Social Networking Sidebar

Hello Anne,

I cannot get this mod to work - I have installed it on two websites both using Abbington_Mega and it will not work on either. I merged the files using WinMerge and also did it manually and still no difference. I am stumped.

sites are https://www.treeoflifejewellery.com.au and https://www.harmonyball.net.au - would you be kind enough to take a look please.

cheers,
Mike

My first thought is that there is a javacript conflict. Be sure that you are not calling the jquery library twice.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

I just loaded the mod into another site (also Abbington_Mega) again with no luck - I thought maybe the 'Hover' jscript_imagehover_js may be conflicting but I do not have Hover on this last site so that put paid to that.

It is really puzzling - I followed the installation procedure by the letter.

Anything else coming to mind?

cheers,
Mike

Viewing your source I can see the jquery library being called twice.

Thanks,

If you do a view source you will see the 2 times that the library is called. The easiest way to find what file is calling it is to use the admin--tools--developers toolkit. Search for https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js and/or jscript_jquery_1-4-4.js. If I had to guess I would say that the lower version number which is being called by the lightbox module is the problem and you should remove that one.

Hi Anne,

Thanks for that. I found I had these files in templates/abbington_mega/jscript which I have now removed; jscript_jquery_1-4-4.js AND jquery_1-4-4.js

I removed one at a time alternately with no effect so removed both and still no change at all - there are no other duplications of these files in the server only the single instance of jquery-1.4.4.min.js (has .min included in code)
includes/classes/zen_lightbox/slimbox.php
Line #11 : echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $template->get_template_dir('.js', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'jscript') . '/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>';

the only files now in templates/abbington_mega/jscript are the two in the installation of the mod, jquery.sidebar.js and jscript.jquery.min.php and one that is a component of IH3, jscript_imagehover.js (I even removed this file in case there was a conflict but it made no difference so I restored it as I like that hover feature)

I found no other references to either removed scripts in developers tool - source should now not show the duplicate call?

However having done that the mod is still not working so I am perplexed. I believe the merged tpl_main_page.php file is correct (see below) would you concur?

looking forward to your further assistance. https://www.treeoflifejewellery.com.au

Hi Anne,

I have found a temporary solution (this may be useful to anyone else having the same issues I did) - instead of using this mod I have simply added this script from my ADDTHIS account where I have the sliding social media bar added for use on non ZC sites <!-- Go to <https://www.addthis.com/dashboard> to customize your tools -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4fb2165f3e247f75" async></script> to includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_main_page.php AND TO includes/templates/abbington_mega/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php which now gives me the sliding social media bar on all pages including EZ pages which is apparently part of the latter file.

** Note: this slows down loading time of pages ever so slightly so I am still keen to find the solution to the issue with your mod.

cheers,
Mike

I just installed this on the site and the social links did not change when I added display:none. So I tried to uninstall with your uninstall instruction in the readme. After that, my site lost the stylesheet somehow. PLEASE help.. http://dansgunsandstuff.com/index.php All my text is now huge!! What happened?
Using Zen Cart v1.5.3) Also, my original Social sidebar is not only showing on the right sidebar, but it is at the top as well. This happened after I tried to uninstall this Social Networking Sidebar.

Well never mind... sorry I panicked! I was nearly finished with this website... and what did I do... I put my other sidebar social.php file into my includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/hampshire_cammie folder. This is what caused my problem. The Social Networking Sidebar was working fine... I was a careless with my ftp. Please forgive me Anne... for my panic. I sent you an email as well. Everyone please be careful with where you ftp files. Whew... that was so stressful!

is there a way to move this to the bottom when switching to mobile versus the side?

Hello,
I have had a bit of a read through the info here but no one seems to have my issue.
I have 1.5.5f and seem to be having issues with lots of my addons which I have not had when using a previous version. With the social side bar, I uploaded the files and there is nothing showing. Is there a setting I need to change in admin?
Also on the install instructions it didn't say where to place the jscript so I have put it in, includes > template > responsive_classic > jscript.
Is this correct?

Cant see the side bar on my phone or on my computer!

Thanks
AMy
