannot easily delete cart since no trash can or X. Have to manually do it by changing quantity to 0.

All-in-all, only real issue so far is the top search function.

Decided will go with this template.

Just tonight before shutting down I discovered the nice open subcategories presentation in it's included simple categories! I tested this template a year or so ago, but since I did not have subcategories then, didn't see the possibility.

I always liked this template and it just got much, much better!

Hi all,
Ive installed this stunning template. But I have a problem of the price not showing and the product options are showing greyed out.

I have several other templates installed and they all show the price and all options are solid not greyed out.

So it looks like its a template issue.

Please advise.

Is the template compatible with ZenCart 1.5? I uploaded and ran the SQL patch, however it does not show up in the template selector in admin.

Thanks!

I recently re-visited this template on my first 1.5 demo cart. It didn't work, and I was disappointed. I may try again, because although far from perfect, it had a nice feel.

PS: I didn't use the sql, never really did. Always tried a manual resetting.

Yep, could not get mine to work either with 1.5. Switching back to 1.3.9 since 1.5 seems to be incompatible with mods. Modifying the default template to look more like Volusion's product interface instead.

The product page is one place I think zencart generally looks outdated. And the Rubic Modern Zen looked more modern, to me. But it would have to be updated somehow.

I think I know why zencart's default product layout (used by most free templates) is the way it is. Looking at all of the text and attribute options and combinatons, perhaps it is the best way, if one uses them all.

Hi,

I am from www.thaigarden.digi-blue.co.uk. Had the same issue with search, managed to fix this morning.

1. Uploaded the includes/templates/all_business/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php (this is from the all business template under downloads) to includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php (this file was missing from this template). IMPORTANT: Please update src="includes/templates/all_business/buttons/english/button_search.gif" to point to your template with the button.)

2. In /includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php deleted:

<?php
$content = "";
$content .= zen_draw_form('quick_find_header', zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT);
$content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description', '1') . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 180px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"');

$content .= "</form>";
?>

<div class="searchHeader forward unitPng">
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>

and replaced with:

<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>

All working fine now!

For those of you also wanting the remove button on the cart, do this:

1. Copy /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php to /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.

2. On /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php, find <th scope="col" id="scRemoveHeading">&nbsp;</th> and change to <th scope="col" id="scRemoveHeading"><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_REMOVE; ?></th>.

3. Go to your english.php file, and under // table headings for cart display and upcoming products add define('TABLE_HEADING_REMOVE', 'Remove');

This will add a heading to the last column to allow customers to click the little box on the left hand side and once they click "Update Cart", it will remove the product. Suggestion also to add some text in your includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php to advise them of what to do.
