Sheffield Blue Template Support Thread

cjcraven:

Thank you for this template. When viewing our test site from a PC the header has the language icon properly displayed. When viewing with a mobile application (HTC Butterfly/Sony Xperia) the language icon is missing. Please advise.

ZenCart 1.3.9h
Test Site https://www.uskgj.com/zc3

This is not the responsive version of the template. If you want to use this template on hand held devices, install the Responsive Sheffield Blue template.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,
I looked at your demostration http://zenlyzen.com/responsive/index.php? in both a PC and mobile unit. I still don't see the language icon in the header when viewing with a mobile unit. This is a pretty common android phone here.

With the PC if I make the browser small, to the point the side boxes disappear, the language icon too will disappear too.

I'll say it again, this is not the responsive version of this template. If you want a responsive template, use the Responsive Sheffield Blue.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,
I am looking at your demonstration site http://zenlyzen.com/responsive/, not my test site. I think this is the template for mobile applications. Please point me to the correct location for the mobile demo site if I am wrong.

Got it, thanks

Hi Picaflor,

I have modified the main menu as you can see in www.kite-addic***tion.es/tienda (remove the ***)

I would like a drop menu coming to each of the products category, but have no idea how to do it. I guess it is simple but dont know how.

Right now the menus links work, which is good, but it would be nice to be able to have that drop menu for the categories.

Kind regards,

David

DONE!!! its implemented now. I learned to pass variables to a class, and use the variable inside the class to start building the categories tree from there :)

It would be helpful if you posted your code so that others with the same question can search and find the answer ;)

In the tpl_mega_menu file:

            <div class="dropdown_1column">
            <div class="col_1 firstcolumn">
               <div class="levels">
                   <?php

// load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
$zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
$menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true,12);
$menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('<li class="submenu">','<li class="submenu">',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace("</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n","</li>\n</ul>\n",$menulist);
echo $menulist;
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>

    </li>

then in includes / classes / categories_ul_generator.php

function buildTree($submenu=false, $variable)
{
$this->root_category_id = $variable;
return $this->buildBranch($this->root_category_id, '', $submenu);
}
}

So what i do is in the mega menu to call this buildtree function passing a variable that tells the categories generator where to start, the variable has to be your category number...works like a charm

I got now another problem, also posted in the multilanguage ezpages thread.

As you can see when you enter my site in the footer the useful links you can see a link in spanish called 'prueba' and 'test' in english. Its not appearing in the header menu under the info menu...ive reinstalled the multilanguage thread a couple of times but no success, its like its not reading the same ezpages database or something.

if i insert a new ezpage both languages appear.

Regards,

David

That's great ;) I am sure that this will help others in the future.

Not bad for someone with just 2 weeks into zencart haha :D

ezpages in header is set to 1

Anne,
I have been beating my head against the wall all night and can't figure out what's going on. I can not get the social media links on my slider bar to go to my links. i have even reloaded the complete template and reloaded the social_define.php file. When I reloaded the file, I confirmed they were your links then changed them to mine and saved. Even went to another computer to load my site and social links loaded your links instead of mine. I searched the thread and found a couple of instances just like mine but all were either cut short or something else changed. My site is https://www.bearcreekleather.com and facebook link is https://www.facebook.com/bclleather any idea what could possibly be causing this!?! I'm literally at my wits end. There's not many problems I can't figure out but this is one for the record books. Thanks in advance for any help.

It should be in this file tpl_main_page.php which you can use Developers Toolkit to search for it!
/public_html/includes/templates/your_template/common

I think that maybe I didn't ask the question correctly or there was a misunderstanding. All I want to do is change the links from your facebook page to mine, yet when I changed the links in the associated files according to the documentation, the links still go to your sites. You said in the link reply above, it should be in tpl_main_page.php yet I see nothing in there pertaining to the associated links?!? Could you please elaborate?

I found the problem, although I'm not quite sure why it was happening. I used the developers tool kit (THANKS to USWEBORX!!:cool:) and found the link I needed to change in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/footer_menu_defines.php. Although the social icon I was clicking on was in the slider on the side, this link was the one that allowed it to take me to my page instead of the original.

I am happy that you figured out the problem. Thank you for posting your solution. This bug has already been fixed in the Responsive Sheffield Blue template package. It has many bug fixes and enhancements over this legacy package. I would recommend using the responsive package.

Thanks,

Anne
