Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Hi Anne,

Thank you for your quick response. You are very knowledgeable.

What you are saying certainly makes sense. Jquery is being called twice.

Order Delivery Date Picker has jscript files in "\includes\modules\pages\checkout_shipping" folder. It loads those files only when the checkout page is loaded.

I am a fairly new Zenner.

Would you be kind enough to tell me which files I need to move from "/includes/templates/abbington_mega/jscript" folder to "/includes/modules/pages/index" folder?

Do I need to make any code changes to make it an index page-specific jscript for that slider?

Thank you for your response in advance.

Once you unzip the files from the template package you downloaded from Anne's website, you need to rename the admin folder (which says "YOUR_ADMIN") to match with your current zen cart admin folder.
Then copy the files over to your server. Then check and see if you see the link for admin-configuration-abbington_mega.

See this for more info on how zen cart uses jscript:

This is a good point. If you follow these instructions in the readme.html file the admin options should show once you run the sql patch.

Hello :-) I just submitted an update to the template package. Major updates include:

• Admin interface for customizing the slide show, mega menu, and footer.

Zomg.... I just noticed this and I have to say...it blew me AWAY. Now that is maximum utilization of the built in tools! It made me so happy, I'm singing my favorite Madonna songs from the 80's out loud and loving it!

Thanks Anne!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

Whats wrong with it? I'm not Anne but it looks like the same template on her site, you need to remove her stuff and add your stuff

Dear Uswebworx,

Thank you very much for repond quickly. Yes, I will remove her stuff. After I installed the template, the shopping cart shows the php code, did you see that?

I am very appreciate your help.

This?

• Shopping Cart - count_contents();?> item(s) - format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?>
  Try reinstalling the template, make sure it unzipped properly.

ok, ok, I have reinstalled 2 times. I will reinstall again.
Thank you very much.

Oh ok. If that doesn't work make sure you manually delete each file associated with her template. I have her older style of this and am not upgrading

This isn't an installation error.. There are PHP short tags are being used in some of the code header.. Most servers ignore them lending to the issue you are seeing..

in the common/tpl_header.php file find this section:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.HEADER_ICON_CART ?>" alt="cart icon" class="cart-icon"  /><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?> - <? echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();?> <?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_ITEMS; ?> - <? echo $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.HEADER_ICON_CHECKOUT ?>" alt="checkout icon" class="checkout-icon"  /><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>

replace it with this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.HEADER_ICON_CART ?>" alt="cart icon" class="cart-icon"  /><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?> - <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();?> <?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_ITEMS; ?> - <?php echo $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.HEADER_ICON_CHECKOUT ?>" alt="checkout icon" class="checkout-icon"  /><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>

Note that I replaced the "<?" shorttag with "<?php". Do the same and the issue goes away..

I am not seeing the template installed here.

Yes, this is correct. I have this bug on a list for fixing in a future update.

Thanks,

Anne

My website doesnt load on some computers as of 8pm CST today. I am sure it is some sort of April fools prank some group is playing.

The script that is locking me up is the gsgd one. At least I think so. The site shows it is loading cdnjs.cloudflare.com but it just never loads.

Can I remove this? What does it do?

Thank you

Anne can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think her template is using any of the Cloudflare libraries.. Something else you've installed may be making calls to that library.. You need to figure out which add-on you've installed which does this..

What is Cloudflare you ask??? if you Google "what is cdnjs.cloudflare.com", you might get some insight.. see if this site will help: http://blog.cloudflare.com/cdnjs-community-moderated-javascript-librarie

The script that is causing the problem is the jquery easing script. It is being served remotely. The author just changed their policy on linking to the script remotely. You can either remove the call for the script in the includes/templates/all_business/jscript/jscript_jquery.min.php line 2 or copy the script to your server in the includes/templates/all_business/jscript folder and change the call to point to the one on your server.

I will include the change in a future template update.

Thanks,

Anne

AnneHey Anne, if you are interested, I've had good success with jQuery's CDN.. In case you still want to go the route of using a CDN..

Using jQuery with a CDN

CDNs can offer a performance benefit by hosting jQuery on servers spread across the globe. This also offers an advantage that if the visitor to your webpage has already downloaded a copy of jQuery from the same CDN, it won't have to be re-downloaded.
