Thank you so much. I feel better now. I was starting to get worried. I will wait for him to come back. His service has been great so far and then when I did not hear from him I was concerned.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hello, I purchased this mod v4.4.x
I have two major questions about your mod.

Q1.
i wonder how to change order of Smart Tabs and change default selection to other taps? for example, i would like to select the "recommended" instead of "sent to friend" at default setting without click to see the products. in addition, i would like to put send to friend at very last.

Q2. - (i submit this question to your support site http://www.xcartmods.co.uk/support/ticket.php?track=Y6HTY2NMUM screen shots are attached)

i would like to make detailed image views in a popup window with "jQuery ColorBox" to show different angle. before i apply Smart Template, it works just fine however, after applied smart template, it's not showing properly.

do you have any idea to fix this problem?
i need to show 4 different angles for each product.

this is my first site with x-cart and i'm not an expert with smarty tpl or programing languages so please help how can correct this issue.

thank you very much.

I'm using smart template with xcart pro v4.4.1. When i click on provider register link, it takes me to the xcart's default registration page.

How can I have provider registration form on the mid column as customer registration is?

I appreciate any help very much.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

I tried looking for this in the home_3col.tpl but couldn't find it - I don't know how to read php though.

Anyway, would like to find out if there is a way to move the "new products" above the carousel, news ticker and slider.

Thanks,
Jeanne

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

You should look at /skin/smart_template/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Re: Product Details Page
 

Hello everyone. I need some help please. I am trying to remove information from my product details page for one category only using {if $current_category.categoryid ne '29'} which worked in version 4.3 but I am having the hardest time getting everything removed in version 4.4.1 using smart template.:?
This is a category that I use to issue free downloads to registered customers only via a download like that i will be adding using a product download mod. Price would be free so there is no need to have a price listed and Quantity is not necessary.
The things I need removed are (Add to cart button, Quantity label and Quantity drop-down box, I have included a picture showing you what is left that I need removed in hopes that one of you lovely members can help me. These are the things we have to go through when upgrading this cart and it is not fun, having to start all over. )-:
I want to thank all of you who take the time to help people. You guys are truly a blessing. Thanks in advance for your continued help. Shareen

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hello, is it possible to add more Random Products then just 3? If so how would I go about making that change to at lease 10 or more? Thank you for your time and help. Shareen

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Are you using the carousel? If so, mine shows all of the products that I have featured, you add them as you normally would. Hope this might help. ;-)

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

It's me with all the questions again... Have a couple more that I'd like to throw at you (please)

First, when you view a product that has a price lower than the list price the percentage saved is displaying down in the product description area rather than up by the price (see image). Attachment 2281

Second, on the check out page, at the top right there are links with the customer's name and to sign out that show up over top of the regular menu links (see image). Attachment 2282

Third, I'd like to see if there's a way to keep all of the categories displayed when a customer is in a specific category (again, see image). Attachment 2280

Finally, I would like to (again) tell you that this is one of the best templates that I have ever used.

Thank you so much Phil!

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

I think when Phil gets back from the holiday, he will be making some changes to the files. I love this template also, but I am having a few issues also.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

The template has problem showing new product's thumbnail. Whenever I post new item, the product's thumbnail doesn't show in New Product Panel. It shows a blank image. http://www.ekidult.com but it shows correct under the category page.

For example,
a new product's thunbnail link in the homepage:
http://www.ekidult.com/image.php?type=T&id=18550

the new product's thunbnail link in the category page:
http://www.ekidult.com/images/T/TBCC-418-DD1-Ti-Lite-MP41-Submachine.jpg

Besides, it shows a newly created category with a messy page:
http://www.ekidult.com/preorder

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

If you are using the template with a layout of 3 products per row, how do you force the search results to show up in this way as mine keep returning as 1 per row and it looks bad.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

I am using featured pager on homepage. Is there a way to have border for each featured product?

I used firebug and looked at custom/css/common.css file. I was not able to have border for featured products. I really appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x Random Products
 

Is anyone else having a problem with the Random Products on the home page showing (hidden but for sale products)? Mine is showing the products I have hidden as well as the ones I have available.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi all, sorry for the delay, happy new year to you all.

If you want to increase the number of new or random products...

Simply edit smart_new_products.php or smart_random_products.php

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

I hope you had great holiday. I have following questions.

How do I define the number of products shown on each pagination for "featured products pager"?

It is now showing all of the featured products on homepage. I would like to have them separated on different pagination.

Also, how could I have border on each featured product if I choose "pager" featured products type?

Thank you very much.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

If you do drop by, how do we change the price for the new/random products on the home page to account for the new VAT rate.

Thanks:D

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x Product Display
 

Free products not displaying correctly.
All and any Free Products Priced $o.oo will not show correctly in the template. When I select to display the products using the original x-cart display, the problem goes away. Anyone else having this issue or something similar?

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Shareen, the code you mention should only display products that are "Available for sale".

Regarding "free" products, that could be a bug with x-cart.

Mick, to change the tax rate, in skin/smart_template/custom/

featured_new_products.tpl
featured_random_products.tpl
featured_carousel.tpl
featured_pager.tpl

Change..
to...

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Jondoe, sometimes x-cart is sensitive with certain image formats, try uploading a PNG thumbnail instead.
skin/smart_template/custom/js/paginate/jquery.paginate.js
Look for...
Also, in skin/smart_template/custom/common.tpl
Change...
to...
And in skin/smart_template/custom/css/common.css
Change...
4 columns = 25% etc.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Thanks Phil, had already done that with no luck.

