Westminster New

Suggestion:

As if you don't already have a full plate. It's easy for me to say but that doesn't mean that it is easy to implement.

Have a button/link/flexible footer item, etc for "Desktop View" so that customers who have issues with the mobile menus can navigate using the desktop rendition instead of the tablet or mobile menu.

Maybe a FA icon in the mobile menu to represent "Desktop view"

But, if that is present, then there also needs to be a reciprocal link to go back to the mobile menu for those who make an "OOPS tap"

That is a great idea and I already have this in my newest template (still in development) thanks to rbarbour's menu ;) I will see if I can get this added before I submit an update.

Thanks,

Anne

Download the diy responsive template which has the switches and files in that template. Just take the relevant switches and put them in the footer or elsewhere. But maybe I am not seeing what you want, but putting a switch to desktop view would NOT switch out the menu. The menu appears on screen size which would negate switching to desktop for that purpose. Of course this assumes you have not changed the calls for when the menu appears and dissapears. But further if you wanted the desktop menu that goes horizontal, it would not make life easier for your customers as the hover effect would not make it work properly.

You can test this out without switches right now by using the base browser and clicking the setting "request desktop site". This will act the same way as the switch which would allow you to test the site out if its what you want.

I've been looking around for hints/tricks to place EZ pages TOC above the text on EZ pages instead of in a box to the right.

The TOC positioned to the right plays havoc as the screen width shrinks horizontally. Page text formatting is fine as the page width shrinks.

The only work-around that I've come up with is to significantly shorten the TOC labels. OR have the labels 'wrap' if they extend outside the line of the TOC box.

Ideas?

I just submitted an update to the package. Bug fixes include:

* fixed the tablet view/double slide show error
* frank18's fix for the slide show captions
* updated the auto installer so the package is fully compatible with version 1.5.3

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you Anne, downloaded the approved update.

There's a small hiccup in the new \common\tpl_header_tablet.php file (at least on my Android tablets)

Moving the login, cart & checkout icons to the header has moved the currency down into a large white area.

This is on an Android tablet, portrait mode, 800px wide if it makes any difference. Chrome, FireFox & native Samsung browsers. It does not look that way in the FireFox WebDeveloper::ResponsiveDesignView when set to 800px wide.

FYI: The revised positioning of the search box causes the site tagline to need to be condensed to fit within the allowed space. That actually had a positive effect in forcing me to keep things condensed for smaller screen sizes.

You mentioned in another thread something about tables incorporated into product descriptions. I can attest to the fact that does make for some knarly alignments.

Hi Anne,

We're in testing mode this week and anticipate going live with Winchester_New in zen v1.5.3 early next week.

http://chainweavers(DOT)info/ZEN153

Changing color scheme is the most significant difference. From a few customer comments regarding finding buttons, we have a pretty bright green to help guide them to the buttons. There are still a few color tweaks that I haven't found or gotten around to.

The database will be wiped clean before going live, so anyone is free to place orders. We guarantee that nothing will be shipped.

I did find a couple of 404 errors in template links that return to the host 404 error page instead of the zencart 404 error but have turned those pages off. If you don't already have them in a list, I'll post them once I have everything together. The errors are present in your demos so it's not something that I've done.

We are debating on posting a note in the homepage banner that customers using Android w/Chrome browser and customers using Windows tablets will have to find an alternative browser or device.

Ideas??

I am not sure what I was doing at that particular time, so I cannot recreate the issue. I have changed the Admin/Configuration/WestminsterNew EZ pages in header menu setup from true to false a few times and the error doesn't get triggered on those occasions.

Was that file modified at all? Posting the file might help.

[RixStix]

It is a file included with the template. I'm pretty sure Anne has a copy.
