[[Resolved] Product List H3 title shortened - issue]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with the H3 title given to product list in categories for instance. I am guessing that the title has a limited number of characters given and if the title exceeds that threshold it gets shortened with 3 dots. Not good ! I have been searching through the css files to address the problem but I have yet to find the source. I also tried to reduce the size of that H3 title but only managed with desktop, not with small devices but not sure that this is the right approach anyway.

Thanks for your help.

Many thanks

Thanks, I thought so too.

[[Resolved] Improved search facility - ElasticSearch]

Much has now been discussed and requests have been made to improve the search facility on Cubecart which is not powerful enough. I came across this article based on Magento using ElasticSearch.

iweb.co.uk/2015/08/improving-magento-search-results-with-elasticsearch/

I was wondering whether you think this may be something that could be used with Cubecart to make the search more intuitive providing more powerful results thus higher sales ratio ?

Many thanks

You got it again !!! I always refresh page, cubecart cache but nothing was working so I decided to clear all my browser cookies and boom it worked :-)

Many thanks. Off for the weekend now and a nice glass of wine, well deserved only if I say so myself :-)

Have a good week-end.

OK, talked too fast, all OK in Firefox but Chrome is not happy.

Qty - 1 +  appears all fine until you try to add more than one and it is impossible, instead, the letter NaN appears instead of the number. If I try to reduce the qty, same issue, all blocked.

It only lets me to add to basket.

[[Resolved] Help required with the Qty function on product page]

Fantastic ! All resolved.

What I did at the end was to replace <div class="medium-2 columns show-for-medium-up">

by <div class="small-12 columns"> to create enough space for the buttons and to make it work on mobile screen as currently there is no qty shown, only on the mobile checkout page.

Super pleased. Many thanks for your prompt and accurate advice :-)

Hi,

Just done these changes, a number now appears between the signs +/- which is new and good but it does not add to basket.

Hi bsmither,

Thank you. I will message you the details, if I may, as it is password protected at the moment to prevent google crawling. I hope that's OK.

Hi,

I was hoping someone could bring me assistance as to slightly modify the qty function on the product page.

Basically, on the product page, the qty is shown via a box but on the mobile checkout page, Cubecart is using a text "Qty abbreviated" followed by a sign - or +.
I would like to use this "Qty + or -"  instead of the box on the product page.

So on the content.product.php, I replaced coding:

<input type="text" name="quantity" value="1" maxlength="6" class="quantity required text-center">
 <input type="hidden" name="add" value="{$PRODUCT.product_id}">

by that of the content.checkout.small.php for the quantity:

{$LANG.common.quantity_abbreviated}
            <a href="#" class="quan subtract" rel="{$hash}"><svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#icon-minus-circle"></use></svg></a>
            <span class="disp_quan_{$hash}">{$item.quantity}</span>
            <input name="quan[{$hash}]" maxlength="6" class="quantity required text-center" type="hidden" value="{$item.quantity}">
            <span id="original_val_{$hash}" class="hide">{$item.quantity}</span>
            <a href="#" class="quan add" rel="{$hash}"><svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#icon-plus-circle"></use></svg></a>

Qty + or - now appears on my product page but some modifications are required. I changed the value, the class, etc, I have played around a bit but I am no coding expert and sometimes, I found my way but not this time !

Would anyone know what needs to be changed ?

Many thanks,

S.

 

[Filter/Refine Plugin ?]

Hello,

I have been looking at the existing plugins in the marketplace and I cannot see one that offers a filter function. Maybe I missed it ?

Basically, what I am looking for a filter function per category. For instance, once on category tee-shirts & tops, the customer can narrow down its selection by colour, size, fabric or gender. Very much like this website, https://www.joules.com/Womens-Clothing/Tunics-Tops?mmid=Women-_-Clothing-_-Tops, see "FILTER BY", or this one,  http://www.crewclothing.co.uk/jackets-gilets/ , with the "refine" function on the left hand side.

Many thanks

[Sub category horizontal menu to expand 100%]

Thanks bsandall for your advice. I have already been "playing"  with the CSS of the drop down section, changing colour, etc but I have not managed to change successfully the width. Reading through Foundation forum, it does sound like it is not for amateurs but I will persist. I have been using Firefox inspector but have yet to see how I can amend live with it rather than changing my core files in cpanel.