Tried it on the other site now, and it worked fine.

So one site is ok, the other isn't :D

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x Random Product Mod
 

Phil so are you saying that I am stuck with my issues with the Random Products and also products not showing correctly when they are priced 0.00.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

No, not at all, let me do some testing and I'll get back to you.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x Random Product Mod
 

Ok Thank you very much Phil for your reply. Hopefully it will be something easy that we can change in the code.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,
I hope you had a good vaca. When you get a chance, can you get to my post back on 12/28 here: http://forum.x-cart.com/showpost.php?p=305708&postcount=117
TIA!

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Phil,
My Vertical menu is functioning weird.
With ⌠Enable vertical flyout category■ menu shows ⌠Tree-like expanding■; also background is missing┘ nothing similar to your DEMO.
I am not sure if I have all necessary files (do I need ⌠ul#vnavmenu■?).
Thanks,
Klemens

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Why it shows a messy page which is a new create category filled with 3 items only? The left panel totally disappeared and the table border is totally messed up:
http://www.ekidult.com/preorder
It shows no problem when I use any default xcart's template.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

The smart template has a pure CSS layout for products display, unlike the default x-cart, which uses tables.
So any badly formed HTML may break the layout.
Ensure that your product descriptions are well formed, ie. no unclosed DIV tags etc.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Debatable whether it has much affect on SEO, but change to rel="follow" if you like.
That ought to work, but you'll also have to adjust the container - #st_menu_search
Fonts have been converted to cufon format using the default settings - you could try creating your own fonts at http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate
You could increase the 'units per em' setting, but may result in larger font files.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

A couple of things Phil, but first - glad you're back, we have all missed you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D/

First, regarding this post, I'd like to toss a comment out there....



I have been using xCart for a few years now. I recently started two new sites, with brand new domains, using 4.4.1 with the Smart Template. I suspect that it is because of the design that you used (css as opposed to the tables), but both sites that I started up have skyrocketed in the SERP's. I have watched in amazement, as normally it takes a new domain a few months just to get out of elusive sandbox, let alone to be showing up in the SERP's. Both of these sites, after a couple of months time, are already on pages one and two. I feel like the unseen aspects of this template, how you designed it, plays a huge role in this. Before moving to the 4.4.1/Smart Template my shopping cart was barely registering in the SERP's at all. At any rate, I have now put the Smart Template on all three sites.


Second, I want to follow up on this error to see if you know what's causing it.



I am getting it on two of the sites that I have Smart Template installed on. I have a sneaking suspicion that when QT put the patch in for the bug/error I was getting with quotation marks in the product name that they fixed this error on the third site, but I am not sure.

Any thoughts?


Oh- Forgot to also inquire about the percentage saved (when the price is less than market price) displaying down in the description:

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil hope you had a good christmas/new year,

When can we expect you back on Skype? :)

Got a couple of questions needing answered about the template etc. :o

Thanks.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,

Thanks for helping me to narrow down the problem. I think this is not related to what I put in the page. I've found that there is a single </DIV> tag in the page not in a pair. And I've found that the page would be messed up if I haven't put a retail price (not listed price) for an item.

After put the retail price, the page will show correct with the correct pairs of DIV tags.

Jon

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Cool, but I was just wondering why you used nofollow there?

Next, I just added my first subcategory (never had one before :D). Then checked "Enable vertical flyout category menu" in admin -> Smart Template settings, Force cache generation, Clear templates cache, cleared local FF cache and cookies. But, on the left vertical subcat panel, when rolling over the category, the subcat does not appear. Any suggestions?

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Yes, ensure you have enabled the flyouts module in modules.

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Thanks. It wasn't enabled. After enabling, and after some unexplained delay of not working for at least 15 minutes, it started working :0

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Scrapbooksupplies, glad you are getting good results with the search engines.

Not too sure about the errors you are getting, could be related to the patch I guess.

But I'd suggest avoiding the use of quotation marks in your product names.

To fix the Save X% box, please add this code to skin/smart_template/css/altskin.css

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

Hi Phil,
Can you help with these issues, please?

1. With flyouts enabled, the entire left category panel disappears. After some number of clicks on miscellaneous links and page refreshes on random pages, the panel appears. I cannot replicate. It's random. However, with flyouts disabled, the panel is everpresent.

Also, I did go in admin and switch to some of the other Smart Template skins to see if that made a difference. It did not.
Also, I went to http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri+with_options and checked http://www.xcartmods.co.uk/demos/smart/demo442/ It showed some errors which is normal, but you might want to look at this one: "Line 746, Column 23: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data." Perhaps that would break something?

I hope that helps you narrow things down. I'd really like to get flyouts and tree working.

2. How can I fix this overlap bug? (top red circle)http://comforta.net/overlappinglinesbug.png

3. How can I add an additional <li> element (menu item) in the Account box on the right panel? (bottom red circle)

4. This is really minor compared to the other questions.... I see on public_html/skin/smart_template/custom/featured_carousel.tpl the options I saw no difference between linear and swing, fyi. Also, I had so much fun switching them that I'm wondering how to see those "etc." options. ;)
Thanks, Phil! I love your Smart Template!

Re: X-Cart Smart Template v4.4.x
 

PHIL, I upgraded my template to Vertical Flyout Menu, according to your instructions; however Vertical Menu is working only partially. The Instruction says: “Enable the vertical flyout menu in Smart Template Settings”, when I do that menu is showing in “Tree-Like expanding” not “Flyout expanding” with color background like in DEMO.
Thanks for any advise in resolving the problem.
