Tableau Responsive Theme - Support Thread

spawnie69:

I just successfully updated my database from 1.39 to 1.54 on a demo shop at https://www.gelcandlecompany.com/demo2
For some reason the Categories link is no longer displaying the drop down categories.
Is this due to the dbase upgrade? Should I reinstall the tableau template again?
thanks for your help

Check Admin => configuration => layout settings => Categories Tabs ON/OFF
This needs to be set to ON

I agree does nothing. One day numnix will get around to it, I guess.

It does nothing because of the collapse/expand nature of the sideboxes. To collapse or expand the side box you are clicking on the div that holds the title (ie the link) of the sidebox, with the way the "layers" are you cannot "reach" the [more] link. You could adjust the z-index of link so it would be on top, but then you wouldn't be able to expand/collapse that sidebox.

If I were using the reviews sidebox I would just edit the templates/tableau/sideboxes/tpl_reviews_random.php file to remove the link and the [more] text from the title.

That file does not exist.

That file does not exist.

Template override system....
Look in the template default folder. Copy it to the template specific folder, then edit.

That file still did not have the link. After almost an hour of searching for the link, I commented out lines 13-15 in: includes/templates/tableau/common/tpl_box_default_left.php

//  if ($title_link) {
//    $title = '<a href="' . zen_href_link($title_link) . '">' . $title . BOX_HEADING_LINKS . '</a>';
//  }

I'm no expert, but that seems like a better idea, because it will shut down links in the top of all the left sideboxes

That was it! I thought that would never happen to me and it did. Thanks again Mike!

Two more things.

1. I would like to change the yellow color on the social media tab, around the search bar, and several other places on the site. I changed it in the configure tableau area, but that doesn't change all of it.

2. in responsive mode, I can only expand categories, not sub categories, which makes navigation more difficult than it needs to be. If there is a way of making the main category open the sub category menu only in the drop down menu, that would be best. Another option, would be to give links for the sub categories above the products once you click on the main category, since the categories side menu does not exist in the responsive form.

The second one is a better example of difficult to navigate. there are 48 products form four different sub categories, that all show up on the same page.

They say you can change colors in CSS file. Involves inspecting element and looking for it.

I too see no sub categories Wow.

I would think that seeing subcategories would be important on mobile. Has this been mentioned? I maybe incorrect but I tried using searching and found nothing. Even Sheffield blue has sub categories in mobile but no search feature. Darn.

RE: Sub Categories - The Category Menu that comes stock in the Tableau template is a one level menu. That is not a bug. If you want something with multiple sub menus you will need to install a different category menu. My guess is this was done on purpose because when on mobile you don't want to complicate things with submenus (the styling becomes quite tricky to execute.)

RE: Coloring and CSS - You will find that CSS changes on the Tableau template are rather....cumbersome. There are many style sheets, lots of use of the !important tag, a separate stylesheet.php file that seems to override actual stylesheets,etc.

If you use product reviews I may have stumbled on a minor 'bug':

It is entirely possible I'm incorrect, but I think part of the file includes\classes\observers\nmx_structured_data\class.breadcrumbs.php

doesn't validate (http://www.w3.org) because this code: on line 48:
'<meta itemprop="author" content='.$reviews->fields['customers_name'].'">'.

should be:
'<meta itemprop="author" content="'.$reviews->fields['customers_name'].'">'. ​​​​

The change is an addition of a " at the end of content=

I tried the developers toolkit, and searching for #CAF200, which is the color used, and nothing comes up. I will play around with it some more next week.

Thank you for that. I haven't attempted validation yet, because I have been working on other aspects.

It looks like I am going to need a drop down menu for each category in order to have the site mobile friendly. I already did the drop down information menu mentioned earlier in this thread, so I will just clone that one, and modify it.

I made a drop down menu for each sub category, and got rid of the categories drop down menu.

Waht I did is at this thread: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?218716-internal-link-to-category-number

Looks like 1.6.9 is now available from numinix at https://www.numinix.com/templates/zen-cart-templates/tableau-responsive-template
Wonder what are the latest changes. I'll ask them and report later if they reply.

From the version history: removed remaining files from Numinix Structured Data
Not sure what that means, but if you look at the change log, they removed quite a few files.

How can I add links underneath 'All Categories' in the 'Shops' left footer column?
I can't seem to find in forum. thanks
