X-Cart reBOOT (reDUX) Template

Hi Phil,

I generated new images on a test store of mine where I created a copy of my current live store.

If I want to use these resized images on my 'prod site', what is the best way to do that?

Do I 'rename' the webp suffix to jpg (which is the suffix of my current image P, T, D, C directories, and upload to my live store directories after making a backup of them.

Or do I do something else?

Thanks

Peggy

EDIT: WEBP's now supported

Do I have to know Smarty (in depth) to be able to launch a widget from a mouse over or mouse click in a Slider or Promo image? I'm referring to the new category_grid widget in particular.

@sinobest, edit /skin/reboot/css/x-menu.css to enlarge the menu item widths...

Code:

nav.xmenu ul ul li { width: 200px; float: none; display: list-item; position: relative; }
nav.xmenu ul ul ul li { position: relative; top: -60px; left: 200px; }

@nauticalstyle, you can include that widget anywhere with the following Smarty code...

Code:

{include file="custom/widgets/widget_category_grid.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_categories align="center"}

Or, explain in a bit more detail what you want to achieve...

So I thought, alright, I'll give XC5 a go, having not tried it in years... surely it works ok by now.
Fresh v5.4.1.26 install ... It required a MariaDB upgrade .. ok no problem.
Install went fine, it indicated I should update the apps, so I did.
Next thing, 502 bad gateway.
Thought, ok maybe I need to redeploy the store, so I did.
502 bad gateway.
Maybe an integrity check will fix?

502 bad gateway.

Left with a dud store, with seemingly no way to fix... admin menu buttons don't work either... grrreat.

Edit, then half an hour later, with no intervention by myself, the store starts working again... hmmmm

Theming-wise, doesn't seem to be much choice, aside from changing logo and CSS overrides.

Some admin functions don't seem to work 100% in Firefox...

And don't call me Shirley.

yeah, on the one hand, its great that it updates itself but on the other hand, if their servers have connectivity issued, you're screwed. We use it for a small site we have but I would never change our main site to it and given the price increase soon, we may stop using it.

A cool add-on for this would be a tool that removes images on discontinued/disabled products. I know xc4 doesn't like deleting products outright, it creates database integrity issues. We have 5208 products and add about 50/yr.
