Anyone have issues in Chrome with secure/unsecure mixed content warnings?

This is a useful FF addon...

Sent you an email 1st March no reply, Its about adding the Easy View Variants to your mod, can you please reply

Yages, I don't see why the mod shouldn't work, there's not many steps. If you want us to perform the install you'll need to purchase an hours support.

Thanks- that fixed it.

Is a way to make the Ability skin have a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the page at all times? Just about every website has that ability except the Ability template.

skin/ability/custom/css/common.css

Replace...

html { overflow-x: hidden; }

With...

html { overflow-x: visible; }

I recently bought a copy of this template and it's working out fine. I don't need many of the features but it was worth it to me just for the basic layout and snow effect. Just hacking my way through some of the CSS at the moment

I don't think lightbox is working on my site and as I'm not very familiar with the features I don't know what else isn't working properly. The image gallery certainly doesn't and I'm pretty sure this will use lightbox -any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this ?

Update: Lightbox now working after server company upgraded the PHP from 4 to 5- Thanks to Phil for pinpointing the problem

Six Weeks with no answer to my support ticket questions, I guess I'll post them here:

1) I'm stuck figuring out where I should place the proper edits into Ability with another add-on. This is BCSE's "Advanced Product Ratings & Reviews" add-on.

I've attached the installation instructions. The below install steps are all in skin/common_files locations.

Steps #5, 6A, 8a, 10 (There is an attachment on the ticket)

2) Covered Compare Button:

I've attached a screenshot image that shows the "compare" button covered by the lower product tabs. Can this be relocated up, or do you have a better suggestion for its location and how to get it there?

The line in question:

<input class="image-button" type="image" alt="Product comparison" src="/skin/common_files/images/spacer.gif">

I cannot figure out what page/template it is in.

NOTE: I found something out on accident regarding the covered "compare" button issue. If I uncheck "Display product description in first tab/accordion item" in the Ability options, then the button can be seen. But, why are the comparison class items then populating within the product details? Shouldn't these be in a new tab or popup? It makes the product details extremely long down the page. Am I missing something in the options/settings?

3) I will be making modification's to the install of Bill's OnSale mod as well - as soon as I get a chance. It would be great if you posted the changes required to use various popular mods with Ability in FAQs for the template. The general "anything in common_files is overwritten" is too vague.

Hello
Go to line 11 common.css and change from hidden to:

html { overflow-x: visible; }

Any files in skin/ability, will override those in /skin/common_files

If your not sure just check in the skin/ability folder and compare it with the /skin/common_files e.g if the file is in both and you need to make an edit for a module just make the changes to both as it wont do any harm as far as i'm aware. (it just means the module will work for the standard xcart skins too) and make sure you do backups. You have nothing to lose, it's just lazyness! I have around 10 modules or more on my site and it's easy to figure out how to install them, abilitys file structure is excellent.

Personally since it's Phils template I would just buy an hour of Phils time. I'm sure he'll be able to install the modules that you need installed, it's not a lot of money and it's great peace of mind that your site will function correctly.

CenturyPerf, I'm going to put up additional info regarding installing third party mods to Ability, but the same concept still remains...

Any files that exist in /skin/ability, will override those in /skin/common_files

It's not vague, it's just the way the v4.4.x template system works.

There are not many files that differ in Ability. Any files that do differ from the standard x-cart template structure, I'll try and post here...

One is...

skin/common_files/customer/main/product.tpl = skin/ability/customer/main/product_above.tpl

This is because, in Ability, you have the option of placing product info above, or below, in tabs or not.

You can always enable the x-cart debug console to get a better idea of the template you need to edit.

I will setup the demo to use the comparison module and if code corrections are required, I'll post here.
