Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Oops. I think that was a silly question because it looks like the older versions don't have an admin tab.

Please note that this is not a complaint nor a request for help, I just thought you might like to know so that if you are inclined you can maybe have GAM re-test, for your benefit given that it was something you had on your to do list.

Most of the code implemented in the altered files of tabbed home page modules was done and tested by me and work perfectly if merged or copied correctly.

What you are asking is very doable, I have done it. If I can find my notes I will post in the appropriate threads.

Anne - an update for your information - Editable Home Page Centerboxes does not work with your template even with the modified file by GAM, includes/templates/abbington_mega/templates/tpl_index_categories.php, whether merged with includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php from the EHPCB plugin or not - I have tried every merged / unmerged combination without success of all common files, in fact includes/templates/abbington_mega/templates/tpl_index_default.php gives a better result than when merged with the file of the same name in the EHPCB plugin.

This is just not true. Any stable module will work if installed properly. You need to merge the appropriate files.

Thanks,

Re: Blank "Configuration>Abbington Mega" page in admin

Tried all sorts of things, including reinstall, but still no config/abb mega page in admin.

Any ideas, anyone? Is that page critical to using Abbington Mega?

Would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks.

Yes, the newest version of the template does need this page installed to customize the mega menu, slide show, etc.

Look in your database at the configuration_group table and find the id for the template package. Then match this to the id in the admin_pages table.

Thanks,

Anne

Joebones - I don't think it is important at all - I have a number of sites using this template and they do not have configuration tab in Admin for the template. To my knowledge it doesn't need it.

cheers,
Mike

You are wrong about this. The latest version of the template does need it.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you, Anne.

Yes ... I tried that (post #829) on 20 OCT 13, as you suggested.

Once I matched the numbers, it titled the blank page "Abbington Mega", but nothing more.

Thank you for the awesome template! I have one question, I would like to add a plain text message underneath the footer box that displays on every page, is this possible?

I am happy that you like it :) You can add your text to the includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_footer.php
