Winchester Black Responsive Template

After installing this template i cannot add any attribute values. When i try to insert i come up with WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. any ideas?

A little more information would be helpful like what version of Zen Cart and PHP you are using? Is there anything in the log file (myDebug)?

I really love this template and I am using it on a revamped site (in testing stage) but I have a slight issue that I hope someone can help me with.

I am running zc1.5.4 with fresh install, as I couldn't get this to implement successfully on 1.5.5 on my test site. I also want to run the shopping cart in a sub directory as my main site is built in html and with lots of back links, so couldn't lose those. I have created my main site to look very much like this template and all is going well...however, on the main site I have a contact page already set up and do not require the contact page in the shopping cart as well.

My question is...the link in the header goes directly to the page in the shopping cart and all I want to do is change the link to go to my main contact page or remove the link entirely. I can get the footer 'contact us' to go to the external link but not the nav link. I have been through the files, but cannot seem to find the actual link to change. Hope someone can help

No worries, after a bit of digging I finally found where I can edit the link. Simple when you know where to look. Looking forward to adding my products now :D

I have a few questions:
cart: 1.5.5f new install no addons yet
link: http://kattskritters.com/store/

How to get rid of the text:

1. in upper banner (both texts)
2. in the banner text (tried deleteing the name in banner manager but it won't let me and obviously make green dot red took out the slide show entirely)
3. take off the grey bar leaving only the dots in the lower right corner

Sorry to bump this again but does anyone knnow how I can do the above on her new store. It is probably fairly simple but for the life of me all that I have thought to try will not let me.

UPDATE on situation...I finally found where to get rid of top banner/text, YAY

I have gone to configuration/Carousel Featured Products/ set description to false and yet the description (I take it those are the wording on the banners) are still there.

Its been a few years since I used this template, but if memory serves:
The text that appears is the title of each slide - the slides are in admin tools/banner manager - so there should be a group of slides with a group name of Homepageslide (or something like that). To have no text at all, simply delete the title of the individual slide. Or turn a slide off completely (or change the photo, or the sequence) right there in the Banner Manager.

The 'dots' on the right indicate that there are 5 slides turned on. If you add or subtract slides the number of dots will change accordingly.

If you are choosing to have no text at all in that lower bar you can disappear the bar in your css stylesheet - I forget what it is called but should should be able to identify it by using F12 and selecting to view that element. As I recall there is a level of transparency set for that bar and you can change it to 100% to make the bar disappear.

OK, yes I tried to remove the title text from the banner manager, but it will not let me, it says that it MUST have a title (not at all like versions1.3.9 would let us.

I found turning the dot to red does make it go away entirely but that is not what she wants.

I went in to change the names on the banners to match the images but that did not make it go away. I checked for sort order and they are all set to 0 so will try making them into an order to be seen.

Also I just discovered that the social media buttons at the bottom need to have the right link and not the creators links but I can't find the right file, I looked in all the css directory files, common files and template ones but maybe I was looking too hard and just don't see them...know what file to change it in?

Thank you

Social media links are edited in 'Shared Connect' - under admin tools/footer - I think at bottom of list and it looks like a blank line in the menu. There was a problem in Picaflor's Responsive Sheffield Blue with editing these links - they turned to gobbedly gook and had to be changed directly in the database, but I don't recall having that problem in Winchester Black - should be able to edit them right in the tools menu.

The homepage slider is not same thing as Featured Products Carousel. The slides are defined in the banners manager. I'm not sure about removing the titles completely - I just customized to my own text. However I did vary the number of slides - the 5 dots in your screen shot indicate you have 5 slides active. Is this what you want/have your own custom images? If not you can turn them off in the banner manager main page - change status to red/off from green/on.

If the banner manager won't permit no-title, perhaps a short custom title that works with the slide content, or, find the css for the title and change color to transparent or display:none (?) Probably same for the dots if you want to keep multiple slides but no dots.

Thanks for helping an old woman, I will go take a looksee, I never thought to set the social area in admin, years ago they were located in a file in the template folder...LOL How time flies.

Will let you know if I go totally bald with these changes if they don't behave.

Reporting back and your idea was very helpful.

for social buttons I went to admin/tools/blank line/ and changed the links and it totally removed the buttons and text, left it blank. I had to go to database for the flexible footer menu. I entered the text there after deleting the mess that was in there. Seems when you edit it in the admin area it may appear right but in the database it gets mess up. The < > and " " were totally replaced with I guess shortcuts you would do on a pc. After I entered the actual text the buttons appeared on the main store page once more and work!

