Dover Fine Responsive Template

Anne,
Thanks for fast response. I am new to ZC and suspect that I have my terminology wrong here. I am thinking that 3 column product display is what the Dover Fine demo is showing in below screenshot.

And here is what I have now (product in rows?)

I am trying to have products display (3 per row?) as in the Dover Fine demo above. Is this possible? And if doable could you point me in the right direction to make changes or where I might better post question for more information.
Thank you
Randy

If you want 3 products per row then you need to use the grid format.

Thanks,

I would like to incorporate the categories sidebox from this template into Westminster New. Is it as straightforward as using the tpl_categories.php and tpl_document_categories.php plus the relevant stylesheet info or are there more complicated integrations to consider?

Thanks

It is pretty straightforward. I used the menu from the fidelity template by sam wilson (thanks sam!) so you can compare the files from both templates to make sure that those are the only files involved.

Getting this error after installing and trying to access layout_controller from the Admin Tools menu ...

"We are sorry but the page you requested is no longer available, it has been moved or deleted."

Using Zen Cart 1.5.1 completely empty with just another Responsive template from you installed and nothing more, than a few css tweaks I did to the megamenus and added a few web fonts ...

Please note the file is there(under admin) I checked twice! :no:

BTW another issue related to the FORUM is not letting me post using Chrome!!!

It's been a while since I had a look at the template plugins on the website, and I have to say, I'm glad I did. What you are doing with these free templates is GREAT for the Zen Cart community! I'm thoroughly impressed, thanks.

Remove this block of code form the admin/includes/installers/dover_fine/1.0.php:

global $db;
$sql = "SELECT * from " . TABLE_LAYOUT_BOXES . " LIMIT 1";
$result = $db->Execute($sql);
$value = $result->fields['show_box_min_width'];
$type = gettype($value);
if ($type == 'NULL'){

$db->Execute("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_LAYOUT_BOXES  . " ADD show_box_min_width TINYINT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' AFTER layout_box_status_single;");

}

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks!
I did it, but unfortunately didn't work ... maybe I am missing a step, as I just noticed this installer code, that executes all the db statements, should I run that first?
I was following the html instructions step by step except the db backup explanation, which is for non techs or unfamiliar users, and then carefully checked that all the files were in place, one by one without skipping any, I didn't read the code but the only thing that's installed besides Dover is the Responsive sheffield Blue ... and a few CSS modifications I did, nothing else ...

You need to follow the installation instructions in the templates readme.html file. It is different for this template than older templates.

Thanks,

Following exactly those instructions, BTW not using Filezilla because it's not working from my desktop, so I directly uncompressed the zip file in my CP file manager inside my server, however as I already removed everything and started fresh, I am testing what differences are between your layoutcontroller.php file and the one in v153, as that seems to affect even the upgraded version, not the one I am testing now, which is a NEW installation, and is working fine with the classic template, as expected, i will test it by keeping both files, renaming the old one to something not related, and then without rewriting to see if the error persists ...

From your explanation I assume you are referring to remove these lines

global $db;
$sql = "SELECT * from " . TABLE_LAYOUT_BOXES . " LIMIT 1";
$result = $db->Execute($sql);
$value = $result->fields['show_box_min_width'];
$type = gettype($value);
if ($type == 'NULL'){

$db->Execute("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_LAYOUT_BOXES  . " ADD show_box_min_width TINYINT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1' AFTER layout_box_status_single;");

}

Only if I have another responsive theme, which is not the case now.
So I am testing both scenarios.

Test 1 - failed adding the new layout_controller.php with the responsive design amendments cause this error again >>> We are sorry but the page you requested is no longer available, it has been moved or deleted.

The Store catalog also displays this error >>>

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

It doesn't get fixed just by doing what it says though ....
:no::no::no:

So it's failing to open application_top!!! Permissions are fine at 644, no php upgrades that I know of have been performed ...

That's fixed but now I am not able to display the left column ...

My last test was to check if the installer was properly executed, so I manually checked all the affected tables, and see if the values were updated or inserted, as they should, as the SQL statements dictate. I went through configuration and layout boxes and both tables were properly updated, and the script was executed.

However I have no clue why my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1(9B206) displays the menu, but after you release your finger the menu disappears, so I am not able to select any options.

Another issue I encounter, is the left column menu is not showing up even at a full HD desktop display 1920x1080, and that's probably I was not able to reset the boxes layout controller, as it is still displaying this error message >>
We are sorry but the page you requested is no longer available, it has been moved or deleted.

Another test revealed that using the ORIGINAL layout_controller file, made the problem disappear I am checking both codes to see if I can spot what is causing this behavior, another issue I found in my iPhone 4 iOS 5.1.1, is the fact the logo is stretched vertically, will check the mobile css to see if I can find what the problem might be ...

However I still need to compare both files because in this test I simply renamed the new one in the template to something else, even changed the extension, and then renamed the back the original, and boom it worked! Now I need to check where are the differences between those two files ...

The problems that you are experiencing are atypical. It leads me to believe that there is something wrong with your zen cart install or with the template package files that you are uploading.

Thanks,

Anne

Last test I manually recreated the layout_controller.php file and the problem was SOLVED!!! :laugh::P:P:P:P:P
