Re: X-Cart reBOOT (reDUX) Template
 

The different category has different FAQs, if I add the codes at subcategories.tpl, all categories will have the same FAQs, if i use if clause to add FAQs, subcategories.tpl will be very big.


I think it is better we can add FAQs from x-cart back end, it is easy for customers to add/modify/delete FAQs.

Re: X-Cart reBOOT (reDUX) Template
 

I'll consider adding category FAQs... need to decide on the best way first.

In the meantime you can just use code like this in /skin/reboot/customer/main/subcategories.tpl

Say, I have 200 categories, the file will be very very big, it is better to save each faq at the database, just add a field.

Hi Phil !!


(I posted in reBOOT by mistake so I deleted there and adding here.)


I'm finally back to working on reDUX and loving it even more!
Question: Is reDUX optimized for Core Web Vitals and do you have any tips for us? Google is set to turn this on in May.

Thank you so much!

Paul

Hi Phil,

Your update download, X-Cart_reBOOT_[reDUX]_4.7.12.4.zip contains REBOOT_VERSION as 4.7.12.5

X-Cart reBOOT reDUX Version 4.7.12.5 with a 1-21-21 date.

Is this zip 4.7.12.5, or should the REBOOT_VERSION file be 4.7.12.4?

Thanks

@ Paul, I'm looking at ways to improve the CWV's, but a lot depends on your server spec/configuration. I've had a few people asking me about this, only to find that they're on cheap shared hosting, or they have poorly optimised images etc.

There's some good tips here BTW...

The positioning of javascript files can't be fixed, it's an age old limitation with X-Cart Classic.

CLS can probably be improved by not using carousels.

reDUX should already score highly for SEO in Lighthouse. Structured data is already taken care of.

@ Peggy, that's a typo, it's still at v4.7.12.4, I've updated the zip file, sorry for any confusion.

Next major update will happen when v4.7.13 gets released, fingers crossed.

How to set the category Second Description to default editor, please?
Or disable the WYSIWYG editor.

Re: X-Cart reBOOT (reDUX) Template
 

In /skin/reboot/admin/main/category_modify.tpl

Replace...
With...
Then in /skin/common_files/modules/Redactor/redactor.tpl

Around line 101, remove...

how to set the numbers of posts will be shown under "Latest from the Blog" at the homepage, say only display 4 latest posts, and let the new posts display in a row, please?

@sinobest, upload attached featured_items_blog.tpl to /skin/reboot/customer/

Then in your home template (skin/reboot/custom/home/home_style_x.tpl)

Replace... With... If you want further help, it would be a paid job.
