Stirling Grand Responsive Template

I checked the file permissions and they are all 644. (from other posts that involved edits not 'saving'.
Should I rerun any of the Stirling SQL patches? I was afraid to do that re to the instructions:
"DO NOT INSTALL THE responsive.sql OR about_us.sql PATCHES IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED ONE OF OUR TEMPLATES OR HAVE RUN THESE PATCHES BEFORE "

Found the answer HERE, post #24

Seems it is a bug in the default v1.5.1 code, not with the template, but it sure was easy to blame the template. Since stirling_grand does not have a /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME_HERE/templates/tpl_page_default.php file, I edited the core file /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_page_default.php

Do not run the patches again. As I have said, this is not a template related problem. I would recommend searching the forum for others who have had similar problems.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you for tracking down the answer and posting. It is always best to edit the override file so you can just copy the core file /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_page_default.php to /includes/templates/stirling_grand/templates/tpl_page_default.php

Thanks,

Anne

I've just completed a website for my wife, using this template - and she's made her first sale!

I've sent you some coffee and sugar-free donuts by way of a small contribution for your work.

Hopefully others who have also benefited from your free templates would feel likewise inclined.

Cheers

Simon

Thank you so much! I really appreciate donations of any size. Thank you for supporting the development of new free templates and the updates of current templates.

Hi Anne
I am running your Stirling Garnd template on ZenCart v1.5.1. I deperately need to change the height of the slides from 250 px to 84 px. I also need to add a 6th slide. I have read the readme file exhaustively, looked inside all css files, searched all forums on responsive templates, searched for the value "250" within all the files and I still cannot find where the setting is for this.
You told another member with a similar request that the info is in the readme file, but sorry it's not there! Please, please help before my head explodes!
Thank you
Owen

Change the height of the slide show in includes/templates/stirling_grand/common/tpl_home_slider.php

If you want to add a new slide, you will edit the same file. You can either add another banner group, of just hard code the slide.

Thanks,

Anne

The "larger image" button on the product listing page opens up a small window (150 X 150). The image is actually 500 X 500.

This is with the standard Zen Cart image popups. Any idea why this is happening?

This is a bug in the old version of the responsive template default code. It will be fixed in the template package when I update to the newest version of the responsive template default code. There was discussion of this just a day or two ago on another of my responsive template threads. If you do a forum search you will find it.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks for your speedy reply. I found that the img tag in responsive.css was causing the problem. I've commented it out for now, but haven't yet checked how it affects smaller screens.

Line 4:
img{max-width:100%;height:auto;border:0;}

This line of css can not be removed because it is important for the responsiveness of the design. It resizes the width of images so that they shrink to fit the size of the device that is used to view the site.

I do not have the time to look up a solution that another member posted just a few days ago. If you do a quick forum search you will find the post. It was on one of the other threads for my responsive templates.

Thanks,

Anne

Yes, I noticed that. I found the threads with posted solutions, but they don't quite work for my situation. No worries, my site is still in development, I'll post my solution when I find it.

I am loving this template! Just having one small problem that I can't seem to solve. Have searched extensively and tried several things, but to no avail!

All I want to do is change the header area where the logo and tag line are in the upper left corner. I want to make the logo bigger and remove the text below it completely! Anyone know if this is possible?

I would like for my image to be as large as possible without pushing everything out of shape. Right now if I go any larger than 60px high, everything looks funky!

Sorry if this is simple and I just don't get it. Thanks in advance for any help!

Any modifications are possible, but you will probably have to make adjustments to the css, xhtml, or php files.

Okay, I am fine with that. What needs to be changed?

Here's my solution for the "larger image" problem:

responsive.css line 4 change

Code:

---

img{max-width:100%;height:auto;border:0;}

---

to

Code:

---

img{height:auto;border:0;}

---

Add

Code:

---

img{max-width:100%;}

---

to the bottom of the

Code:

---

@media (min-width:768px) and (max-width:979px){

---

section (around line 263).

