Westminster New

[hbhorsesbe]

Hello

I installed the new westminster 1.3 template on a zen-cart 1.5.5.e website that was upgraded from version 1.3.6.
On this website you can see the reviews in a second tab as here appearing: http://www.hblogo.be/logo/index.php?...oducts_id=1790 .

As i have multiple websites. For my second website i copied the full upgraded sub directory and linked it to the old 1.3.6 database, then ran the upgrade database to get it to 1.5.5 and then did my layout/images/css modifications to give it a different view. Now, on this second website the reviews are not appearing: http://www.hbgarden.be/tuin/index.ph...oducts_id=1915 .

Somebody an idea what could have gone wrong. Do i potentially miss an entry in the database that is not being created automatically when doing the upgrade database and the install of the new westminster template?

Anyone an idea how i could try to debug this?

Have you checked to see if it is turned on in the Layout Boxes Controller under the Tools menu in the admin backend?

Hello, yes it is.

What i did notice is that i was missing in the bannermanager the 'Custom Tab' entry. I now added that one. And thanks to this the reviews are now appearing as you can see here: http://www.hbgarden.be/tuin/index.ph...oducts_id=1873 .

Now, the only issue is that they appear in a 'Custom Tab' and not in the 'Reviews' tab.

Hello

I am running zen-cart 1.5.5e with new westminster template version 1.3.

My site used to work fine. I am now migrating my site to a new hosting with an other php version, being now 7.1

I get following error message, and my side is only appearing partially:

Best regards

Here's the thing folks are going to have to realize with a lot of the initial responsive templates.

Most, especially this one, were released even before PHP 5.6. And, as of three days ago, PHP 5.6 is no longer officially supported in ANY way.

PHP 7.1 will not be supported in ANY way on 1 Dec, 2019.

Unless you are able to put a band-aid on the PHP, it's just going to be a major headache each time your host is forced to move to the next level.

I do believe that time is better spent to make the responsively template into your own. What we do is use lat9's clone a template to make a copy of the responsive_classic. Then, we use the color change mod to adjust basic colors. Then, we clone again to start making the tweaks necessary to finalize your look.

You can always find newer ways to include sliders and other items that need the newer PHP.

Well said - Excellent post - I know I am not your favorite zenner after our little tiff however I think this is one of the best posts I have read in a long time. I myself am continually having problems with this template and have stubbornly persisted in staying with it, primarily due to lack of confidence, however I am as of this moment going to do exactly what you suggested dbltoe. I have put the url for this post in my favorites as a reminder.

cheers, Mike

Although I've used ZC for my online store for many years, I've managed to find answers to issues on the Forum and I've not had to post a question before. This time I can't find any help anywhere and I'm hoping someone can assist...

I've just upgraded to ZC 1.5.5f and run 155 Westminster New latest version. My server has PHP 7.0 set at the moment because the formatting falls apart when I use 7.1 or above.

I've got an annoying button problem with the SOLD OUT button that replaces the DETAILS buttgon on the products display. The DETAILS button is perfectly aligned but the SOLD OUT button is displayed slightly lower and half of the word "details" can be seen behind the top of the button. I've attached an image of my site to show how this looks. I think there's a stray line/carriage return been added somewhere in some code that is dropping the button down 1 line. That being said, I've looked everywhere for it (Dev Toolket etc) and can't find the offending file. Can anyone offer any advice?

Many thanks
Andy

Try this in your CSS file,

.centerBoxContentsProducts > a:nth-of-type(2) {display: none;}

Perfect! Many, many thanks. I'd never have got there on my own!

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on what PHP is exactly and how it works but does upgrading to the latest version of Zen Cart fix this issue.
