Responsive Apparel Boutique Template

RixStix:

No change when that is patch is executed. Dar n

I could try installing a different responsive template but don't expect any difference since AllBusiness appears the same.
I hate being a problem child too. I guess there's always a possibility that it is not playing nice with some addon that I've installed but other templates play nice.

Error Failed: 1
Error ERROR: Cannot ADD column show_box_min_width because it already exists.
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

The error says that the show_box_min_width column already exists so maybe there is no problem? When you go to admin--tools--layout boxes controller do you see the column?

If you go to your database and look in the configuration_group table do you see more than one id number for the template?

Thanks,

Anne

Yes. Blue Text. All turned OFF per instructions.

Admin: Configuration: Layout Settings: No Blue Text in first row as shown in readme
Admin: Configuration: Responsive Apparel Boutique: No data in TITLE, VALUE, ACTION

If you go to your database and look in the configuration_group table do you see more than one id number for the template?
YES. 2 instances of Apparel Boutique, followed by 1 instance of All Business, followed by a 3rd instance of Apparel Boutique.

Did you run this patch:

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES 
(NULL, '<font color="#0044ff">ACTIVATE Responsive Template by selecting Column Widths</font>', 'COLUMN_WIDTH', '2', 'Width of the Left and Right Columns<br />0 = Use Default Template Settings<br />1 = 75px<br />2 = 180px<br />3 = 225px',@configuration_group_id, NULL, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'0\', \'1\', \'2\', \'3\'),');

You have all parts installed correctly from what I can see.

The funny and (irritating) thing about the responsive design is that when using div;s, all the coding errors prevent the layout from correctly displaying as it should where as using HTML tables in the stock code contained the errors within the TR;s and TD;s.

First and foremost issue with responsive design:

An opening div tag without a closing div tag
No opening div tag with a closing div tag
An extra div tag

I use FF - Right Click anywhere on your page > Click View Page Source

Find the code that is (BOLDED and in RED font) and fix it.

Generally speaking.

Anne, your templates validate 100% as expected. Great work as always! :smile:

Calling it quits for tonight before my eyes start squealing any more.

What I can't figure out is how this "/div" prevents admin configuration settings from appearing where they should appear. Without that access, none of the responsive settings can be made (other than layout boxes).
What I don't understand is why this '/div' only seems to show itself when any of these responsive templates are attempted.

Things appear somewhat normal when a new responsive template in uploaded but before clicking "Reset" in layout boxes controller.

Will resume the hunt tomorrow.

Can you try turning off your banner sideboxes with the upfront code?

Thanks,

Anne

Done. No effect. Also turned off all the excess rabslide banner images.

I can comprehend how doing these things will affect the displayed page.
I cannot comprehend how these things will cause the admin responsive options which do not appear for setup, to appear in the configuration screens to be setup.

I would rather figure out how I got this so messed up instead of just wiping out the entire install and starting with a fresh V1.5.1 install. A fresh install would eliminate all learning opportunities.

It looks like you might be missing files. If it were me, I would start over. Be sure that you upload all files, including the admin ones ;)

I would do that but I've already added all of your responsive templates and get the same result on each. There is something common and most likely something that I've mucked up in the process but I'm not ready to throw in the towel. I'll let you know what happens but don't want to contaminate your support thread any more.

I will pm you.

Greetings! You do good work; I'm liking this and your other new templates (having fun trying to see how far I can wreck them!)

Seriously: Is there an easy way (yeah, I know, "easy") to add/remove/adjust the slides parameters? I would like to see how to change size (I think I have), plus add or remove slides and changing the number of them, change the slide and layout size and changing the transition from slide to fade... Are these easy to do?...

I am happy that you like the templates ;)

You can visit the slides js site for instructions on changing the various javacript options. You can add more slides, etc by editing the includes/templates/responsive_apparel_boutique/common/tpl_home_slider.php file. The slide show dimensions can be changed in the stylesheet_slides.css file.

Sorry to keep asking, but my results... I added a new image (rapslide6.jpg where the other slides are (images/banners/). I added the slide listing in the store's Banner Manager, and matched the info set up of the other five rapslide images already there. Then I went to tpl_home_slider.php file, copied the rapslide5 code and pasted it in after the 5 code and changed it to 6:

(so now there's 1 through 6)

Refresh the main page but it still shows only 5... Did I miss a step?

There are more steps involved. You are creating a new banner group. If you do a search on the forum you will find several how to's about this ;) You will also need to add the database info. See the sql patch for details on what needs to be added to the database.

Thanks,

Anne

A-Ha! You're trying to TEACH me something! (Grateful!) Let's see how I do flying solo on this one...

Let me know if you need help ;) I have to spend some time creating patches for the new templates---just found a bug! but I will have time to help you if you get stuck.

Thanks,

Anne

OK, I was successful at adding the info manually to the database by MySQL, which is where I have some experience. Where I don't have experience with is in these sql files, and I wanted to ask, if I were to create the following and save it as an sql file, would it work?

Here's the code I came up with:

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES
(NULL, 'Banner Display Groups - Rapslide6', 'SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SETRAP6', 'rapslide6', 'Rapslide 6', @configuration_group_id, 34, NOW(), NULL, NULL);

INSERT INTO banners (banners_id, banners_title, banners_url, banners_image, banners_group, banners_html_text, expires_impressions, expires_date, date_scheduled, date_added, date_status_change, status, banners_open_new_windows, banners_on_ssl, banners_sort_order) VALUES
('', 'rapslide6', 'http://www.picaflor-azul.com', 'banners/rapslide6.jpg', 'rapslide6', NULL, '0', NULL, NULL, '0001-01-01 00:00:00', NULL, '1', '1', '1', '0');

Does this kind of code need any headers or closing statements? (Yes, I AM a student at all of this...)

Thanks for your help!

love these templates and especially the responsive designs.. can't wait for the andover modern to be converted.. wish i could figure it out myself.. :)

do you give a full list of the changes to the old template so that those of us who are using the old, non-responive versions, can manually update our templates - since we probably have made many customizations and can't just override the template files.
