X-Cart Ability Template v4.4.x

Hay Phil,

Is there a way of showing only categories above a certain position on the top drop down flyout menu? Say something like only show Categories with a position that is set as exactly 666?

The reason I ask is I'd love to use the top flyout menus but as we have so many categories its not possible as it overlaps the menu and ends up listing them all down the page.

I have had a play about with it but can't seem to figure it out, I have used this before for my old design on the flyout menu so I could separate the menu in to certain blocks.

Sure, in skin/ability/custom/addons/menus/horiz/dropdown/dropdown.tpl

After...

Code:

{foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c}

Insert...

Code:

{if $c.order_by gte "666"}

Then before the last...

Code:

{/foreach}

Insert...

Code:

{/if}

You can do the same for subsequent category levels also.

Is there a way to have the description tab on the product page to include the short and full description in the same area? It would be handy as a search may take the visitor directly to the product page and some details are only in the short description.

My other task is, I'm trying to get the pagination at the bottom of the page as well as the top on the tabular layout. Any help would be most appreciated.

I would also like to display the short description on the product details page, ideally alongside the thumbnail. Can you point me at the right place for where this layout is set up so I can have a play with it ?

Thanks

If using product tabs...

skin/ability/custom/addons/tabs/tabs_below.tpl

Replace...

Code:

<div id="abi_ptab_1" class="abi_ptab_content descr">
{$product.fulldescr|default:$product.descr}
</div>

With something like...

Code:

<div id="abi_ptab_1" class="abi_ptab_content descr">
<p>{$product.descr}</p>
{if $product.fulldescr ne ""}<p>{$product.fulldescr}</p>{/if}
</div>

Insert...

Code:

Brilliant, Thanks Phil that worked perfectly. Just in case someone else is going to use this too, I think where you mention -

skin/ability/custom/main/subcategories.tpl

you mean

skin/ability/customer/main/subcategories.tpl

The pagination at the bottom has been requested by a quite a lot of our regular customers as we have quite a lot of multiple paged categories.

Thanks again
Ian

Anyone have issues in Chrome with secure/unsecure mixed content warnings? I've had potential customers not want to register because when at the registration page Chrome tells them that something on the page is not SSL secure. Everything seems to be HTTPS. I even took out the Xcartmods link which is not secure and the Twitter links.

When I was using Smart Template I fixed this by changing my Livezilla help button to HTTPS but that doesn't do it for Ability.

We had the same, you will probably find it is the Google fonts.

Fix is in the docs