Clicking on the "larger image" link - I've been trying out my design on a tablet, and when you click on the "larger image" link, a new window opens. This is fine on a desktop computer, because it's obvious that a new window has opened, but on the tablet the image takes up the whole screen, with nothing to indicate what to do next.

I think we need some kind of text identifying the image and something like "click image to continue".

I would recommend trying the zen magnific module or zen lightbox module.

I did all of that and it didn't work out real well. I would also like to get rid of the tagline below the header image if possible!

Could I simply download and embed my logo in the background image that the cart is floating on top of? Then upload a transparent logo and delete the text for the tagline? Where do I find the background image if that is possible?

That is not the best way to accomplish it. It will cause a lot of other problems, the background image is a small repeating image in includes/templates/stirling_grand/images

Fair enough. What then is the best way to accomplish my goal? What problems would it cause if I created a background image with my logo embedded?

The best way is to use the logo functionality in zen cart for your logo and then either hide other header elements or adjust their positioning in the includes/templates/stirling_grand/common/tpl_header.php file, using css, or both.

This should be the easiest and most important mod to any website. It is incredibly ridiculous that Zen Cart has made it nearly impossible to change the size and placement of the logo in the header! I love the software, but am baffled by this oversight!

It is not impossible to change the size and placement of the logo. All I am saying is that if you upload a logo that is a different size than the recommended logo size for the template, you may have to make adjustments.

Thanks,

Anne

I have an issue with the prices jumping out of alignment as soon as the template switches to min-width mode on the product listing page. It's ok in column layout but not row layout, which we prefer. Any ideas? I switched to column layout till fixed so I can't post a link, but you can see a screen grab of the problem here: denliv.com/prices

This template was coded specifically to use the column layout so I did not spend much time on the rows layout. If you want to use the rows layout you might have to make some adjustments in the responsive.css

Hi Anne... let me first just say that this template is a first class, five star effort... six stars, even... and I thank you very much for it - and will be donating to you. I was thrilled to come across it.

I'm currently upgrading/recreating a 1.39 site in 1.51 and have a fair amount of experience tweaking Zen through php/css and sql queries. What would be your recommended route for breaking out product categories along the top bar (in the full screen "desktop" version)? Two categories would be okay, but I would really like three, with products dropping down just as they already do. I have no problem moving the other links to make room, so bar space is not an issue.

Ideally, these would carry over in the middle responsive version, but as long as the categories could still condense (or disappear entirely) at smaller screen sizes, that would be fine, too. I explored some ways including messing with "manufacturers" (it's all one manufacturer, but someone suggested that as a hacky way of going about it). There was another solution in Mega Menu which involved querying, but this proved fairly unsatisfactory in the responsive environment... and I also might have borked the whole menu in the process, so I decided to give up and go back to the (very nice) default.

I didn't want to spend too much longer on a wild goose chase without at least first getting your opinion on what method might work best for this inside your template, if any. The existing cart has legacy product urls (or at least product id's) that I would like to maintain because of google. Any ideas? Thank you.

I am so happy that you like the package and have found it useful ;)

You can show all of the top categories by using the alternate category_ul_generator.php file found in the css horizontal drop down menu module:

http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1243

The upgrade should not effect your product urls at all since you will be using the same database ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne...

Thank you for leading me in the right direction. Got it mostly working but couldn't figure out how to show subcategories under the categories. After a bit of hair pulling and reading (again) through the entire Mega Menu thread, I found this link:

http://nigeltsblog.blogspot.co.uk/20...pdown-for.html

Which explains it step by step and works perfectly. Thanks again. Will be donating soon... the template is well worth it.

I highly suggest you avoid this package. It is impossible to change the image in the header! I have wasted several hours of my own time and have even paid a professional to have a look. The amount of work it takes to do the most simple thing imaginable is completely mind boggling! Save yourself a HUGE headache and use something else! You will regret installing this!

