If you search the thread I think that someone may have posted instructions for this. You can also search the forum for instructions on how to add additional banner groups.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Anne I hope this finds you well. I need to ask a question, on the front page where the new, specials, featured, product are listed. How can I get the new products to display automatically when you land on that page. Thank you

The template is not causing the slow loading. If you post a link to your site I can take a look. Also, do a search of the forum for others that have similar problems.

Thanks,

Re: Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Hello, as you know we are looking for a theme to play with. We found this theme and we like the way it looks but we seem to have a issue? As you know we had a theme that we were using and the theme was not what we needed and lacking most features we needed which brought us to this theme.
We cleared our server and our sql and started from a clean install of both zen and sql.
We set up our https and corrected our core files for https to make sure the default theme worked correct and no errors.
Them we downloaded the current theme http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/index.php?main_page=index&template_switch_id=abbington_mega and uploaded the theme to the theme folder and updated the sql with I think the 53 files.
Checking the main page https://culinarygods.com/store/ or http://culinarygods.com/store we get a BLANK page?
If we go back to the default we get a normal page and all works, back to the new theme and blank page?
I searched the forum some and did not see any other with the same issue on a clean install?
Did I miss something in the files I should have uploaded other than just the theme file?
Thanks

Please follow the installation instructions in the readme.html file included with the template package. It sounds like you have not uploaded the files to the correct directory.

Thanks,

Still blank page? https://culinarygods.com/store/
Default still works?
Any ideas of what might have happened or do I need to call my vs hosting co and let them know I have a issue with the server config on the new box?
Uhhhhhh, I want to learn about how to fix this stuff but I just do not know enough yet.....
Https is working and the confg files for http and https all work fine and the default theme will do its auto decisions on what is https or http which is kinda cool and I think makes things faster and shows the customer the site is taking steps to ensure their data safety!
But still a blank page.....

Re: Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Ok we will dump all again and start from a fresh install of all from the ground up. My hosting Co. thought it was a sql issue but they said if we have no info or products yet do a clean install and go from there. So clean install it is including sql.
I will post in a few minutes

If you have a blank page or part of a blank page look at your /logs folder for errors and correct them. See the FAQs section of this site for a tutorial about blank pages.

The problem is not inherently the template. If the template were making sites load slowly then I would be hearing from thousands of people that this is happening. If you have installed modules or made modifications, you may have broken something or introduced a problem related to the slow loading time. Take a look in the faqs section of this site for tips on how to speed up your site, and make sure that you are on a good web host for zen cart. Search the forum to see if your particular host is know for problems.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Hello Ann,

I recently installed 'Save it For Later' module and it is working well, great asset to the cart page. I am now trying to put the 'Save it For Later' button on the product pages just below the add to cart button. I have followed the instructions however I cannot get the button to appear - I'm wondering if it may be a .css stylesheet issue?

So I am looking for some help here please - cheers, Mike
Instructions are as follows - part a) is that which concerns the template;

If you would like to offer Save for Later on your product info page,
do the following:

a) In includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php,
right before the closing </div> for the cartAdd div which displays the button,
add this block:

<!-- bof save for later --> <?php if (isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && $_SESSION['customer_id'] != '') { echo "<br /><br />"; echo '<input type="submit" value="' . BUTTON_SAVE_FOR_LATER_ALT . '" name="sfl" />'; } ?> <!-- eof save for later -->

other instructions (also done) are;

b) In includes/main_cart_actions.php, change the block

case 'add_product' :
$_SESSION['cart']->actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters);
break;

to

case 'add_product' :
if (isset($_POST['sfl'])) {
actionSaveForLaterFromProductPage($goto, $parameters);
} else {
$_SESSION['cart']->actionAddProduct($goto, $parameters);
}
break;

c) In the file includes/classes/shopping_cart.php, under
in the function actionAddProduct, right below the call to
$this->add_cart(...

insert the line

      $_GET['uprid'] = zen_get_uprid($_POST['products_id'], $real_ids);

then towards the bottom of the function, change

  zen_redirect(zen_href_link($goto, zen_get_all_get_params($parameters)));

to
if ($goto!= '') zen_redirect(zen_href_link($goto, zen_get_all_get_params($parameters)));

Pretty sure this isn't a template issue. I haven't played with save for later in a while but I think you only need to duplicate the add to cart button changing the action (but_now) to (sfl_move_to_cart).

@swguy has a support thread and is pretty good about answering questions about his plugins.

This is not a problem with the template pacakge. Any properly installed, stable module will work. Save for later is a well written mod and will definitely work if installed correctly.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Hello Anne,

my site(s) have the original version Abbington Mega and running v1.3.9h - I have just downloaded your latest version - can I 'upgrade' the current template using that download just by overwriting files or is there something else that needs to be taken care of?

cheers, Mike

p.s. sorted out the 'Save for Later' button problem - the button is hard coded, not an image

If you have not made any modifications to any of the template files then this should work. But, I would definitely create a mirror site and make the changes there to be sure that they work before experimenting on a live site.

Anne - are the links in the footer 'no follow' - I have added a link to my Etsy shop alongside the social media links, just making sure it is no follow.
