Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Mike,

It's not in this thread actually, but here's the details:

X-Cart 4.6.1 (Business)
Reboot 2.2
IE: 11.0.9600.16659

I also SOMETIMES get it on the first page loading when in Chrome Version 34.0.1847.131 m

The website is http://www.synergydirect.com
Generally it's the main banner that on the first loading it shows at 50% height.

By default it's set to 100% height/auto, since it resizes based on the browser width. I've attempted using the CSS and @mobile etc to specifically set height and widths, but it doesn't seem to affect things in IE.

The next step is replacing the preloading images call and replacing the lazy loading of slides. Haven't done that, but will be attempting that tonight/tomorrow morning.

I briefly looked at replacing the slider with Soliloquay. I'm a huge fan of Soliloquay, a wordpress slider that kicks major butt - too bad they don't make a stand alone version though :(

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Actually when I first loaded it in IE, it rendered properly. Then when I closed the browser and came back, it didn't. Then refresh the page, loads fine. That is a frustrating problem to try and track down!

I like the woo flexslider myself: http://www.woothemes.com/flexslider/

Acts a lot better when resizing the browser in my opinion : here is an example in X-cart: http://www.ghpnutrition.com/

Edit:
Looks like it is initially getting its height from:
.owl-item.loading{
min-height: 150px;
background: url(../images/loading.gif) no-repeat center center
}
in skin/reboot/reboot_sliders_carousel.css

It sounds like you already suspect this, but the javascript that resizes based on height is using the lazy loading temp image to base itself on. so removing the lazyload will probably fix the issue. In the JS you should find:
// Banners Module
//---------------------
$(".banner_slider").owlCarousel({
autoPlay: 5000,
slideSpeed: 500,
paginationSpeed: 500,
transitionStyle: "fade",
pagination: true,
paginationNumbers: false,
lazyLoad: true,
singleItem: true,
items: 1,
scrollPerPage: true,
autoHeight: true,
responsive: true,
mouseDrag: true,
touchDrag: true,
navigation: false,
});
Try setting lazyLoad in the above code to false just to see if that affects it.

How to update? I know I can send in a ticket to get the files but how to maintain a child theme during the update when I had to re-structure for example the product page (html/tpl code) before?

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Conor, in skin/reboot/css/reboot_sliders_carousels.css

Replace...
With, eg.
With 296px being the largest scaled height of the slider images in desktop view.

You can set..
In skin/reboot/js/reboot.js

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Phil,
How can I set positions of the products in the manufacturer page.Currently I can set positions of the products in category page manually but how to do that on manufacturer level also?

Also in our store default search is not working reboot ajax search is showing one results but normal search is displaying different products.

Where is the mismatch?

Please provide me a solution.

Thanks.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Is this available/compatible with X-Cart 5?

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

No only v4.6.x at the moment. X-Cart v5 is a completely different platform.

I'm trying to get the two rss feeds setup on a cron job. I can't get the regular stuff to work. Are there any instructions anywhere.

php /home/username/public_html/reboot_rss_news.php

Thanks

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

This is working for me

lynx -dump http://www.YOUR_URL/reboot_rss_news.php

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Any solution for this issue?

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

xtech, I addressed this already in your tickets / PMs

The dynamic product search, searches product titles. You can disable it if you want, so it uses the default...

reBOOT settings > "Enable dynamic product search"

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Phil,

Since I've done so many modifications to reBOOT I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade from v2.32 to v2.33 and then to v3.0 or if it would be better for me to wait for v3.0...

To go from v2.32 to v2.33 I can us my file comparison software to transfer the changes over instead of having to manually add them in.

Or, is v3.0 different enough that all changes will have to be manually added again?

How's the progress on v3.0 going? :-)

Thanks!

Paul

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Paul, it's up to you, reBOOT v3 may, or may not be a major upgrade. It's hard to say, I haven't decided on new features yet.

v3 won't be available until after X-Cart v4.6.4 is released (~July)

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

I have main categories and subcategories. How can I keep the active main category open with the subcategories shown. I'm talking about the left/right bar vertical categories menu which shows the subcats in a dropdown under the main menu.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

reBOOT settings > Menus > Sidebar menu > One submenu open at a time
reBOOT settings > Menus > Sidebar menu > Save menu state

If you have any issues, set the jQuery CDN URL version to v1.8.3

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Both are ticked and jQuery CDN URL set to v1.8.3 already

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Your website states that you send the files manually. Am I correct in the assumption that if I order on a Friday, the files won't be sent until Monday?

