CosmosK:

hmm, well I removed formatting and it seemed to fix itself. Thanks

You need to be careful if you use a wysiwyg editor as many times they produce bad code that will break the responsive layout.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anna,

Regarding font-awesome, there seems to be a typo in the latest html_header.php ... the link still reads version 4.0.3.

Yes, this was posted earlier in the thread and I have it on a list for a future update.

Thanks,

Anne

Daba_do:

What would be the best way to change the "buy now" buttons on the featured products to "details" like on the "view all products" page?

Thanks in advance.

Great template, great community.

You can edit the includes/modules/override/featured_products.php vile

Thanks,

Anne

God day,

I desperately need a new look for my website as I have been using the same base template for a number of years now. (See link in signature)

I truly like this template and installed it on a dummy (copy of live) site here astro.technopro.co.za

The product details page and the product listing pages however lists the details only at the bottom of the page after all the left sideboxes. I turned sideboxes on and off to see if it may be related to any of them but to no avail.

Could you please advise what could cause this.

What should it look like? This doesn't seem like intended layout.

Remove that file:
includes>template>westminster_new>css>stylesheet_flexible_footer_menu.css

Download the previous version of the flexible footer menu (flexible_footer_menu_v1_2) and compare the following files with those of westminster_new template:

includes>template>westminster_new>common>tpl_footer.php
includes>template>westminster_new>templates>tlp_flexible_footer_menu.php

Compare those files in the new version of the flexible footer menu (flexible_footer_menu_ML_1) with these of the previous version of the flexible footer menu (flexible_footer_menu_v1_2)

Then adjust the flexible_footer_menu_ML_1 files accordingly.

You may have to re-assign the flexible menu columns etc in your admin.

The link is not working so I can not see the problem. It sounds like you have broken the responsive layout. What changes have you made?

Thanks,

flexible_footer_menu_ML_1 DOES NOT alter any of the TEMPLATE files for this template or any of Anne's templates using this plugin (it was done that way to make upgrade to custom templates easy),

nor does it alter the TEMPLATE files from flexible_footer_menu_v1_2

In other words, you don't need to upload or compare any /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/ folders or files. I will update readme accordingly.

The MULTILINGUAL flexible footer menu is now available in the plugins downloads ...

My apology. The link is astro.technopro.co.zahttp://astro.technopro.co.za

On my end these files contents (both versions) are different from that of the template. That's the way I had to proceed for the footer to look like the template's, without having to modify any css. If you got an easier method please do share ... and thanks again for the plugin!

I see your product info pages are broken. Check the page for html errors like tags that are not closed, etc. You can use the w3c html validator to find errors.

Thanks,

Are there any plans to incorporate a script to add meta tags to easy pages? There is one called easy pages meta tags, but I haven't got the hang of winmerge. There were a huge number of differences in my .php and those for easy pages meta tags.

picaflor-azul:

The sitemap link in the header menu in the demo does work. It is true that if you click on general info, you get the page not found.

You can fix the link by changing this:

For multiple languages sites, replacing this with the following pulls "General Info" in other languages.

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SITE_MAP); ?>"><?php echo TITLE_GENERAL; ?></a>

The easiest way I found to add meta_tags to ez-pages is by editing the meta_tags.php file in

\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\

In that file there's a bit of guidance on how to do it:

// EZ-Pages meta-tags.  Follow this pattern for all ez-pages for which you desire custom metatags. Replace the # with ezpage id.
// If you wish to use defaults for any of the 3 items for a given page, simply do not define it.
// (ie: the Title tag is best not set, so that site-wide defaults can be used.)
// repeat pattern as necessary
  define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_EZPAGE_#','');
  define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_EZPAGE_#','');
  define('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_#', '');

No, I will probably not be adding that plugin to the template package.

Thanks,

Yes, this is true.  The plugin has the advantage of not having to edit a php file.  You can add them directly through the zen cart admin.

Thanks,

Anne

Why bloat this theme with something that not all site owners need or want??? Not everyone uses EZ Pages.. If this plugin ever becomes part of core Zen Cart, that's one thing.. Until then it's easy enough to download and install this module if you need/want it.. Suggest you find a better file merging tool like Beyond Compare.. (Which is not free, but is a better merging tool IMHO than the very free WinMerge)

Personally I think that the entire meta tagging process in Zen Cart needs a MODERN overhaul.. That includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\meta_tags.php file is a PITA to maintain on a dynamic site. And for those pages where you have no customer entry in the meta tags file, the way that meta tags are auto populated is wrong. (keywords are no longer a relevant tag, title and description should not be the SAME on all pages, and could/should be generated using some intelligence to detect and output the correct content for the default tag values)

I need some help. My site is at https://www.zappasbirds.com/shop

I installed the addon module, Add additional pages to the more information sidebox, which DrByte just updated to work with v1.5.4

It all works but there is now a problem with the display of the links. Below is a pic of what I mean...

The only file that was overwritten durring the plugin install was...

includes/templates/westminster_new/templates/tpl_site_map_default

So it has to be somehow tied to that, but I have been up all night trying to find the right file to correct it. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance. :wacko:

The template comes with the includes/modules/sideboxes/override/more_information.php file and the includes/templates/override/sideboxes/tpl_more_information.php

My guess is that you have not properly merged the files in the plugin with the files in the template package.

Thanks,

Anne

I am using this template, and when I view the site on a mobile, the sideboxes still show even though I have them set to off for min-width. I looked at the template demo, but the demo only seems to have the responsive template on the home page, so I can't tell what it is supposed to do on other pages. Am I misunderstanding what the setting to turn off sideboxes @ min-width is for? Is there a way to turn off the sideboxes on mobile devices? Thanks!

The template demo shows all pages of the zen cart. If you want to view the responsive design using a desktop and an emulator you need to use these urls after you go to the demo and switch to the template you want to view:

Tablets:

http://www.zenlyzen.com/responsive-zen-cart-templates/index.php?main_page=index&display_mode=isTablet

Phones:

http://www.zenlyzen.com/responsive-zen-cart-templates/index.php?main_page=index&display_mode=isMobile

You need to set the sideboxes to off for @min-width to not show them on portrait tablets and landscape and portrait phones. If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Thanks,

Anne
