Westminster New

Hi I am having a problem with the flexible_footer_menu

I have gone through the log here is the error message:-

[15-Jul-2014 21:35:15] PHP Fatal error: 1146:Table 'advisers_store.flexible_footer_menu' doesn't exist :: select * from flexible_footer_menu where status = 1 and col_sort_order > 0 order by col_sort_order, col_header ==> (as called by) /home/advisers/public_html/store/includes/modules/westminster_new/flexible_footer_menu.php on line 18 <== in /home/advisers/public_html/store/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 155

I have gone through the installation and all the files are where they should be.

I also reinstalled the file: flexible_footer_menu.php

Here is a link to the web site http://www.store.advisers-australia.com

It is still in development so it is a bit of a mess.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions :smile:

Logs file showing error in //includes/templates/westminster_new/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_categories_tabs.php on line 88

Ideas??

I am not sure what I was doing at that particular time, so I cannot recreate the issue. I have changed the Admin/Configuration/WestminsterNew EZ pages in header menu setup from true to false a few times and the error doesn't get triggered on those occasions.

I have never gotten this error with the template installed on a 1.5.3 cart.  Have you modified the file at all?  Have you tried removing everything on line 88:

Thanks,

It looks like there are a lot of other problems with the install. Are you on godaddy? What version of zen cart are you using?

Thanks,

Anne

Winmerge says there is no change from the distribution file.  My notes do not show making any change to that file either.

Hi

domain is hosted with arvixe.
I am running zencart 1.5.3

It might be easier to start again.

Thanks

Comments from customers as they peruse the site with the new template. Generally, most are very positive. These are comments pointed to us, not us to you.

• TOP button is too stark and HUGE and follows me down the page. "Can you make it smaller and add opacity to see the text beneath it" are the majority of the comments.
• Can't tell which images can be enlarged. "Existing site has text 'larger image' beneath every product image and beneath the 'add'l images found at the bottom of the product pages"
• EZ pages ToC alignment comments are frequent on all devices. We are manually building ToC for each EZpage category but it will be an issue due to relative links.
• Mobile phone devices "Can you remove the category and product images from mobile devices and just provide a text listing? It is a Pain to have to scroll through the category images to find the desired category."
• "Specials" sort is non-functional

Nothing you can do about this issue
"I can't find buttons or don't know what the button means." That's why we changed the color in anticipation of that. We never thought we would have to write an instruction manual on how to navigate a website. That's why we altered the background color of the menu area since tapping the menu text has a different function than tapping the "down-arrow". There are a couple menu text taps that actually redirect to the webhost 404 page (template download files and your demo). I saw them but didn't take notes at the time.

Don't think it is a template problem but I didn't realize that all our relative links would be broken when zencart is installed in a folder instead of server root. I assumed that the zc install would take care of that setup but not the case.

Be sure that your host meets minimum server requirements for 1.5.3. If it were me, I would just do a fresh install ;)

It is actually a mistake that the sort is on the specials page. I believe that I posted earlier in the thread about removing it.

I will try to include styles for the toc in the next version update

You can add back in the text "click to enlarge" if you like. You can do a developers toolkit to find the name of the constant, and then use the constant to search for the files where it is located. You can merge the changes back into the template files, or try removing the template files so that the template uses the default zen cart files.

You can remove any images or text from various devices by adding display:none; to them in the stylesheet_tablet.css and stylesheet_mobile.css

Anne

• Can't tell which images can be enlarged. "Existing site has text 'larger image' beneath every product image and beneath the 'add'l images found at the bottom of the product pages"

If you add back the 'larger image' text it will be too cramped. What you may want to do instead is to place a text saying 'click to enlarge' between the main image and where the additional images start.

This one puzzles me as I never had issues with having relative links broken when using the stock zencart function.

My guess is that you have either not uploaded all of the template package files, or uploaded them to the incorrect place on your server. Or, if you had modules installed on your previous template you will need to copy over the module override files to the new template override directory. This must be done with any new template install.

Hi Anne

I have fix it now thanks. I uploaded it again and its fine now.

Hi my homepage banners are not appearing. I changed the greeting message and when I saved it my banner would not work. Here is a link to my website: http://personalisedt-shirts.com/store/store/ Also how do I change these two things (picture attached).

RixStix:

We are debating on posting a note in the homepage banner that customers using Android w/Chrome browser and customers using Windows tablets will have to find an alternative browser or device.

Why didn't I think of it earlier. The answer for users whose devices do not play nice with the SlimMenu has been in the FLEXIBLE FOOTERS all along.

Setup Column 1 of Flexible Footers
Add a link to SHOP, CATEGORIES or your wording using the sort order for your desired placement in column 1.
Insert a link that will redirect to the SITEMAP.

At least in our case, the sitemap replicates our menu nicely AND allows use of the rest of the responsive features. Better than a "Desktop mode" button as long as users can find the link in the footer. Other sitemaps may not work quite as well.

I tried to use insert a Flexible Footer image but the setup has a place to use the feature, find the file locally but no upload button. The setup Update button does not upload the image file.

I was going to use an image created in the same GREEN color as the other buttons we used to help guide users who are quite as proficient with using their tablet and mobile devices. Off to look to color the text as an alternative.

The devices that I've found to not play nice with the responsive menus are:

• Android tablets using Chrome browser.
• Windows 8.1 RT tablets using IE11 (they have no option for any other browser)
• Have not tested Windows Pro tablets yet but suspect this will work if they do not play nice with SlimMenu

Hi, for your banners, it looks as though something might be broken in your \includes\languages\english\html_includes\steviadomain\define_main_page.php file. Compare this with your backup copy, if you've made any changes to it, or with the original in the template package. Also double check the greeting message changes you made to ensure only the text was changed and not any 'code'.

For the two changes, you'll find a wealth of information in the the FAQs of this forum:

Customers are having trouble finding a "LOG OUT" button in tablet and mobile devices.

Surely I am missing something because the only place I found a LOGOUT link is buried in INFORMATION => CustomerService => LOGOUT.

Can someone help find the icon if it's hidden?

Thanks for the help I got everything working except the browser title.

The log out button is not there. If you want to add it back in, you will need to edit the includes/templates/westminster_new/common/tpl_header_tablet.php and the includes/templates/westminster_new/common/tpl_header_mobile.php to add it back in:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><i class="fa fa-power-off"></i><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>

Try adding a footer_images folder to your images folder.

Hi Anne,

Thank you for the advice. The server php ver. is 5.2.17. Reloaded zen cart ver. 1.5.1

The template is now functioning as per the specs.

Justin :smile:

Thank you Anne,

That did it.

As soon as I make a button, there will be an alternate path to product categories for those devices that do not play nice with the Slim Menu and still make use of the responsive layouts.
