Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil

I just tried my site with adapt on my HP Slate 500 running Windows 8. It worked well.

I do have one request. How can you change the Apply button on the checkout page to Continue. My customers can seem to get it and are having problems completing. The ones I've talked to are not hitting the apply button. Continue might fix that.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Large sliding images on home page just disappeared, how do I re-activate this add on

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Content > Languages and search lbl_apply and change the text to Continue.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Look at the ability template and look for the slider module, tick this and it should appear, also check that you've got a valid image uploaded.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

It's fixed Yages, your Ability slider choice setting was missing, so I re-applied the SQL for it.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank you for quick replies you always gave me. Today when I mailed you I was thinking of getting reply in 2-3 days, but I am amazed to get your response within no time.

I am fond of your template I am using right now, the day I started my website & X-Cart I never thought of changing my template ever.

But now I am anxiously waiting for your template for X-cart Gold Plus, when are you planning to release it.

Best Regards
Kashif Rashid

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Kashif, I am currently finishing up converting the Adapt Template to Gold Plus (almost ready), then Ability will be next.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Would like to do the same, but cant seem to find the solution.

Did anyone get this sorted?

Thanks :)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Thanks Phil :D

Have done that, but does not seem to have had any effect.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Strange, should do the job (for masonry columns anyway), try clearing your template cache.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hey Phil any ideas how to fix this issue?

If you go to this page Farm Shop supplies you will see that the ratings stars are all wonky.

Not sure what's causing this.

Here is the code I use on the actual static page

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

You could try editing skin/ability/customer/main/pages.tpl

Replace...


With...


^ replace "123" with whatever the pageid of the static page is.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Thanks Phil i'll give that a bash

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Cant work this one out Phil, still no good.

When do you think you will be taking on more jobs?

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Phil can you drop me a pm when you are about pls :-)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil, Can you please give us some idea of when Ability 4.5.4 Gold Plus is going to be ready?

I've got my project on hold waiting for this. If it is a long wait, I may just opt for the Gold version.

Thanks

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Unfortunately it will be some weeks before the Gold Plus version of Ability is ready. I will post details here as soon as I know a more definite date.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil

On check out there is a tick box for the T&Cs, how would I modify the wording? I want to add a bit as I sell edge weapons and UK law says you need to be 18.

Basically want to add ticking it confirms they are.?

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Mate,

That should be as simple as going in to webmaster mode (Tools -> Webmastermode -> Enable) then clicking on the text and it will allow you to change the wording.

Loving the quality of the stuff on your site btw, the products look cracking. A wee tip for usability would be to add some nice little thumbnails to your categories pages as it will make them look much better.

Wish I had the spare cash to buy some of these awesome swords. A nice claymore would do the trick but i'm sure the mrs would take it off me and use it on me for spending more money :)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Thanks! :)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Do not know why I didnt think of the Webmaster mode! Thanks sorted.

Next thing on my agenda was the RSS feeds, I am unable to get these working?

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

1) Ensure the rss_news.xml / rss_products.xml files exist in store root.
2) Ensure the above files are writable (CHMOD 777).
3) Ensure the full company store URL is set in general settings > company.

Then you should be able to generate feeds correctly (see the RSS feeds section in Ability settings).

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

I cant seem to find this FAQ, can you point me in the right direction please :-)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Done all the settings on the RSS feeds, still just generates blank pages :/

Thanks, it is the specific FAQ I can't seem to find :-)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

For a $50 discount on Ability, use the coupon - XMAS2012

Offer Available from 19th Dec - 31st Dec 2012

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,
Discount is available on other mods also or just on Ability template ?

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

Got the Ability template installed and so far so good :)

I have a couple of hopefully very simple questions:

- Can I add categories to the homepage right column (so they appear with their graphic in forced grid format with the template?

- Is there a way to remove quantity / sku / rating from the featured products / random products?

thanks for your time!

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Guys,

I have came in to the office today to find our site's layout all messed up.

Here is what is happening.

http://www.robertsonpackaging.com/images/support/screenshot2013.jpg

You can see the menu isn't showing correctly (it should be the tree menu) and also the slider and other bits and pieces aren't working.

Anyone got any ideas what has caused this? I'm not sure where to start looking as I haven't changed anything recently.

I still have our site open/live at the moment so you can see it. Check it out here at : www.robertsonpackaging.com.

Any help would be appreciated.

D-A

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Seems to be working now, your CSS was not loading for some reason.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

Still not working here.

I have reset cache on browsers, used different browsers and it still looks the same.

All of the testimonials are showing, the tabs arent showing and the vert menu is still showing fully open.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Strange, I am seeing a working tree category menu, slider etc. in Firefox and Chrome.

Maybe try start > run > ipconfig /flushdns

Reboot your PC and router etc.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

That's bizarre Phil, I have tried flushing the dns and have tried it on 3 different computer one being a MBP and they are all showing the same.

Strangely I just tested it on my phone and it works fine.

could it be an issue with my ISP causing this? Never seen an issue like this before.

EDIT: Just tested it on a remote machine on a different network and its working fine as you said.

I can't get my head round why it would'nt work on any of our machines on this network but its fine outwith the network.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

ok Phil looks like I have resolved it. Well to a degree anyway.

On Friday I was asked by one of the directors of the company I work for to block all access to facebook. I did this by blocking the facebook.com domain name from the firewall. This worked on some computers but not others for some reason but it also seems to have stopped the CSS loading on our page on all our computers.

I have now removed the Facebook block from the firewall and now the site works fine.

Very strange. I wonder if its detecting the word Facebook in the CSS files and blocking them from being loaded?

Thanks for the help anyway mate, guess I'm going to have to figure out how to stop people from using facebook in the office another way.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

With Product Page Layout - there is the setting:use standard X-Cart tabs below

Is there any way to set a specific tab to be opened as standard (related products in my case) - now it is send to a friend.

I took a look at common_files/customer/main/ui_tabs.tpl but can't seem to figure out how to get this done.

Do I need to change something in another file and/or can you tell me how to get this done?

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

I'd like your help if possible with a sort error (404) only in I.E on my site.

FF and Chrome work but I.E. versions 8 and 9 (I have not tested versions 10) fail because of an insertion of 'home.php' into the URL as follows:

http://www.memorial-urns.com/Keepsake-Urns/home.php?cat=9&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0&sort= price&sort_...rt_direction=1

Regarding the product sort function in skin/ability/customer/main/search_sort_by.tpl.

To get the sort to work on FF and Chrome I had to remove '/' in front of $url on line 3 and $cur_url on line 10 and 11. Looks like it was added to make I.E. work for someone on the xcart forum by in July.

With the slash e.g., /$cur_url, in I.E. I get a 404 error when sorting by price.

Returned Result: (missing '?')
http://www.memorial-urns.com/Stone-Pet-Urns/sort=price&sort_direction=0


Without the slash (which makes FF and Chrome work) IE also fails with 404 error because of the 'home.tpl' insertion. (Why is home.php inserted?)

http://www.memorial-urns.com/Stone-Pet-Urns/home.php?cat=78&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0&sort =price&sor...rt_direction=0


Let me know what I can do to help figure this out. I submitted a ticket this past Sunday.

Ability Order number: 3370
Ticket tracking ID: 9ME7GBU6L7

Thanks,

Vaughn

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x
 

I was able to fix my problem by going back to the original code and inserting a '?'.

WAS
value="/{$cur_url}sort=

NOW
value="/{$cur_url}?sort=

Thanks,

Vaughn

Hi Guys,

I have just installed the rich snippet module on my site. Is there any instructions for adding the patches to the Ability theme or will I have to work through the patch files and do it manually?
