Avonlee Contempo Template Support Thread

Hi, I have the Avonlee Contempo template loaded up and we're loving it. Only one problem, I have the slide show running with seven slides, but after the first one shows, the others don't. I only have the text 'slide2' etc showing where the actual slide image should be.
My php file looks all correct and I can't seem to see any errors on it. Can you offer me any assistance here with this one?
You can look at my site if this would be easier on www.yourebeautiful.com.au

Many thanks,
Tanya

The view source is showing that you have not defined images 2 to 7. You only have defined the 1st image. Check with the developers toolkit for IMAGE2 to see which file it is in. Once you find it, see if a define for the slide image is there.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Out of frustration, I ended up grabbing the original file and re-doing it. I still have the old file, as I want to try to get my head around what I did wrong as it was all working just find, until I decided to make the font larger in the text below the slide show. When I changed the font size, the slide show went crazy! Thanks for the advice.

My guess is that you edited the define_main_page.php with a html editor. This file contains php code and must be edited with a plain text editor.

For the absolute life of me I cannot get a background image to work on my site. I have followed many directions over and over again, including these:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/blog/?p=1838/

My image is in the includes/templates/avonlee contempo/css/stylesheet.css folder. I am so frustrated. My site is www.oldworldarchery.com

Well I guess it is working for now. It just took ipage over an hour to update it. Man! I just need to figure out how to get it static now. I swiped this code from another thread, will this work with this template?:


{background-color: transparent; /*not required but useful*/
background-image: url(http://www.yoursite/images/yourimage.jpg); /* your image*/
background-repeat: no-repeat; /*can be set to repeat-y or repeat-x*/
background-attachment: fixed; /*make image static*/
background-position: center top; /*set the start position of image*/
background-clip: border-box;
background-origin: padding-box;
background-size: 100% 100%; /*set screen area for image stretch*/
}

I am happy that you figured it out.

background-attachment:fixed; will fix the background image and let the content scroll over the top.

Thanks,

Anne

Anne has done a great job with her add-on.
Cleaning cache is sometimes overlooked as well as other sites maintain cache you can't control so, when in doubt, F5, F5, F5, bounce machine, F5, F5, F5.

Hi there,

First of all thanks for this nice template. I am currently working on testing if his is suitable for my website but i run into something i don't seem to be able to fix

When you test the site so it shows like it would be on a mobile phone the product title (wich is long with my products sometimes) goes over the price text so both are unreadable.

I really would like the display order 1. image 2. description 3. price

You can see a test version of my site runnning here http://www.pureandtimeless.de/websho...rels-c-65.html

I was also wondering what triggers the site to go to a different layout so i can keep my main design like it is and only show your template when people use mobile devices.

Thanks again

Got the overlapping stuff worked out, have to fiddle with .pl price in the responsive stylesheet.

Remains one question: Is there a way to only show the responsive template on small devices and keep my original one for desktops?
I woul also like a button to go to "normal" site even when people are on mobile

Viewing the desktop view on a mobile is a feature which is included in the newest versions of the DIY responsive template default code. I will be updating this template to the new code at some point.

I am not sure what you mean by "only show the responsive template on small devices and keep my original one for desktops?". This template is using media queries for layouts for different sized screens so you can customize the view on a mobile phone to look different than the desktop view if you like.



Thanks,

Anne

Anne,

Your templates are the best. Thank you!

I do have a customization that I'd like to make, and I'm having a hard time. I've tried several times without getting it.

On the products listing/subcategory products list, I have Quantity set within admin to display, and it does display a number, but I find it confusing to my customers to just have a number under the product photo.

How/where can I add it the text "Quantity" or "In stock:" either before or after the quantity number?

(I'm comfortable editing the product_listing.php, or any other files, but I cannot figure out how to get the desired result).

Thank you

I am happy that you like the templates ;)

If you want to make changes to the product listing pages, you will need to edit the includes/modules/avonlee_contempo/product_listing.php file. Do a search in the file and find the code that prints out the product quantity.

Thanks,

Anne

Yes, I was able to get ALMOST that far.

I can add the text "Quantity" after the image.

I can add the text "Quantity" after the field,

BUT I cannot find the code where I can add it before/after products_quantity...

^^^UPDATE IN PROGRESS^^^

I now see the the key piece of code. It's this here little $lc_text..

$lc_text = 'In stock:' . $listing->fields['products_quantity'];

GOT IT FINALLY!!!

Thanks again

There is one last extremely important thing I am trying to add that I cannot figure out. I added an extra field to my products table (products_notes) via the famous 2007 crazy_chris method.

I can get the products_notes extra field onto the product info page, but not onto this products listing page. I've tried every which way but nothing works.

Any help would be ohh so greatly appreciated!

I have seen this question asked and answered before on the forum. If you do a search of the forum, you will find the answer ;)

Me too. I have read it being asked over and over. Often without a reply, and sometimes with a reply. Sometimes in the same crazy_chris or webego thread, and many other times in different threads.

I've tried each "solution" posted (that I could find, both on the forum and other sites, and there are several completely different answers). I've lost track of all of the files that I modified and where the posts are, but I keep 2 txt files where I copy and paste out of the solutions posted to try and keep notes until I find what works.

IF you know of a solution that actually produces results, P L E A S E point me towards it!

