Andover Modern Template Support Thread

A note to new Zen cart installers:
There are two "includes" folders, this is not made clear in any documentation that I was able to find prior to installing this template, make sure that the file gets copied into the www/includes folder rather than the root includes folder

Schoolboy,
I appreciate your explanation, I know how to move files from my machine to my server using filezilla. I don't know shy some of the files were not getting uploaded but they weren't, I deleted the upload on my server at least three times and re-uploaded it. I finally went through folder by folder and checked for missing files and uploaded the ones that were not getting through, that finally got the template to function but there seem to still be some issues which I have not yet figured out what is causing them. Just as an example the "about us.php" file is not listed in the define pages editor drop down, this is not a problem now because I was able to locate it on my server and edit the file there. But the other problems I am not finding a solution to. Also, just FYI Anne, the link to your you tube video on the install readme file for "Add "Important Links" to footer menu" is the same link as step 9 "Customize Facebook and Twitter links"

Thanks for the note. I'll fix this in a future template package update.

Thanks,

Anne

I am not sure what you mean--there are not 2 /includes folders in a zen cart installation? There is an admin/includes and a /includes.

Thanks,

Anne

perhaps it is something that got created when I first installed Zencart, or maybe something that was created by bluehost, but there are certainly two seperate includes folders there. That was why when i first uploaded your template it didn't work, it was copied to the higher level includes folder.

On another note, where did you hide the meta information that displays when someone tries to post a link to my site? It is a little nuts when someone goes to post my web address and it ends up looking like an add for your services and Zencart.

There is nothing "hidden" about anything in the template. Search the FAQ's for how to change the site title.

OK Thanks, I will take a look at that, still trying to figure out php structure and find where everything is located, not an easy task but I will find my way around eventually. I'm sure there is a rhyme and reason to it but I haven't figured that out yet, CSS and html are pretty basic straight forward in comparison, guess additional classes may have been helpful but...

Hi Anne
I have the earlier version of the template, we (in the UK) have to now display a cookie accetance script. I am trying to use the one from civicuk.
Now, their js sript is conflicting with the Easyslider script. Both work great on their own but the images on the slider appear one after the other down the page. (no slide) when I activate the civicuk script.

Torn my hair out over this, read all I could about js conflicts and attemped amny ways to get the two working together..... but failed!

The following is a copy from the cookie thread in 'all other contributions' Could you offer any light on this problem. All EU users will eventually have to follow. Thanks for any advice...

picandnix...

No closer.... defo a conflict with EasySlider loading first and as they are on seperate calls (define_main_page.php for the slider) and (tpl_main_page.php) I can't see any easy way around it.... Not as if I could call the jscrip's from one page (in order)

Trying all the suggestions from general Java forums but nothing works as yet.

So far I have edidted the EasySlider call to the following.... (not working and about to call it a day)

<script>jQuery.noConflict(true);</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/andover_modern/jscript/jscript_iquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("#slider").easySlider({ auto: true, continuous: true, numeric: true }); }); </script>

I am sorry but I am not a javascript expert and can not give you too much help on this. Are you calling the new script correctly using zen cart conventions?

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne.... will check a little more

I still can not figure out why the meta tags are not functioning properly, I have changed the 'TITLE' definitions and 'SITE_TAGLINE' but it is not being recognized completely it shows correctly in my browser but not when I do a google search for lyricleather.com, following is the meta_tags.php file that is located in: public_html/includes/languages/english This really should have taken care of the issue but it isn't doing something properly

Make sure that you are changing the override file. If you see your browser title change then the change has been made. It might take a while for it to show in google with the change.

Thanks,

Anne

The browser title changed three days prior as soon as I made the change to the meta_tag.php file, yet it still has not changed either on FB or in Google, I would think that in three days and now over five that the change would have taken affect. Am I wrong?

I have just a small issue, and am unsure where to fix it. In my Categories menu I have sub categories and there are symbols showing up infront of the category name that I would like to get rid of.

Just wondering where and how to go about that?

thank you for any help

If you see the browser title changed when you view the site, the change has been made and will take effect. It probably already has. Clear your browser cache and look again.

Anne

First of all: many thanks for this great template!

I am new to this and have just set up my store. I have a problem with the product description page and have found nothing in the other threads. As there is a tpl_product_ info_ display.php under andover_modern/templates I try my luck here.

Ideally I would like two or three photos next to each instead of just the one photo. Product ID, price and description underneath the one/two/three photos, all the buttons on the lower right next to that. If that is not possible, then the second and possibly third photo underneath the first. As it is now a second foto conflicts with the buttons as seen here.

I can include several extra photos, but they will be spaced out evenly over that line, again overlaying the buttons on the right and having a lot of empty room between them.

My apologies if this was covered somewhere else and I overlooked it!

Thank you for your help!!

Try adding this to the bottom of your stylesheet.css file:

#productAdditionalImages{clear:both;}

Thanks,

Anne

I would like the images for drop down images to show in columns rather than a single row on any given product, better than that would be if the image only showed opnce the option is selected. Is this an option that already exists in the template, and if so where would it be selected?

I did paste this to the very bottom of templates/andover_modern/css/stylesheet.css
Doesn't seem to make any difference.
Easiest solution would simply be to force extra photos (one or two) to the left side. That would do it. There must be a command somewhere that allows them to slip right or -in the case of more than one- to spread in equal distance over the line irrespective of them overlaying the buttons on the right. If that could just be changed.

Thank you

I am not sure what you are talking about. Can you post a link to the page you are talking about?
