Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

I'm using the original version. I've downloaded the update and read the docs. It doesn't mention an easy upgrade from the original to this. It looks like a fair number of files were changed. Is there an easy way to update my original Abbington Mega template so I can keep my customizations, or should this be looked at as installing a new template and recreating my changes?

Thanks in advance for your time, and thank you as always for your fantastic work.

To update your template package you will need to read through the change log in the readme.html file and delete files which were deleted, add files which have been added, and merge files that have been changed with the files in your current template package.

Thanks,

Anne

I thought that might be the case. Thank you:)

No problem ;-)

Hi Anne,

this is a longshot but I am desperate - I have an issue with customer login - getting a security warning error. Does your template customize /includes/functions/sessions.php file at all?

Please see FAQ re this problem below with this reference.

FAQ

There was a security error when trying to login

Situation:
I'm getting this error when trying to login from the customer screen "There was a security error when trying to login"

Cause:
Zen Cart has a security feature to prevent spoofed external logins. A "security token" field must exist on all login forms, actually on all forms submitting data via POST. This token must be current (not expired), and must be submitted with the rest of the form data; in the case of login, that would be the login username+password in order for logins to work properly.

Remedy:
All your forms, both admin and non-admin, need to use zen_draw_form() instead of hard-coding a <form> tag.


Additionally, if you have customized your /includes/functions/sessions.php file for some reason, you'll also need to merge the new changes for this core file into your customized version.

Hi Anne,

Iam using your abbington templates, and trying the edit the main page, but found the HTML edit not found in my Text Editor (Define Pages Editor).. Looking forward to have your assist.

Thank you. Regards, Jean

The template does not modify that file. The contact us form in the menu does use the zen_draw_form()

The zen cart developers removed the html area in version 1.5x for security reasons. This has nothing to do with the template. If you need a wysiwyg editor you can install one of the plugins available. But, don't edit the define_main_page.php file with anything but a plain text editor as it contains php code.

Thanks,

Anne

This is not a template specific problem. I would recommend uninstalling that editor and installing the CK editor in the plugins section. Follow the installation instructions for that module and ask any questions about it on its support thread so that the module author can help you.

Thanks,

Anne

You will remove it from the includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_header.php file and add it to the includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.

Hi Anne,

CAPTCHA - I have installed this plugin and it works fine on the contact us page under the 'Information' tab (sidebox and header) - how can the Captcha be added to the Contact Us tab in the Header Menu?

I am having issues with lots of spammy emails so am hoping the Captcha will help - until I can put it in the header menu I have deleted Contact Us from that menu.

cheers,
Mike

If you read the readme.html file you will see that you must edit the define_main_page.php file with a plain text editor because the file contains php code.

Try downloading GlobalScapes CUTEFTP for free and see if the editor inside it will work for you, this is what I used to edit this exact template when I received it from a new client!
It works perfectly for me,
