Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

[picaflor-azul]

Yes the readme.html file will not give the install iformation anymore.. just opens up to your page asking for a donation and a quote for designers to implement it to your website...
No information on installing the template anymore, with that information i wouldn't have bothered you for this information..

Also i need to know how to change the tags at the top when going to the site it says the name of the template instead of the website...

Thanks for your help..

Did you download the template from this website? You do need to click on the menu options to get to the instructions. See the online readme.html file here:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/demos/i...ga_readme.html

See the FAQs section of this site for a tutorial about how to change the browser title.


Thanks,

Anne

I don't think that there is a problem with the readme file. I just think that you were not clicking on the menu items. This readme is set up differently from the others and is not one long page.

Thanks,

I posted this by accident outside the thread. Apologies for the re-post:

I raised this question some time ago, but I have no solution. I have 5 slides on my front page, each doing as they should. In admin, under Configuration, Abbington Mega, I have 5 Banner Display Groups, in where I can set which banner to display. I am assuming that if I want to have, say, 6 slides, I need to have here

Banner display Group 6

where I can indicate which banner to display as the, say, 6th slide.

Where would I add this?

I am looking at /tpl_home_slider.php, where I see this:

<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET9)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);
}
}
?>
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET10 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET10)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);
}
}
?>
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET11 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET11)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);
}
}
?>
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET12 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET12)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);
}
}
?>
<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET13 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET13)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);
}
}
?>

So, I am also assuming that in order to add Banner Group6, I need to add something here. What do I add?

I have no problem creating a new banner group. What I cannot understand is how to link this banner group to the display of slides on the front page. I would appreciate some direction.

Maybe I should put it like this: by default, the front page slider has 5 slides/banners. What steps can I take such that I have 6 slides/banners?

The easiest way to add more slides to the slide show is to just add this code to the tpl_main_page.php after the last slide and not have it configurable via the admin. If you want to be able to control the additional slides via the admin you will need to create a new banner group. There are detailed instructions posted on the forum for how to do this. Just do a search of the forum.:

<a href="your link" target="_blank"><img src="images/banners/your banner image" alt="your alt text" title="your title text" width="550" height="302" /></a>

Many thanks Anne,

I added the code to tpl_home_slider.php and it works well. I would like to modify admin though, but I've been through this thread too many times and not found any reference to adding code like

<?php
if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET14 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET14)) {
if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);
}
}
?>

to generate a new banner group. Is this what I should be searching for? And no file added to /admin seems appropriate to modify.

I am not sure if the code has already been posted to this thread or not. I would recommend doing a search of the entire forum for something like how to create a new banner group ;)

I have just undergone a system upgrade from Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS with Apache 2.4. Everything works as it should, however, looking at the attached image, you will see that the link in the header displays code instead of simply displaying the link to the shopping cart. I looked at the file and confirmed that nothing within it had changed. In 12.04, everything displayed correctly. I am using the same database and files as were on the 12.04 installation with no changes. I have a feeling it may be one more of the little changes within Apache since I installed opn my 12.04 system 3 years ago, but am not sure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. AS stated in the subject, the link to the cart works as it should, but the code being displayed is an issue that I need resolved as I know it will make customers nervous. Thanks in advance!

This is because there are php short codes used. I have already posted a fix several times for this ;) You can also see this:
