Westminster New

[SPH]

Noticed this nice new template a few days ago when implementing Winchester.

Close call but I'd PROBABLY go with my current Winchester. But there are a couple of things I do like better with this new Westminster:

1. I like how the collapsable categories plugin (slimmenu something or other?) has a black highlight around the arrows; probably makes for better customer navigation.

2. I like how this template appears to be wider in desktop view.

Questions:

1. Would it be too difficult to do above on Winchester...especially wider in desktop?

2. How much of a conflict (if any) would there be in loading both templates onto the site? Would either work with just a click changing templates in admin?

Thanks.

Out of the two I've decided to go with this template, the home page slider better suits my needs.

I've noticed in the readme for both templates that - includes/init_includes/config.display_mode.php - is stated to be in the package, although it's not.

No doubt a typo.

Thank you for providing this template Anne, I'm implementing it in a heavily modded and customised site, it'll be a challenge but is seriously needed as 40% of this sites' traffic is mobile/tablet based, as no doubt is the case of most sites these days.

I am happy that you like the template ;)

The file is in files/includes/init_includes/init_display_mode.php in the zip file that I have uploaded.

Yes, I thought that was the case.

Slight alignment issue. I don't think size matters but this was a 7" touch device. I will try using a real phone later.

I stopped testing using Android tablets due to the menu issue.

FWIW: 11% of our site traffic stats is from Android devices.

I just corrected the php mobile detect script on the demo. Give it another try and let me know if it looks different.



Thanks,

Here it is. Yes, there is some difference. Screengrab from phone.

The 7" has now decided to be difficult with screengrabs.

Installed template. Core file overwrites appear to be identical. Switching between Westminster and Winchester is a quick.

My eyes like Westminster better than Winchester. Could be color scheme but blue is not a color that I normally gravitate to.
I like that login, cart & checkout are better defined with text and images by default.
I like currency change visible by default.
My eyes like fade-in over sliding homepage.

Did you change the way Custom Left Slideout works? Something seems different on the good side.

Problem on both the demo and my sandbox:

Tap or click CATEGORIES button without using the expanded menu.

Next screen is

Not Found The requested URL /' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . ' was not found on this server.
 Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thanks for the catch!

I forgot to wrap the constant in the php tags. You can replace line 23 of the includes/templates/westminster_new/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php with this:

 <li class="test"><a href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>" class="mshop"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES; ?></a>

I'll add this to the list for an update ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Yes, I changed the slide out to a "on click" instead of the "on hover" so that it would work on tablets and mobile devices ;)
