Sidebox issue

[Fenomenal7]

Greetings!

I recently went to define pages editor to change the categories for my sidebox, define_homepages_v1.php and I changed the category of "beauty and health" to "beauty" - linking it to my beauty products page and when I did that now my homepage says that the slideshow is not found and banner manager id is not valid; however I didn't change any code or any banner or banner id. I'm sending screenshots to show what's on my screen. My site is www.cedargroveherbs.com/new (i'm working on a new store), and I'm using ZC Version 1.5.8. I'm also including pictures of what the slideshow and banner originally looked like. Should I send a pic of the source code for the define_homepages_v1.php? *I changed the category back to how it was before I changed it to see if that would fix the problem but it still says slideshow not found and banner manager id is not valild.

You have me confused and I lived in Lufkin at one time.

The information in the Categories sidebox is determined by the actual categories in the admin.

The define_main_page is something totally different and cannot dictate which categories are present in the sidebox.

I'm afraid we're going to need a little more information to sort this one out.

Cool! I've been here for 20 years. Believe me, it's not your fault that this is confusing. I think it's the way this new template "NEON" was designed. I have categories already created in my categories in admin. However, on the sidebar I wanted to link the categories to the pages (because I'm not using their fashion categories, I'm creating a Herb & Metaphysical store). Maybe seeing this code from the define_homepage_v1.php will help. Sh*ts crazy! I'm scared to make any changes to the define editor pages because this is the second time I've had a problem. I made a change 2 days ago to the define_information_links.php in the define editor (which only showed bullet points with no words), in an attempt to add my blog link and all the links disappeared on the website. I fixed it, but I didn't fix the way they originally had it, I just wrote the names of the pages and linked them to my pages (privacy_policy, Conditions of use, site map, etc.). It looks the same on the site, I just know they had it set up a different way originally behind the scenes.

Cool.. I've been here 20 years.

Believe me, it's not your fault that it's confusing. I think it's the way the author created the template. Its called "NEON". I have categories created already with all my products. When it comes to the sidebar, in the define_homepages_v1.php the categories that came with the template are for fashion but I'm creating an herb & metaphysical store, so I wanted to change them to reflect my particular categories. However, when I made a change to customize it, the situation occurred. It's bothersome - 2 days ago I went to define_imporant_links.php to customize the links (the page just showed bullet points with no words) and when I tried to add my blog page link it showed the important links gone on the site. It's the way they have the code set up on the define pages editor. How can I show you the code?

[dbltoe]

Over fifty for me but the house is still there.

It's always best to answer all the questions in the posting tips AND, if possible, give us a link to the site.

In posting the link to the site, use a format like yoursiteDOTcom until you really want the whole world to drop by.

With what I'm hearing and a store-bought template, you may have a rough battle ahead.

Yeah, I've been having problems with it from day 1, but slowly but surely I have fixed all of them and I'm learning in the process. Plus I have you guys! So I might hang in there. Once I have the site looking good I can leave it as is for a while and take a break. I'm sooo tired lol.

The site where u can view the problem is www.cedargroveherbs.com/new

I *highly* encourage you to have a developer (*) review this template against the list of recommended template fixes in

https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/templ...plate_changes/

The Perfectus/Webtwine templates are often based on 1.5.4/1.5.5 and have not been updated since then. This means security holes, accessibility problems, PHP 8 issues, and missing notifiers so plugins fail to work.

As a general rule, I discourage people from using these templates.

(*) Not me; someone else.

[dbltoe]

That template is like trying to get to Diboll on 69. Ain't gonna happen.

You still haven't answered the posting tips so I'm not sure what version you are using.

I'd wait till 2.0's release and go with the Bootstrap template.

stop pissing on other peoples template choices. either help with their problem or move on.

all these comments do is chase potential developers from working on this project. less developers means less stores; less stores means less hosting.

TIS.

unlike others, i am willing to help people that have templates outside of the norm.

to start off, when working on your new site, i would turn off whatever URL writer you have on. getting that to work is generally not that hard; but when posting a link as to where your problem might be, it is far easier for someone, who actually knows code, to help when they do not have to decipher what, in fact the page is.

i think your template looks good, and i would encourage you to continue working on it.

i would also pay heed to what @swguy said. the security fixes are important.

best.

Absolutely.
The lack of any attractive templates whatsoever forces the brave and determined (to use ZC) to use commercial alternatives, horrendous as they are to those who are familiar with the innards of the code.

Many "templates" are not just visual mods but a complete site solution including a pile of (outdated) plugins and hacks (that arguably should be in the core to begin with) making "template integration" into a formidable site merge-upgrade nightmare followed, I expect, in many cases by a jump to an alternative ecommerce solution that offers what people think they need.

Hence supporting these users who persevere in their quest is a Pandoras box of support with problems on multiple fronts, so yes it's understandable to recommend that users stay well away from such packages. But what alternatives are there???

I sympathise as I am currently going round in circles trying a commercial template vs Bootstrap.
And getting no work done.
And getting a lot of pressure from my partner who cannot understand why the hell would I waste my time with this if there are no templates/designers because no-one uses it anymore?
