Tabbed Home Page Modules

picaflor-azul:

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Thanks,

Anne

Here is a link to my site, at least one of them. I was able to get the zc v1.3.9h site to work properly with tabbed and it shows the products as it should. However the site that I am building to replace the one above zc v1.5.x doesn't show anything but the tabs no matter what I change in the above mentioned file(s).

Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would guess it was one of the customizations that you made that is messing things up. I would recommend back tracking through your changes until you find the point at which it broke.

G'day

I've installed this without issue (no edits/overwrites) and have all the admin config settings enabled but I don't get any tabs? None, nada. Only 'new products' are displayed too but given the add-on's default admin settings I would have expected to see Featured, Specials and Upcoming listed beneath as well, given that no tabs are displayed to group them in a single box. :-(

I've got loads of add-ons installed but can't think of any that conflict or modify the main page center boxes.

Any pointers where to look?

The only thing I can think of is a jscript issue... CSS Mega Menu, Image Handler 4 and Zen Light Box 1.6.4 installed. Zen v1.5.1, site in development.

Did you follow the readme.html file and do the manual edit in step 1?

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Hi Anne

Thanks for replying.
I didn't need to edit index_home.css because I didn't have one before, so just uploaded your version. I have doubled checked and it is according to instructions in step 1.

I'm not sure about the following though:

If you already have the jQuery library installed in your zen cart, or being called remotely in another file, don't upload the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_jquery.min.php file.

As I don't know, I tried both with this file present and with it renamed to exclude it.

The site is currently 'down for maintenance', but I will open it up for a while for you to check.

Appreciate your assistance Anne. Thanks.

Whoops, forgot this...

Your site is taking a very long time to load ;( I don't see the code for the tabbed home page modules when I view the source. Did you change the name of the override directory in the module package before you uploaded it?

Thanks,

Anne

Yes, template override directories changed and files present in the correct locations.

Not sure about the load times you experienced, seems a little slow to me at the moment but not too bad (3-4 secs)... better than many I've visited.

If the files for the module were installed to the proper directories on your server, you would see the module code on the home page.

Hi Anne

Something may have changed at the time you looked but all the files should be there. I'm working on the site at the moment and have checked that all the applicable files are in the correct places. Hopefully you can have another look and let me know what you find.

Using IE10 debugging, I can see the html for the various sections (new, featured, specials and upcoming) but only Featured is displayed before Upcoming. :-|

I don't whether there is a conflict with the following, so I have renamed the existing file for the time being:
jquery-1.4.4.min.js (currently renamed jquery-1.4.4.min._js)
jscript_jquery.min.php

If you do look and still don't find what you're looking for, please give me some examples for my own testing purposes.

I've now seen an example of what I'm looking for and for the life of me I don't know why I'm not seeing the same things. I expect some conflict or other override somewhere or a dependency that doesn't exist as I've now renamed and then copied over the template files in my template_default folder and applicable template override folder. :frusty:

There must be something missing or something existing that shouldn't. Ugh.

Double check this file for I do not see the js script code

/includes/templates/GAM2/templates/tpl_index_default.php

Hi
Thanks for looking. First, to be clear, I have seen an example on another site of what I should be seeing, but not on my site. The correct code and file is present on my server here: /includes/templates/GAM2/templates/tpl_index_default.php

Extract copied from downloaded file:

My site is ignoring this template somehow. I must have something hardcoded or overriding the call to this template somewhere else.

Any tips on debugging this scenario?

Cheers

Looking through my add-ons the only one that I can identify that comes close to being related is Flexible Product Listing and one of its files; tpl_index_product_list, which does have code for Featured, Special and New Products centre boxes.

Edit; this appears to only affect the sub-category index pages and evidenced somewhat by the different display between my home page and main sub-category pages.

Hi Anne (and maybe others)

Getting somewhere now... Searching for examples of this mod in use I had not noticed any sites with Categories displayed on the main page. Although the heading formatting is crap at the moment, I have Tabbed Home Page functioning by disabling 'Categories - Always Show on Main Page' i.e.:

Admin | Configuration | Layout Settings...
Categories - Always Show on Main Page = 0 (false)

I hadn't noticed any reference to this scenario being incompatible and still not certain whether this is a result of another conflict, so hopefully you can investigate and advise further.

I want my Categories displayed in conjunction with Tabbed Home Pages, as my customers are accustomed to navigating the store this way and it is appropriate for the nature of my store and product.

The code for the Tabbed home page module is not included in the plugin for

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php

therefore will not work if admin configuration
Categories - Always Show on Main Page = 1 (true)

The code for the center box modules are very different (why, IDK) when categories are enabled for main page.

With some alterations it can work though.

Yes, this is true. If you want categories on the home page you can copy the code for the module from the tpl_index_default.php file to the tpl_index_categories.php

Remember, doing so will also enable this module on your sub-category pages.

Not if you wrap the code with conditional code to limit it to the home page..

Why didn't I think of that, maybe a admin configuration.
