X-Cart forums

Hi Mike,

It's not in this thread actually, but here's the details:

X-Cart 4.6.1 (Business)
Reboot 2.2
IE: 11.0.9600.16659

I also SOMETIMES get it on the first page loading when in Chrome Version 34.0.1847.131 m

The website is http://www.synergydirect.com
Generally it's the main banner that on the first loading it shows at 50% height.

By default it's set to 100% height/auto, since it resizes based on the browser width. I've attempted using the CSS and @mobile etc to specifically set height and widths, but it doesn't seem to affect things in IE.

The next step is replacing the preloading images call and replacing the lazy loading of slides. Haven't done that, but will be attempting that tonight/tomorrow morning.

I briefly looked at replacing the slider with Soliloquay. I'm a huge fan of Soliloquay, a wordpress slider that kicks major butt - too bad they don't make a stand alone version though

Actually when I first loaded it in IE, it rendered properly. Then when I closed the browser and came back, it didn't. Then refresh the page, loads fine. That is a frustrating problem to try and track down!

I like the woo flexslider myself: http://www.woothemes.com/flexslider/

Acts a lot better when resizing the browser in my opinion : here is an example in X-cart: http://www.ghpnutrition.com/

Edit:
Looks like it is initially getting its height from:
.owl-item.loading{
min-height: 150px;
background: url(../images/loading.gif) no-repeat center center
}
in skin/reboot/reboot_sliders_carousel.css

It sounds like you already suspect this, but the javascript that resizes based on height is using the lazy loading temp image to base itself on. so removing the lazyload will probably fix the issue. In the JS you should find:
// Banners Module
//---------------------
$(".banner_slider").owlCarousel({
autoPlay: 5000,
slideSpeed: 500,
paginationSpeed: 500,
transitionStyle: "fade",
pagination: true,
paginationNumbers: false,
lazyLoad: true,
singleItem: true,
items: 1,
scrollPerPage: true,
autoHeight: true,
responsive: true,
mouseDrag: true,
touchDrag: true,
navigation: false,
});
Try setting lazyLoad in the above code to false just to see if that affects it.

How to update? I know I can send in a ticket to get the files but how to maintain a child theme during the update when I had to re-structure for example the product page (html/tpl code) before?

Conor, in skin/reboot/css/reboot_sliders_carousels.css

Replace...

/* preloading images */
.owl-item.loading{
    min-height: 150px;
    background: url(../images/loading.gif) no-repeat center center
}

With, eg.

/* preloading images */
.owl-item.loading{
    min-height: 296px!important;
    background: url(../images/loading.gif) no-repeat center center
}

With 296px being the largest scaled height of the slider images in desktop view.

You can set..

autoHeight: false,

In skin/reboot/js/reboot.js

Hi Phil,
How can I set positions of the products in the manufacturer page.Currently I can set positions of the products in category page manually but how to do that on manufacturer level also?

Also in our store default search is not working reboot ajax search is showing one results but normal search is displaying different products.

Where is the mismatch?

Please provide me a solution.

Thanks.

Is this available/compatible with X-Cart 5?

No only v4.6.x at the moment. X-Cart v5 is a completely different platform.
