Just to let you know, the template is being tested with v4.4.3 - All good so far...

Thanks Phil- that works exactly as is. It placed the box right on top and in the middle.

Hi, maybe a little off-topic but I just wanted to highly recommend Phil and his add-on.

I've just done the install today starting from 4.1.3. The upgrade ran quite smoothly. I'm now running 4.4.3 and Phil's template which is awesome.

I had some trouble applying the patch and Phil was lightning fast with his support (and I'm in Australia too!).. His replies were simple and effective and it saved me many hours of mucking around myself!

Absolutely 100% awesome. Thanks Phil.

Cheers
-Paul.

Is it possible to use the X-Cart 4.4.3 speed up tool to optimize the JS/CSS in the Smart Template?

X-Cart now can create 1 CSS bundle for all stylesheets and 1 JS bundle for all scripts. However, Smart Template includes a bunch of files that aren't included in the optimized JS or CSS.

Ideally, the Smart Template files could be packaged together with the standard X-Cart files, but at least, it would be nice if there were just 2 JS and CSS files each, one for X-Cart and one for Smart Template.

This page describes the tool in more detail:
http://help.qtmsoft.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:CSS_and_JavaScript_optimization

For example, it would be great if common.tpl includes would use the load_defer tool like this:

{load_defer file="/skin/smart_template/custom/js/smart_dynamic_search/ajax.js" type="js"}

Is it possible to use the X-Cart 4.4.3 speed up tool to optimize the JS/CSS in the Smart Template?

Yes, it's possible to make some 'load_defers' in skin/smart_template/custom/common.tpl

Eg.

{load_defer file="../smart_template/custom/js/ie6/ie6_redirect.js" type="js"}

However, it appears a limitation of the JS tool, is that it fails on already minified/compressed scripts. CSS files seem to be fine.

I am now running Smart Template 4.4.3. Seems to be working well. Would be awesome if there was a way to automatically remove CSS that is not in use from the css files. For example, I'm not using the carousel and the CSS was still loading images into the background that were not needed.
I've also gone ahead and done some file size shrinking on the background images. Header.png was originally 41KB.... I was able to bring the total size down to just under 15k with minimal quality loss.

Since page load time is a factor in how well a site ranks, it would be nice if there were an easier way to select how "good" of an image you want to load. A bonus would be for a way to quickly remove all CSS elements that are not in use.

Nice theme overall. I'm happy with the purchase.

Edit:
Did I perhaps make too many edits? I'm having a bit of a problem whereas the top horizontal flyout menu goes behind the vertical category menu (on the side). Would anyone happen to know which file controls the positioning of the top horizontal flyout ?

Any ideas as to how to get rid of the line in the attached pic? I hope I didn't mess with a setting to cause it

Thx,

Hoping someone might be able to help me with an install of Smart Template on 4.4.3

I have done over 24 installs & set ups of x-cart, but this is my first with 4.4.3 and first with this template.

The 4.4.3 install went fine and with the Light & Lucid skin I could see my categories and have started putting products in.

I have just followed the step by step guide for installing the template, and as you can see http://www.eatdrinkstainless.com.au/home.php, none of the stylesheets appear to be working, but more importantly, I can't see my categories or my content or anything.

What have I done wrong? I'm usually very good at these things.

I have put a ticket in with xcartmods but it's early Sunday morning and thought someone may be awake and able to help me out.
