Firefox (4.0) is hiding product prices; also after upgrading IE 8 to IE 9, I realized prices are missing. Everything works great with Chrome. Many thanks for any suggestion┘

Just tested the demo with FF4 and don't see any issues so far.

Thanks Phil,
Your response helped me to realize that I had to make a mistake┘
I changed overflow margin/padding in main.css to 0.

Thanks.

HIGHLIGHTING OF PRODUCT CATEGORY - Phil before I updated I was able to have the category field highlight whatever category a customer was in. I have a lot of categories and when a customer selects a product category and then is in that category, it was a great help when the product category was highlighted so the customer could quickly see what category they are in. Is there a modification you can post that will make this work with the flyout menus for the smart template. Thanks.

dhaworth, re. highlighting categories, I will look into this and report back here if it's possible.

Here's a quick fix for 'new' and 'random' products not showing the correct URLs to the images.

In...

/smart_new_products.php

and...

/smart_random_products.php

Before...

PHP Code:

$smarty->assign("n_products",$products); 


and...

PHP Code:

$smarty->assign("r_products",$products); 


...respectively, insert to both files...

PHP Code:

# Get Thumbnail
if($products) {
    foreach($products as $key=> $product)
    $products[$key]["tmbn_url"] = func_query_first_cell("SELECT image_path FROM $sql_tbl[images_T] WHERE id=".$product["productid"]);
} 


This will not affect the running of your store, merely speed things up a little.

How do you get the latest version as ours has no image sliders?

Also how hard would it be to update our existing Smart Template install to the latest version?

Hello everyone.

I have a couple of quick questions about modification of the smart template.

First I want to say 2 things:

1) I looked through the pages for a quick answer to this, but 35 pages is starting to get to be alot of "stuff" to "surf".... I'm pretty sure my question is "unique" so far..

2) I want to compliment Phil on the time he has put into this project. I spent 15-20 hours customizing a standard template in this version before I bought his template. The coding, and location of the items (including sliders which I had custom installed on my previous template) is VERY easy to find, and work with. KUDOS to you Phil for keeping things tidy for us! Thank you! In 6 hours I was down to a stripped out "working" version of your template. Thanks. I'll be back for more!

Okay... with that out of the way...

Question:

1) I want to make the layout of the products.tpl (featured and products listing in categories) to be 4 column by default. (you can see I stripped out the "misc" stuff like most t shirt shops)
As it is in Settings> Smart Template Options the "Enable Products Layout" option must be "ticked" to enable the menu for customers to choose. I would like to have the column layout by default and to have the ability to enable the opposite for customers if I choose. Seems like this might be the easiest way.... I want my products (featured, and product lists) to be presented in 4 columns on each page.

2) Recommendation: It would be very helpful for new installs if you would add a link to the patch that corrects the Site Title issue x cart has in it's current installation. Even as a recommendation... I don't think it's there, but I had to gogle it and was lucky enough to find the link you referred another customer to on page......25-30..... I think a simple update of the Installation/ FAQ html would make it VERY simple for us... We all know how important SEO is these days and this was a critical issue for about 20 mins...

3) Recommendation: Black/ grey template? I was a little surprised that there wasn't one for the "dark side" I have another site I will be upgrading soon and it is a "dark" layout like this....

Thanks again, and I can't wait to get my columns set straight....

i am waiting your helping..

In tools -> general settings -> appearance (latter link is on the right), change "number of products per page" to 9. See my site: www.unibindphotobooks.com/shop - I think this is what you're wanting, right?

Then in the Smart Template Options tick the "use standard xCart layout" for products.

Think this will do it.
