'Add to Cart' Alert Message

graffix · #21 03-07-2011, 10:14 AM

Yeah I just did that again to be sure, same error in firebug. It's like cart_alert.tpl is never being included... I have tried every skin that is in the default installation. The one I see on the demo site is light and lucid, this is the right skin correct? I have added the code to head.tpl instead of service_head.tpl, tried all types of different code placements and I jsut can't get this working.

And make sure you are modifying the correct file for the skin you are using

Man, this is entirely too difficult, I'm not an xcart guru, the instructions are SIMPLE. I really have a hard time seeing how anyone could screw this install up. The fact of the matter is they just plain don't work or are wrong entirely, what skin is this supposed to work with?

Is there ANYONE on these forums that can offer a better explanation than, yeah, you just got to add all the right code in the right places?

cflsystems · #25 03-07-2011, 10:35 AM

It works with all skins. You just have to put the code in the files your store uses. For example if you are using 2 column skin you have to edit the files in skin/2column directory if they exist there. Editing these files in skin/common_files will have no effect

Ok, thank you for that, that sheds a little light. However, on the skin i'm using these files don't exist in the customer directory, so do I copy them there? I assumed that xcart would default to the ones in the common_files/customer folder if there weren't any for the current skin, is this wrong?

cflsystems · #27 03-07-2011, 10:43 AM

If the files do not exists in the skin you are using then cart uses the common_skin files

graffix · #28 03-07-2011, 10:46 AM

Yeah, so I'm back to square one then...I just don't get it. The light and lucid 2 and 3 column don't use their own version, and I've changed the service_head.tpl under /skin/common_files/customer, is this the right file?

cflsystems · #29 03-07-2011, 10:58 AM

That's what the instructions say.
Do you have the speedup tools for js and css turned on? Try turning them off and see if it works

I have a question for the creator of this mod, have you ever installed this mod on a new installation of xcart gold 4.4.2? I really think that I have explored every option with this mod, and I can't get it to work...anyone up to look over what I have completed in teamviewer and offer me their opinion. Also, thanks cflsystems, I did have both of the speed-up tools enabled, but disabling them didn't change anything. This si the response I got from Steve Stoyanov, I believe he authored the original.

Ah ok. You are probably not uploading all files and not making all the calls. The shadow box jquery has to load from <head> section. And do not make the jquery call - XC has it already
