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

I believe that this is base page-processing ... but just in case. When I enter some comments during checkout that include double-quotes:

Here are some"comments".

they wind up as

Here are some "comments".

on the checkout-confirmation page and, ultimately, in the order.

Hi,

I've not used Zen Cart for some while now so I am somewhat rusty with it, nice to see the responsive template included in this latest version....looks like i returned just at the right time!

Sadly for me this template is not responding well, on a fresh install I am struggling to get the template to load, switch to classic green & all ok, switch back and sometimes it will load & this is the same for Chrome & Firefox. If i do get it to load the F5 refresh will NOT work whatever, to refresh I MUST use the home button which works fine.
The template looks too good to switch back to classic green so I will have to resolve it. Clearing the cache lost it completely & as yet still have blank screens on this template.
Anyone else experienced such problems who can advise?

This is localhost only at present with latest Wampserver3 installed this week to try to rectify this.

thanks

I don't believe that this is a template related issue. Maybe the core developers have more insight?

Thanks,

I have not experienced these problems. Are you on a vanilla install of the cart or do you have plugins/modifications added?

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne & thanks for reply.

As the template author, if you have not experienced this I can only guess the problem is at my end (which i did suspect)

BTW no plugins was a fresh install but not sure of term "vanilla" though.

Will try again & report exactly what happens & what php version ect i have on localhost.

Once again thanks for replay.

OK done another new install & from the install link to storefront I get a blank screen, change the template to classic green & loads fine, switch back & blank screen.

FYI

ZC 1.5.5
PHP ver 5.6.15
MySQL 5.7.9
Apache 2.4.17

When using Chrome (my default browser) developers tab I do see issues, see attached image & guessing this is the reason for the problem?

Any help or advise appreciated

I can not see the errors in the image, they are too small. I have only installed on a live server. Maybe there is something wrong with your wamp set up?

Thanks,

Those messages all suggest it's trying to load external resources and it can't find them because you're offline.

I am only on localhost, I always disable my wifi when on localhost so defo no access to internet, I read many moons ago NEVER run wampsever whilst on the net, always disconnect....not sure were i read that it was so long ago. Am i unique doing this & is this the problem?

BTW Anne, here is the errors in txt format

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost/site/includes/templates/responsive_classic/jscript/jquery.min.js

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined jscript_matchHeight-min.js:11
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined localhost/:185

This is only on responsive site(s) this problem occurs.

Thanks for help so far

Just searched wampserver security & found this http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/smb-technologist/secure-apache-on-your-wamp-server/

Anyone with knowledge on this who can advise, maybe it's just the dinosaur in me or am i just paranoid?

I'm guessing anyone using responsive templates Zen Cart or any other type will incur the same problem.

Thanks again

Don't run your live site on Windows.

swguy:

Don't run your live site on Windows.

I only want to test the site at this stage & do slight mods on my system, it's been some time since I worked with ZC but when I did in the past I always worked locally & once finished upload to server.

From my understanding now, no one does this anymore.

Your understanding is incorrect; this is in fact a good practice.
You do not need to worry excessively about locking down your local WAMP installation, assuming your router blocks inbound traffic, you have a firewall, etc.

Brill thanks, I can get on with my project now.

The side-boxes for specific devices in v1.5.5 Responsive Classic are controlled by CSS.

Open these 3 files:
/includes/templates/responsive_classic/css/responsive_default.css
/includes/templates/responsive_classic/css/responsive_mobile.css
/includes/templates/responsive_classic/css/responsive_tablet.css

The responsive_default.css file manipulates the side-boxes for all devices if a UA (User-Agent) is not detected.

The responsive_mobile.css & responsive_tablet.css files manipulates the side-boxes for specific devices if a UA (User-Agent) is detected

Each file will have code that starts with:

/bof side-boxes/
/* ADD { display:none;visibility:hidden; } to Hide Side-Box /
/ LEAVE BLANK { } to Show Side-Box */

> 
> Take a look at the CSS and how the stock side-boxes are handled.

Hi 

I have tried this method in order to get the categories sidebox to display in mobile view.  In desktop responsive view it works but it's not working in mobile view. Firebug shows me for the #categories sidebox there's an inline style with display: none; visibility: hidden;. 

Am I missing something?

thanks

To maximize user experience on mobile devices, jQuery was added to hide all side-boxes regardless of CSS.

open:
/includes/templates/responsive_classic/jscript/jscript_responsive_framework.php

should be line 37:

$('#categories').css({ 'display': 'none', 'visibility': 'hidden' });

change to:

$('#categories').css({  });

Hello,

I'm liking 1.55 so thanks to all involved and to Anne for her templates.

As the responsive template is 'out of the box', when making adjustments to the template files can I assume that these will be unaffected by future Zencart releases when upgrading. Or do I need to set up a custom template as previously?

That all depends on how you do your upgrades. If you carefully and intentionally compare all files and manually merge changes from the new version into your files (or vice versa), then you'll be fine. But if you just blindly copy all the new files and replace your own without doing any inspections to preserve your customizations, then you will be wiping out your own changes. So, you can see it's all up to how you do it. When upgrading (especially templates) you should always manually merge customizations, not blindly replace things.
