Responsive Classic (built in to Zen Cart v1.5.5) [Support Thread]

[jpirie]

Hi,
Sorry for delay in responding.
I followed one of the Tutorials on the Zencart web pages.
My expectation would be that, if I wish to edit a part of the existing template, i.e. the responsive template, I would locate the fiel that I wish/need to edit, create a new folder in the same path as the original file with the name of my new template "custom" in the example I followed, edit the file and save it n my new folder. Then, my understanding is that this is an Overide page which will be used for the information I have changed after which all other information comes from the original template.
This hasn't been my expereince however and I find that, if I wish to use the Responsive Template I have to copy quite a lot of the original files from this template folder to my new template folder before it will work at all.
I think, eventually, I solved this particular blank page issue by copying ALL the info from the Responsive template folder to my new template folder and deleted the folders one at a time until the blank page re-appeared. I think it was the "common" folder that was required.
I suppose, at this point, that the instructions I followed were a little outdated but, it's also possible that I misread them.

Thanks for the response.

Onward to new problems now.

When you receive that whitescreen, there's a myDEBUG*.log file created in your store's /logs folder that identifies the details of the issue.
See: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?124-blank-page

I'm not sure what you're referencing when you say "I have followed the instructions for customising my own template to the letter." ... which instructions are those?

Hi Anne

I really like the new responsive template, thank you. I would like to add some a-hover to the categories and info menu on left side of pc version and am a little confused about which style sheet and what element I should start with. Can you point me in the right direction?
Site is at http://orders.leinbachs.com/
Thanks in advance

You may have a "different" setting for the column widths (left, right, or both) that doesn't match the ones preset in the template. See if your width(s) match the ones preset in yoursiteDotCom/includes/templates/responsive_classic/css/responsive.css.

Thank you, that did the trick.
My next problem (I take 'em one at a time), is with the product listing pages. The top columns are ok (model #, price, etc are listed horizontally) but the product listings are listed vertically. The model #, description and price are listed under the image instead of across in a row under the headings.

Thanks again!
Carol

That is the productDetailList box that appears in five different template files. Found in the yoursiteDOTcom/includes/templates/yourTemplate/templates/something_info_display.php files.
You'll probably find it in the file between "bof productDetailsList" and "eof productDetailsList."
Adjust away. That's the beauty of open source.

Thank you for your prompt response. I will do that

if I want to use MobiZenCart by ultimate_zc do I have to delete all responsive files in Responsive Classic before installing MobiZenCart?

cheers,

Don't do that - it's a separate template.

I just upgraded to V. 1.5.5. Here is a very dum question: what is the responsive_classic template for? Is it for mobile compatible? Do I need to change the folder name to the responsive_**** to match my self-set template name?

responsive_classic is a mobile-friendly template. You can use it if you wish.
Or you can use your own template as long as it's been upgraded to be compatible with v155.

Do I need to change the folder name to the responsive_**** to match my self-set template name?

You are welcome to make a copy of responsive_classic if you wish. Be mindful that there are several other places where override foldernames would need to be copied as well (such as in /includes/languages and subdirectories, and /includes/modules, etc)

The easiest method for retaining and modifying the responsive_classic is to use lat9s Clone a Template mod. Clone Responive_Classic to whatever name you want then, modify the new template whatever way you need. You will then have the Responsive_Classic as something to fall back on.
You might want to look at the link in my sig for a quick way to modify the template.
