Modern Zen [RI07] Template

You can see it on my test site to be developed for now (until I may move on to something else).

http://www.wedding-mart.com/

It HTML Validates green/pass and only one CSS Validation error, per my checking.

Pretty fast also.

I did have trouble with the images not popping-up and just now corrected that with the new minification download earlier in this thread (I've had this min mod for some time; the one with the template didn't work as well. I'm using the min on my main site below.)

Thank you for your reply and the link for your website. Your small images in the category listing (prom dresses) still are not popping up. Are you trying to say this template has issues with image handler?
Thanks,

Image Handler (IH3) works. The smallest images do zoom/pop, see here:

http://www.wedding-mart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2

The Category images do not pop because that is the way I have it set. They are larger than the other images and only the smallest images pop.

In fact, I just installed Lightbox and it's working (click on main image).

This is probably the first, and one of the only, free templates that IMO has a more modern look to the add to cart area, and category listing.

Only "problems" to my mind:

1. The top search box doesn't work normally; can't click on the magnifying glass and go. Customer would have to hit "enter" on keyboard. It's a strange oversight, but I've seen other templates from him where the search box drops-down when typing - maybe that's what he planned. Probably biggest problem.

2. Header2 banner is turned off, like some of the newer free templates. But I've moved this banner on other templates below the horizontal category navigation area for a nice, site wide display. Can probably do it with this template.

3. Never sure I was crazy with stripped background, so will take some time to see what I can do here or on yet another developing domain.

Then again, I'm also testing something completely different:

My wife says it's time to stop playing with templates and carts and choose....

PS: Add the dress to cart and see the nice cart display open in header; wonder if can always be open....

Add to cart brings me to another "problem": Customer cannot easily delete cart since no trash can or X. Have to manually do it by changing quantity to 0.

All-in-all, only real issue so far is the top search function.

Decided will go with this template.

Just tonight before shutting down I discovered the nice open subcategories presentation in it's included simple categories! I tested this template a year or so ago, but since I did not have subcategories then, didn't see the possibility.

I always liked this template and it just got much, much better!

Hi all,
Ive installed this stunning template. But I have a problem of the price not showing and the product options are showing greyed out.

I have several other templates installed and they all show the price and all options are solid not greyed out.

So it looks like its a template issue.

Please advise.

Is the template compatible with ZenCart 1.5? I uploaded and ran the SQL patch, however it does not show up in the template selector in admin.

Thanks!

I recently re-visited this template on my first 1.5 demo cart. It didn't work, and I was disappointed. I may try again, because although far from perfect, it had a nice feel.

PS: I didn't use the sql, never really did. Always tried a manual resetting.

Yep, could not get mine to work either with 1.5. Switching back to 1.3.9 since 1.5 seems to be incompatible with mods. Modifying the default template to look more like Volusion's product interface instead.

The product page is one place I think zencart generally looks outdated. And the Rubic Modern Zen looked more modern, to me. But it would have to be updated somehow.

I think I know why zencart's default product layout (used by most free templates) is the way it is. Looking at all of the text and attribute options and combinatons, perhaps it is the best way, if one uses them all.

Hi,

I am from https://www.thaigarden.digi-blue.co.uk. Had the same issue with search, managed to fix this morning.

1. Uploaded the includes/templates/all_business/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php (this is from the all business template under downloads) to includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php (this file was missing from this template). IMPORTANT: Please update src="includes/templates/all_business/buttons/english/button_search.gif" to point to your template with the button.)

2. In /includes/templates/MY_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php deleted:

<?php $content = ""; $content .= zen_draw_form('quick_find_header', zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'); $content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT); $content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description', '1') . zen_hide_session_id(); $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 180px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"'); $content .= "</form>"; ?> <div class="searchHeader forward unitPng"> <?php echo $content; ?> </div>

and replaced with:

<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>

All working fine now!

For those of you also wanting the remove button on the cart, do this:

1. Copy /includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php to /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php.

2. On /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php, find <th scope="col" id="scRemoveHeading"> </th> and change to <th scope="col" id="scRemoveHeading"><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_REMOVE; ?></th>.

3. Go to your english.php file, and under // table headings for cart display and upcoming products add define('TABLE_HEADING_REMOVE', 'Remove');

This will add a heading to the last column to allow customers to click the little box on the left hand side and once they click "Update Cart", it will remove the product. Suggestion also to add some text in your includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php to advise them of what to do.

Do you have this template working on zencart 1.5?

Okay, just got this template working on a 1.5 test site:

http://www.prom-mart.com/demo-2/

Needs the canonical link but this template just might work afterall.

I installed it first thing after the 1.5 test site.

May blow-up site with Ultimate SEO URL and other testing mods, and also plan to re-test Estorenow template here. But test site will remain as long as possible.

Got the header search button working.

I guess main issue now is that the large product pop-up window doesn't work

http://www.prom-mart.com/demo-2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=34

Finally got the main image to pop-up. I guess it was because I had not yet uploaded the min (minification) folders. Minification is working.

Got header search icon clickable ... thank you!

Got canonical link going.

Looks like this template might be ready for zencart 1.5

Main remaining problem: if one wants to use it's built-in simple categories tree to show always expanded subcategories, they don't line up nicely. Like the site map, which is another issue. But overall template looks workable so far with 1.5.

http://www.prom-mart.com/demo-2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=34

Couple nice things about this template: it html validates out of the box and it's one css validation error is easily fixed.

It can also be very fast, from my past experience.

Note: Minification works but does not show in admin like on 1.3.9h. Not sure why. But since that was mostly turn on or turn off, maybe not a big issue.

Thank you for great free template. Just wondering if it's possible to download a button templates to change colours, etc?

Kind Regards
Damian
