Responsive Sheffield Blue v1.0

[Debbie2014]

I am happy that you figured it out. It would be great if you posted your solution so that if others have the same question the can find the answer ;)

Thanks,

Anne

To fix my problem I went in to the css file in the template changed this line from display {display: inline;}
to the below so nothing shows in the line above the navigation at the top
#navCatTabs ul li {display: none;}

Hope this helps.

I have 2 questions that I can't seem to figure out .
First. I would like to add another slide to the slide show so that there are 6. I have added the picture to the banner folder in the images and have added the info to the banners on the site yet can't get it to show. The 6th slide is in the group as the others are rsbslide1 2 3 4 5 as the others the 6th is rsbslide6 and is linked to the picture .. in the template settings there are only 5 ( under the file menu and Responsive Sheffield menu)
Second I would like to take off the drop down Contact us or Put a captcha on the short contact us . Is this possible ?
When I click on the contact us link it goes to the page as it's suppose to and has the captcha yet on the short version when hovering over the link there is no captcha .. I would like to fix this so we don't get so many bots trying to send ads

Thank you for any help you can give on both of these.

If not mistaken and picaflur-azur will correct me if I'm wrong, the first item is addressed in the readme file(s).

The second, there are a couple of things that can be done. Someone posted a while back in this thread a double method of verification to try to stop the bots that did not use a captcha. First method used a honeypot the second transfered the customer to a newly filled out contact us page and something special was on that page as well. I can't remember.

Regarding the use of a captcha on the drop down, there would need to be some recoding of the contact us page to mirror what is on the standard contact us page (observers and possibly add the honeypot for good measure). While the template is compatible with several versions of ZC, it is missing some minor attributes related to the latest ZC. But that is still relatively easy to amend.

The other thing about the captcha is that the size of it maay not be desireable and reducing the size ffects users ability to properly complete it.

To add another slide to this template you need to to add another banner group. Or you can just had code the additional code to the includes/templates/responsive_sheffield_blue/common/tpl_home_slider.php file:

<a href="http://your link here" target="_blank"><img src="your image here" alt="your alt here" title="your title here" width="980" height="250" /></a>

Adding the slide this way is easier than adding a new banner group, but you will not be able to edit the banner via the banner manager.

If you do a forum search for your second question you will find a few different threads with various methods posted for dealing with the header contact us form.

Thanks,

Just a quick question looking at this template for the first time.

Re "three column display" - will there be any problem or special work required to use this with left and right columns always turned off (i.e. Column Right / Left Status Global = 0) ?

Cheers

No, the template can be used as a one, two, or three column layout.

I am not seeing the bottom blue bar that is located under the footer links. It does show for me in chrome and firefox but is not visable in Internet Explorer 8. I thought I might have messed something up however I checked the sheffield blue live demo and see the same issue. I realize no rounded corners on Internet Explorer 8 but this issue really messes up the look. Anyone run into this issue? Any solutions? I know IE 8 right? BUT it is still 2.7 % of all browsers used in the US which is still substantial. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Can subcategory images be shown in mobile mode in the same way as in desktop mode?

The following example refers:
On the demo site, minimise the page to mobile size. There are three steps required in order to see any images, and level 1, 2, or 3 sub category images are not seen directly. For example:
1. Click the menu bars which expand to show headings: Shopping Cart, Log In, Shop, Quick Links, .. etc.
2. Click Shop - which drops down to show more headings: Hardware, Software . . etc
3. Click Hardware - which drops to show more headings: CDROM Drives, Graphics Cards, .. etc
4. Click Graphics Card - which finally shows a product image.
So it takes 4 mouse clicks to see an image.

This sequence is different from steps 1 - 4 in desktop size, where pull down and click Shop / Hardware produces all the Hardware category images immediately.

Any input please?

Yes, you need to click through to the product listing pages to see the products listed. You can minimize clicks by having more organized categories/sub categories with less sub sub categories. If you have a lot of 3rd, 4th, 5th level subs then you can implement a different menu for the mobile side.

Thanks for the feedback Anne.
My new site has only 2 category-levels just like your demo site, with 1. categories (Hardware), 2. sub categories (Graphics Cards) and products. But even then there are still 4 clicks before seeing an image. (a customer must be quite persevering in order to get to even a 3rd or 4th level sub).

Do you not think the 4-click process on your demo site is a little too much for many folk and can you please give me a pointer towards implementing the different menu for the mobile side?

Thanks
