Default Re: How can I add "Other" Social button to V5.1.10

Hi Mike,

First, Thank you for the great videos. Your videos really help me understand X-cart 5 just a little better. I highly recommend anyone who uses X-cart especially v5 to watch your videos.

Can you create a video on how to do all that you mentioned. I can follow along well and I think others would enjoy it too.

I ask this because one reason I moved from the 4.x branch to 5 is that version 5 was touted as being more complete. Sadly I am finding this to be not so true. I purchased the #28 igoods template for v5 and it is nice but it really did not port over from v4 to v5 very well. Now that I have it installed, was done using the Auto install through the control console in the Admin section, "LOVE IT!" well done QT. It is now the only template I can select. I would have thought I could reselect any template currently installed from the admin console just like the 3 templates given with the business edition. So once again it is not like it should be right out of the box.

The main reason I selected the #28 igoods template was for the "Footer" and that fact that I am trying hard to not have to modify the template. I learned my lesson well with the 4.x.x branch. I want the site to auto update as much as possible with out me having to recode with each update. In fact I am not sure I even can code anything anymore. Which is fine with me really.

Is that really possible? I can no longer afford the time or money to have to fix simple things that to me should work right out of the box. And this is one of those thing I think.

In this case, with the business edition, I think it should be standard to offer more than just 3 social buttons. At least offer the top 10, allow people to turn them off if not needed or delete or better yet, replace with what they want. A business edition should have this option at the very least. The basic v5 that is free, oh yes, 3-4 social buttons is enough for a free edition.

Sorry this was so long, but I hope you see my situation concerning x-cart v5. To sum it up. I need to spend more time creating products to sell at my site than I do spending time modifying it and trying to get it to work so I can try to sell my goods.

Your help here is greatly appreciated , really!

Thank you,

SGS

A wise man once said it is best to fix the cart instead of trying to use a broken cart. The horse has a very hard time pushing a broken cart!!
