Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Hi,
Love the Template!
On my home page, the NEW tab at the bottom does not open when going to the page.
Here is my site: www.hectichaircare.com/shop
Hoping you can help me get it to open when a visitor comes-a-knocking!

Thanks!

I would be sooooo interested in this if you did it.. I have been quietly looking at how to grab the menu from this great template to use as a standalone menu..

I do have this on my list and hope to be able to get to it soon ;-) You can also use the tutorial that I used to build the menu here:

THanks,

As you add products, the new tab will be populated.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,
I already have 17 products added to the cart. But none of the tabs are open when you first load the home page.
If I click the NEW tab, it opens and shows all the products. Is there any way to get the NEW tab to open by default when the page first loads?

Thanks!
Rick

The tab opening with featured products showing is the default behaviour of the module. I would recommend posting your question to the support thread for the module I used to create the tabs Tabbed Home Page Modules.

Thanks again Anne,
I had some NEW products but no FEATURED. I added a few and it opens right up. Thanks!

Great! I am happy that you got it all sorted out ;-)

I have tried as suggested in modifying the includes/templates/abbington_mega/templates/tpl_index_default.php file to rearrange the featured/new/specials tabs on the main page (see pic) and have had no luck in getting the What's New tab to show up first. I tried rearranging the order of the code in the tpl_index_default.php fil as well as changing the navOne, navTwo, and navThree ordering within the file but to no avail. I am not sure what to do from here, so I have incuded the code in the file below as well.

tpl_index_default.php code:

I used the Tabbed Home Page Modules module for this funtionatliy. I would recommend reading and posting to that module's thread for your solution.

Thanks,

Anne

I posted over there and am waiting for a response. I will let you know what I find as I do not think I am the only one who has encountered this issue. I noticed that his module was written for version 1.3.9 and think that it may have something to do with how version 1.5.0 handles things as I tried--just for grins and giggles--to see what would happen if I replaced the tpl_index_default.php file with the one from his mod, but had the same issue. ((shrugs)) probably just my luck.

That is not the issue. Before I integrated the module code (I did have to make some changes to make the code validate) I merged the files into 1.5 files.

First, thank you for this great template Anne. Should be launching a website in a week or two and the template has been a HUGE help!

To change which tab shows by default, modify line line 6 in the css file: /includes/templates/abbington_mega/css/stylesheet_module_tabs.css:

#featuredProducts {display:block;}

Change featuredProducts to either whatsNew, or specialsDefault -- depending on which you want... or to open all three, you can make the line:

#featuredProducts, #whatsNew, #specialsDefault {display:block;}

Great! Thank you so much for posting.

One more teeny issue ... Since the "Contact Us" form uses the same id's and names as the contact_us page, there are validation errors when you're on the contact_us page. I solved this by not displaying the "Contact Us" link in the header when the contact_us page is active in /includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_mega_menu.php:

<?php if ($_GET['main_page'] != FILENAME_CONTACT_US) { ?>  
        <li class="contactus-li"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>" class="drop"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US;?></a><!-- bof contact form -->

Hi Anne
Using your theme and customized it as per your readme.html file

Thanks for a great theme.

Found answers to most issues from your readme or the zen-cart support forum or google . But could not find how to put our store name on the title of the webpage

Maybe its too simple and thats why nobody have asked for it as i read all the 10 pages of this thread after searching it in the readme.

Thanks

I think i found out, thanks to Notepad++
it was here
includes\languages\english\abbington_mega\meta_tags.php

Thanks Anne for the great theme ! and thanks to people behind Zen Cart , i am closer to getting my own store online . The only major thing now is approval from thye payment gateway. After that some plugins and mods and my site will be accepting its first order.

Thanks to all

(ps: i submitted an modified addon but pressed the submit button twice and it got submitted twice. as the addon does not have a support thread, where should i report it)

Hi Anne,

Just tried to install your nice template in my site and I got the following error during installation:

PHP Fatal error:1062, Duplicate entry 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE' for key 2 :: INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Product Listing - Layout Style', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE', 'rows', 'Select the layout style:<br />Each product can be listed in its own row (rows option) or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)', '8', '40', NULL, now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array("rows", "columns"),'); in /homepages/10945/d422510178/htdocs/test/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 101

Please note that I had no problem copying the files to my site, but I got the above error when I tried to run you patch, by copying and pasting it my admin site.

I am happy that you figured it out :-) I am not sure that you mean when you say that you submitted a modified add on. I update the template pacakges regularly and submit them.

The error means that you already have run the column layout grid sql patch on your database.

Thanks for your reply Anne. So, should I ignore the error or I need to do something else?
