X-Cart Adapt Template 4.5.2 +

xcartmods.co.uk brings you another X-Cart CSS template, providing an excellent start to your next project with a multitude of features built in !

It's is called Adapt, principally because it has a responsive layout, which scales nicely from wide desktop screens, to medium sized tablets, down to small mobile screens (320px minimum).

This can eliminate the need for a costly separate mobile version of your store!

While it is impossible to test for every single device, we are confident that it performs well under 'most conditions' and certainly improves the shopping experience for people on mobile devices.

Try the DEMO (v4.5.3 Gold) or try the Responsinator, or try a basic iPhone simulator

Please Note...

THIS TEMPLATE IS AIMED AT DEVELOPERS

This template may not be suitable for beginners. As with all templates, to customise further you will need a good grasp of CSS, HTML and Smarty. You should also have a thorough understanding of the X-Cart system and backend.

The install procedure requires that you have good knowledge of patching the database and modifying PHP / template files.

It's aimed at small-medium sized stores. The mega dropdown category menu many not be suitable if you have a large amount of categories. A horizontal dropdown flyout menu is included as an alternative.

The Socialise and Wibya X-Cart modules have been dropped in favour of our own social sharing addon and comments system.

There is PHP encoding in place, purely for licensing purposes. No code 'calls home', or relies on a licensing server.

A development license option is available, giving you unlimited use of the template. Ideal for web design agencies.

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

Looks Awesome Phil! :D/ Love the features and how it indeed adapts to the size of the screen. Also really like the mini cart, the search with pictures, the FAQ, the option of multiple downloads and videos and the tab approach to the home page and the icons on the tabs on the products pages. Very Very cool! can't wait to buy it and provide users the ease of navigation and eye candy you have provided!

I noticed that you mention 'no more three column layouts' Why is that? I mainly used that third column for news and more importantly for an easy place to see the 'LIVE CHAT'... where can I put that icon now? As we do have many customers chatting with us live... and want them to easily find that icon....

Also, where do you suggest we put the 'sign-up' for our newsletter (we use constant contact)?

Does the Adapt have all the features that your ability template had? Ie.. The tag on the top right hand side (the one that you click on and it says 'free shipping' etc, etc?

What features have you removed if any from the Adapt template?

Thanks again for creating this awesome template and we can't wait to implement it as soon as you allow us to buy it, download it..

Best

Alberto

Ps. On the features of FAQ for products, downloads etc, is there the facility of importing these via a file into the MySQl database? We have thousands of items always changing - Used Medical Equipment - and it would not be practical to enter these details one by one on the X-cart Admin...

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

Looking nice Phil love how it works with the mobile, some nice features here and nice that it works for keeping site speedy....

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

Phil well done .... SWEET!!!

Now get back to work ... :') And don't forget to go back and answer the Ability thread, you have far to many questions waiting to be answered!

Again, Congrats Adapt looks great and on my iPad and touch iPod it not only looks great but worked great. I did not notice any lag or slowness on any of my devices or on PC or iMac using safari and firefox.

Sweet!!!

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

Phil, this looks great!

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

very nice. Now what do I do with my other two templates (Smart & Ability) I've purchased from you...lol Just as I'm trying to get the site setup the way I want I now think I need the Adapt Template. A lot of money spent and still not done. Great work.

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

If it is any consolation, you arn't the only one :D

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

Thank you all for your feedback. It's taken a while to get Adapt working the way I want and to have a product that's as bug-free as possible from the start.

The recent frequent updates to X-Cart have also slowed down the launch a bit. It was intended to be released around the time of v4.5.0.

I'm giving a generous $50 discount off Adapt to everyone who's previously purchased one of our other templates. Hope that helps people out.

Re: X-Cart Adapt Template
 

That's cool. You had done something similar when releasing the Ability before.

I put my website similar to some of the Sound Quality competitor's vehicles that I build. Every year or after a big competition they bring the car back to me to completely gut and redo with something different. The work never seems to be done.

Hopefully with the Adapt template I can get it where I want it so I can start loading products into it. That has been the problem with the site the way it is now. Can't get it to the way I want so I never get anything really loaded into it. I have quite a few mods that were conflicting with the template that I couldn't get figured out. You were really busy so I didn't want to bug you and then manufacturers of the mods didn't want to help me too much because they would say "it's the template". So in the end the website just sits "stuck" until I can find the time to work on it which never seems to come along with two small kids and myself working till 9pm or later every day running the streets installing on-site around the city.
