Westminster New

SignTorch:

it throws a script error then displays the default green template

'jQuery' is undefined
File: index.php, Line: 26, Column: 17

Strange, it is working for me. Maybe you need to be using chrome. I found the emulator in the chrome web store.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Westminster New

RixStix:

If you find something that more functional on Android devices, I am interested but coding is not my forte'. The menu collapse is why I put a link to the "renamed sitemap" calling it "Alternate Main Menu" in the footer as a stopgap measure but was hoping that the latest template update would have corrected the menu shortcomings.

I can appreciate that Android device behavior can be problematic since template functions a bit differently in every browser.... Native Samsung, Chrome, FireFox and LastPass. Phone, 7", 8" & 10" The 7" is detected as a phone.

Given the vast number of different Android devices, I can also see where it is difficult to impossible for developers to test every combination, unlike Apple devices which only have a handful of combinations.Can't test on all devices, but there are options out there that work well on both platforms.. So I will continue to look for one because I can take my client's site live with the current menu..

RixStix:

Functionality using a mouse on the emulator is not the same as using touch on a real tablet.Agreed!!! That's why I test on the physical devices.. Not to mention these emulators often show things shifted.. Like the site I'm using this template on, the hamburger icon shows as if it's overlaying the logo in the emulator, but it's in the right position on the actual device..

Ok, if you come across a menu that works better for you, just let me know or post the code here and I will include it. It has to be a compatible license with the GPL and work on all mobile devices.

Thanks,

Anne

Yes Anne, I'll share, but so it's clear, I am willing to find a menu that doesn't fully validate using the HTML validation tool as long as the user interactions work, and it doesn't throw any PHP or javascript errors.. I know that the HTML validator is a requirement for you. However, I do not consider ALL the results gospel in this way because I know that the HTML validator OFTEN flags things as "invalid" that are in fact NOT.. So yes I'll share what I find for those folks using your template who want to eliminate usability issues with Android devices, but my objective is a WORKING error free menu not HTML VALIDATION..

Rick and Diva,

Please do me a favor, and take a look at this site that I just completed on your androids and see if the menu behaves better:

Thanks,

Quick look at menu functionality using
generic 7", menu functionality good.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8": Chrome, FireFox, LastPass & Samsung browsers functionality good. ie: no menu to collapse

You didn't ask about this but noticed
Formatting: Firefox: logo.jpg does not resize in portrait mode so sale.jpg overlaps logo.jpg
Formatting: Chrome: logo.jpg does resize in portrait mode so no overlap of sale.jpg
Formatting: Product pages: individual product widths overlap in portrait mode.

Is the area below the slideshow part of the menu categories? Responsive formatting portrait vs landscape

my browser is fine, chrome also displays the default green template

I think the URL should have &template_switch_id=westminster_new

then it works...

Re: Westminster New

I have found that the drop down menu also exhibits the same behaviour (disappearing as you scroll) on my iPad using Safari. I notice all the comments so far are android related, so thought I would chip in...

Good to know that it's NOT JUST the Androids having the issue..

Re: Westminster New

Found another buglet. In this file: includes/templates/westminster_new/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php

this:

<li><a href="<?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_SITE_MAP; ?>">General Info</a>

Probably SHOULD be this:

<li><a href="#">General Info</a>

What's currently in place points to an invalid URL.

Thanks for the catch! I'll be sure to add this to a new list for the next update.

Also, not a BIG DEAL, but it's probably better that the menu label also be put into a language file..

Re: Westminster New

DivaVocals:

Download Zen Colorbox and test it if you like.. The responsive bits are found in this file: ** 1_Installer_Files/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jquery.colorbox-min.js**. (commits for this change can also be found here: https://github.com/daniel-hopkins/zen-colorbox/commit/067403c63e7945ec38b38f4cd12b35a5048bf79f)

The code that makes Zen Colorbox responsive is found in the underlying Colorbox library which Zen Colorbox is based on. http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/. Here's the reference to the Colorbox library updates to make it responsive: https://github.com/jackmoore/colorbox/issues/183#issuecomment-42039671

Slimbox which Zen Lightbox is based on IS NOT RESPONSIVE and has not been updated in over 5 years.. So EVEN IF Zen Lightbox was responsive (which it is not) the library it's based on is not being maintained, and therefore Zen Lightbox is OBSOLETE (which is why the active maintainer is NOT making any further updates to it).. Out of respect for this support thread, any additional discussion about Zen Lightbox or Zen Colorbox should be posted on the appropriate support forums for these modules..

Yes it's nicer than the default popup. Thanks!

I just submitted an update to the template package:
... * updated flexible footer menu to latest version ...

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

Is it this latest version that is not multilingual ?

I can't seem to get this working. I am seriously considering suicide at this stage :-(

All of the templates can be multi lingual. The only language installed natively in Picaflor Azul templates is english. If you want to use another language you need to copy the template language files to your language and then translate. The flexible footer menu used in the template does not have a mulit lingual admin interface but some one posted a solution to using this with different languages further back in the thread.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Westminster New

Hi there :)

Thank you, Anne, for another GREAT template. I am using two of your templates for both of my websites. The new one I am currently working with is Westminster New. Your read me file has been very helpful but I cannot find any instructions on how to edit the homepage drop down menus Categories, Information, Contact Us. I'd like to edit the options under the Information tab and pare it down so there are no longer sub categories and display only Shipping and Returns and About Us.

Is someone able to provide some direction on how to do this?

Thanks :)

You can edit the includes/templates/override/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php file.

Re: Westminster New

Minor code change suggestion in the includes/templates/westminster_new/common/tpl_header.php file

The original file looks like this:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>

The Westminster New template looks like this:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart" title="Shopping Cart"></i><?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();?> - <?php echo $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?></a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><i class="fa fa-check-square-o" title="Checkout"></i><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li> <?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?> <?php }?>

May I suggest this instead in a future update:

<?php //if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart" title="Shopping Cart"></i><?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents();?>  - <?php echo $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><i class="fa fa-check-square-o" title="Checkout"></i><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php //}?>

Note the inclusion of the double slashes (//) in the opening and closing of this code.. This may be anal, but if one is using a file comparison program this helps the program line up the code to better "see" and highlight the file change diffs since they are in their original positions..

I don't see any changes in the menu included in this template package.. So do I continue my own plans to find a replacement menu or are you still working on this?

Also given that there will likely be no more updates from the author of Zen Lightbox, will that module continue to be bundled into this template??
