    [Resolved] Mican Cursor problem

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    When I hover the cursor over some buttons it doesn't change to hover mode.

    When you click on the buy button there is no indication that you have bought the item, but it does add it to the cart.

     

    Help please

     

    Mican theme V1.0.2

    Update.

    I've found the setting for it to jump to the basket when an item is added, but there is no "continue shopping" button, should there be ?

    Google is reporting that the text is too small, and links are too close together as the biggest problems.

    It's not too much of an issue yet as the majority of my visitors ( according to stats) are using desktop versions, only 2% are using mobile, but it would be great if someone could produce a fully responsive skin to run alongside the other skins available.

    Are there any  paid or premium skins out there ?

    I think this approach will not work. But, the template main.php is where you would add that statement.

    In a sense, "responsive" means that the site's layout gets re-arranged to best display the content on a mobile device, and as the device's viewport gets wider, the layout changes to better show the content.

    In another sense, using the better term "fluid", the layout doesn't change based on the device's viewport width, but squeezes up or widens out to fill the entire width of the viewport. Buut, I think "fluid" does not satisfy Google's definition of "responsive".

    CC5 introduced a distinct and separate skin named "Mobile", and it still works in CC6. CubeCart determines if the device visiting your site is a "mobile" device and if so, will automatically use the Mobile skin instead of the Mican (or other default) skin.

    The description for "Mobile" says it is not compatible with CC6

    When I analyze my site through Google, it's telling me that it is not responsive and fails the Google test.

    Google are recommending that I add 

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

     

    to my site.

    Will this work, and If so which file do I edit with this code ?

    [Resolved] Options and how to use it

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    If this is in the wrong place please move it!

    I'm trying to figure out what the 'Options' function is for in the products, and how to use it.

     

    I'm guessing that it allows you to show variations of product that are the same price eg;

    Shoes > Colour > Size

     

    I just cannot seem to get it to work !

     

    Stock warnings not updating

    I always assumed it was one or the other - so if you want some products to have a different stock warning than the others, you would have to set the warning level individually. Assuming that's correct, you should be able to run a Query in MySQL to add a "default" warning level to each product AFTER you take the Global one off. Then you can change each listing you need to change and specify the desired one with each new product listing.

    There is a setting in the product setup to set the stock warning level, this is the bit that isn't working when you choose "Use Product Specific" warnings, the global setting seems to override it for some reason.

    I have a friend and she's using Shopify. She told me that everything in Shopify is great, the only thing she does not like in Shopify is the fees. If her business is good, it's does not matter to response for the fees. However, in bad cases, she is insufficient to pay for the fees. I'm planning to open my own online business, but still wonder which eCommerce platform should I choose. Is Cubercart really a good choice?

    I found Shopify to be expensive, especially the add ins, and a lot of them don't work how they should.

    A lot depends on where you are in the world, Shopify is very US in it's format, my customers are 99% UK and they didn't like parts of the shop, "Too American" was the biggest observation.

    Personally I find CC easier because I have a bit of HTML knowledge and can work with CSS,  it's a lot more difficult in shopify to make changes to phrases etc.

    shipping costs are a lot more difficult to set up for the UK too, because of the way Royal Mail structure the prices on weight and size.

    In admin, Store Settings, Stock tab, check "Admin stock warning method".

    That is where I made the change, however if you set it to "Use Product Specific" it doesn't work, it still works from the level set in "Global Stock Warning level"

    Google & Facebook pages

    I read recently on an SEO blog that because every man and his dog has a Facebook page, Google no longer gives those pages with less than 7000 "likes" and juice, also in the case of Twitter you need at least number of tweets for the same reason.

    Has anyone read anything to contradict this, the guru's on the official Google forum are refusing to comment.
