Re: ZCA Bootstrap Template
I have been using Bootstrap since it was only a bootlace but I use clone template (now V1.2.1) to make a copy and alter only my template version.
I also use separate stylesheets to over ride the original styles to avoid editing the originals eg I have a style sheet named "stylesheet_zcbmh_overides.css" which is loaded after the main "stylesheet.css" to improve on the bootstrap styles that annoy me or to improve the user interface.
I also have style sheets for many of the add-ons I use eg ceon back in stock; securepay; ozpost etc. I also have a style sheet named "stylesheet_xbanner.css" that colours the background on #logowrapper so each of my sites has a different colour and I can look at a screen and immediately determine which environment I am looking at eg vanilla is yellow; test is lime; build is purple; production is red.
Bootstrap 4 v3.2.0 and zc157c work with the followings add-ons: clone template 1.2.1; payment module fee 1-1-0; Direct bank Deposit V1.5.3 (AUS revised); securepayxml (modified for 157c); mod list 1.4.1; ozpost v4.2.7 (modified for 157c); numinix product fields 3.1.2; save your sideboxes layout as the default 151 (mod for 157c); ceon_back_in_stock_notifications V12; export_shipping_information_V1.4; edit_orders-4.6.0; printable price list 3.0.0; missing image checker 2.0 (modified for 157c); sales report 3.4.0; email archive manager 1.9; aupost 2.3;
I hope this helps.
Environment - Production: Zen Cart 157c; Apache 2.4.41; PHP 7.4.3; MySQL 8.0.27; Ubuntu 5.4.0

I have seen an implementation for one page checkout. Is there any other implementations?
Thank you
every plugin that i have completed works with the bootstrap template:

with regards to various slider plugins, all of these are based on various slider libraries. in my experience, these slider libraries come and go. and you need to pick a slider that is based on a library that is currently supported. for example, i have a copy of v2.1 of ZX Slideshow. it is based on the nivo slider library. that library is no longer maintained, and as such, i could not recommend using v2.1 of that plugin. https://github.com/Codeinwp/Nivo-Slider-jQuery
the bootstrap template is actively maintained. if you want a slider to use with this template, i would find one that is actively maintained as well.
best.

You never stop learning. I know I don't. While your theory worked with responsive_classic or other templates, it will need to be different with bootstrap.
See https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....39#post1386139 and follow it to github for more clarificcation.

Thank you very much for sharing the link. I really appreciate it.
ZX slideshow is the one i am using right now on my site with a clone of responsive classic. I did and still have some issue with it like jquery conflict...
Any similar slideshow you would recommend using with bootstrap template?
Thank you

just to be clear, having a jquery conflict has nothing to do with the issue i'm bringing up. in general, jquery conflicts are due to merging elements between your template and your plugins.
a number of these sliders are based on outdated versions of jquery, which also has its problems.
unfortunately i do not have one to recommend. perhaps @balihr might, as he (in my mind) is a front end king. @swguy might know a good one, as he knows the plugins far better than i.
i tried playing around for a while with tiny-slider (http://ganlanyuan.github.io/tiny-slider/demo/), but alas my front end foo is not strong; or other projects took precedence. so i never really had a working go of it on a zc site.
best.
Re: ZCA Bootstrap Template
I've got a (beta) Bootstrap 4 slider for the home-page (https://github.com/lat9/bs4_home_slider). It makes use of the banner-manager to schedule the sliders.
