Responsive Apparel Boutique Template

also if we run the sql patches, we will not be able to use the old non-responive templates any more? i ask because we're using the multi-site module and many sites are run from the same database and any changes might affect the other sites since they are using your older non-responsive versions of the templates..

lidlchris:

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.

If you compare a clean copy of the original to the new responsive version you will see all the changes. I however suggest you move your customisation into the responsive version rather than the responsive into your customised version.

You'll need to ensure you have a safe backup as I haven't yet heard of anyone using multisite and installing these new templates. However I can confirm that in INDIVIDUAL usage I can stop from original (non responsive) to responsive with no issues whatsoever.

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!

No, I don't think so because it would not take the empty confiugration group id field.

Thanks,

Anne

No, the responsive template packages are really too different to just list out the changes. Not only am I converting the old templates to responsive templates, but I am also fixing all known/reported bugs and integrating in the design from scratch to (hopefully) ensure that any css or other coding issues are fixed ;)

The responsive-ness can be turned on and off in the admin so you can load any templates and use them. Also, all of the responsive files are in the template override so it really should not matter if you install a non-responsive template. The non-responsive template will not be effected or be responsive.

Yes, this is correct ;)

i was more worried about the database changes affecting my other templates than the files.. but i'm guessing those changes don't affrect the old templates?

No, the responsive database changes will not effect your other installed templates.

Thanks,

I will pm you.

The above quote isn't showing the whole thing. It was supposed to include the post that had the issue with the ACTIVATE Responsive template thing not showing. What was the end result with this please? I'm having the same problem with one of the other templates. I've tried it with this one too but had the same problem. I'm sure its something simple that I've done. Thank you in advance

Their problem had nothing to do with the template package or installation procedure ;)

To modify the footer you can edit the includes/templates/responsive_apparel_boutique/common/tpl_footer_menu.php. This is also where you will change the icons to just a plain text link. Add links, etc. in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/responsive_apparel_boutique/footer_menu_defines.php. The stylesheet used for the footer is in includes/templates/responsive_apparel_boutique/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne

Define('LINKEDIN', '<li><a href="http://www.linkedin.com">' . LinkedIn . '</a></li>');

I've now managed to create a fifth column

I dont see an option to edit previous posts ?

Thanks

I think these are related to the template rather than the system

How can i use a separate set of thumbnails for the listing pages
might have been earlier version i did it on in the past but im sure
i had a folder for sm small images in the image folder

Also how can i disable the left column on certain pages tried to
use the method for none over ride but no joy it could be me thou lol

If you wished to turn off the left hand column for the "contact us" and "terms & conditions" pages, find the following block of code
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'list_pages_to_skip_all_right_sideboxes _on_here,separated_by_commas,and_no_spaces')) ) {
$flag_disable_right = true;
}
and edit it to read
if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'contact_us,conditions')) ) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

But i couldn't find that code i tried to add it to the global left column code

Thanks
