For V2, it would be better if you can make the "add to cart popup" smaller for mobile phones. Right now it is not functional for a phone, so I've had to turn this mod off.

Thanks costanza, this is fixed in v2. I have set to 480 pixels wide, you can go smaller if you want. It is also now resizable and draggable.

There are still some modules to be tested and some more coding to be done. So it's still some way from final yet.

Please don't register or put any test orders through, thanks.

Hello Phil
Great to see the V2 demo. I am not first to comment but I can claim that I was the first to visit the site.

• The social network icons looks great and happy to see nearly all main social networks are now included.
• TABs are now more smarter.
• "Add to Cart" windows looks great.
• Products display with sorting options is great.
• Column titles with icons looks more attractive.
• Mini cart "great"..
• Next and previous product now looks great.

Now curiously waiting for the release. Hope to see soon on my server.
Great work done, Wish you best of luck.
Regards

Phil, I have a question regarding the function of the built in X-Cart 4.6.x "On Sale" Module. It appears that some of the functionality, such as "Show on sale products first in product list" and displaying a "sale" icon over the product image, does not function in ReBoot V1. Am I missing something here to make this work (I searched this thread and don't see any other reference to it), or will/can compatibility with this built in module be improved to display the sale icon over the product and sir the sale products first within the product list.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Bill, onsale products should be displaying first in the products search results, if that onsale module option is checked.

If you're still stuck, post a ticket and I'll take a look at your store.

Hi Phil,
I have an order pending from the 4th for a client for this template. Please look into it so we can get it and continue with our project.

Thanks,
Carrie

Thanks Phil! I see the emails now. That email is a white list only email I forgot that I used and your email wasn't on the list yet. I see the emails in spam. I'm adding your domain to the white list now.

Hi Phil,

I would like to add responsive content to some static pages of a 4.5.5 site with Reboot installed. The content look/layout would be similar to the x-cart's home page main content, eg, having 2 columns layout in desktop screens, with all the text headings and graphics. What would be the most efficient way to create it?

To create it in Dreamweaver for example, I guess it would not be feasible, since Dreamweaver has it's own responsive css stylesheet and would interfere with that of Reboot skin, right?

Would it be efficient to create it with the built-in html editor of Reboot and use a combination of it's internal styles and additional custom styles?

In reBOOT v1.x you just have to utilise the Bootstrap 2 responsive grid framework, which is made up of 12 columns...

http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html

<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span6">Col 1</span>
<div class="span6">Col 2</span>
</div>

reBOOT v2 uses Bootstrap 3, so the grid coding is slightly different...

http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">Col 1</span>
<div class="col-md-6">Col 2</span>
</div>

I don't advise using Dreamweaver when editing Smarty templates.