Hi marka2326, I contacted the owner of the website. He modified the css himself but he is also using Cubecart 5 ... his menu required some jQuery and he suggested this link:

https://www.sitepoint.com/make-a-mega-drop-down-menu-with-jquery/

In the meantime, I found this article (from that lead http://foundation.zurb.com/forum/posts/36800-f6-and-mega-menus) which I need to study and try to put into application: https://zurb.com/university/lessons/nav-components-part-1-design-advanced-navigation-with-mega-menus.

 

[Sub category horizontal menu to expand 100%]

Still no taker ?

I stumpled upon this Cubecart website (https://www.kapray.com/) and it has a much improved top navigation menu with 2 sub category levels.

Would anyone know who has done the work as it is this level of layout I am after. I will also contact the owner of the website, they may tell me who has modified their menu.

Many thanks

[Sub category horizontal menu to expand 100%]

Just stumbled upon this post on the foundation forum with the same question. There is one suggestion offered but it is looking above my capabilties and timing ...

http://foundation.zurb.com/forum/posts/12484-horizontal-dropdown-menu-bar-stretching-width-of-page

 

[Sub category horizontal menu to expand 100%]

Hi,

I am trying to improve the display function of the sub category of the top horizontal menu. Basically I have several sub categories and sub sub categories. When viewed on a desktop, it is really not user friendly as the foundation css is a cascade over the content page already full of images and text. See image below:

I think it would be best if the sub category section was 100% width to mask the content underneath. I have tried to play with the css top-bar-section with no luck.

Does anyone know which css attribute I should change ?

Many thanks

[Impossible to reset password after upgrade - RESOLVED]

My host sorted it all out so query RESOLVED.

[Impossible to reset password after upgrade - RESOLVED]

Hi

Indeed, the original question was regarding CC6 login but issues arose with the LIVE 4.4.2 as the two are linked being on the same server.

Update: my host has managed to resolve it all expect for one line which I am querying with them but hopefully one of you will know the answer too. I still get the following message on all back end pages of V4.4.2 as well as on printed invoices:

Strict Standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class admin_session in /home/xxxx/public_html/classes/session/cc_admin_session.php on line 42

Technically there is no support for the old Cubecart any longer, I know, but if someone has the knowledge to my 2 questions I would be very grateful:

1. Is that message critical and a worry to be addressed ?

2. How can I remove it so that it does not print on all invoices ?

I still need to run the V4 while the upgrade V6 gets completed, hopefuly before Xmas now ....

Many thanks again.

S.

[Impossible to reset password after upgrade - RESOLVED]

Hi Noodleman,

My host moved my entire website, the LIVE V 4.4.2, which includes the testing upgrade V6.0.11 under a subfolder to a newer server. It is called a different name.

My mistake regarding password reset, it was a very old email address I should have used, now sorted. However, Cubecart 4.4.2 does not seem to like PHP 5.5, several errors messages on front end:

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/xxxx/public_html/classes/db/db.php on line 45

Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/sef_urls.inc.php on line 208
 

and back end:

Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /home/xxxxi/public_html/classes/db/db.php on line 45

Strict Standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class admin_session in /home/xxxx/public_html/classes/session/cc_admin_session.php on line 42

It is going to be a nightmare. I can see they are currently trying to fix it all. If V4.4.2 cannot cope with PHP 5.5, I will have to separate the LIVE and the testing upgrade on two different servers. Am I right ?

Thanks

[Impossible to reset password after upgrade - RESOLVED]

Hi Noodleman,

I would need to ask my host for that unless there is a way I can check that myself via cpanel ?

S.

[Impossible to reset password after upgrade - RESOLVED]

Hi

Yesterday, I tried to upgrade to the latest version 6.0.12 but the server was running on a lower PHP. My host has now migrated our website to their newest server. I tried to log in again this morning and my login details are not recognised anymore. I decided to reset the password and it does not even recognise my username and email. I am therefore looked out altogether.

How do I go from there ?

Thank you

["Filter By"/"Refine By" Plug-in ?]

Hello,

I am after a plug-in or a solution to have a "Filter by" or "Refine By" option for specifications like colour, size, sleeve, etc. Very similar to this one for instance http://www.johnlewis.com/browse/women/womens-tops/_/N-fm4

Any suggestion ?

[Multi Channel Stock Inventory/Sales Management System]

Hi,

Which multi channel stock/order management systems would you recommend best to work with Cubecart and other platforms like Ebay, Amazon, etc ? I am aware that there is a very good plugin for Ebay but it will not be enough if you sell across other channels or have more than one domain using the same stock.

I googled that query and came up with a few like Linnworks, Expandly, brightpearl.com, e-trackit.co.uk, stitchlabs.com, some looking super expensive for a small business.

Thanks,

Sandrine
