Desert Noon Template Support Thread

[ormcd]

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm using this template with english and french language packs.
I can't figure out how to stop new products added appearing in the New Products box on the left twice ie, once in french and then again in english. I had thought only the english version should show when displaying site in english, and then when french language was selected only french descriptions would show. It only happens in the left hand column box, not if you click to see all new products in the main centre column of the website.
Anyone have any suggestions, I'm new to all this and haven't a clue where to look to fix this.
Thanks.

Try this fix

Just unzip the package and upload/FTP the includes folder to your server.

I just installed this template and noticed there are some characters not diplayed.

For example, not quite sure how this will be displayed here, but I'm copying and pasting
Shipping�Sample Text�...

When viewing in FireFox, there is a little box with 'FF DD' after "Shipping" and another after "Text"
When viewing in Internet Explorer there's a question mark instead of the little box shown in FireFox.

Why does this happen?
I was comparing with stock files and noticed for the template 'en_US.utf8' and the stock file 'en_US.ISO_8859-1'
Does this have anything to do with it? Which encoding is better?

Thanks.

change the encoding to en_US.ISO_8859-1 and see if that helps

Yep, changing to en_US.ISO_8859-1 in the english.php fixed it.

Opening the files containing these characters that did not display correctly revealed the character was just a space. Deleting the space then typing it again and saving the file also could fix it.

Are the files inside includes/modules/sideboxes/desert_noon necessary?

I'm comparing with the current stock files for the latest version and they seem to be pretty much exactly the same.

I'm just trying to get rid off unnecessary files in override folders that are already the same as the stock files.
