Looking good. If less than 5 tabs are used, do they justify vertically or are they aligned top?

Thanks :)

They are aligned top, so it keeps the same image dimensions. You will just have less tabs on display.

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

I see. I noticed it says "no CSS knowledge required". How do you change the color of the tab/button? Manually edit the style sheet?

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

There's two images - tab.png and tab_current.png

The source file is included for both.

To change the right hand side button colour, it's just one line of CSS.

Oh, I see.

Just my 2 cents, but as it seems that you are specifically targeting people with no CSS knowledge, it may be a good idea to simply include the css line in the settings page. Granted, they would still have to use a site like http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp to enter it into the settings page, but that would be one less step.

Also, since it would not take much time to make, you may want to include 10 or so pre-made color buttons (blue, green, etc).

Even if you do not include my suggestions, I still think you have a quality product. Great work.

I had considered adding themes to it, so I'll do that now.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Sweet work! Out of curiosity, what themes did you go with? I can only see "red" in the image.

Feel free to email me the comission fee ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

or... if you would prefer, I would love you long time if you have any potential ideas for http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=64865.

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

change:

Wherever you want the promo box to appear, insert...

{* Promo Box *}
{if $active_modules.Promo_Box}
{include file="modules/Promo_Box/promo.tpl"}
{/if}
{* /Promo Box *}

should be:
4) In skin/YOUR_SKIN_NAME/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Wherever you want the promo box to appear, insert...

{* Promo Box *}
{if $active_modules.Promo_Box}
{include file="modules/Promo_Box/promo.tpl"}

There's a module option to use a dialog box or not - uncheck the option.

A new menu option should appear under the 'content' dropdown menu. Ensure you have cleared your template cache correctly.

You can also access from the modules page or via...

admin/configuration.php?option=Promo_Box

Don't forget it is for v4.4.x and v4.5.x only.

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

I just installed here (v4.4.5) without issue, took 2 mins.

You must be doing something wrong, maybe the SQL patch is not applied correctly.

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

Really dont know, installed it 2 times now

Uploaded the gallery dir under the root files dir
Uploaded the gallery dir under skin/common_files/modules dir
Ran the SQL Patch
Modified skin/common_files/customer/service_head.tpl
Modified skin/common_files/common_templates.tpl
Ran Cleanup

So unless there something missing up above I believe I did all the steps 2x now

Anything you can think of

This is what I see on the front end

Hi Phil

Does it works for v.4.3.2?

Thanks

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

The download doesnt cover that version Lucus, but should be too hard to re-code any changes to 4.3.2

Re: X-Cart Promo Box

Phil,

I need to contact you here, since I haven't received responses over 5 days.

I had to contact QualiTeam to fix the bugs in your mods. They said that two files where the problem with encoding sits are encripted. QT can't access them and fix the problems.

<xcart_dir>/modules/Testimonials/inc/grid.php
или
<xcart_dir>/modules/Testimonials/inc/prepare_grid.php

It's a bit weird that I see you posting here and yet not responding via regular e-mail to your client.

> 1) The mods I have installed will NOT interfere with product ordering. I am
> able to put more than one product into the cart.
Yes, after Commentics were taken off, it started to work. Nobody else
was working in the Admin zone. So, Commentics was removed altogether?

I see. Please have this fixed as well. I see the problem in that for
some reason somewhere in your code the program overrides Cyrillic
encoding 1251 with Western ISO-8859-1 and that garbles the text. Hope,
this would help to find where the wrong code is.

Also, the dates on which testimonials are submitted have no sense. I
tried to change them manually in the Admin zone from meaningless 'ѕЪв
26, 2012' to 'Окт. 26, 2012' and to '26 окт. 2012', but after that the
dates either disappear or there is only the day no. Please look into this.

We need the mods in a working condition, rather then a refund.

Please respond.

Yes, it looks like the case. The problem is that Phil prior to purchase confirmed that the mods are working fine with various languages, but now is not responding...

If Phil says it will work fine then I would imagine it will do, he's very intelligent and I don't see why he would lie to you, you may need to tweak some settings if your language uses symbols.

The last time I spoke with Phil he was very very busy. I'm sure he will respond to your ticket as soon as he can. :-)