There are instructions in the readme.html file for changing the logo. There is also a tutorial in the FAQs section of this site with instructions on how to change the logo. This is one of the most basic changes that you will make to any template and literally thousands of users have made this change without getting headaches :lookaroun

Thanks,

True, I guess I should have been more clear. Changing the logo is easy as pie. If you want to make the logo larger than the tiny little space they provide for it. You are completely left out to dry! If you're cool with a barely readable little image tucked away in the upper left corner of your site, this zen cart thing is perfect for you! If you want something that looks good, you're in the wrong place!

SBNHPV,

With all due respect, you're off base with your comments about this template. Anne's FREE work is an asset to anyone running Zen Cart. I recently changed one of my sites to this template (Stirling Grand), and got incredible feedback from most of my wholesale customers. My sales and page views also jumped immediately.

The problem here is your perception of how the logo should be changed, or the software should work. And the solution is simple, find another cart/template that does work for you...or re-assess your expectation of how much work it is to get your logo the way you want it. You wouldn't buy a dump truck and then complain that you lost a drag race. So my suggestion is that your expectation of the tool you chose was incorrect. I'd suggest that you look for another cart/template that specifically allows for the type of logo changes you need.

The same concept can be applied to Zen Cart. It is a free shopping cart. If it doesn't work for you, you are free to use something different. The sense of entitlement here disappoints me. Both the cart and the template are free, but you've done nothing but bash them. The better solution would have been to realize that Zen Cart and/or Stirling Grand didn't fit your needs or expectations, and move on to something different.

There is no need to make blanket statements that someone will "...regret installing this" based purely on your misperceptions.

Really? I changed my logo specifics one morning after downloading this template while walking my dog on my mobile phone. I've probably made hundreds of customizations to my site this way, it really is that simple. why be stuck at a desk.

I believe the person posting was just frustrated, as I am. Instead of lashing back that a person should know how to do this or go elsewhere, there should be a little more understanding that some people need specific support, e.g. 'change this in css, and this code in this template file' to adjust settings for larger logos. I am a designer and know html and have an intermediate knowledge of css. But when we're on a forum and we ask, I think the support should be there other than, 'You might have to tweak the style sheet'. That's my current frustration as well.

I changed the logo to 100px high x 323px wide. I can't figure out how to make the dark background behind the mega menu drop down the way it's supposed to. If someone can give me a specific instruction I would appreciate it, where in css and/or where in the header template file. Thank you. handy waste dot com / order

What is it exactly that you can't manage to do? I have no connection or affiliation to picaflor azul but every store I create I've used and adapted one of Anne's templates, easily.
Ask a specific question and you'll get a specific answer.

I am sorry that you are frustrated. If you are going to take on the task of customizing your own zen cart template then you should be prepared to do some legwork. If you use a logo of a different size than that shown in the demo, you *might* need to make some adjustments to the css. If you have an intermediate knowledge of css, it should be no problem. If you have a specific question, or get stuck on something, then I am happy to help out. You would need to post a link to your site.

I spend a lot of time on the forum answering questions daily. You can read through any of my template threads to see the thousands of times I have helped people. Normally, if I give people the tools or general answer to help them find the answer to their question, that is enough.

Thanks,

Anne

I would recommend using firefox and installing firebug. It tells you the exact line of the stylesheet that needs to be edited. I would start by removing the height on the
#logoWrapper, then remove the margin-top on #navMainSearch, then adjust the positioning of #mega-wrapper

Hi Anne,

I've been looking for over 3 hours for the fix of the bug for the popup image on product page issue without success. All the posts I find state that the patch was given in one of the responsive templates forum but I can't find any fix, solution or patch. I even tried to override with latest responsive default DIY css (all 4) and didn't work neither. :blink:

Would it be too much to ask of you to post it (in any of your responsive template forums) with a text that can be easily found? Since you already have and know the fix, should be easier for you to just post it. Maybe writing "Fix_to_Image_Popup_Issue" or similar so it can be found... Because you also mentioned to update your template files in the download area but hasn't been done neither, and I do believe just posting the fix is simpler, easier, and faster than the update. :unsure:

Thanks in advance...

