mcclaine:
Thank you for the reply. However its hard to understand what to do because that post is phrased like statements. Take number two for example
"2 - /includes/functions/extra_functions/zca_responsive_functions.php
This was added in v1.5.5"
"This was added in v1.5.5". So it was added. What am i supposed to do this this knowledge? Delete this file? Replace it? Ignore it?
Number five states that some code has changed from one thing to another. Do i change it back, deleting the new code in the process? Wouldn't this break ZC v1.5.5 some how?
All six point come across as statements instead of how to's. I am a novice, I don't feel confident just deleting/replacing/modifying without breaking something. That is why I have come here for advice and to learn.Maybe one day in the future I can pay-it-forward and help someone with what I have learnt here today.
No, understood that as being new to this whole thing of ZC, php, mysql, html, etc... that there is likely to be some confusion. Expressing the current understanding, what has been attempted and what is not understood (as provided above) helps others to guide down the next step.
So on that, I'll give you the issue of item 2. I haven't tried to apply/install Anne's templates to ZC 1.5.5 yet. But, considering that rbarbour is one of the founding developers of the responsive template to ZC, I imagine that everything listed affects the ability to use templates like this on ZC 1.5.5.
On the issue of concern of making a mistake, that is why it is suggested to create a development version of your site. On the development version, you make changes, make mistakes, but the live site is unaffected and that way there is also a "backup" available to undo the mistake(s) made.
So, that in mind, here is the approach I would take with the instructions provided. Considering that item 2 describes a file that has been added, I would wait until the end to address that item just to see how it affects the overall process. The other items, I would either replace the file in its entirety if so suggested or in the case of replacing some code, I would search for the from code and replace with the to code. Overall reason is that ZC 1.5.5 has these equivalent files in place and the template(s) have those same files but with different code. Rbarbour has identified the code that is essential for continued operation in ZC 1.5.5 and therefore by using the ZC 1.5.5 applicable code, operation ought to be restored. Please don't forget the added assistance of DrByte regarding the jscript related files as well... and of course any other suggested patches/fixes.
