Westminster New

[vasilt]

The Details tab now shows the manufacturer. To make it product specific you need a new field in the product description table and the user interface to enter data when entering new products. Sounds like an overkill for me :)

I'm running Zen Cart 1.5.5e. I'm hosted with TMDHosting, I installed Westminster New (as per instructions) on March 8, 2017. It worked. We smiled and logged out for the night. Tried to log onto my site on March 9, 2017, but I couldn't. I uninstalled Zen Cart and installed another fresh copy and then installed the template again and the same thing happened. Now every time I try to reinstall the Westminster Template my site crashes. Has anybody had a similar problem when trying to install the template to Zen 1.5.5e? I've tried testing on my other servers and the same thing happened too.

I wrote my host and they said I had an internal error:


[09-Mar-2017 09:38:36 UTC] PHP Notice: Constant PASSWORD_BCRYPT already defined in /home/XXXXXXXX/public_html/zen/update_pass.php on line 10

Looks like you've been hacked; someone's tampered with the files on your site. There's no such "update_pass.php" file in Zen Cart.

Is there a way to edit the Details Tab in each product.

Is there a way to edit the Details Tab in each product.

I would like to do that also. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I can make a custom tab but that would be Global.

It appears that the "details" tab is just a subsection of the usual details that can already be configured in the Admin for each product.
In a template that doesn't have those "tabs", that information is shown below the main description. The "tabs" are just some javascript firing on some HTML <div> tags wrapped around the sections that would otherwise display vertically.
So ... my point is: you already control all that content from the Admin.

Now, if you want to add "more" content, then you have various options ... all involving custom coding, or merging other plugins, to create additional fields and additional admin screens to store the additional data that you desire to show.
In practice, I often see most storeowners putting the essential data into the main product description, instead of adding unnecessary extra fields. It requires a re-thinking to put what's actually relevant to the buyer as the first content seen, and then accessory data later. It's part of the process of optimizing the data for search engines too. Usually no extra fields required ... unless your industry has some very specific reason for it, in which case, customizing for your industry makes sense (see available plugins which you can manually merge into your already-custom template ... which may require understanding some PHP code).

Anne I have the same question, I Love the template; it really updated a tired old site. Thank you.
However I changed the columns no luck. I looked at the CSS, i'm not experienced enough to alter that without breaking something. my site is Epic Greeting Cards Any suggestions?

Thanks
Thom

I have attached A screen shot.

I have a solution to this! You need to go into your PhPmyadmin. Find your ZenCart Database then look for the flexible_Footer_Menu table. scroll down till you find the column with your html text then select that one to edit. You can go ahead and put the correct html code in there. It got stripped when you use zencart admin footer plugin. I promise it won't strip it in phpmyadmin. I had the same problem and thought of trying this method and it worked for me =). Good luck.

Better solution is probably: Update sanitizer

Thanks for the reply. I will just leave the "details" tab alone and add to the description tab.

One other thing that I cannot get to work is adding a 4th banner to the 3 that comes with this template. I shrunk the image size down to fit a 4th in the style sheet and added a 4th banner in the banner manager and edited the main page in the defines pages.
What else am I missing. my site http://www dot maynardstackle dot com/zencart155e/zencart155e/
Appreciate any help.

Looks like the answers are all in that thread... Why are you posting your question in this thread, when you know the thread that deals with the issue? (Just curious - not criticism).

I can't seem to get Ajeh's corrections found on more specifically in the post:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....47#post1265047

...to work w/ Westminster New because it doesn't seem that /includes/templates/*westminster_new*/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php is used for the top nav menu?

I'm somewhat guessing but it doesn't seem to break if I rename that file.

Basically I just want categories to "automatically hide" if they don't have products in them.

My best guess is that
includes/templates/*westminster_new*/common/tpl_header.php

would have to be modified or for...
includes/templates/*westminster_new*/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php

I'm really not sure though, I'm a novice programmer, I just don't think the categories drop down menu is loading from a "sidebox" but I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answered my own question... includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php

        while (!$categories->EOF) {
          if (CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_INACTIVE_HIDE == 1 && zen_count_products_in_category((int)$categories->fields['categories_id']) == 0) {
            // skip empty or status off categories
          } else {



            $this->data[$categories->fields['parent_id']][$categories->fields['categories_id']] = array('name' => $categories->fields['categories_name'], 'count' => 0);
        }
$categories->MoveNext();
        }

Hi,
I searched but can't find solution, please help me to erase the static "Sale" image on left leader of this template. I want to permanently disable or delete it. But it should not disturb cross browser adjustments which is currently fine.
I notice this static image already does not show up on mobile devices which is fine.

Regards

In the README file, I think the description and control is listed in the section which describes HOME PAGE BANNERS and is the one labeled HOMETOP and controlled from within the Banner Manager section of Admin
