Responsive Sheffield Blue v2.0

swguy:

If you want a full categories menu, why not just use the built-in categories tabs?

https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/new_user_topics/categories_tabs/

You don't understand. I have the dropdown menu called "Shop" on the blue ribbon. I don't want that. What I want is a full category list across the blue ribbon. I did try the categories tabs it doesn't do the dropdown menus.

You have to read up on slimmenu script and see if it even can do what you are after first.. I'm not sure it can.. if not, then you need to replace the menu with one that can.

I have downloaded the mod. But, I have read the readme file and I don't where to put these codes to make it work.

anyone using this with 1.5.7c? any issues. I was using it on an older version of zen and i'm upgrading.

I intend to do it so thanks for posting your experience

I assume you mean this template and are not referring to the posts about the menu.
I do use this template with 1.5.7c but I have heavily modified it to my needs and had to perform numerous updates along the way.
Column Layout Grid was changed in 1.5.6 (I think) and needs some changes for this template
Footer Menu, this is now old and i have replaced it with Zen-Cart-Flexible-Footer-Menu-Multilingual-1.5
zen-colorbox has also been upgraded so you will probably need the latest one
Also you want the latest mobile detect file ( i think this is in the zen-cart base code release)

Additionally there are issues with variables not being set as arrays.

so really it depends on how much work you want to do to bring your version up to date.

I would compare the code with 1.5.4 zen cart then look at the changes for 1.5.7c see https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/upgrading/detailed_upgrading/ for details on the standard upgrade procedure.

I just installed sheffield-blue in my test site and got blank page.
I followed instructions but they are for winchester.
I will restore from backup and try again with new instructions.
I like the blue template, please help.

I just loaded sheffield blue in my local test site and got blank page.I could still access the admin section so I reverted to responsive-classic, I thought I needed to restore from backup but that is not the case, well maybe I will nonetheless.
The blue is what I need for this site, please help.

Has anyone try to use this template on the 1.5.8 version since Anne hasn't been updating it lately?

Has anyone try to use this template on the 1.5.8 version since Anne hasn't been updating it lately?Depending on your expertise, you could look at the differences in stylesheets between the 9-year old template and the latest for 2.0.

Trying to use an old template means time spent bringing it up to date in CSS, HTML, PHP, and accessibillity. Then, you still have to work with the css for your particular preferences. The current 2.0 responsive_classsic is there for you.

To move even closer to current standards, the best case scenario is to clone the bootstrap and "make it yours".

Well, her template isn't compatible to 1.5.8 got a blank screen then switch to back to classic responsive and remove the files back to the orginal way. Now main site pulls up then when I click on an product blank screen. I did a backup before I did this.

Sorry if I indicated the template was anywhere compatible. What I suggested was that you could look at the main portions of the CSS for each and see if you could make the new look like the old.

The PHP, HTML, and language files of the old template will create many problems if loaded

Thanks anyway, what I did is I deleted the whole zen cart from the server and re-upload the backup zen cart that I did and back up where it needs to be. I will keep the layout what I have for now til I have the time to look into the other templates and see what I can do.

FYI

In this situation, it would be less invasive to just go to Tools >> Templates and select a different(the original?) template.

Adding lat9's Clone a Template could also have removed the old template whenever you weren't busy with other projects.

Just another thing you learn from many "oops".
