Hello everyone.
I have a couple of quick questions about modification of the smart template.
First I want to say 2 things:
1) I looked through the pages for a quick answer to this, but 35 pages is starting to get to be alot of "stuff" to "surf".... I'm pretty sure my question is "unique" so far..
2) I want to compliment Phil on the time he has put into this project. I spent 15-20 hours customizing a standard template in this version before I bought his template. The coding, and location of the items (including sliders which I had custom installed on my previous template) is VERY easy to find, and work with. KUDOS to you Phil for keeping things tidy for us! Thank you! In 6 hours I was down to a stripped out "working" version of your template. Thanks. I'll be back for more!
Okay... with that out of the way...
Question:
1) I want to make the layout of the products.tpl (featured and products listing in categories) to be 4 column by default. (you can see I stripped out the "misc" stuff like most t shirt shops)
As it is in Settings> Smart Template Options the "Enable Products Layout" option must be "ticked" to enable the menu for customers to choose. I would like to have the column layout by default and to have the ability to enable the opposite for customers if I choose. Seems like this might be the easiest way.... I want my products (featured, and product lists) to be presented in 4 columns on each page.
2) Recommendation: It would be very helpful for new installs if you would add a link to the patch that corrects the Site Title issue x cart has in it's current installation. Even as a recommendation... I don't think it's there, but I had to gogle it and was lucky enough to find the link you referred another customer to on page......25-30..... I think a simple update of the Installation/ FAQ html would make it VERY simple for us... We all know how important SEO is these days and this was a critical issue for about 20 mins...
3) Recommendation: Black/ grey template? I was a little surprised that there wasn't one for the "dark side"
I have another site I will be upgrading soon and it is a "dark" layout like this....
Thanks again, and I can't wait to get my columns set straight....
