Avonlee Contempo Template Support Thread

Forum5:

At this point a Q&A session or the SWAG method to find the problem would take longer than it would to upload a clean set of error free files. I would upload a clean set of files making sure to retain a copy of the 'Configure.php' files before deleting the old files on the server. Leave off the Avonlee modification until you have control of the 'storepickup.php'. I have to work on a customer's ZC in the next day or so. I have a test store there so I will take a closer look then.

I'll try testing it on a clean install and see where it goes.

Hi, I have the Avonlee Contempo template loaded up and we're loving it. Only one problem, I have the slide show running with seven slides, but after the first one shows, the others don't. I only have the text 'slide2' etc showing where the actual slide image should be.
My php file looks all correct and I can't seem to see any errors on it. Can you offer me any assistance here with this one?
You can look at my site if this would be easier on https://www.yourebeautiful.com.au

Many thanks,
Tanya

The view source is showing that you have not defined images 2 to 7. You only have defined the 1st image. Check with the developers toolkit for IMAGE2 to see which file it is in. Once you find it, see if a define for the slide image is there.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Out of frustration, I ended up grabbing the original file and re-doing it. I still have the old file, as I want to try to get my head around what I did wrong as it was all working just find, until I decided to make the font larger in the text below the slide show. When I changed the font size, the slide show went crazy! Thanks for the advice.

My guess is that you edited the define_main_page.php with a html editor. This file contains php code and must be edited with a plain text editor.

For the absolute life of me I cannot get a background image to work on my site. I have followed many directions over and over again, including these:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/blog/?p=1838/

My image is in the includes/templates/avonlee contempo/css/stylesheet.css folder. I am so frustrated. My site is https://www.oldworldarchery.com

Well I guess it is working for now. It just took ipage over an hour to update it. Man! I just need to figure out how to get it static now. I swiped this code from another thread, will this work with this template?:

{background-color: transparent; /not required but useful/
background-image: url(http://www.yoursite/images/yourimage.jpg%29; /* your image*/
background-repeat: no-repeat; /can be set to repeat-y or repeat-x/
background-attachment: fixed; /make image static/
background-position: center top; /set the start position of image/
background-clip: border-box;
background-origin: padding-box;
background-size: 100% 100%; /set screen area for image stretch/
}

I am happy that you figured it out.

background-attachment:fixed; will fix the background image and let the content scroll over the top.

Thanks,

Anne

Anne has done a great job with her add-on.
Cleaning cache is sometimes overlooked as well as other sites maintain cache you can't control so, when in doubt, F5, F5, F5, bounce machine, F5, F5, F5.

Hi there,

First of all thanks for this nice template. I am currently working on testing if his is suitable for my website but i run into something i don't seem to be able to fix

When you test the site so it shows like it would be on a mobile phone the product title (wich is long with my products sometimes) goes over the price text so both are unreadable.

I really would like the display order 1. image 2. description 3. price

You can see a test version of my site runnning here http://www.pureandtimeless.de/webshop/tahiti-parels-c-65.html

I was also wondering what triggers the site to go to a different layout so i can keep my main design like it is and only show your template when people use mobile devices.

Thanks again

Got the overlapping stuff worked out, have to fiddle with .pl price in the responsive stylesheet.

Remains one question: Is there a way to only show the responsive template on small devices and keep my original one for desktops?
I woul also like a button to go to "normal" site even when people are on mobile

Viewing the desktop view on a mobile is a feature which is included in the newest versions of the DIY responsive template default code. I will be updating this template to the new code at some point.

I am not sure what you mean by "only show the responsive template on small devices and keep my original one for desktops?". This template is using media queries for layouts for different sized screens so you can customize the view on a mobile phone to look different than the desktop view if you like.

Thanks,

Anne

Anne,

Your templates are the best. Thank you!

I do have a customization that I'd like to make, and I'm having a hard time. I've tried several times without getting it.

On the products listing/subcategory products list, I have Quantity set within admin to display, and it does display a number, but I find it confusing to my customers to just have a number under the product photo.

How/where can I add it the text "Quantity" or "In stock:" either before or after the quantity number?

(I'm comfortable editing the product_listing.php, or any other files, but I cannot figure out how to get the desired result).

Thank you

I am happy that you like the templates ;)

If you want to make changes to the product listing pages, you will need to edit the includes/modules/avonlee_contempo/product_listing.php file. Do a search in the file and find the code that prints out the product quantity.

Thanks,

Anne

Yes, I was able to get ALMOST that far.

I can add the text "Quantity" after the image.

I can add the text "Quantity" after the field,

BUT I cannot find the code where I can add it before/after products_quantity...

^^^UPDATE IN PROGRESS^^^

I now see the the key piece of code. It's this here little $lc_text..

    $lc_text = 'In stock:' . $listing->fields['products_quantity'];

GOT IT FINALLY!!!

Thanks again

There is one last extremely important thing I am trying to add that I cannot figure out. I added an extra field to my products table (products_notes) via the famous 2007 crazy_chris method.

I can get the products_notes extra field onto the product info page, but not onto this products listing page. I've tried every which way but nothing works.

Any help would be ohh so greatly appreciated!

I have seen this question asked and answered before on the forum. If you do a search of the forum, you will find the answer ;)

Me too. I have read it being asked over and over. Often without a reply, and sometimes with a reply. Sometimes in the same crazy_chris or webego thread, and many other times in different threads.

I've tried each "solution" posted (that I could find, both on the forum and other sites, and there are several completely different answers). I've lost track of all of the files that I modified and where the posts are, but I keep 2 txt files where I copy and paste out of the solutions posted to try and keep notes until I find what works.

IF you know of a solution that actually produces results, P L E A S E point me towards it!

Now that 1.5.3 is out, will avonlee contempo need to be updated too? The plugin page lists it for 1.5.1, but not 1.5.X...

Is avonlee contempo 1.6 zencart 1.5.3 compatible?

Thanks