We will have to consult rbarbour for this one. He has told me that the bug is fixed in the newest version of the responsive template default and I have been working with that code for a new template package and can confirm that it has been fixed in the new code, but I don't know the exact code that he used to fix the problem.

I know this was posted on one of the threads but I like you ideasgirl, cannot locate either.

In /includes/templates/stirling_grand/common/html_header.php file

Where all the responsive code is called, you will see:

PHP Code:

---

if (COLUMN_WIDTH == '0') { 


---

change to:

PHP Code:

---

if (COLUMN_WIDTH == '0' || (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'popup_image')) )) { 


---

You can exclude the responsive code on any page simply by adding the page name separated by a comma.

Thanks Anne for a great template.

Thanks rbarbour for that fix, now I can move on. :hug:

Thank you so much for posting this ;) and for your excellent contributions to the zen cart community. As I said in my previous post, I have been working on a new template package using the newest version of the responsive template default and I just love all of the new features!

Thanks,

Anne

I even tried to override with latest responsive default DIY css (all 4) and didn't work neither. :blink:

Would it be too much to ask of you to post it (in any of your responsive template forums) with a text that can be easily found? Since you already have and know the fix, should be easier for you to just post it. Maybe writing "Fix_to_Image_Popup_Issue" or similar so it can be found... Because you also mentioned to update your template files in the download area but hasn't been done neither, and I do believe just posting the fix is simpler, easier, and faster than the update. :unsure:

Thanks in advance...

I'm not quite sure what this bug is, something about the popup not opening to the correct size, perhaps. Early on I installed the zen magnific module - a responsive popup which works beautifully.

Maybe this will do as a workaround for you?

I would say that it sounds like your "professional" doesn't know Zen Cart. Because as several folks have pointed out this is one of the EASIEST changes to make when modifying one's template..

Yes, it's that issue about the popup image not opening to correct large size.

Thanks, I will have that option in mind but Rbarbour's fix worked like a charm.

I'm wondering which template file I need to edit so that I can have the Product Listing "details" link look like a CSS button as seen on the rest of page. I tried looking at the tpl_modules_product_listing.php and tpl_index_product_list.php but I'm not seeing what I'd need to change. See image attached

Did you turn on css buttons in admin--layout settings?

Thanks,

Anne

Yes I have CSS buttons turned on, and as you can see in the image I attached previously the buttons are showing for New Products, Featured Products etc, but it doesn't show for the product category list itself for some reason.

I was able to fix it. It appears it isn't a feature you show even on your demo, so I added it.

For others interested - edit file /includes/modules/stirling_grand/product_listing.php line 166 to read:

Code:

---

          $lc_button = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id']) > 0 ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? $_GET['cPath'] : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' .'<span class="cssButton button_goto_prod_details" style="width:80px;" onmouseout="this.className=\'cssButton button_goto_prod_details\'" onmouseover="this.className=\'cssButtonHover button_goto_prod_details button_goto_prod_detailsHover\'">' . MORE_INFO_TEXT . '</span></a>';

---

I also edited the stylesheet_css_buttons.css file to add:
.button_goto_prod_details {display: block; margin-bottom: 5px;}

Ok, I see what you mean now. Thank you for posting about the bug and for posting your fix. I will be sure to include it in a future template update.

I have a further complication to the popup image issue. I made the change to html_header.php, and the popup now works as it should with respect to the main product image (bksb.jpg). With each of two additional images, however, the popup remains small, and each additional image ( bksb_1.jpg and bksb_2.jpg) loads into the popup a copy of the main product image.

I have no debug logs. If I revert to the classic template, all works as it should.

italianahandbags . com . au /014 /

Shop, then 'test stuff'.

I thought initially that this was an issue with Zen Magnific, but I have uninstalled that. Any thoughts?

As far as the additional image popup, you need to add that page to the code I provided for the html_header.php

PHP Code:

---

 if (COLUMN_WIDTH == '0' || (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'popup_image,popup_image_additional')) )) { 


---

I would copy and upload /includes/modules/additional_images.php

to

/includes/modules/stirling_grand/additional_images.php

to restore file.

