Responsive Classic (built in to Zen Cart v1.5.5) [Support Thread]

[mcqueeneycoins]

Thanks everyone for the input. Sounds like this may be a little harder than I was envisioning. I have seen it done on other (non zen-cart) sites, so figured it would be a fairly straightforward code change, but guess not! I'll keep playing with the template and see if I can come up with a satisfactory solution. I agree desktop users are not looking for a mobile website version, but do think there are times when there is a need to make a window smaller and just want the "experience" to be seamless as much as possible. In other words, when the browser window is the size of a mobile device, have it look/act like the mobile website, and when it's a normal size, act like the desktop site. Thanks again, and please continue sharing any tips/tricks/opinions I can/should consider.

The best way to "trick" mobiledetect is to tell your browser to simulate mobile. Or if it doesn't have that option (most do), you could try telling it to fake its UserAgent to that of a mobile device.

Or, use a more standards-based template like the Bootstrap 4 template, which naturally adapts to resized windows regardless of what device is in use.

Echoing DrByte's response, that template (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2191) will provide the functionality that you're looking for.

I added a couple of small images to tpl_header around line 43 under "navMainWrapper" here

<div id="navMainWrapper" class="group onerow-fluid">

They show up fine in desktop view but not in mobile or tablet.

I tried adding an IF statement like below to tpl_header and adding the images under that but just crashed my test site.

if ( $detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() || $_SESSION['layoutType'] == 'mobile' ) {

Is there an easy way to achieve my aim of showing on mobile and tablet?

The navMainWrapper is shut off in mobile devices with the responsive#####.css style sheets. You can either her turn them (or portions) back on in the stylesheets or place the imag s outside the wrapper

I could fix my problem using CSS, thank you for your help.

First THANK YOU for the lovely responsive_classic template, it's awesome especially the mobile version :)
I have been trying to do a few things with it, I'm not that knowledgeable with php or css, but can follow instructions and even attempt a few things myself on occasions :)

Ok, what I want to do it put a header on the VERY TOP of the website to show up all the time...Something that says:
"Standard Flat Rate Shipping $9.95 | Shipping Australia Wide" with a link to my shipping link.

I have looked everywhere to no avail, I found a post (can't find that post again) suggested by DrByte I think to use the public notice of a website maintenance, which helped but the problem is it shows the ERROR image and adjusting the text and the background colour and size hasn't been easy, no luck. (All I could do was center the text, plus it centered the text on all my website error messages so editing this is probably not good as it will edit all the warning errors at once.)
Can you please advise if there is a better way to achieve the same result? I'm sure there is somewhere.

You could do that with a header-based banner (via the admin's Banner Manager). Although for a different reason, see this GitHub posting (https://github.com/lat9/ZCA-Bootstra...ment-874775344) for additional information.

Thank you for your reply Cindy.

To be honest, I was looking at putting that message either ABOVE of the HOME | LOG IN Header or in the MIDDLE of the HOME | LOG IN Header.

The Github suggestion seems to show the Text under the tagline which is in the logo area, which isn't really what I want.
(p.s I tried it anyway by adding a new banner but it didn't show up anyway, but no matter as it's not really it.)

I hope there is another method to do it like what I am after?!

Thank you once again.

https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/admin...anner_manager/ for banners.

Thank you for sending me the banner link, I read that, it doesn't display a banner on top.
Again, not really much use for me as I want a banner or header to show on TOP on the header home-login top.