Now that 1.5.3 is out, will avonlee contempo need to be updated too? The plugin page lists it for 1.5.1, but not 1.5.X...

Is avonlee contempo 1.6 zencart 1.5.3 compatible?

Thanks

I have not tested it yet, but I believe it is. I will not be updating this template. I will be updating the responsive avonlee contempo at some point with the new diy responsive code.

Thanks,

Anne

Anne,

I want to make Specials, New, All, and Featured all display in columns just like on the products (category) listing.

I found SNAF plugin, and see it on the picaflor site too:
http://www.picaflor-azul.com/zen-car...en-cart-module

I already have this excellent Avonlee template installed. Is the SNAF plugin the recommended way to get everything to display in rows? Or do you recommend anything else? Is there any conflicts, or should I expect any problems with the SNAF plugin installation and use with Avonlee template?

Thank you!!!

On closer inspection (if I didn't overlook anything), it appears that includes/modules/avonlee_contempo/product_listing.php is the only file that is overwritten.

I tried to learn and use the winmerge program, but I cannot figure it out yet...

Is this product_listing.php file something that needs to be merged in order to use snaf with the fantastic Avonlee Contempo template? So far everything seems to be working okay (fingers crossed), but since you list snaf as a recommended plugin I though I should check.

If all is a-okay, then perhaps you can add a note to the page so others don't bother with questions like me :P

Thanks again!

Yes, as with any module install, you should merge any common files between the new module and the template package.

Anne

Okay, but since I still cannot figure out winmerge, I tried to do a side by side comparison manually (each in notepad).

The one included with Avonlee has at the top:
* @version $Id: product_listing.php 6787 2007-08-24 14:06:33Z drbyte $
* UPDATED TO WORK WITH COLUMNAR PRODUCT LISTING For Zen Cart v1.3.6 - 10/25/2006

and the snaf one has:
* @version $Id: product_listing.php 6787 2007-08-24 14:06:33Z drbyte $
* UPDATED TO WORK WITH COLUMNAR PRODUCT LISTING For Zen Cart v1.5.0 - 01/02/2012

So my question is, is the product_listing.php that is included in the Avonlee template an older version of the file (pre 1.5.0) that should be replaced by SNAF?

(in which case NOT merged, since I'm using the much newer v1.5.3)

Or did you update it from 1.3.6, and simply never documented the change, and it's actually NOT 1.3.6?

(in which case maybe it should be merged)

Or is there something else I'm not understanding?

Check to see if are other changes further down in the file that have to be merged.

Thanks,

Anne

I definitely see differences... The question is if the file in the Avonlee template is OLDER, OR if you changed it but did not document it, and it is something other than what the file says it is:
* @version $Id: product_listing.php 6787 2007-08-24 14:06:33Z drbyte $
* UPDATED TO WORK WITH COLUMNAR PRODUCT LISTING For Zen Cart v1.3.6 - 10/25/2006

Unlike the SNAF file, which is documented and clearly states:
* SNAF version 1.2
* product listing version

So basically you are saying that the file in the Avonlee template has been changed, but not commented to say so? And THEREFORE needs to be merged? Otherwise why would a 1.3.6 file in a 1.5.1 template need to be merged with a 1.5.0 updated version of the file (being used in a 1.5.3 install)?

I am assuming that since the file is in the template package and in an override directory that I have changed it in some way. You will need to merge any changes you find in the file. I do believe that this template package is older than the snaf module.

Anne

Your page is broken after the login prompts.
Check your "log" directory for the errors that this is causing?

I just answered this where you posted on the other template thread. No need to double post.

Thanks,

Anne

Great template - i seem to be having an issue with additional images

Problem is i switch back to my "other" template and additional images work and show

Using this template " Avonlee Contempo Template" i cant see to get the images to work

I look everywhere - is anyone able to help

I been working just on this part for days trying to work it out

www.campingmate.com.au

I have recently installed your template and I have a small problem on my index page.

New, featured and special products are not automatically appearing in the centre of the page. They only appear there when I click on new, featured etc.

I have changed to the standard template and they appear. I know its probably just a setting on the template but just can't find what to change. My website is www.therummagehole.co.uk.

Thank you x

tab-head.jpg file missing from template images. This is causing security issues with google. Where can I obtain this image, as it is NOT in the images folder from original download from picaflor-azul website.

You could possibly check with Anne on her site.
You are aware that this mod is not rated for newer than Zen Cart 1.5.1?

I'm using v1.5.5e

Precisely, I think there are additions and corrections required to make her 1.5.1 templates play nice with 1.5.5e

understood. Thank you for your assistance

Hi,
Does this Add on template run on the new 1.5.5.e version? I am having an Issue installing the SQL patches. When I send them I get, WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. does not matter what I do it just keeps repeating.
Thanks for the help,
Mark

Sorry. http://www.trinketstreasuresandtastytreats.com/

tpl_product_info_default.php file is missing. Where can I obtain a copy? I am using template version 1.2 and Zen cart 1.5.5e

Thanks,
Anthony

Neither of the templates show version 1.2 in the plugins section.

I suggest you download the latest responsive and test if it will even work with 1.5.5e. Been a lot of changes since 1.5.1, especially PHP.

Thanks.

Oddly, I did find v1.6 in my download folder. I'll have to confirm that this version is uploaded to the root. In the admin section, this template is shown as v1.2
