Winchester Responsive

Laszlo:

Hi All,

I started getting this error in my logs:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function count_contents() on a non-object in ../gifts4baby.ie/includes/templates/winchester_responsive/common/tpl_header.php on line 106

I tracked it down to Google bot visits to the site.

The template tries to display how many items are in the cart in the top right of the page and it accesses $_SESSION['cart'] to do that.

The problem is _SESSION['cart'] does not exist when bots visit (no session is created by Zencart) so the fatal error occurs.

The issue though is that this seems to work fine on an empty test store I set up in 20 minutes, so it appears that the Winchester template somehow manages to have something meaningful in $_SESSION['cart'] when a bot visits, on my test store, but not the real store.

Perhaps I have some customisation that causes this.

Anyway I am trying to understand how does the template get _SESSION populated for a bot.

Any help would be appreciated.

As things stand, the bot does not see anything other than the very top of the page and dies when displaying the cart content in the top right corner so site indexing is very broken by Google.

Thanks,

Laszlo

This is not a problem with the template out of the box. Do a test install with the un modified template to see the correct behaviour.

Thanks,

Anne

Where do I edit the links for social media?

Admin > Tools > Flexible Footer Menu

Out of curiosity, which image is supposed to follow the list of Headers on Admin/flexible_footer_menu.php ?

Apparently mine didn't load. Thanks in advance!

How can the flex slider box become more transparent, auto-sized, and the color changed? Thanks.

Figured out color and opacity. Original color best suited the opacity. Just looking to auto-size the banner according to the size of the text.

Add to the /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css appropriately :

.banner span {background-color: rgba(46, 50, 51, 0.8);}
.banner span {opacity: 0.7;}

I love your template! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into it!

I am using a mailing list company, MadMimi. I'd like to add something on my site that allows people to subscribe to the mailing list. I created a sidebox, which works fine. However, it only shows up when I view my site on a desktop, not on a mobile phone. I understand that it wouldn't make sense for all the left sideboxes to show up on a phone. But I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a strategy for this. I'd like to have a signup for the mailing list show up on a phone as well. Would you suggest putting the signup in the footer instead of a sidebox? Or is there a way to put it in the footer only for mobile viewing, but to leave it in a sidebox for desktop viewing? If so, how would I specify that it should only be displayed in the footer for mobile viewing? I only see a single tpl_footer.php in
includes/templates/winchester_responsive/common/. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I would add it either to the header or the footer, or perhaps in the mobile menu. You could leave it in a sidebox on landscape tablets and larger and then have it in the mobile menu for portrait tablets and smaller.

If you want to create a separate footer for mobiles then you can create the file tpl_footer_mobile.php. Then in the tpl_main_page.php look at the way the mobile header file is called and copy that code to the footer location in the file to call the mobile footer file.

Thanks,

The template looks and functions great except i have learned that the popup or mouse-over for the image attribute isnt working on any browsers I have tried. Firefox, IE, opera and android mobile. Is there a way to resize the image or to get the popup to work? Right now the image is 325px × 395px (scaled to 57px × 69px) 57 x69 is really hard to see. I cant see any where in admin to increase size of attribute images or find anywhere to ensure popup is working. All help is appreciated.

Thanks

If you post a link to a page on your site with the problem I can take a look.

Popup or mouse over for image attributes is not native functionality. My guess is that you have not installed the plugin correctly.

Strange, it used to work. I never installed a plugin.

The attribute images hover/pop out if you switch the template to the classic template?

Is it possible to have a "View Full Site" option while viewing with a mobile device. Essentially bypassing / defeating the responsiveness of the temple?

Thanks!

Yes, you should be able to use the link:

index.php?main_page=index&layoutType=full

Hi Anne,

I gave it a try on a local dev using the FF Web Dev Responsive Design View and it didn't seem to make a difference? I'm using v1.3 of the template.

Thanks

Unfortunately, it's not live as yet...what file(s) parses the layoutType=full. Maybe I've inadvertently changes them...

Thanks Anne!

Where is the edit feature for
Custom Left Slide Out? ( Specials? )

I don't want it, don't need it, and can't find it.

I have turned off/deleted the banner manager stuff that I don't need
Killed ( turned off left side stuff on the Column boxes)
Searched via Developer's tool kit to find it.

I don't need, nor want this slide out menu that I can't find to edit:

I removed it as follows:
Find the file: includes/templates/winchester_responsive/common/tpl_main_page.php
Before making any changes, make a backup copy of this file.

Search for this line:

<!--(EOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->

Below that line, remove everything until the bottom line:

 </body>

So, the bottom of my file looks as follows:

<!--(EOF - 2.1) Responsive DIY Template Default for 1.5.x (65)-->
<!-- removed slider code -->
</body>
