Hi Phil !

Wow! I better start sleeping now

A couple of questions please.

1. Are you changing from WordPress to your own CMS?
2. Is there a way to incorporate "srcset" into reDUX?

My WooCommerce competition is killing me when it comes to Google displaying my images in my listings. WordPress makes use of srcset and my blog post images display nicely but because x-cart does not use srcset Google does not display many of my images like they do for WooCommerce.

Thanks again for all you do!

Hi Paul,

1) There's basic blog functionality available, whereby you just elect one of your parent categories as the main blog category, example.

Or you can use the included Wordpress addon, example.

2) reDUX uses lazysizes for general lazyloading, so there is scope to use SRCSET in X-Cart, but there's also JSON-LD to encourage Google in the listings.

Don't forget the image sitemap generator also.

You can PM me your competitors URL(s) and I'll take a look to see how they are doing it.

lazysizes uses size and picture so that should work and JSON-LD will be the icing

Thank you so much! Paul

For those using the Wordpress blog, I've found a workaround for the script-loader.php issue.

In /blog/wp-content/themes/alienship/functions.php

At the end insert...

if (!is_admin()) {
    wp_deregister_script('jquery');
    wp_register_script('jquery', '', '', '', true);
}

After that, future wordpress updates should not break the blog.

When I access the admin page, I've to login multiple times for it to work. The first time I login, it loads the admin page. But when I click on any other links on the page, I've to login again. This happens about 2-3 times consecutively. Then it seems to work normally. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Phil,

I must be missing something obvious, but can't seem to find how to generate an html out of the entries in languages for FAQs Q and A.

I understand how to update a file, like {**{include file="custom/footer/footer_heading.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_reboot_footer_heading_CT} *} Where I can add an 'html' file, such as frequently_asked_questions.html

Should I be able to generate an html file from the languages FAQs entries, or are these enabled some other way. I'm missing something, but can't figure out what.


Thanks.

Peggy

Hi Peggy, create a new FAQ static page and use this code...

{include file="custom/faqs/general_faq.tpl"}

Ensure "Parse Smarty tags in the content of embedded static pages" is checked in Admin > General Settings > Misc

Then use the admin reBOOT menu to modify the Q&A language labels.

Or you can edit and apply the attached SQL patch which contains all the Q&A's.

If you want to display product FAQs, install the 'Product Additional Data' addon.

Hi Phil,

What I needed was to create a static page with the following

{include file="custom/faqs/general_faq.tpl"}

THANKS!

Hi Phil,

I've decided I do NOT need/want the wordpress blog add-on into reboot.

I'd like to clean up my store from the un-needed files.

In addition to 'unchecking' the blog admin in the reBoot templates,

Can I just

1) delete the blog folder

2) remove the update to .htaccess for the blog access in the root directory

3) delete the wpxxx tables from the db?

Of is there some 'uninstall' of the wordpress blog that needs to be done?

Thanks

Peggy
