ZCA Bootstrap Template 1.0 (BETA)

NOTE: THIS IS RELATED TO AN OLDER VERSION.
Please see the new support thread at: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?223910-ZCA-Bootstrap-Template

Within the next few days I'll be submitting a new template based on the Bootstrap Framework.
THIS TEMPLATE HAS ONLY BEEN INSTALLED AND TESTED ON v1.5.5f
I have pretty much designed this template using only the BS Framework, so a majority of Zen-Cart classes have been removed and replaced with BS classes. I have also replaced and added several id's for page specific consistency.

The default layout is 3 columns but removes the 3rd column (right column) on the product info, shopping cart and checkout pages. (IMO & from experience - less distraction on these pages increase sales.)

I added new configuration to include the product notification and manufacturer info side boxes on the product info pages.

I added new configuration to use a columnar layout on all product listing pages (products_new, featured_products, products_all and index&cPath).

As I no longer do programming due to a new venture, my time frames, responses and upkeep may be few and far between.

Here is a demo link.

Should have this uploaded by days end tomorrow. Sure would like some feedback before I package and upload.

Wow! As always, @rbarbour, you've got a winner. I can't wait to get it downloaded and "kick the tires".

Nice job! Looking forward to using it.

Thank you Cindy,

I'll wait to see what you have to say after you "kick the tires". :smile:

PLEASE post feedback, suggestions, bugs, here.

PlEASE feel free to contribute and post here to include:

• Download and Installation Instructions.
• Code to Auto Install Template.
• Code to utilizing the use of notifier/observer addons.

I will get to the above as time permits but any help would be much appreciated for my time is stretched very thin these days.

@rbarbour, Do you (or will you) have a GitHub repository for the template?

@lat9
With a search in GitHub I found this:
ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-BETA

https://github.com/zcadditions/ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-BETA-

Think I screwed it up, was in a hurry. :blush:

Thanks, @haredo and @rbarbour. It looks like (please correct me if I'm wrong) the includes-templates-bootstrap directory is actually the /includes/templates/bootstrap one.

I'll be downloading shortly ...

That's correct Cindy

So far, playing with the demo, and looking around the code in github, I can say that I believe I might be having "feelings" for, I am not sure, the template or
rbarbour himself :hug:, might be getting moist eyes, and wondering if this is finally the answer to all of my prayers for a base template that is worth a damn. Thank You :bow::bow:

That's good praise, I'm not sure I've ever seen that many "smileys" in a @barco57 posting!

No, thank you!

Have taken a look and I'm impressed. Going to download from the GitHub and have a play with it.

It would be best to download from the zen-cart plugins. Some files needed for the observers have not been added yet and will result in white pages. Once GitHub is ready we will update the community and template in the plugins.

Version 1.0.0 has been submitted

NEW IN THIS UPDATE

• Admin Auto Install Script ( Thank you @lat9 )
• Reduce core-file overwrites ( Thank you @lat9 )
• Updated the non-carousel Image Links
• Updated the Carousel
• Removed stray Configuration Values
• Removed unused DEFINES
• Added center-box <div>'s for consistency to ease styling
• Added a template screenshot ( Thank you @DrByte )

GitHub: https://github.com/zcadditions/ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-BETA-

I just downloaded this from the plugins and it looks like some things were not included. It did not auto install, the core file overwrites are still there and Cindy's replacements were not included. I'm going to download from github and pick up those changes. You might want to check what got submitted to ZC.

Version 1.0.0 hasn't been updated in the plugin section. Still shows current version of 1.0.BETA

Usually takes 3-5 days. GITHUB has latest stable version.

OOPS! I missed that distinction. My bad
