I think posts 96 and 97 above will answer your question.

Hello All,

I have read through the thread and I must confess that it's a bit advanced for my newby mind. Maybe I missed it in all the tech talk but is there some place that explains how the responsive template included in v1.5.5a should be implemented?

I have not used a responsive template before so I am feeling my way along and am seeking some insight on the basics of these type templates. When I do a fresh install of 1.5.5a is the responsive (mobile friendly) part automatically activated or do I need to tweak something to make it work?

Thanks for any pointers or links that might help me spin up to speed on responsive components of this version.

Which template Zen Cart uses is controlled in the admin back end under Tools. You might want to take a look at https://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index....late_Selection and some of the other articles in the Wiki or FAQs

Go to admin-tools-template selection, and choose responsive classic.

Thanks for the link.....I think part of my problem is that I don't know exactly what to look for....I've found that if you don't and you just rummage through the wiki and FAQs blindly you can burn a lot of time and still not find what you're looking for... I was just hoping someone might be able to point me to a shortcut....

Thanks for the response SW.

I might not understand the basics of these responsive templates....

So if I "choose responsive classic".....does that change the webpage that a normal PC would see if they came to the site? Wouldn't want to sacrifice the site 'look' just to accommodate a lesser number of smart phones...

a) Yes it changes the look for all devices
b) Whether it's a sacrifice or not is in the eye of the beholder. :)

Ahhh....IC. Well I suppose I could always switch back...

I wonder if there's a comparison of how the 2 different looks would appear..... Just curious before I start all this what the outcome will look like....

That "lesser number" is at 5 Billion with a B worldwide and climbing.

Heh-heh..... Well you'd have to see my current site....it's a little graphics intensive....so I was thinking of that older style.... I'm starting to realize that it will have to change to keep up with current trends.... I don't use my phone to shop so I guess that also influenced my thoughts. Thanks for the wake up call.....
