ZCA Bootstrap 4 Template [Support Thread]

[chuckrey]

I realize this is an older post but I have a question regarding the discussion. Are you speaking of viewing the search bar in desktop mode? I am trying to get the search bar to display on the front page of responsive/portrait mobile without having to click on the toggler menu bar. Can you tell me if you know of a solution for this request? Thanks!

Responding to my own request after trying a couple of options one worked for me, right or wrong, it works.

In case anyone else wants to do the same, here is what I did...

file: tpl_header

Grabbed the below bit of code from around line# 72 and relocated it to just below "tagline" tag around #112.
Since it was placed below the tagline, it is using the TaglineWrapper css, so it fit perfect for my purpose. The only css I needed to add was in stylesheet.css

@media only screen and (orientation:portrait)
#taglineWrapper {padding-top:10px;}}

*** I do not use the tagline so not sure how it would interact, I assume a bit of css to get it worked out if needed. It also moved the search bar from the navmain to the tagline area across from the logo on desktop which I prefer. Keep in mind this also removes it from the toggle in Responsive which I don't mind since it is displayed in the header.

Code Moved from around #72 to #112:

<?php
require DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_sidebox_directory('search_header.php');
?>

There is probably a bunch of different ways to make it work, but I am not a coder and this worked for me.

I am having the hardest time understanding this template system. I downloaded it from GitHub and after copying all relevant files to the site, it throws PHP error on the front end:

--> PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "ZCA_BUTTON_COLOR" in /site/public_html/includes/templates/bootstrap/css/stylesheet_zca_colors.php:73 

In addition, there is no Admin > Tools > ZCA Bootstrap Colors as the FAQ claims.

Can someone point me to the installation instructions and how to use this template as the download contains no readme, no instructions.

Thanks!

It was an issue with the source not fully extracted from zip archive for some reason

The zip-file includes a /docs/bootstrap directory; that's where you'll find the installation instructions as well as a pointer to the template's wiki articles: https://github.com/lat9/ZCA-Bootstrap-Template/wiki

After upgrading, I'm getting the following warning messages when I load up the product details page of an item:

I tried to see what the data from the $product_info->fields was as I noticed there is no ['lang'] defined for it.

Hmm, \includes\modules\pages\product_info\main_template_vars.php is not a file distributed by the template. Is this zc210 as-shipped or current GitHub repo version?

It's the current 2.1.0 version but I guess I could try the current ZC repo version and see.

EDIT: Same warning message for lines 66 and 77 both referring that $product_info->fields['lang'] is null. Additionally, if I switch off from ZCA Bootstrap to something like Responsive Classic, no warnings are presented.

Thanks for the update; I'll give that a look-see a bit later.
