Responsive Classic (built in to Zen Cart v1.5.5) [Support Thread]

Ok a bit of help pointing me in the right direction please. I have built my new site on (now) 1.5.5d using the built-in Responsive_Classic template. I have transitioned my new site to the correct place and gone live, having ugraded the database and amended the config files accordingly. Everything works fine excepting for the responsive page for mobiles, desktop and tablet (landscape orientation) are fine. If I look on a mobile (or tablet in portrait) the page changes to reflect the screen size (almost perfectly, a layout issue with me I suspect) and I get the Menu select blue bars appear on the header bar, but when I click on them nothing happens. I remember during my initial days of testing with a dummy database this did work and the category list appeared on the left, sliding the main page to the right, but no longer.

So what have I done, or not done ?

TIA ... Michael

@Mikeondraco, try renaming the stylesheet-old.css file to something likestylesheet.css~. All files with a .css extension are loaded from the /css folder!

Thanks, I will try that, but of course the one I changed during the build is named as stylesheet.css, the only hing I changed in it (I think) was a text size somewhere, but will see.

I may be back......

Yup as I remembered, all I changed on that sylesheet was the font size for the category tabs on the home screen. Changed back to the original stylesheet and still the same problem ?

I have deleted the -old one as well, reading your comment as I think that is what you may have meant

You seem to be missing the mobile-menu modules from the template; they're what creates that mobile view. Do you have any debug-logs generated?

No logs generated. I have just uploaded all the 'includes/templates/responsive_classis/css' files again in their entirity from my 1.5.5d download this morning, to ensure they are all virgin files. Still the same.

Are these the files you are referring to or something else?

The files in the template's /common and /jscript directories provide that menu handling (in addition to a couple of files in the /templates directory). I'd start by comparing your /common directory's files to those provided in the base Zen Cart distribution.

Many, many thanks. I have no idea what I had done, as I do not recall working on any of those files, but I just downloaded them again from 1.5.5d and all is working as it should

Thanks again for you time and patience .. Michael

Michael, I'm glad you got the issue sorted out!

I am satisfied with how the menu looks for my website on mobile, but dislilke how it looks on desktop. It just shows all of the categories on the left side like it was a mobIs there any way I could change the way categories appear so that when I hover over the main categories it shows all of my subcategories? I want it to be similar to burpee seeds website. I want the categories at the top for desktop and on the side for mobile.

DrByte:

... and the "Delivered" status essentially means "Shipped". If you're not using "Delivered" for some other purpose, you could just rename it, instead of adding additional statuses.

(There's a meaning to the numerical values assigned too, such as "Update" actually means "Update and reset the Download Counts on all downloadable items in this order".)

... but these points are all unrelated to the topic of this discussion thread, which is a specific template.

Thanks for your detailed reply, I sorted my issue out by inserting another status. The reason (here in the UK anyway) for wanting to differentiate between Shipped and Delivered is essentially a language use I guess, but when we say shipped we mean despatched into whichever post/courier sytem is chosen, whereas Delivered means that the customer has it. Semantics I know, but we are a bit odd over here :wacko:

and another question.....

Having read through the entire thread, some interesting stuff here, I can find no mention of this. Can I add Facebook and Twitter link icons (I know, sad :blink:) to the main black header bar ? If so, will this be shown on all devices ?

If this is not possible, or recommended, can I add them elsewhere. They were a default in the flexible footer of my previous 1.5.4 Winchester_Black template incarnation ?

TIA ..... Michael

Also, whilst I am here, although I have got used to the changed listing view from columns to rows and rather like it, why is it, that if I select column display in 'admin/configuration/product listing - layout style' to columns the template ignores me, i.e. I cannot select column display at all ?

That setting was (I'm guessing) left-over from your Winchester Black template; it's not part of the Zen Cart base distribution.

Hmmmm, OK, but this is a vanilla installation, albeit using the upgraded database from my previous store ?

Michael

Just wondering, is there a full list somewhere of all the HTML 5 Elements/Tags added to responsive classic?

Right, so the Winchester Black template's installation added that field to your "old" configuration and your upgraded database didn't know that it isn't going to be used anywhere (anymore).

Thanks for that, in the database then, No issues, as I said, I quite like the row listing anyway and the plan was not just to upgrade the Cart, but redesign the site anyway - not a bad thing to do every year or two in my book :smile:

Any thoughts on my previous question concerning the Facebook, Twitter, etc. links ?

Michael, since the responsive_classic template's processing also pulls in the Font Awesome support, you could use those fa glyphs for Facebook and Twitter (linking to your accounts) to your store's desktop header (/common/tpl_header.php) and to the mobile menu (/templates/tpl_modules_mobile_menu.php).
