Hi Barak, thank you for your order, it was sent out yesterday, the file attachment is fairly large, maybe check your spam folder.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Hi Phil,

I lost all my folders from my server the other day due to a dodgy script I wrote (idiot I know) I have now re-installed the theme but I am having a very strange issue.

When I first go on to the site everything looks fine until I click on a category and and the page loads but the categories ten disappear completely from the side bar. Also if I click on all categories the page is blank.

I tried clearing the template cache, which I thought worked as the categories re-appeared until I click on another cat and we are back to the missing cats again.

Here are some pictures to explain.

First enter the site
http://www.1guyseo.com/images/1.jpg
click on a category (notice the cats are gone now)
http://www.1guyseo.com/images/2.jpg
Click back to home page (cats still gone)

Hi David, try going into modules > flyout menus and disable the 'cache the menu' option.

The caching feature has never worked for me.

Your a super star mate, that did the trick. I did actually try swapping to a different type of menu but it did the same thing so I must have changed something else during that time.

Shame I can't use the flyout menu's as they hide behind the carousel when used.

Thanks again make, very much appreciated

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Flyout menus should overlap fine, just a case of either increasing the z-index value in the flyouts CSS file, or decreasing the z-index value in the carousel CSS.

Try this, in skin/ability/custom/css/common.css

Replace...

.roundabout-holder { list-style: none; width: 40em; height: 18em; margin: 1em auto; }

With...

.roundabout-holder { list-style: none; width: 40em; height: 18em; margin: 1em auto; z-index: 0; }

With Phil's permission, I am posting this mod for the Welcome Promotions.

What I wanted to do is to be able to change/add images, titles, descriptions, and links for the individual promotions right from the admin/general settings page instead of having to "hard-code" the individual pages themselves. The Flash Slider promo isn't included in this mod, so it won't change any of that promotion.

To do this, I created a category tree (WELCOME_PROMOS) in the xcart_categories table. The entire category is by default set to “DISABLED” so that it won’t be displayed in any dropdown menus. This category tree is where you will upload your promo images (just like uploading any other category image). The sub-categories correlate to the individual promotions images.

(Example: )
(ROOT)
WELCOME_PROMOS
(SUB-CAT)
FEATURED_IMAGE_BOX
(SUB-CAT)
FIB_LARGE (740 X 240)
(SUB-CAT)
FIB_LG_01 (image 1 in the Featured Image Box Large Promotion)
FIB_LG_02 (image 2 in the Featured Image Box Large Promotion)
FIB_LG_03 (image 3 in the Featured Image Box Large Promotion)
FIB_LG_04 (image 4 in the Featured Image Box Large Promotion)

ETC. ETC.

From the ADMIN/GENERAL SETTINGS page click on the individual promo link on the right. That will take you to that promo page where you may add titles, descriptions, and links.

Everything needed for this mod, including detailed instructions, patch install/uninstall.sql, and modded .tpl files, is included in the .zip attachment. There are a total of 4 install steps.

Files that have been modded:

/skin/ability/custom/welcome/promotions/accordion/accordion.tpl
/skin/ability/custom/welcome/promotions/featured_box/featured_box_large.tpl
/skin/ability/custom/welcome/promotions/featured_box/featured_box_medium.tpl
/skin/ability/custom/welcome/promotions/featured_box/featured_box_small.tpl
/skin/ability/custom/welcome/promotions/image_roundabout/image_roundabout.tpl
/skin/ability/custom/welcome/promotions/image_slider/image_slider.tpl

REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR DATABASE AND THE ORIGINAL .TPL FILES.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to show accurate Google map locations on the contact page? I have tried hard coding the longitude and latitude in to the map.tpl code but it still keeps going to the street down from us. I have also tried putting the full address that Google places uses on the map but it does the same thing.

Rather annoying as it shows our competitions building instead of ours

Another issue I have is that on the top right of each page there is a drop down menu that only has about in it, how do I fill this with other pages or remove it altogether as I don't really see the point of it if it only has the about page in it.

Here's the one I mean.

1) Re. map, for a more precise marker location, in skin/ability/custom/addons/maps/maps.tpl

Replace...

Code:

Address : "{/literal}{$config.Company.location_zipcode}, {$config.Company.location_country}{literal}",

With...

Code:

Address : "your more exact location here",

You may be able to insert longitude/latitude values in their also. Might take a little experimenting with to get exactly right.

2) Re dropdown for static pages, in skin/ability/customer/main/pages.tpl

Replace...

