Carlisle Fresh Template Support Thread

Hello :-) This is a brand new responsive template package free for the zen cart community. I have built this using the Responsive DIY Template Default for v1.5.x by rbarbour, thank you rbarbour, again! This template ha a very minimal design and could look good in a multitude of different colors by just changing the background and font colors in the stylesheet. The layout is very clean with a single column on the home page and 2 column for the inner pages.



See the live demo here:

Do you lose the ability to change currency on mobile devices or have I just not found the button yet? This is a very minor issue.

Though everything looks good but I'm having trouble with the drop navigation menu functionality on my touchscreen tablet. Works nice with a mouse but not with my finger. IE 10.0.9 & Windows8 IEapp. Windows8RT. I will check with an HP-EnvyX2 Win8 tablet later today. Hopefully this is a user issue on my part because I feel like I'm raining on a parade by mentioning it. I'm using your functional demo versions on your website as my testing models. I don't have the ability to test other browsers on the tablet.

The same is true on other templates but there is a left sidebox to use as an alternative.

The currencies functionality is still there. I just removed the box in the header for cleanliness sake.

What sort of trouble do you have with the menu? Is it the pure css mega menu or the mobile version menu?

The categories or any other sidebox can be turned on at this size. You would have to remove the display:none; I added to the responsive.css stylesheet for the left hand column on the tablet.

And, please keep the feedback coming ;) Improvements can not be made without it.

Thanks,

Anne

Currency. Gotcha. I was just using your demo before installing/customizing.

It is the PureCSS megamenu. Unless it is me, there is no 'hover' functionality with a finger on a touchscreen. It's not specific to this template. On my tablet, your website is also difficult to navigate without a keyboard or mouse attached. Maybe it's my fingers :mellow: since I'm new to tablet and touchscreen functionality.

I didn't think to do any googling for similar issues. Sounds like it may just be a glitch/bug/undocumented 'feature' of Win 8 and IE10 that is remedied in Win8.1

I tried a 'long press' but that does not have the desired effect.

Don't lose any sleep over it.

Ah, I understand. Thank you for the feedback. I might have to change the menu on that size device to the mobile drop down.

Hi! You have so many great templates, but I think this one may be the one I like best now. Really like a more minimalist look. Great work!

Hope to use this one soon.

Hi Anne
I'm doing an 'SPH' and playing around with templates :wink:
Could you advise me how to remove NEW PRODUCTS from the handheld dropdown menu please? I won't be adding new products to my store and don't need/want the functionality.
Many thanks

Perfect, as always.
Thank you.

Me again Anne, sorry...
I have managed to somehow stop my defines main page text appearing while on a mobile. It is fine on my kindle in landscape (yet won't display in portrait), desktop is also fine.
What could I have altered? Any thoughts please?

Can you restore the backup? It is time consuming, but best to check the various screen sizes between each change that you make just in case you cause a problem in one of the sizes that you can't see in the desktop view.

Was hoping to backtrack to find where I went wrong. Would you expect it to be CSS related or in a php file?

I would think it is probably css related, but then again, I don't have a list of the files that you edited.

Hi, okay, I installed Carlisle Fresh but with a few hiccups. I kept getting this error msg when trying to access layout boxes controller in admin:

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

It finally worked only after I began installing the sql patches.

Also noticed that have to turn on use css buttons in Layout Controller to get the pretty buttons.

Only my superior skill and experience testing templates allowed me to get past my hiccups. Naturally, I had your instruction page open but only glanced at it. :wink:

Yes, the readme.html file does insturct you to turn on css buttons for this template ;)

Did you read the part in the readme file where it says which patches to not run if you alrady have one of our templates installed?

I've reloaded all the unaltered template files but still no luck on the issue of my homepage text. However when viewed on mobile device I can see the text display for a moment the disappear. The text also shows up in the source.
Any thoughts? Java perhaps?