Thanks
Bill

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

You will receive files Saturday morning, at the latest (we are London time).

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Ok, thanks, I will place my order now. Just out of curiosity where in the UK are you?

Bill

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Many thanks Bill, files sent. We're in Somerset.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

How can I make this work?




I also submitted a ticket about the Responsive Audio Player and also asked on the forum a week ago:



How to make this work for a multi-provider store where files need to go to userfiles/userfilesxxx/product_name?

How to use another image sprite for the controls? I need the buttons to be black and not white.

Hi,
I want to purchase Manufacturers (A-Z) for X-Cart Platinum 4.6.1 in my reboot V2.Is it compatible with reboot?If I purchase it will it work?

Thanks.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Yes, I don't see why not.

However, there is a very quick way to do manufacturer A-Z

1) In modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers_list.php

Before...


Insert...


2) In skin/reboot/modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers_list.tpl

At the top, insert...


DEMO

You can remove letters from step 1 if you wish... (I know it should list dynamically, but this is a quick fix)

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Multi Dynamic Search addon added

• Dynamically search products, manufacturers and categories
• Use all in one page, or place individual search fields anywhere you like

Get it here (v2 addons tab)

Hi,
When Infinite scroll was enabled I have seen Page navigation was coming on manufacturer and category page.Now it is not coming.Currently Infinite scroll was disabled.

How to bring page navigation and number of products in any category or manufacturer page?

Thanks.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

You may have made some errors while editing your tpl files, maybe try restoring them, notably skin/reboot/customer/navigation.tpl

I generally think infinite scroll is a bad idea and may hurt your SEO...

Phil, I am working w/ Paul Dodman on my new site redesign. He is trying to complete the horizontal and vertical menu functionality and really needs your support. Can you please contact him?

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

1. Dev can't find the file to edit. Does anyone know where to change the size of the New Arrivals Carousel thumbnail size? I don't mean within admin.

2. Also the mailchimp module from QT breaks the reboot homepage testimonials. Not sure why this happens.


Contacted Phil but got no answer yet and we need to finish work soon.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

1) skin/reboot/css/reboot.css - edit CSS class .thumb_size_small
2) I will check and get back to you

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Thank You so much! I know your very busy too!

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Our main configuration in the horizontal dropdown is 3 columns but in some main categories we need the 2nd level categories to appear per columns with all the 3rds level categories and one column on the right should stay empty. Right now they all appear on after an other and the 2nd level categories aren't on top then. How to achieve this?

Please note, columns are floating DIVs. Depending on the number of third level categories you have, some second level category re-ordering may be necessary to achieve the desired category layout.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Would probably require custom coding. Get in touch so that I can get a better idea of what you require.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

reBOOT v3 / X-Cart v4.6.4 development is under way.

Progress will be posted here. Feedback on what you would like to see in reBOOT v3 is welcome.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Phil, I don't use the custom theme pickers on my site or the site I manage. I do all the CSS edits via the Custom.css file.

Can't Wait!! :D/

Paul

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Phil, I thought I'd throw a little data your way since you're starting v3 now. I'm amazed that I'm already at 40% mobile/tablet. I expected my Bounce & Transactions percentages to be lower on mobile but I'm EXTREMELY happy to see that the percentage is only about a 4% difference compared with the Desktop results. I'll have to dig in to see about the Tablet results.

Thank you so much! reBOOT is definitely working for me!

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

Hi Phil,
I have purchased X-Cart:Sales Advisor Module from qualiteam.Now kindly provide me necessary and supporting files for reboot v2 for this module.

Thanks,
xtech

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

It's good to see that new stuff is coming up but I hope you don't forget that existing versions need support too in order to function.

1. I have installed the Mailchimp module from qualiteam and it breaks the homepage which is a weird thing.


2. How can I reach you if not by ticket?

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

In my experience, the Mailchimp module requires a great deal of tweaking. It is not obvious what the settings should be or what templates need to be included where. We have a very custom setup for this or I would share settings. Just be persistent and one can figure it all out. Nothing to do really with Reboot, just the way X-Cart does Mailchimp.

Re: X-Cart - reBOOT - Responsive Template
 

But we ordered the integration module (not standard) http://www.x-cart.com/extensions/modules/mailchimp-integration.html

Can you please tell me what you did to get this working? When we turn it on, the store front part with the news is not showing correctly.
