Hi,

I have released a new version of the responsive zucando fashion. I was submitted to the plugin/addon but perhaps mods needed some days to accept it.

So, I'll post the download link here. When you install it and have any problems, please also submit your question here.

Download here

Great looking contribution!

Are you using the bootstrap framework?

Thanks,

Anne

Yes, I am.

I agree with Anne, it is a Great looking contribution!

Does this mean I have to download bootstrap in addition to the template?

[cvhainb]

No, it's very easy to install. You can download it and read the readme.txt.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news and I might even be way off but here is my 2 cents.

I do believe Zen Cart is licensed under GNU General Public License version 2.0 (GPLv2) and the Bootstrap code is licensed under Apache License v2.0 and that Apache License v2.0 is not compatible with GPL version 2, which exclude certain patent termination and indemnification provisions.

Unless Zen Cart has changed to be licensed under GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3). Not sure if they did and if they didn't, changing Zen Carts license from GPLv2 to GPLv3 would be a very simple change administratively/legally and a monumental task culturally. It's not something that's going to happen any time soon IMO unless they already did, although I would like to see it happen eventually for various reasons.

On the other hand:
Version 3.1 of the Bootstrap Code might be moving from the Apache 2 to the MIT license for the Bootstrap code only (not the docs).

Get Excited!

Actually you can remove the bootstrap if it's your problem :). I only use the bootstrap for label, input, select, form.

The main css of this template is stylesheet_layout.css and responsive.css, not bootstrap.css

Let me say what folks are being too polite to say then.. If you have included Bootstrap in your template package, it will be rejected due to the differences in the license of Bootstrap versus the Zen Cart licence.. If as you say your template doesn't REQUIRE Bootstrap, then remove it and resubmit your template..

BOOM!!!now the elephant in the room is gone..

I stand corrected on the rules of what is required to submit a template which requires Bootstrap.. From the great DrByte..

The current stable version of Bootstrap is presently licensed under terms that are incompatible with GPLv2, OSCommerce's license, which is the license Zen Cart is required to use since it came from code originally copyrighted by OSCommerce.

To clarify, you cannot distribute Bootstrap under GPLv2, because Bootstrap is licensed under a less restrictive license and only presently compatible with GPLv3, not GPLv2.
So, you cannot include Bootstrap files in anything you release under GPLv2, which is what you must use with Zen Cart plugins.
Thus, if you do prepare a Bootstrap theme, you will need to NOT include any Bootstrap files in that theme. You would need to instruct your users to obtain Bootstrap on their own, and perhaps tell them where to put the files to make it work for them.

However, if you can incorporate the media queries which include "label, input, select, form" into your responsive.css, that probably is the better long term plan anyway.. It certainly would eliminate all the MANY support questions you WILL get surrounding downloading and installing Bootstrap..

Simply applying the CSS Attribute Selectors to the main CSS file will suffice.

However, with or without Bootstrap, your template is fluid - not responsive. Your template only responds (changes layouts) at breakpoints (media query) set min, max widths.

Using the stock ZC HTML tables, shrinking and expanding only happens in between those breakpoints if the content within the HTML tables allow it to do so.

This is not a bad thing, and looking at your code you have designed a very nice, easy and adaptable fluid template for Zen Cart (the first of it's kind released actually) if the Bootstrap code is removed.

Again, MO and awesome job on the layout, consistency in design and changing of content based on breakpoints.