Excellent. Thank you so much.

Oops. Not quite. When I reinstall Zen Magnific, I am back with my initial problem: 'The image #2 could not be loaded'; 'The image #2 could not be loaded'. Hmm. No debug errors.

I am getting a forbidden error on your LARGE additional images

WORKS
/014/images/faranella/faran_1.jpg
/014/images/faranella/faran_2.jpg
/014/images/faranella/faran_3.jpg

DOES NOT WORK (check permissions)

/014/images/large/faranella/faran_2_LRG.jpg
/014/images/large/faranella/faran_3_LRG.jpg

I don't have images with prefixes. I'm using the product in 'test stuff' which works OK with the classic template.

I tried adding 'modules_main_product_image' (Zen Magnific file) to html_header, but it killed the page.

Zen Magnific pulls the image from the /large/ directory with an image suffix of LRG, just the way it was coded.

I see. I am uploading only one version of each image and letting zencart resize. So there is no way I can do that with Zen Magnific? The fact that it works OK with the main product image suggests an issue with pages, no?

For the second additional image, I now have bksb_2_LRG.jpg in the /large directory. It is looking for it, but won't load it. I have permissions on /large at 777.

No! Got it. It wants the LRG file in a sub-directory /test_stuff in /large! Second popup now loads correctly. So there is no way to use one image with Zen Magnific?

Their is but why would you want to load the large images on page load and resize them, it will slow your page time. Zen Magnific is designed to be lightweight and produce the larger images on the fly.

Please continue in that thread.

I have a new challenge. When I load the Zen Magnific popup, say, from the main product image, the mega menu sits over the top of it. Messing about with z-index in stylesheet_mega_menu.css and stylesheet_zen_magnific.css, I can find no setting which will position the mega-menu list behind the popup image. The z-index structure for the popup is complex, so it seems to me that the simplest approach is to position the menu, but it resists even '!important'.

What approach should I take here?

No, I take your advice. Better to upload two images than preload the large image. Thanks for your time.

in stylesheet_mega_menu.css, very first line, change z-index from 9999 to 999.

Good grief. Thanks again.

Hi Anne,
First of all thanks for your generosity providing this responsive template!!

I'm really hoping you can help me... I fear I've done something stupid and I can't find my mistake. :P

http://swatchbuddies.angelhartlinedesigns.com/
I'm adapting your template to work with my site (this is a dev url) and it's working fabulously so far. However the parent links on the mobile size menus do not open when you click them. The menu works other than that. I've tried re-uploading the script files. I've must've messed something up but I don't know what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, I am new to ZenCart and this really cool template. I am having an issue with the tagline in the header as my tagline is quite long and is bleeding into the menu system. I am unsure on how to fix this and was hoping someone could tell me what file to edit to allow for a longer tagline.

If you change the #tagline to width:65% and then change #logo to margin-bottom:10px it will look better ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you thank you thank you.

I appreciate the quick reply and that worked like a champ, I have been racking my brain trying to fix that.

Using this template I have just come across a problem with EZ-pages.

All have been setup identically to use internal pages like this

index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0
index.php?main_page=conditions
index.php?main_page=shippinginfo
index.php?main_page=pricelist

They ALL work from the ez pages in the side bar, and they also work from the 'info' drop down mega menu - EXCEPT the last one - which is set to open in a new window and results in a 404 page error if opened from the mega menu.
On investigation it appears that any ez pages set to open in a new window do not work from the mega menu and result in a page not found.

Is this a template issue or something else???

The ezpages_drop_menu box used to show the ezpages in the mega menu was part of another older menu module. I have heard of this bug already. If you figure out the solution, please post your findings and I can include the code in a future template update.

