ZCA Bootstrap 4 Template [Support Thread]

[barco57]

Hmm... happens with template_default as well - it's not a bootstrap template issue.

TY - have created a new thread and will update that.

Curious why banners_html_text is not used during home page banner display. Are there issues with doing this? Any harm in adding an echo of this field if not empty to tpl_index_slider.php ?

I don't have time to investigate right now, but if you create an issue on the template's GitHub (https://github.com/lat9/ZCA-Bootstrap-Template) I'll be more likely to see it when I do have time!

NOTE: Future releases of the template will drop support for Zen Cart 1.5.8. Consider this a heads-up for a site upgrade if you're currently running on zc158.

• Initial install of the colors can result in missing colors.
• Add zen_add_filemtime usage and merge version-specific CSS files back into stylesheet.css.
• Use CSS variables for the Bootstrap Colors.
• Add a tool that removes the template's files and database settings.
• Supply 2nd parameter to nl2br so that HTML5 tags are generated.
• Using $tplSetting to access template-specific configuration settings.
• Using a 'soft setting' to control the presence of the products' listing sort-by selection.

The reason is primarily a content-shift issue. When the banner is an image, the images can each be sized to be the same height (or use IH's "force" method) while there's no means of forcing the text height (other than an unwanted inline style= HTML attribute).

Howdy,
I just updated to version 3.8.0 and the Admin page Tools>ZCA Bootstrap Colors is blank below "All changes are saved when you click the Save All button."

And I am getting this in the error log:
