Westminster New

Did you follow the installation instructions? They are a bit different than the pre 1.5.6x instructions. I suspect the errors are because you are not following the installation instructions.

Most importantly, after uploading the files, you need to log into your zen cart admin, or just click on the admin home link, and then install the flexible footer menu in admin--tools--flexible footer menu install. Then you will select the template and reset the sideboxes in the layoutboxes controller.

Thanks,

Anne

I'm trying to install this and it's not going well. I did a clean install of Zencart 1.6b. That is working
I uploaded the westminster files as directed. I then installed the flexible footer. After changing the template to westminster I received the following error "WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields."
I'm getting the same message when trying to log back into the admin section but it looks ok on the website end.
I checked and all the pages are in the correct directories.
Thanks for your help

If you post the error log from the logs folder I can look

Thanks,

Probably not a problem with the template. More than likely, there's a bad connection to the database on the admin side. Make sure your settings in YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php are correct.

Also, when you get an error, there should be a file in the logs folder for that error. You can use the # to display that file for us to better help.

Yes, I agree 100% :)

Thanks,

Anne

Try running these in admin--tools--sql patches:

ALTER TABLE layout_boxes DROP COLUMN show_box_min_width;
ALTER TABLE layout_boxes DROP COLUMN layout_box_status_mobile;
ALTER TABLE layout_boxes DROP COLUMN layout_box_status_tablet;

Thanks,

Hi Anne, My apologies for not coming back to you sooner,
I don't know how to answer you, before dropping in the template the sql patches give an error of not found.- Ok to me that made sense, . . . but once the template is in position the layout_controller.php becomes not happy and errors the admin.
I specifically could not get anywhere near the Layout box controller. Even trying in phpmyadmin I could not run the patch without error's , but I had to repair the tables as phpmyadmin was reporting an error.
I put back the original system layout_controller.php the I could get the Westminister new to install, after doing the Layout box reset I could get Westminster new layout_controller.php to run
You will note that I am not indicating that the patched installed as I did not clearly see an install, maybe it was fixed when I did the database repair ?
As I said I am not sure. I will try on my other machine tonight to try give a clearer answer

Wow! That is really confusing :) It sounds like maybe there was a problem with the database that was not template related since you had to run the database repair.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,
I did an installation on an old Ubuntu 14 ( that I am using for "asterisk" )

However I used the latest Zencart 1.5.5.c

I still got the same problems, I had to replace " layout_controller.php " with the zencart original then I could do the template installation without a problem.
I kept on resetting the Layout boxes and then finally I did the Westminster New template installation
It installed Ok and the then I did the footer and layout for the Westminster New.
After the template was running I could put back the Westminster New " layout_controller.php " and the site seems to run ok
Oh . . . and I repeated again the Layout Controller reset

Thanks for your time and template Anne, as always it is most appreciated.

As an FYI. I started to install this template (ZC version 1.56c clean install ) and as soon as I switched templates in the admin file I got an error message and couldn't get back. I reinstalled Westminster, file by file to see where the issue was. The file that was causing the problem is in admin/includes/autoloaders/config.westminster.new.php. I removed that file and it seems to be working (so far). It looks ok on the computer but I haven't checked other devices. I just wanted to let you know that file was an issue for me. Is it absolutely essential? Any reason why it was an issue?
Thanks
Carol