I'm no coder so the chances of my being able to fix the problem are about as close to my being able to fly as you can get :P

I found the only way to get it to work was to use the external link when configuring the ez page, if I want it to open in a new page, like so
http://domain.com/cart/index.php?main_page=pricelist :sadwalk:

Thanks Anne - my reply was a 'little tongue in cheek' as you probably guessed :blink:

I will look around when I have some time later, but getting the correct search words can take a little perseverance sometimes.
If you do come across anything, a heads up would be appreciated. :cool:

Oh yes, anytime I find a fix for anything I always post to the template support thread ;)

As always :hug:

Hi Anne,

Thank you so much for the cool template! Really appreciate it.

I'm having an issue with a dev site (local running on WAMP). It's a new install of ZC v1.5.1, with your template installed.

The problem is that the site works beautifully when using a computer/PC, but when accessing the dev site using Android-based devices, (OLD Google Nexus One, generic Android 10" tablet and generic Android 5" smartphone) it only displays a long vertical list of blue links (every link on the site, I might add) on a white background...? I mean, no graphics whatsoever other than the links. I'd include a screenshot if I could, but I have no clue how to do that with a cell phone, sorry.

I've tried suggestions I found on the net, but so far, nothing has worked for me at all.

Any clues as to what's going on, or am I just totally missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas you can give me.

Guido

P.S. Should have said I tried accessing the site using the stock Android browser and also the latest version of Firfox for Android...neither works...

If the template demo works, but your version on your wamp server does not work, then the problem may be server related.

Thanks,

Anne

OK...I'll see what (if anything) I can figure out. If I get it to work, I'll post back with what I did to fix it.

Thanks again.

After a LOT of messing around, I finally figured this out. It may not be a big deal for people who don't use a local dev site, but for those who do use WAMP server and have the same problem I was having, here is how I fixed it. Just be aware you may also have to tweak your httpd.conf file.



Before you proceed with what I'm going to suggest, PLEASE make copies of these 2 files: /your_store/includes/configure.php and /your_store/your_admin/includes/configure.php.

AND BACK UP YOUR DATABASE !!!!!! I take no responsibility for anything that goes awry with your installation. All I know is that this worked for me.

The problem had to do with 2 files in Zencart and also the MySQL database priveleges.



In /your_store/includes/configure.php, I made these 3 changes:

Changed define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://192.168.x.x');
Changed define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); to define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://192.168.x.x');
Changed define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); to define('DB_SERVER', '192.168.x.x');



In /your_store/your_admin/includes/configure.php, I made these 5 changes:

Changed define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://192.168.x.x');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://localhost'); to define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://192.168.x.x');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); to define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://192.168.x.x');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://localhost'); to define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://192.168.x.x');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); to define('DB_SERVER', '192.168.x.x');



In phpMyAdmin, selct your database and click the Privileges tab, then the Add User link. Fill in the Login Information field if you want to (I selected Any User from the dropdown). For the Host, select the option labelled as "Use Text Field" and type in your computer's LAN/IP address in the text box. Scroll down to the Global privileges form. Select the choose all link (or select specific ones you want to assign to this user). Click on Go button. When connecting to MySQL from your remote computer, use the details you just set up.

After doing all that, I restarted WAMP, put the server online (be careful with this unless you have a stupendous firewall running...as soon as you're done testing, be sure to take WAMP OFFLINE), and Anne's template now loads beautifully on all of my Android devices.

So...very long story short, Anne, you've done a fine job with your responsive templates....I applaud you and thank you profusely ! :clap: :clap: :bow:

Hello,

How do I get new links in the megamenu? For example, say I want one of the More Information sideboxes (page_2.php) to appear in the upper mega menu, how do I do so?

Thanks! :-)

You can add them to includes/templates/stirling_grand/common/tpl_mega_menu.php and includes/templates/stirling_grand/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php

Thanks,

Thanks for directing me where to look.

I'm not very good with some types of code, and I looked in the forum and cannot find more help (probably because everyone knows how to do this!), but how would I make a link between Home and Brands in the Mega Menu? For example, if I want the link to be called "Events" and the link to be http://www.mywebsite.com/catalog/ind...in_page=page_3, what line of code would I need to put in those two files?

I'm sorry; I just cannot figure it out!
