Re: X-Cart Adapt Template

That did the trick. Cool deal. Got another one for ya. I know you have the Adapt Custom Product Fields which will show the Glossary and is great but how hard is it to implement your Glossary mod into the Feature Comparison so I can move it to a tab and do this to compare my systems.

Phil, 2 of the Custom Promo Badge options are not displaying in the thumbnails.
They are no.11 (download) and no.12 (on sale). The others are displaying fine.

On another note, you should try to fix your site before you do to much custom work, there seems to be quite a few .css issues as far as I can see.

You can add the glossary to any elements, by wrapping this code around anything...

Code:

{if $config.Adapt.adapt_addon_glossary eq "Y"}<span class="glossary_highlight">{/if}

YOUR CONTENT

{if $config.Adapt.adapt_addon_glossary eq "Y"}</span>{/if}

Pitak, thank you for reporting that, in skin/adapt/css/altskin.css

Replace...

Code:

ul.row_view li .product_block.promo10, .product_promo.promo00 {

    background: #fff url("../images/promos/10.png") no-repeat scroll left top;

}

With...

Code:

ul.row_view li .product_block.promo10, .product_promo.promo10 {

    background: #fff url("../images/promos/10.png") no-repeat scroll left top;

}



ul.row_view li .product_block.promo11, .product_promo.promo11 {

    background: #fff url("../images/promos/11.png") no-repeat scroll left top;

}



ul.row_view li .product_block.promo12, .product_promo.promo12 {

    background: #fff url("../images/promos/12.png") no-repeat scroll left top;

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template

Just a note for CDSEO users...

If your layout gets messed up when navigating to subcategories, you can apply this small fix...

In skin/adapt/js/adapt_custom.js

In line 6, replace...

Quote:

path: 'skin/adapt/css/grid/',

With the full path to your store...

Eg.

Quote:

path: 'http://www.yourstore.com/skin/adapt/css/grid/',

Use https:// if necessary.

Thanks to Jack for the heads up.

frustrating. I've replaced the CSS files with the originals, removed my live chat script and still hasn't changed anything. I have noticed that it's not pulling my Tweets in the window and in the header one of the drop menus is messed up so maybe a script issue. My test site is showing fine too so I'm going to have to go through the installation steps and see what I have missed or misplaced.

How to put in the Home and other buttons on the toolbar?

Hi... I'd like to put some static pages on the menu bar in addition to the Mega menu (which rocks!) how do I go about doing that?

Also, I have noticed that both the ink site and the car site are slow... is this due to the adapt template, or your servers... as I have noticed that my adapt template in development also appears to be slower than my existing template... not sure what that may be caused by...

Thanks!

PS... I had seen a couple of sites that had white backgrounds that Phil had posted in the past but I can't seem to find them... would like to see other sites that are based on this template... if possible.

The Gift Registry link (giftregs.php) actually appears in the 'Special' side menu box.

To add Wishlist links, modify...

skin/adapt/customer/authbox.tpl
skin/adapt/addons/menus/header_dropdown.tpl

After...

Code:

<li><a href="orders.php">{$lng.lbl_orders}</a></li>

Insert...

Code:

    {if $active_modules.Wishlist ne ""}

    <li><a href="cart.php?mode=wishlist">{$lng.lbl_wish_list}</a></li>

    {/if}

Insert...

Code:

<li><a href="#">Information <i class="icon-chevron-down"></i></a>

<ul>

<li><a href="#link3"><i class="icon-chevron-right"></i> Page 3</a></li>

Or if you want dynamic static page links...

Code:

<li><a href="#">Information <i class="icon-chevron-down"></i></a>

    <ul>

    {foreach from=$pages_menu item=p name=page}

    {if $p.show_in_menu eq 'Y'}

</ul>

</li>

Your site can be as fast as you want it to be, it depends how prepared you are to optimise things.

Jack at the ink site has got his pages down to a insanely fast speed by adding Max CDN, optimising images, disabling unnecessary modules etc. etc.

Plus he's with a reputable x-cart hosting company, ie. not a budget shared host.

With any X-Cart store, it's best to keep things as simple as possible.

There's many tools to test your site as you optimise, one of which is Pingdom (yes I'm well aware of the performance of the demo).

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template

Well hosting aside here is a comparison between Ideal_Comfort and Adapt

Ideal Comfort (stock X-cart 4.5.2 with just a few extras taken from http://trainingpen.com/manufacturers_carousel/) :
Total HTTP Requests: 217 Total Size: 1245430 bytes

Adapt (taken from http://demos.xcartmods.co.uk/adapt/):
Total HTTP Requests:228 Total Size:2760716 bytes

Now admittedly this is not just the difference in skin. The site would need to be identical in every other way to achieve a true comparison. Images play a large role, and the adapt template has the slider on the home page.

