Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Hi Thank you for the great work on this template, I absolutely love it.

However, I got a few questions when installing the template.

As shown in the below picture, in mobile browser such as chrome for iphone, these buttons seem out of place, anyway to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

I have not tested or optimized the template for use on mobile devices. You may have to make adjustments if you want to optimize the template for this use.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

Sorry, do u mean Abbington Templates do not fully support CK Editor or Wyzz Editor, am i right?

Can I uninstall the CK Editor after HTML Edit my website? then the slides only appear after work done all.

Please advice. I hope it work..

Thank you. Jean .. :-)

No, this is not true at all. You can not edit any php file with a wysiwyg editor. This is not unique to this template.

Thanks,

Anne

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,

For use with zen cart I recommend ck editor. You just can not use it to edit php files or other files that matter if the code is corrupted.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Finally, I got what you mean, the main page need to use plain text to edit, and others pages can use wyzz or CK editor.
I'm so sorry for trouble you. =-)

GlobalSCAPE's FTP program has a built in FTP and an HTML or PlainText editor built into it, it is super flexible and easy to use. I am unsure what you mean by CK editor other than installing it to the admin side and using it. Which I do as well but the program I am referring to gives more flexibility as an editor for offline and online editing...........

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

When you install ck editor to your admin you can use it to edit database items like product descriptions, ez pages, etc.

I'm having a problem and I have checked files, had my server host check and re-check files and have narrowed the problem to be template specific because I tried this situation with another template and could not duplicate the problem.
The problem is when using Fast and Easy checkout AND Zone Rate for shipping, when the customer fills in their name, address etc on the login page then hits the SUBMIT button they get an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.
If I deactivate FEC all works OK.
If I activate FEC and change to Flat Rate of Free Shipper - all works OK.
I really need FEC and Zone Rate to be working together as I ship world wide, and would like for my customers to be able to check out
"FAST and EASY".
Could you please advise as to how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance --- Paul.

This is not a template inherent problem. It sounds like you have not installed fast and easy checkout correctly.

Thanks,

I had the program professionally installed by Numinix, the author of the program, so I cannot believe it has anything to do with the installation.
And like I said, it works perfectly with another template.

Did you reinstall it after the new template? If it still works with the old one, it sounds like some of the files didn't make it to the new template install.

If you installed this template AFTER you installed FEC then it means that you are missing all of the template specific files that FEC needs to run.. This means this is an issue with your FEC installation and not an issue caused by this template.. You can ask the good folks at Numinix to help you correct this if you are not comfortable making the changes needed yourself..

I found the problem - There were two copies of the same file in the same directory and that was confusing everything. Don't know why I didn't see that before. Removed one of the files and all works OK now. THANKS ----------Paul

Thanks for the response Paul about Captcha - dumb question but what does "comment out from this line" and "comment out to this line" mean? - I figure in means between ... but comment out means what??

cheers,
Mike

It means to comment out that part of the file so it will not run...
Begin Comment with <!-- and go to where I pointed out and put and END comment -->
This keeps the Contact Us in the header from running and sends the customer directly to your "Contact Us" page where you place the CAPTCHA.
I never could find a way to place CATCHA on the "Contact Us" form that comes with the template - this did the trick for me.
Hope this helps.....

Thanks Paul - so it has the same effect as deleting that code but without deleting it should you wish to revert at some future point - is that right? (similar to a .htaccess 302 temporary redirect ?)

thanks,
Mike

Exactly---I don't like to delete original code just in case you need to restore it later.

Ok, so the problem was with the fec install. I am happy that you got everything figured out.

Thanks,
