ZCA Bootstrap 4 Template [Support Thread]

Every Zen Cart version has a README with recommended PHP settings.

If you can't find a README you could look at github and search for older releases. There always is a README. Zen Cart is well documented.

I looked it up for you.

My site version is V.1.5.8a

Thank you

Zencart itself would run better at 8.1 is the recomended php. Your plugins could be a whole different story. You would have to look at each one and see what php version it supports, and then do upgrades and testing. Many plugins list an old supported php, but just kept working so there was no update. Some you have to dig through the forum to find the correct tweak for. Some you can fix using the php update doc: https://docs.zen-cart.com/dev/plugins/php_updating/
And some are just broken

OR you can just hire someone like lat9 to figure it all out for you.

My site is running ZC v1.5.8a w/ PHP v7.4
After switching to PHP v8.1, the price display box shows up with ZCA Bootstrap Template v3.7.x correctly.
It looks like some functions in ZCA Bootstrap Template v3.7.x don't work well with PHP v7.4

Maybe a note can be added to remind people who still use PHP v7.4?

Nice sleuthing! With that information, I am able to recreate the issue under PHP 7.4.

The root-cause is the additional check on lines 192

Code:

---

    if ($display_price_top === true && zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']) > 0) {

---

and line 241

Code:

---

if ($display_price_bottom === true && zen_get_products_display_price((int)$_GET['products_id']) > 0) {

---

The zen_get_products_display_price function returns a string similar to

Code:

---

<span class="mx-auto w-100 p-1 productBasePrice">$35.99</span>

---

which fails the > 0 test on PHP 7.4 but passes on PHP 8.0+. Go figure. I'll get that worthless clause removed from v3.7.2 of the template.

The changes work on PHP v7.4, thanks!

Is the bootstrap version of tpl_order_status_default.php compatible with OPC so that guests can look up order status? I have overridden zc158a core files includes/templates/default/templates/tpl_order_status_default.php and includes/modules/pages/order_status/header_php.php with the OPC versions as instructed, but what should be used for tpl_order_status_default.php in bootstrap with OPC?

That template is compatible with OPC; for bootstrap, the template's tpl_order_status_default.php should be used.

Even quicker is to go to https://docs.zen-cart.com/ and click on Server Requirements. The docs are your friend.

Hi

Am experimenting with using bootstrap template for my next upgrade - downloaded latest version and I am tinkering with it.

Generally loving it, however I can't get font awesome social icons to work - have tried a number of permutations of v5 and v6 FA - I see conflicting info on what version is applicable.

If someone could please tell me how to get a facebook, pinterest and insta icons to appear please let me know.

have you tried something like:

Code:

---

<a class="nav-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/mygramthing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-lg fa-instagram"></i></a>

---

for fa 6 you might need to do:

Code:

---

<i class="fa-brands fa-instagram"></i>
or
<i class="fa-brands fa-square-instagram"></i>
