Carlisle Fresh Template Support Thread

flax:

Hi Anne, thanks for this great template!!

here comes the most dumb of the questions in this thread... I'm configuring the template but I cannot find the "Carousel Featured Products Configuration" option right under Carlisle Fresh in the Configuration drop down menu.
(may be I eventually missed an SQL patch, but I am afraid of running them again because of the warnings)

Can you figure out my mistake?

Thanks a lot :smile:

mmm... I have replaced the language files to localize the template, could that possibly be the reason?

thanks again

Hi Anne, i really love this theme. i have only one question that i simply can't find.
(new to the responsive i guess) I have my banners all a lot larger, in height.
Where can i change that? i just can't find it. ( its a first in your great templates that I have to ask for help!)

I am so happy that you like the template and are using it on your zen cart ;)

You can edit the includes/templates/carlisle_fresh/tpl_home_slider.php file toward the bottom height:250--change to your height

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you so much, why did i not think of that myself?
probably the responsive thing.. Thank you again. it now looks like i needed it to be :D

Hi Anne - I must have broken something. On your demo, EZ Pages work just fine, but on my testing site only the title shows up - the body is blank and the footer is totally missing. What could I have messed up? Please help!
Thank you,
Magz

Whenever you have a blank page or part of a blank page check your /logs folder for errors and correct them. See the FAQ's section of this site for a tutorial about blank pages.

Thanks Anne! There was indeed an error, it callsed the default template file tpl_page_default.php. I know nothing about coding, so I "fixed" the problem by merely copying my (customized) tpl_page_default.php from the Classic "templates" directory to its Carlisle Fresh equivalent, and EZ Pages now display correctly. Before I go too far, do you foresee any potential trouble that merely copying this file might cause someplace else? It was the plain, non-responsive Classic template that I copied it from...
Thank you!

You should not copy files from one template to another. If you need to restore a file it is best to copy from the template_default directory.

There is no tpl_page_default.php file in the original template package. See the readme.html file in the template package or the template package itself for a list of files.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne - good point. I think I'm ok here, though, there was no tpl_page_default.php in the original Classic installation, either, so the file I copied must have originally come from the template_default directory. Now I also vaguely recall having the same blank body problem with EZ pages when I first started using Zen Cart a few months ago, I bet the code modification in tpl_page_default.php is the fix for this very problem and hopefully won't break anything else (so far it hasn't).
Thanks for all your help and, again, for the beautiful template!

Hello Anne,
I have my last ( i hope ) question to you also regarding the banners :D
I now have them just the way i like it ( thanks again!) but i so much want more than 5 of them. For our business they are important and can be a lot more.
I tried changing it in the js file, but no success, and in the admin you can only change 5 of them. Where can I change the number of banners ( you call them carslides)? thank you upfront!

Hi Anne - I broke something again (groan). The featured products carousel was working great at the beginning. Now, when I click the < > buttons, instead of displaying the next set of products, it behaves as if I had clicked the "back to top" button, and the url in the address bar gets /# appended to it. You can see the behavior at http://test.allstringsnylon.info - what should I check for? (This does not generate any error logs or messages.)
Thank you!

You would have to create additional banner groups and then add the code to the tpl_home_slider.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Wow! That is really strange. I would recommend back tracking through your customizations one step at a time until you figure out what you did to break it. You could also download the plugin from the plugins section and get the file list for that module and then re-upload the matching files from the template package.

Thanks,

Anne

Stranger yet - when I set "Layout Settings -> Always Show Categories on Main Page" to 0, carousel works fine, when that setting is 1, carousel <> buttons act like back to top. Any idea what might be causing this? ~m

Hello Anne, thank you, yes i did, but the 10 i have on my file will not show up at the admin page for carlisle fresh. only the 5 that are there for the carslides.
I was hoping to add a few more and can not realy find the file to say that to :D
Of course i added it to the tpl_home_slider.php, there are now 10, but only 5 availlable on the admin.

Good catch! The template is designed for categories to not show on the main page. If you want categories to show on the main page and the carousel to work you will need to customize the tpl_index_categories.php.

You also need to add them to the database. See the patch included in the template package for a guide.

OIC... Actually, with the carousel working, I think I can live without the categories on home page, I'll just make sure I feature something from each major category. Thanks Anne!

Dear Anne,
As much as i want to, and how many times i tried, i can not get it to work!
The carslide and the only 5 banners will just pop up in the admin. and when adding to the database, i get a warning that i have a mistake. I even tried only changing the names of the banners ( the jpg files) and that won't work.
I'm right now desparate to find an sollution to change and add my own more than 5 banners to your lovely template!
its a quest :D
