    Need Different Metadata for ?page=all

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Long discussion so this is just an observation as I may have picked something up wrong.

     

    On V6 the pagination appears to work differently to V5. These doesn't appear to be a link to the View All page so from what I can see you would never get to the URL https://dirtybutter.com/plushcatalog/carters-plush-animals.html?page=all. If you click on the View More link at the bottom of the page until you get to the end then you still stay on https://dirtybutter.com/plushcatalog/carters-plush-animals.html.

     

    Assuming this is the case is there any need for additional meta tags? Or am I missing something?

    Bxslider in 6.0.2 not working

    I have managed to replicate the issue with -5px but it is however a lot more difficult to do.

     

    Haven't managed to recreate this problem so not sure what the cause could be. Have you tried using the start and pause buttons (see earlier post)? Does the start button work if the slide becomes stuck?

    I have noticed the slider action stops if the viewport's dimensions are changed rapidly enough, however minor - sometimes - regardless of the viewport's size. I blamed my browser - Firefox 36.

     

    This is an issue that the developer is aware of. A new release is due soon which should fix the problem. In the meantime there are a few suggested fixes that I will have a look at and report back.

    Fix is

     

    In file foundation/css/jquery.bxslider.css find

    .bx-wrapper .bx-viewport {
        -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc;
        -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc;
        box-shadow: 0 0 5px #ccc;
        border:  5px solid #fff;
        left: -5px;
        background: #fff;

    change setting to

        left: 0px;

    When the bxslider is merged with the foundation framework there is a conflict with the foundation css that effects the layout of the slider. On a large screen the controls on the right to advance the slides are touching the border but they arent on the left. On a mobile the image has no border on the left but a border on the top, right and bottom. I have had a look at the css but can't see where the conflict is.

     

    I also installed another V6.0.2 test site through Installatron and there was no slider at all.

    I've been using http://mailchimp.com/ for some time now and it is free for up to 2000 customers and reasonably priced above that, There are lots of advantages in using this instead of using the cubecart version. You can also integrate it so that it handles signups from your website and the stats it provides are also very good. Also has some built in templates to get you started. Maybe worth you having a look.

    Setting up zones for Paypal

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    I haven't set any zones for PayPal as I have set zones in the all in one shipping plugin. If customers don't live in one of the the shipping zones then they don't get as far as the PayPal screen. Seems to work OK (I assume PayPal defaults to allow all zones unless told otherwise).

    Arrange Categories & Sub-Categories in New CC6

    Having had a closer look at V6 mobile I agree the foundation skin handles things much better than V5. I also like the big screen better unfortunately everthing is going mobile so hopefully V6 will help us keep up. I'm going to work on the foundation skin over the next few days/weeks so hopefully will find a suitable solution.

    The {$CATEGORIES} could be used and formatted accordingly but we also need to think about the responsive side of things. If there are a lot of categories it's going to get very messy, especially on a mobile. On V5 I coded the links in myself as it gives more control over how the navigation looks.


    On http://www.thecosmetichouse.com I have a small list of categories at the top with a link to an A-Z page with all of the categories on. I also have a list in the left column showing the main brands. This works for me.

    On the mobile skin I have a list of the main categories at the top and a seperate page with an A-Z of brands. Personally I think it looks better and is easier for the user to find their way around rather than having to scroll through dozens of categories to get to the popular products.

    I think I will take the same approach with V6. Obviously there is more work doing it manually but I never found a way to autofill the categories that looked any good.

    Save the file and view in browser, should look something like this.

    Very simple but can be formatted using css to get the desired effect.
