Fantastic news! Thank you.

In a new fresh installation of zc1.5.8a I want to install v3.6.3 of the ZCA Bootstrap Template and OPC v2.4.6.
Which order would be preferable: Bootstrap first and then OPC or the other way around?

TIA,

jpda

Probably OPC first, then Bootstrap. My reasoning is that the Bootstrap template has its own, modified version of various OPC templates, so doing OPC first helps to ensure that the Bootstrap version of those template files isn't overwritten.

Thanks Cindy for your quick answer, I will install in that order.

Working in ZenCart v1.5.8a, PHP v8

Question:
Installing Bootstrap 3.6.3
In the install files I see 2 folders:
ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.6.3/includes/languages/english/bootstrap
ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.6.3/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions

I would expect also ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.6.3/includes/languages/english/html_includes
containing /bootstrap/html_includes/bootstrap
to override the defines as in ZenCart v1.5.8a includes/languages/english/html_includes/responsive_classic/

Is that correct?

Is that correct?

I'm not sure how others have done it but I just created my own bootstrap folder in html_includes and have my own define_main_page.php file in there, or any other files I don't want overridden when updating.

so:
includes/languages/english/html_includes/bootstrap/

Not sure how others have done it, but I created my own bootstrap folder inside html_includes that contains define_main_page.php (or any of those files). That way it doesn't get overridden when updating.

includes/languages/english/html_includes/bootstrap/

thank you for the update. I have updated it but now I get a fatal error on the Products All page.

--> PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "TEXT_SHOW" in C:\xampp\htdocs\ZEN\zen_158a\includes\templates\bootstrap\templates\tpl_products_all_default.php:23
Stack trace:
#0 C:\xampp\htdocs\ZEN\zen_158a\includes\templates\bootstrap\common\tpl_main_page.php(217): require()

#2 {main}
thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\ZEN\zen_158a\includes\templates\bootstrap\templates\tpl_products_all_default.php on line 23.

Upon checking it seems that I use to use BOOTSTRAP v1.0.BETA for tpl_products_all_default.php. I am not sure why it never updated previously.

Using zen cart version 1.5.8a , PHP 8.2

Thanks @Shifty_J, that's exactly what I did myself.
But I wanted to point out that IMHO it should be in the distribution of ZCA-Bootstrap-Template.