The banner was a bit different. I went to the file for the stylesheet_flex.css and found the two area to change which were an added the display: none; to them made myself a cheat info text for them too...LOL

/* gets rid of buttons in slider name area*/
.flex-control-nav {display: none;background: none;position: absolute;bottom: 12px;right: 7px;text-align: center;padding: 15px 10px;max-width: 978px;width: auto;z-index: 2;}

/takes off the text bar and text/
.banner span {display: none;background-color: rgba(46, 50, 51, 0.8);color: #fff; bottom: 12px;height: auto;line-height: normal;text-indent: 18px;position: absolute;font-size:200%;width: 100%;padding: 15px 0;text-transform: uppercase;}

Since her images are not linked we do not need the dots and she totally did not want the bar/text so this works. now with my cheat sheet I can go back and change it should she change her mind.

In the older versions in the .css files I used to make at the top /---- B of My Edits ----/ then /---- E of My Edits ----/ and move all edits I did in between those two so I could find those files easier. Can that still be done with these responsive files wihtou breaking the responsiveness?

Just letting you know that the tips worked well and the store is behaving so far.

When I print out my packing slips I have the images displayed, for easier inventory pulling, on the packing slip.
They had been displaying fine but since I installed the template they are now stretched out of shape in height.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, to PicaFlor, I tried to donate but it never asked me for card info so I am not sure how that worked out.

Better ask this in the superorders thread, as you will have a better chance. This has little to do with the template.> wsworx:

I'll post there as well but I don't know how it could have little to do with the template when it didn't do it until have after the template was installed or am I missing something?

The packing slip is backend, and the template frontend. Those two rarely have impacted on eachother.

So a little update for those interested.
While the Winchester black template was not the direct cause of the image stretch issue it was installing the template that caused the issue, chalk it up to still learning thank you, as I also am using Image Handler and it requires files be in your includes/modules/YOUR TEMPLATE and includes/templates/YOUR TEMPLATE files. So once those files were dropped in the issue went away.

Is anyone else having issues with the Winchester Black News Archive table layout on the main page?

If I click on the sidebox "Latest News [more]" it will open the "News Archive" on the Main page. But when it opens the formatting does not work as it shows only one column with all of the information stacked inside of it. If I just change templates to "Responsive Classic" and refresh the page all looks as it should with the dates in one column and the New Articles in a second column. Maybe I am the only one who cannot find where the issue arrises from but I am fairly new to PHP and Zen Cart!

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Winchester Black

Responsive Classic

OK with all of the assistance I got on here! Yes I am being sarcastic!!

I found that I needed to go to the Responsive Classic Template CSS folder and copy the STYLESHEET_NEWS_BOX_MANAGER.CSS and drop it into the CSS folder of Winchester_black and Winchester_responsive. Only then did the News Archive table look as it was supposed to look.

This was before

and this is after I dropped in the CSS file.

As you can see the Table took shape.

and the text is in the table but the links are white until you hover or select them then they turn orange!

Sorry best I could do on this pict as I took it with my phone while I had the links highlighted.

Now if I can teach myself CSS and how to change just the link colors to

Black text or maybe leve it white but give it a Black background in the table would be the easiest fix!

Anyone out there willing to give me a hand PLEASE. As any changes I attempt effects the whole template not just the News Archive Table!

Here is the small amount of code form the STYLESHEET_NEWS_BOX_MANAGER.CSS file.

Can anyone assist me!

#newsscrollbox ol { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-position: inside; }

#moreNewsDefault .news_header { font-weight: bold; padding-right: 0.3em; }
#moreNewsDefault .newsContent { padding: 0.3em 0; }

#news-table { display: table; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin: 0.8em 0;}
.news-row { display: table-row; border: 1px solid #444; }
.news-heading { font-weight: bold; }
.news-cell { display: table-cell; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #444; }

Supposedly the News Archive section will not work because :

Quote I pulled from an email I received on this same subject! > The News archive that you are talking about is not native zen cart fucntionality. It is an add on plugin. The template packages are compatible with any stable, properly installed plugins. If the plugin is not responsive then you will need to convert it to be responsive.
** UN-Quote**

One simple CSS file dropped into the CSS folder of both templates and hopefully a small amount of CSS code and it is fixed in Winchester_black!!

The CSS file moved into the Winchester_responsive templates CSS folder fixed it !
