Carlisle Fresh Template Support Thread

jolliejollie:

Hi. Just wanna make sure, is this template compatible with zen cart v1.5.4? And for the slideshow, the size of the pictures I wanna use are different from those in the demo. Will the size of the slideshow be automatically adjusted or can it be manually adjusted? Thanks.

Yes, the template is compatible with 1.5.4.

The width of the template is 980 pixels wide so this is the max width you can use. I am not sure if the slide show will adjust automatically or not. Add your slides and see. If they don't adjust you will need to make css changes.

Thanks,

Anne

I'm wrestling with the ezpages. I finally got them to show in the header dropdown and the footer (after fixing my own dumb mistake), but now they're also showing up in the sideboxes.

I have them set to show up in an "Important Links" sidebox, that's working how I want. But once I enabled the ezpages in the header dropdown, they started showing under my "Search" sidebox as a bulleted list. Example: http://whatthecraft.com/test/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

Any thoughts on what's causing it? I would cheat and do the old display:none trick in CSS, but the links don't seem to be styled in a way that would make that possible.

If you don't want the ezpages sidebox to show you can turn if off in your admin--tools--layoutboxes controller.

Thank you! I tried that before, but I think I must have turned off the Single Column status as well, which caused it to disappear from the header menu.

And thank you for making these awesome free templates. I think this is the third template of yours that I've used. :D

picaflor-azul:

This is a bug in the DIY template original code. You can fix it by editing the includes/templates/carlisle_fresh/common/html_header.php file. Change this:

if (COLUMN_WIDTH == '0') {

> 
> to this:
> 
> ```
if (COLUMN_WIDTH == '0' || (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'popup_image,popup_image_additional')) )) {

Anne, it worked for me with my v1.5.4 but now I cannot work out which set of numbers I have to alter under admin/configuration/images to change to make the popup image larger.

Great work Anne keep up the very good work

If you add the code fix, the popup image will be the same size as your large size product image

Thanks,

So there is no way to make the popup image bigger?

The popup will only be as large as the large size image _LRG. This is native zen cart functionality

So, lets see if I understand what you are saying Anne; if I want a big popup image, I have to tag with '_LRG'? If yes, then how do I have a large popup for the additional images as they are tagged '_1' etc? E.g. Main picture is mainpic.jpg and others are mainpic_1.jpg, mainpic_2.jpg

What a stupid question. I have found the answer.

I know this is nothing to do with this post, but, do you know of a quick way to re-label all my images from mainpic.jpg & mainpic_1.jpg to mainpic_LRG.jpg mainpic_LRG_1.jpg and re-pointing all the 110 products I have put up? (I really cannot explain what I want to do, can I?)

Do you have image handler installed? It will create the different sizes of images needed on the fly ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne, I will put one on.

I'm not reading through this to see if this has already been covered... consider this an "FYI":

I just did a search for responsive themes. Found this one listed (it links here as its support thread anyway). The online demo that it provides IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to being responsive, and I quickly gathered its not actually a demo of this theme... yet, that's how it is being presented.

Moving on...

What is the link to the online demo that you saw?

The demo for this template is here:

http://zenlyzen.com/responsive_demo/index.php?main_page=index&template_switch_id=carlisle_fresh

and, it is responsive:

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting your template wasn't responsive... I'm saying that the page linked to from the templates list shows a very much non-responsive page and people may (understandably) mistake that for your template. Find it the way anyone would... go to zencart home page, click on plugins, then Template Packages - Responsive designs, then find your listing. In it, it says:

See the live demo:

http://zenlyzen.com/responsive_demo

Hmm... ok, nevermind it works now!

Honestly, I wouldn't have posted if that's what I saw :) lol

There were no images at all beyond zen-cart's own logo, and it was decidedly NOT responsive. Temporary glitch I guess. Or you found it and fixed it between then and now. Either way, it looks fine now and sorry if it was my mistake.

I see what you mean and it is actually a problem with the template switcher. It will default back to the classic template unless the full url is used:

http://zenlyzen.com/responsive_demo/index.php?main_page=index&template_switch_id=carlisle_fresh

so it is my bad for not posting the full url in the first post of this thread and the original template description. I can update the template and submit a list of changes with the full url, but the original description will always show first in the plugins section.

Thanks,

Anne

I installed this theme a month ago on one of my sites, and everything is working great. Yay! But now I'm trying to install it on another site and have run into problems.

As soon as I install the sql patches, something screwy happens with my language files. The mega menu at the top starts showing HEADER_TITLE_CATEGORIES instead of "Shop" and so on.

The oddest thing is that this exact same thing happened when I installed it on my other site the first time. I thought I'd messed something up (uploaded in the wrong place or uploads were incomplete). I uninstalled and started over and then it worked.

But this time around, I tried three times and it broke the language file every time, no matter how meticulous I was. I only figured out yesterday that it was as soon as I ran the sql patches that things went wonky.

So this time I skipped the patches. I uploaded the theme files and at first glance, it seemed like things were running okay. But I just tried to access the Layout Boxes Controller, and that page is broken. I get the following error:

"WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again."

So I uploaded a fresh layout_controller.php from the theme files, double and triple checked that it uploaded completely. It still doesn't work. Could this be related to not running the sql patches? And if so, is there a way to remedy it without running the sql patches?

Have you looked at the installation instructions in the readme.html file? You do need to upload the sql patches. It sounds like you are missing template language files. This is why you are seeing the constants.

Thanks,

Yes, I followed the readme instructions and still had trouble. I started over 3 times, importing a version of my database that hadn't been patched, made sure all files were complete and in the right places... still had the same issue. Always the same language file not functioning, but I definitely ruled out the problem being with the file itself. Which is why I started tinkering with the installation instructions. (One of my bad habits.)

I just tried to replicate the problem again so I could post screenshots. I ran the sql patches one by one, checking my site after each one. This time they all ran without a problem. And now the Layout Boxes Controller works. So HURRAY!!! since the problem is fixed! But still not sure what the heck the problem was before.

The only thing I can think of is that if there's even a minor server hiccup when installing the patches, things go awry... why it would effect the same language file every time, I'm not sure. Either that or I'm doing something weird every time without realizing it... and every fifth time I do everything right. :wacko: I'm not writing that off yet. :D

Anyway, thank you again for your help and for this awesome theme!
