ZCA Bootstrap 4 Template [Support Thread]

[swguy]

Fantastic news! Thank you.

I will get the documentation around #305 done asap.

In a new fresh installation of zc1.5.8a I want to install v3.6.3 of the ZCA Bootstrap Template and OPC v2.4.6.
Which order would be preferable: Bootstrap first and then OPC or the other way around?

TIA,

jpda

Probably OPC first, then Bootstrap. My reasoning is that the Bootstrap template has its own, modified version of various OPC templates, so doing OPC first helps to ensure that the Bootstrap version of those template files isn't overwritten.

Thanks Cindy for your quick answer, I will install in that order.

Question:
Installing Bootstrap 3.6.3
In the install files I see 2 folders:
ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.6.3/includes/languages/english/bootstrap
ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.6.3/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions

I would expect also ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.6.3/includes/languages/english/html_includes
containing /bootstrap/html_includes/bootstrap
to override the defines as in ZenCart v1.5.8a includes/languages/english/html_includes/responsive_classic/

Is that correct?

Is that correct?

I'm not sure how others have done it but I just created my own bootstrap folder in html_includes and have my own define_main_page.php file in there, or any other files I don't want overridden when updating.

so:
includes/languages/english/html_includes/bootstrap/

Is that correct?

Not sure how others have done it, but I created my own bootstrap folder inside html_includes that contains define_main_page.php (or any of those files). That way it doesn't get overridden when updating.

includes/languages/english/html_includes/bootstrap/

Thanks @Shifty_J, that's exactly what I did myself.
But I wanted to point out that IMHO it should be in the distribution of ZCA-Bootstrap-Template.

Is that correct?

The base bootstrap template provides no overrides to the html_includes sub-directory, so that directory is not included in the template's distribution. For your clone of the bootstrap template, you'll need to create /includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_BOOTSTRAP/ and copy/create any additional content needed.

[jpda]

Thank you Cindy, that's clear. I will change only my cloned version and keep the base version as distributed.