Code:

<form style="float:right;">

    <select onchange="select_go('parent',this,0)" class="chzn-select" style="width:180px;">

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

    {if $p.show_in_menu eq 'Y'}

    <option value="pages.php?pageid={$p.pageid}"{if $smarty.get.pageid eq $p.pageid} selected{/if}>{$p.title|amp}</option>

    {/if}

    {/foreach}

    </select>

    </form>

Thanks Phil, that did the trick with the drop down menu, no idea why it wasn't showing the static pages but looks better with it gone now rather than with it there and not working.

As for the maps, I think this is an issue with Google Maps as it doesn't matter if I put the exact address in or the long and lat it still shows the street down from us. I have tried other addresses and they work fine so it must be something to do with Google Maps, just strange as it works fine on the Google Maps web page.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x - Blank Screen

Hi - I have tried 2 clean install attempts on latest 4.4.5 and in both cases I get almost a blank screen - anyone have any ideas on this?

http://nautical.eziedit.com/

Shows fine in admin area as a template.

I am loading on evaluation mode 4.4.5 at this point - not sure if that would make a difference.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

This usually happens when the patch has not been applied successfully. Try applying it again, then clear the x-cart/template cache.

Have you modified the products grid/row switcher page at all?

I have not modified the products page. I did modify the product details page (with your help)

I believe the ftp is still active that you have used in the past. Would you like to ftp into my files and take a peek? I currently have Special offer disabled.

I found it does help to apply the sql patch to 'Apply SQL Patch" and not "Apply Patch".

Lost 3-4 hours troubleshooting because of that oversight!

PhilJ

02-20-2012 05:51 PM

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Yages, the buttons work, but ensure you've added CSS code for the buttons in your theme CSS file, eg.

Code:

/* BUTTON STYLE */

button.button { background: #002B51 url(../../images/button_bg.png) center repeat-x; color: #fff; font-size: 1.0em; font-weight: bold; }

button.button:hover { background: #000000 url(../../images/button_bg.png) center repeat-x; color: #ffffff; }

Update your skin/ability/custom/images/favicon.ico image too :)

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

I am having a major issue- after installing Ability to a second store I am getting a 500 Internal Server error when trying to view products. I reverted back to Smart Template but still get it there too, in fact I even get it with a generic X-cart template.

It is installed here: www.jetbeads.com/xcart
Here is an item: http://www.jetbeads.com/xcart/CMS-20120214.html

I even get the error if I disable clean urls.

Does anyone have any ideas? Phil installed it for me but I can't seem to get him via email and my store is SOL until I get this resolved.

ON EDIT - crisis is averted... I went ahead and restored a back-up of the store I made just before the installation.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Hay Phil,

Is there a way of showing only categories above a certain position on the top drop down flyout menu? Say something like only show Categories with a position that is set as exactly 666?

The reason I ask is I'd love to use the top flyout menus but as we have so many categories its not possible as it overlaps the menu and ends up listing them all down the page.

I have had a play about with it but can't seem to figure it out, I have used this before for my old design on the flyout menu so I could separate the menu in to certain blocks.

Sure, in skin/ability/custom/addons/menus/horiz/dropdown/dropdown.tpl

After...

Code:

{foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c}

Insert...

Code:

{if $c.order_by gte "666"}

Then before the last...

Code:

{/foreach}

Insert...

Code:

{/if}

You can do the same for subsequent category levels also.

Re: X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Is there a way to have the description tab on the product page to include the short and full description in the same area? It would be handy as a search may take the visitor directly to the product page and some details are only in the short description.

My other task is, I'm trying to get the pagination at the bottom of the page as well as the top on the tabular layout. Any help would be most appreciated.

Brilliant, Thanks Phil that worked perfectly. Just in case someone else is going to use this too, I think where you mention -

skin/ability/custom/main/subcategories.tpl

you mean

skin/ability/customer/main/subcategories.tpl

The pagination at the bottom has been requested by a quite a lot of our regular customers as we have quite a lot of multiple paged categories.

Thanks again

Anyone have issues in Chrome with secure/unsecure mixed content warnings? I've had potential customers not want to register because when at the registration page Chrome tells them that something on the page is not SSL secure. Everything seems to be HTTPS. I even took out the Xcartmods link which is not secure and the Twitter links.

When I was using Smart Template I fixed this by changing my Livezilla help button to HTTPS but that doesn't do it for Ability.
