Dover Fine Responsive Template

[rbarbour]

I dont understand this because the slim menu does not function on any of my Android tablets & I am not the only one.

Understood, I did say "with some minor code changes". Maybe it only works on my androids!

It doesn't make sense to claim a responsive template that is functional for all devices when it is responsive but menu is not functional.

It is open source and a new menu could be easily implemented.

I shouldn't have to tutor customers to tap the arrow instead of the button to make things work. And then, if their desired selection is offscreen, they cannot make a selection because the menu will collapse.

I believe I also fixed this issue with "some minor code changes". May be wrong though.

Anne Is trying. Things improve, but still are not functional.

The code, the templates and even plugins are improving and have yet to see FREE or COMMERCIAL Responsive templates for ZC that are even close to serving up perfectly on all devices. I am sure Anne is open to any suggestions to menus that you come across that work on all devices.

Anne,

The slimMenu is actually perfect for RWD because it will always convert to a toggle menu based on the devices viewport NOT the UA which means it allows the toggle menu to function while in isNonResponsive mode for mobile and tablet devices.

If one wanted to show the drop-down in the isNonResponsive mode for mobile and tablet devices, that also works correctly. I have this running on a test site wrapped in the php-mobile-detect code to keep the menu from shrinking in isNonResponsive mode and the menu still functions correctly as a drop-down menu with the already built in onclick function to override the hover function.

I see no distortions on any of my droid phones or tablets so I can't help there, the slimMenu does work on my droid devices perfectly with some minor code changes, I also have the menu packages ready for you. I will PM those to you as well by weeks end, sorry, been extremely busy.

Thank you for the explanation It is much clearer to me now.

I appreciate your menu code and will incorporate it into new responsive template packages and updates.

I would love to test out your 3.0 code! The DIY Responsive Template Default just keeps getting better and better



Thanks,

Anne

Dover_fine template having a hard time figuring out how to add a 200x 220 logo. Have installed logo correctly as per instructions and changed size in header. Still not showing up. For this size Logo badge is there any other changes that need to take place?

Make sure that your logo is uploaded to your template images folder and that the name of your logo matches the name in includes/languages/dover_fine/header.php. Instructions on how to add your logo are in the readme.html file included in the template package.

Thanks,

Anne

Anne- Thanks for the reply. I did go into that includes/languages/English/dover. header.php

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', '');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '220px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '200px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'urbanlogo.png');

I am getting no logo at all, not even stock. I was thinking maybe it was too high.

Anne,

Thanks for getting back to me. I didn't play with the code, just used the banner manager to alter the URL and text presented.

Where in the code would you suggest I start looking to see if I can figure out what is going on? I really like this template.

I also noticed the same behavior on someone else's zencart store that was using this template. Again, it only happened on my phone, not her actually site.

Thanks!

Anne, Firstly thank for a REALLY GREAT template, I have set it up in my testing site and am in the final stages before swinging our current site over to Dover_Fine.

The benefits of Dover_fine are phenomenal !

Problem I have is that I really need to put text into my home page that slides with the images (SEO). Page three of this threat talks about " add the content in a div below the slide show " In which php should this go ? I have looked at the /admin/ . . .1_0.php and the files in the catalog dove_fine template, nothing I try has got the text to slide.

Currently on the operational site have have image and text sliding nicely with "Acoin slider " but I perceive that the slider you using is much more user friendly.

Also I cannot figure out how to use the " Custom Tab ", If you could shed some light here to it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Andy

Do you need to add more text to the slide show images than the title will allow?

There are instructions for using the custom tab in the readme.html file ;)

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

Thanks For coming back to me and helping..

For decent SEO it said you need about 100 to 150 words, the text at the moment is great (more than great) for main category titles but yes I need more, much more text . . .

The "Custom Tab" is covered in the readme.html but I have poured over this trying to get it to show and cannot. It does not reflect in the "Layout Boxes Controller " but does show in the "Banner Manager" I thought after a while that it is due to the fact that "Custom Tab" is not a single string as in "Custom_Tab" but this is above my fire place (Competence). I have even tried activating this in the "Layout Settings " If I can get it to show then I can Work out how to use it . . .

The easiest way to add text would be to use the define_main_page.php. If you add your text, then post a link to your site I can help you with the css to get it to show on the main page.

The custom tab can be customized in the admin-tools--banner manager

Thanks,

Anne
