X-Cart - Ultra - Responsive Template

Bluemonk · #31 10-26-2016, 05:42 AM

Hi Phil, Can you please let me know how to adjust the size and color of the slider overlay in Ultra? Thanks

Look in skin/ultra/css/swipers.css

.swiper-caption { ... }

If you don't use it already, I strongly recommend Firebug for tracking down CSS.

There is an issue with Ultra and the stock Banners module.

When banner is created and only one image is added it can be set to static so there is no rotation. With Ultra however the template takes over and converts all banners into slider. So no matter how you set the banner with one image - it will just loop itself.

Phil you should look into this and not convert banners into slides if not necessary.
Or am I missing some setting?

@Steve, in skin/ultra/modules/Banner_System/banner_rotator.tpl

Replace...

Code:

{foreach from=$banners item=banner}
{if $banner.content ne ''}
{if $banner.nav eq 'Y'}

With...

Code:

{foreach from=$banners item=banner}
{if $banner.content ne '' && $banner.content|@count gt 1}
{if $banner.nav eq 'Y'}

Then in skin/ultra/js/custom/swipers.js underneath BANNER SYSTEM

Replace...

Code:

           autoplay: 3000,

With...

Code:

            autoplay: $this.find('.swiper-slide').length > 1 ? 3000 : false,

If need be, do the same for grabCursor and loop...

Code:

            grabCursor: $this.find('.swiper-slide').length > 1 ? true : false,
            loop: $this.find('.swiper-slide').length > 1 ? true : false,

Thanks Phil, we managed to code a solution that works for us. I just wanted to post for others to know and for feature versions of the skin to be corrected.

When the addons are not installed - in particular "featured category", "testimonials", "wp"... - the log files get filled up with sql errors. The altskin_common.php runs on every page load and queries database for tables which do not exist. This could have been coded in a better way to check for the features or tables and not the way currently is.
Imagine if the site has sql errors email active - admin will get one each time page is loaded....

PhilJ · #39 11-02-2016, 10:55 AM

I don't get any errors whatsoever. Log files are one of the things I check most closely.

You might have an version of altskin_common.php

You can send me the log files if you like and I'll investigate.

Here is an example

The 2 tables and "featured" field in categories do not exist since the addons are not needed and not installed

Also even if the WP is installed the mod will look for its tables within the same XC database. I would never put the blog tables within XC database - it will have its own database. With WP this is mandatory given the fact it is the most hacked platform.

Unless I am missing some setting in admin