But initially it appears to me that adapt is not very "lite". It is a robust template with lots of extra features, so you can expect it to weigh a little more. For me the extra weight is pretty bad, I usually try to optimize X-cart to come in at around 120-130 requests and about 360-450kb after compression. (BTW neither of these sites are using compression)

PhilJ

09-14-2012 12:29 PM

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template

It's a feature-rich template, the demo has all features enabled... just how many of those features you wish to use is entirely up to you.

Much of the load comes from images, of which there are many on the homepage.

As mentioned, Jack managed to get his homepage to ~20 requests / under 350k (!), simply by adding Max CDN and disabling some features.

Every store owner should take steps to optimise their site wherever possible. Here's an insightful video I found.

Heres a recent SS of my site speed: Tested from Amsterdam, Netherlands on September 15th. - Note i'm in the UK so it might even be slightly quicker if it was tested in London, I've only recently had this setup in the last 24-48 hours. :)

Granted my homepage hasn't got many modules enabled or an image slider running as of yet, but I've went from 8 seconds to 1.6-2 secs on average. It's very impressive what you can do if you don't bloat your site with rubbish. Phils demo has every feature and module enabled, so it will indeed be bloated, he is also with 1&1 (not saying it's a bad host but personally prefer Handsonwebhosting/EWD as they know x-cart very well)

As long as my site loads under 3-4 seconds I'm happy. I also tested my site with a module that shows Detailed images when you hover over a product image and the site pages were around 1.2MB and even then I could get that to load in around 2 seconds.

I'm sure I could do a lot more too, but I'm happy with the speed, it's awesome! :)

Phil, 2 issues I'm having:

1. The Search for a category box only display results that are in the English language categories even though I'm on another language. Can you please provide a fix?

2. When I try to access the FAQs page http://domain/pages.php?pageid=1 (The link is on the Help pull down menu), it returned a 404 page.
I noticed that your demo site's FAQs page points to http://domain/FAQ.html. Is there an option somewhere to enable FAQ?

Thanks.

How about your site.. what is it? It is crazy fast from one page to another.. ie.. no lag at all. Obviously highly optimized.. what have you done? Is it an x-cart site as well?

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template

I'm an X-cart dev, its what I do full time. Yes it is optimized and its also an older version of X-cart which is leaner. I'm sure Phil's template could be optimized to be just as fast. It starts with your hosting of course, then it depends n your ability to optimize. Every site is different, and sacrifices have to be made sometimes to get things up to speed. Here is a thread where I recorded some progress notes while I optimized a client's site:http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=62991&highlight=optimization

To change the link to the Help > FAQs page, edit skin/adapt/addons/menus/header_dropdown.tpl

Look for this line...

Adjust to whatever your FAQ static page ID is.

Phil,

As i was looking at this web site, http://www.robertsonpackaging.com/ which I believe is your 'previous' awesome template, I really liked the menu structure on the left hand side.. is there any way of using that on the Adapt template?

I also like the feature that you had on the top right hand corner tab for special offers...

Thanks again,

It's possible, although the vertical flyouts wouldn't perform too well responsively, ie. in tablets or mobile devices.

I've given you the option of mega dropdown menu or dropdown/flyouts which should be sufficient, plus you don't really want to have two lots of multi-level menus running, as it may harm SEO and/or slow down your site.

But if you really want the vertical flyouts, get in touch.

Well, I've been using BCSE testimonials for many years. I installed adapt and voila, get ton's of sql errors.

As I mentioned, you name a file as "testimonial.php". I also find in your patch sql that you have a table named "testimonials", just like the mod from BCSE.

I know what you are going to say next: You can't test for every other mod.

Further, why use BCSE mod if your template has it all built in.

I am not going to argue with you.

For anyone that is installing the adapt template on an existing older version and is using BCSE testimonials: Export your testimonial table first with the help of phpMyadmin. You can then easily import it back into adapt. you'll need to tweak field names though. But this way, you'll not loose your testimonials from the old site.

Now back to the issue. Why is it that 3rd party developers, listed on the QT Marketplace don't have to adhere to some sort of quality standards ? Even QT, when it hijacked altered carts on sale mod violated file and table naming conventions.

I urge developers to prepend their file and table names with a unique identifier. Many of the major 3rd party mods are doing this already, a simple thing.

Phil, we are accustomed to your great mods over several years, just my 20 cents.
