ZCA Bootstrap 4 Template [Support Thread]

Can the Bootstrap Template support full width slideshow?

Georgecy:

Can the Bootstrap Template support full width slideshow?
The template has a built-in home-page slider (see the Home Slider settings in the template's configuration settings).

Hi All,

I am running Zen Cart 2.1.0 with Bootstrap V 3.7.8.
The additional images was showing the way it suppose to like this:

then i Purify the CSS file and the it missed up the way it is showing the additional images like below:

Anyone knows which CSS file is responsible for that? and what chunk of code is controlling it? Thanks.

v3.7.9 of the Bootstrap template is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2191

This release contains changes for these GitHub issues: https://github.com/lat9/ZCA-Bootstrap-Template/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20milestone%3Av3.7.9

In the version history of 3.7.9 the first two paths in the changed file list seem to be wrong:

1. /includes/languages/extra_definitions/bootstrap/lang.zca_bootstrap_common.php
2. /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/zca_bootstrap_id.php

Good catch. Those lines should read

1. /includes/languages[B]/english[/B]/extra_definitions/bootstrap/lang.zca_bootstrap_common.php
2. /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/[B]bootstrap/[/B]zca_bootstrap_id.php

Any modern theme demos available? I have an older Zen Cart I want to update.

Here's the page with links to the demos:

I am using the Banner Manager for the Homesliders in bootstrap and the banners are moving too quickly. I can't remember where the setting is to speed it up or slow it down. Can anyone direct me to it?

Not a setting, but a code change/addition. See this (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/components/carousel/#example) bootstrap example.

Hmm... happens with template_default as well - it's not a bootstrap template issue.

TY - have created a new thread and will update that.

v3.7.10 of the ZCA Bootstrap template is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2191

Curious why banners_html_text is not used during home page banner display. Are there issues with doing this? Any harm in adding an echo of this field if not empty to tpl_index_slider.php ?

I don't have time to investigate right now, but if you create an issue on the template's GitHub (https://github.com/lat9/ZCA-Bootstrap-Template) I'll be more likely to see it when I do have time!

NOTE: Future releases of the template will drop support for Zen Cart 1.5.8. Consider this a heads-up for a site upgrade if you're currently running on zc158.

• Add a tool that removes the template's files and database settings.
• Supply 2nd parameter to nl2br so that HTML5 tags are generated.
• Using $tplSetting to access template-specific configuration settings.
• Using a 'soft setting' to control the presence of the products' listing sort-by selection.

The reason is primarily a content-shift issue. When the banner is an image, the images can each be sized to be the same height (or use IH's "force" method) while there's no means of forcing the text height (other than an unwanted inline style= HTML attribute).

Howdy,
I just updated to version 3.8.0 and the Admin page Tools>ZCA Bootstrap Colors is blank below "All changes are saved when you click the Save All button."

And I am getting this in the error log:
