Support Thread - Responsive Color Changes for 155

[dbltoe]

I read your brief thoroughly before making any changes to the file. And no, I am not a skimmer.

If that were really true, I would not have had to continuously beg you for information that the Posting Tips tell you will aid someone in helping you.

Make your assumptions as you will, but NEVER assume the person helping doesn't need the information they are requesting.

You asked for a link to my site which was ludicrous. You were relieved when I gave you the link to some other site. Even with that link, you still couldnt point me to the last two lines of the color file. The real link to my website was MichoacanExpress.com, which just goes to prove my point. YOU DIDNT NEED A LINK TO MY WEBSITE.

I explicitly told you what the problem was...you didnt need to see the website. You just babbled on and on about stuff that was totally irrelevant to the problem. Your attempt to provide a solution was basically a self defense strategy to preserve your mod.....if thats what you want to call it. I told you already that your work was appreciated, but that wasnt enough, you had to shoot the messenger too.

In retrospect...your mod was of little to no use. You suggest searching the entire color file for a certain color. Great, so that comes up with 50 results, all of which have to be investigated as somehow effecting the colors mods that I was chasing. You make it sound as though one can do a search and find one result. Not the case by a long shot. Grouping all of the colors together is a nightmare because your mod ASSUMES that some want to change all instances of a particular color in one fell swoop. That is not what anyone would want to do. Even if someone was going to do that, a simple find and replace would have accomplished the same thing without having a sorted list of colors. If this was truly a mod then an admin GUI would pop up and ask us to choose color for particular parts of the webpage. Again, no one is questioning your efforts for the greater good. But I doubt that many people are actually finding it useful enough to actually implement.

Update: Well a little bit of google and I learned that firefox has a Responsive option in TOOLS. You will have to reload it twice to see your site as a mobile. Once there, you can inspect all elements exactly like you do with desktop. I think many people thought they were stuck with resizing the window which wasnt of any use at all. Now you can see the entire mobile version and troubleshoot it. This is a very useful tool.

Yap... been there for some time, called Responsive Design Mode Allows one to design and view in mobiles based on Android, IOS, Windoze, Tablets, and TV's.. Also to simulate load speeds, touch and such. Even design your own phone if you want to code some. Very useful... I use it quite often..

With Firefox on android Web Developer is an addon, but not very useful..

Many of us use or created tools or have FF addons, that are not widely used or known... which is why links are a quicker way of getting answers.

NOTICE:

Got tired of so many stylesheet changes involved in the original mod and just submitted version 2.0.0 of Responsive_Classic Color Changes. This change will work with both 1.5.5x and 1.5.6x sites and only involves adding two stylesheets and deleting/renaming one.

This version keeps stylesheet_colors_split.css to replace the stylesheet_colors.css and adds stylesheet_zcustom.css. The stylesheet_zcustom.css contains color changes to the mobile menu that would normally be in jquery.mmenu.all.css. That's the one that controls the colors for the mobile menu. Other color changes that would have been in some of the removed stylesheets are also included in stylesheet_zcustommmmm.css.

Stylesheet_zcustom.css is also the last stylesheet to load which means you can place site css changes/deletions/additions in this file. They will be performed and, when needed for repair/upgrade, they'll all be in one place in one file.

I'll post when the new version is available in the Plugins section. Meanwhile, a demo and the files are available at the links in my sig. Install/upgrade instructions are available in the zip file.

The new version with two stylesheets is available for download. There is a minor confusion in the installation that is corrected in version 2.0.1 I decided to place the two stylesheets in their own folder to separate what needs to go on a site from the other obligatory files.

2.0.1 has been submitted for download and is available at netzencommerce.com.

BUG FOUND IN RESPONSIVE CLASSIC:

In our further testing of the latest version of the Color Change Mod, we found an error in the existing files of the responsive_classic.

In line 233 of includes/templates/responsive_classic/css/responsive_mobile.css, the following needs to be changed from

#menu-search input[type=text]{vertical-align:top;display:inline-block;border:0;width:48% !important;height:32px;margin:0;font-size:0.9em;-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box;}

to

#menu-search input[type=text]{vertical-align:top;display:inline-block;border:0;width:58% !important;height:32px;margin:0;font-size:0.9em;-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box;}

This allows the customer to see all of the text in the input.

FWIW: ad blocker plus will interfere with responsive display when using developer tools. At least it did for me in firefox. I couldnt figure out why the responsive images was missing several of the key parts of the website. Then I was struck with the thought of turning off ABP. Once I did that, the expected responsive version appeared perfectly.

First of all, can you point us to the "ad blocker plus" mod?
Second, if it has a problem, why are you posting it in this thread?

ABP is a addon in firefox. If its active, FF developer tools will not function properly. I discovered this myself while trying to use developer tools.

It's just a "for what its worth" posting. FF developer tools are often cited as a method to troubleshoot ZC problems. There may be some that are trying to use it with ABP active and not having luck getting the tools to work properly. It was just by chance that the thought occurred to me that ABP might be interfering.

As to your question about why post it here. It because, as a good boy scout forum user, I searched a string for information that led me to this thread. I thought it might be relevant to the thread despite the age of the thread.
