Hi Anne - All the best for the New Year! - thanks for all your previous assistance.

When anyone accesses my site the following script runs - I didn't even realise this occurred until over Xmas when the GSGD site must have been taking a hit and I got to see this access to the GSGD site address sitting there on the loading bar. I emailed GSGD about the reason that the script needs to run - but so far no reply.
Can this script be disabled without causuing problems with the slider operation ?

Thanks

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://gsgd.co.uk/sandbox/jquery/easing/jquery.easing.1.3.js" type="text/javascript" ></script>

Thanks

These are jquery libraries that are being called remotely by the template so as to eliminate the need to store the libraries on your server. It is very common practice and best practice when using large jquey libraries.

Thanks,

Hi Anne -

As you are probably aware their has been a great deal of news in the press about the problem with PC's having Java script enabled in the browser.

"This vulnerability is being attacked in the wild, and is reported to be incorporated into exploit kits," the department's Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) said in a notice on its website. "We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem."
The recommended solution was to disable Java. Three computer security experts also said computer users should disable those Java modules to protect themselves from attack."

Of course following the "experts" lead and disabling Java in browsers means that the Jquery sliding display no longer appears to users browsers.
If I decided to replace the Jquery slider so that a large blank area is not displayed in the header area, with a standard static display item, can you give me a pointer to how to achieve this.

Thanks for your great work

Regards

A large majority of users have javascript enabled. The only stat I was able to find was around 2% disabled:

But, if you want to replace the slide show with a static image, you can remove the call for the slide show in the includes/templates/avonlee_contempo/common/tpl_main_page.php file and just insert a large image there, or add your image to the define_main_page.php file and it will show in in between the left and right hand columns.

Thanks,

Anne

Thankyou Anne -

Do a developers toolkit search to find out which files to edit. You can find a tutorial in the FAQ's section expaining how to use the developers toolkit.

Hi,

This may be a simple one, but having a few problems finding the solution. I have added a best sellers banner on my site http://www.thewelliestore.co.uk/ and adjusted the width of the sidebox and the column on the right to accomodate the size of the images and text. This looks fine on the homepage, yet at product level the sidebar reverts to original size.

Do you have any idea of how to fix this issue?

Many Thanks,

Mark

There is a tutorial in the FAQ's section with details on how to change the width of the right and left hand columns. Do this in admin--configuration--layout settings.

Hey,

Just trying to "install" this template.

I have copy the the include folder into the root directory of my webshop (where the admin and include folder is etc.).

I have updated the database too...

But in the admin page under template selection. The newly copied template isn't available. it doesn't show up as one of the template I can choose between :/.

I have tried some of your other templates, but it is the same.

When I copy the files I have used Filezilla, but also copy it with the cp command in Linux.

What is wrong??

It sounds like you are uploading the files to the wrong place on your server. Check for includes/templates/avonlee_contempo/template_info.php file.

Hi,

That file exist on the server,

so I'm pretty sure it's not the problem?

If you are not seeing the template in your admin--tools--template selection then the files are not uploaded to the correct place on your server.

Thanks,

I had the same issue when I originally installed the template and it was my fault. I thought I was copying it to the right place - but I wasn't.
Using Filezilla - in the the right hand window you should be able to see your cache, classes,docs,downloads .... includes directories.
- in the left hand column as long as you have set up the Avonlee-Contempo directory correctly on your PC - right clicking on the includes directory and selecting Upload should work for you.

This is not a problem with the template. Do a search for the FAQs section of this website for a tutorial about how to set the order of your previous/next products on the product info page.

Hi again Anne -

I am using your great Avonlee-Contempo template. Q. How difficult is it to move the Slider to above and to the right of the Logo in the header space. I currently have the Language and Currency selections in that area but they could move to side boxes. I feel that the header space would be ideal and also free up space beneath the header area for featured products etc.
