It is working now for the featured products so I try to do the same thing with Special offer on the home page. So I create the file

/ability/custom/addons/image_preview/image_preview_bestseller.tpl

by changing $f_products to $bestsellers and change the other 2 files

/store/modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.php

add

# Ability Template
if ($config['Ability_Template']['abi_addon_image_preview'] == 'Y') {
if (!empty($bestsellers)) {
foreach($bestsellers as $key=> $product)
$bestsellers[$key]["image_url"] = func_query_first_cell("SELECT image_path FROM $sql_tbl[images_D] WHERE id=".$product["productid"]);
}
}
# /Ability Template

and /ability/modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl

replace

<a href="product.php?productid={$product.productid}" class="preview"{if $config.Ability_Template.abi_addon_image_preview eq "Y" && (($main eq "catalog" && $cat eq "0") || $main eq "search") && $product.image_url} data-tooltip="sticky_{$product.productid}"{/if}>

But the thumbnail image did not appear. Anyone know why?

Probably mid-July, It's a pretty big job but I'm trying my best to get it ready ASAP. Yes, it will be mobile-tablet-desktop friendly, having a responsive layout throughout.

I'll be using it as the basis for my own store, so it's in my best interests to get it ready also

It will be available for v4.5.1+ only... I am trying build-in as many cool mods as possible without bloating it. The emphasis will be on speed and SEO.

I'm taking features requests by PM.

Hi Phil, Can the new mobile template be set up as a second template with desktops using Ability and mobile-tablet using the new mobile template? Thanks, Paul

Yes, I don't see why not, however you'd need a device detection script, plus a skin selection script.

With Adapt, we are trying to make X-Cart "responsive" throughout, so that it works pretty much across all devices, without the need for a separate mobile template.

I'm having the same problem - does anyone know how to fix this?

The 404 page shows a totally different skin than Ability on 4.4.5

XCart 4.4.5 now serves the 404 error page (somehow) by way of a template found here skin/common_files/404/404_en.html which renders an error response page that doesn't even remotely resemble the Ability template. The 404 template file can be customized--though it doesn't look easy to customize it to match the rest of my site (and the source code is protected).

Can a 404 error page be enabled/created that meets 404 standards AND reproduces the header/footer/main menu of the Ability template pages of my site? How?

Thanks as always for help with this (brilliant) template.

XCart 4.4.5
Ability Template 1.051
www.twinoakshammocks.com is the live URL.
The development URL is not live on the web (is in a password protected folder).
