Hi Anne - All the best for the New Year! - thanks for all your previous assistance.

When anyone accesses my site the following script runs - I didn't even realise this occurred until over Xmas when the GSGD site must have been taking a hit and I got to see this access to the GSGD site address sitting there on the loading bar. I emailed GSGD about the reason that the script needs to run - but so far no reply.
Can this script be disabled without causuing problems with the slider operation ?

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery/easing/jquery.easing.1.3.js"
type="text/javascript" ></script>

These are jquery libraries that are being called remotely by the template so as to eliminate the need to store the libraries on your server. It is very common practice and best practice when using large jquey libraries.

Thanks,

Hi Anne -

As you are probably aware their has been a great deal of news in the press about the problem with PC's having Java script enabled in the browser.

"This vulnerability is being attacked in the wild, and is reported to be incorporated into exploit kits," the department's Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) said in a notice on its website. "We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem."
The recommended solution was to disable Java. Three computer security experts also said computer users should disable those Java modules to protect themselves from attack."

Of course following the "experts" lead and disabling Java in browsers means that the Jquery sliding display no longer appears to users browsers.
If I decided to replace the Jquery slider so that a large blank area is not displayed in the header area, with a standard static display item, can you give me a pointer to how to achieve this.

Thanks for your great work

Regards

A large majority of users have javascript enabled. The only stat I was able to find was around 2% disabled:

But, if you want to replace the slide show with a static image, you can remove the call for the slide show in the includes/templates/avonlee_contempo/common/tpl_main_page.php file and just insert a large image there, or add your image to the define_main_page.php file and it will show in in between the left and right hand columns.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne -

I would like to re-locate the "Go to Checkout " button to below the "Estimate Shipping Costs" section of the Shopping Cart. Can you please advise as to where I can start working on this.

Do a developers toolkit search to find out which files to edit. You can find a tutorial in the FAQ's section expaining how to use the developers toolkit.

Hi,

This may be a simple one, but having a few problems finding the solution. I have added a best sellers banner on my site http://www.thewelliestore.co.uk/ and adjusted the width of the sidebox and the column on the right to accomodate the size of the images and text. This looks fine on the homepage, yet at product level the sidebar reverts to original size.

Do you have any idea of how to fix this issue?

Many Thanks,

Mark
