Westminster New

picaflor-azul:

It sounds like you have the right hand column turned on in the avonlee contempo. The westminster has the right hand column turned off. If both templates are on the same cart, you would have to change the layout settings in admin--configuration when switching templates.

Thanks,

Anne

That did the trick. Thank you.

I am happy that you figured it out ;)

Hi there :)

I just noticed that the search bar on the home screen seems to be missing. Is there a way to get it back?

Thanks :)

I also noticed when I go back to the avonlee that the > separator was missing between the category name and count. I set the symbol in config but I only get the symbol in categories that have sub categories. I.e. if there are no sub categories then the separator doesn't show. Would you have any thoughts on this?

Cheers,

Gary

Please ignore this for now - trying to figure it out from a backup of the site before installing the Westminster.

If you turned it off you can turn it back on in admin--tools--layoutboxes controller

This is also a change in the layout settings for the templates.

Yes I found it - thanks for following up.

I have another question: is there a tutorial or readme on how to customize the top menu? i.e add/remove menu items, change names i.e. change "Conditions of Use" to "Terms and Conditions"?

BTW - it is indeed a great template.

Worked like a charm...thanks Anne! Not sure how I managed to turn it off in the first place! LOL!

The easiest way to find out which files you need to edit is to use the admin--tools--developers toolkit ;)

Hi,

Is there a quick way to center the flexible footer content the same way it is on winchester_black?

Thanks,

Thanks,

I don't understand. The footer content is the same in these 2 templates.

Thanks,

Have anyone install the MSRP mod for the Westminster New?

Thank You,

Any stable, correctly installed plugin will work with the template. As always, if there are the same files in the plugin package and the template package then you will need to merge the files.

Hi there, thanks for this amazing template! The flexibility of the mobile detect is awesome :)

One question (not sure if it's been covered before - couldn't find it) is there a way of switching between desktop & mobile sites manually? So a link on the mobile site to "show desktop version" and maybe a link on the desktop site to switch back to the mobile version?

I've tried googling it and the only references I can find are to using cookies to set the version and then redirect back to the desktop site (when you have 2 versions of a website) obviously this doesn't apply to this situation though :(

Thanks!

Thanks! I can not take credit for the php mobile detect integration though. This is based on rbarbour's DIY Template Default Package, so kudos go to him ;)

You can switch use these urls:

your url.com/index.php?main_page=index&display_mode=isDesktop

your url.com/index.php?main_page=index&display_mode=isMobile

your url.com/index.php?main_page=index&display_mode=isTablet

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne, the URL's are kind of working to switch layouts, it's not 100% though?

For example the site switches from mobile to desktop when the "view desktop" link is clicked but the mobile menus are still rendered instead of the desktop ones, the left column is missing as per the mobile version and the center column that displays the top level categories is still 1 product per row instead of 3 per row (as per the desktop version)

I've added a new check for the 'isDesktop' to alter the viewport so that a user can zoom etc

<?php
if ($_SESSION['display_mode']=='isDesktop') { ?>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=yes" />
<?php } else {?>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<?php } ?>

which is working fine?

Ive seen the mobile detect code towards the bottom of the html_header.php file which looks to control the loading of the stylesheets etc and tried tweaking it but nothing seems to fix it properly?

Thanks

Tony

Just a quick update - I think it've just about got it working :)

There is a logic error in the mobile detect in the template - nothing major and most people probably won't want to switch templates like I am doing but just in case they do!

html_header.php change the follwing line

if ($detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() or $detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() && $_SESSION['display_mode']=='isMobile' or $detect->isTablet() && $_SESSION['display_mode']=='isMobile' or $_SESSION['display_mode']=='isMobile') {

    echo $responsive_mobile;

to

if ($detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() && !$_SESSION['display_mode']=='isDesktop' or $detect->isMobile() && !$detect->isTablet() && $_SESSION['display_mode']=='isMobile' or $detect->isTablet() && $_SESSION['display_mode']=='isMobile' or $_SESSION['display_mode']=='isMobile') {

    echo $responsive_mobile;

The first code checks for a mobile device (but not a tablet) and returns true because - well it is true, but it doesn't check for the isDesktop in the $SESSION so it also catches anyone who is on a mobile but has chosen to view the desktop version.

The same code is also in tpl_main_page.php and needs tweaking - this now fixes the column layouts and the missing left column and shows the correct desktop header but I am still missing the desktop main menu... I'll keep digging :)
