Customization help / Categories on mobiles.

« on: September 11, 2018, 10:07:20 AM »

Dear all @Abantecart,

A customer website has a big problem with responsiveness that I cannot find out how to solve.
When I go mobile the categories menu ( I mean the categories list which one can browse in homepage ) is not responsive at all.
In another website made with AbanteCart, I have a dropdown with "Go To..." and all the categories listed, while in this one there's no
"go to" dropdown.

Can someone give me hints on how to get it working ?
In attachment the first site, without responsive dropdown, and the one working.

Thank you.

Template Support / Mobile managing

« on: June 11, 2018, 11:39:00 AM »

Hi everyone.
I read all around the forum posts, but I have a question I cannot figure out.
I checked my custom.js, all the code in all the pages, and everything seems to look fine, BUT
1. when I go mobile I cannot see the GoTo menu
2. clicking the hamburger lines, only the cart appears.
3. The category block I have is seen on mobile AS on PC, and that's a shame...

How can I put category menu into the hamburger AND the cart out of it ?

OR, how can I enable the GO TO menu ? I cannot find instructions about that anywhere...

Thank you,

Carlo.

Customization help / Embedding all products in html website

« on: September 25, 2017, 04:12:00 AM »

Hi.
I am wondering if, even coding, is there a way to embed in a html place on a page in a html website the full list of products available on the shop,
or if it's just a question of taking each product's code and then coding the html to create the 'table' to show them.

Thank you.

Customization help / Submenu not working ...

« on: August 31, 2017, 06:38:06 AM »

Hi everyone and thanks for you answers, as always !
I have a new issue regarding the HOME button on an abantecart e-commerce website.
My customer asked me, times ago, to have only the HOME button, and you helped me getting rid of the standard dropodown with coding the page
category_top.tpl.

Now he asked to put the Privacy Policy and other pages in the dropdown again.
So I did take the code I commented on category_top.tpl :

<ul id="main_menu" class="nav">
               <?php
               $storefront_menu = (array)$this->session->data['storefront_menu'];
               foreach ($storefront_menu as $i => $menu_item) {
                  if ($menu_item['id'] == 'home') {
                     unset($storefront_menu[$i]);
                     break;
                  }
               }?>
               
               <?php echo buildStoreFrontMenuTree($storefront_menu); ?>
            </ul>

and uncommented that.
,
The dropdown menu appeared again, but as I did not change anything in the administration section of menu,
I'd expect the dropdown appear with all the standard voices.
Instead of it, I have only a blank line, as if there are no submenu items in the admin section.

Can you help me solve this issue, please ?

Thank you.

How-to questions / Simple checkout without options

« on: June 30, 2017, 01:18:27 PM »

Hello everyone !

I have a simple question but I cannot find solutions about.
I need to setup a simple e-commerce, very simple one,
where the owner will have a frontend and then :

1. Never allow registration, always Guest as buyer
2. Never shipping options
3. Never payment options

So what I need is to go, as the visitor click on a checkout button, to the Guest form ( with all the forms to be filled ),
then jump over payment and shipping options.
The payment will be always 'CASH ON DELIVERY' on the order confirmation emails
The shipping will always be nothing as the product must be taken directly in the shop.

In abantecart pages, I think the most correct thing is :

Checkout takes me to the : /index.php?rt=checkout/cart
Then I will go to : index.php?rt=checkout/guest_step_1
Then I will go to : index.php?rt=checkout/success

With the variables SHIPPING and PAYMENT set as constant.

Is there a way to achieve that ?

Thank you for any suggestion.

How-to questions / Embedding in HTML5/CSS3 page

« on: June 08, 2017, 02:14:40 PM »

Dear forum users/Developers,

I am always happier about Abantecart and its features.
For the first time I need to embed some code into an existing html5+css3 website, and it works like a charm.
But what I can do using the explanations on docs pages and examples is not what I need to do.
I looked around, but I think the best way is to ask to who uses Abantecart everyday and works on it.
So, what I need is to have a <div> into my webpage, which give me the list of the subcategories of a certain category.
The detail is easy to be told.
My friend is a honey-producer, and he's trying to sell his honey online.
So in his existing html I would like to have a section with the 'HONEY' subcategories listed ( they are the various flavours )
and when I click on one of them, then I need to be taken to the product list of that category ( this should be easy

)
I cannot figure out how I can achieve the sub-categories list in the script code to embed, if there's a way.
If there's not, that means I have to embed a different div for each subcategory, and that means embedding is not so
useful as each time a new subcategory is created I (or he) will have to create embed code and put it into the html code
again by hand ( that sounds like creating a div manually and linking the image/text/whatever to the subcategory page ).

I hope I have been clear in the explanation and hope someone will be able to give (good) news.

Thank you in advance,

Carlo

Customization help / Email Settings

« on: May 02, 2016, 07:59:58 AM »

Hi there, again.

Working out on the new project, I have some problems with email settings.
1. I read all the topics about email SMTP sending.
I used the right smtp gmail settings ( server, port, address, email address, password )
I had an email from google telling me that an unsecure app wanted to use my gmail account. Allright, I decided to accept all the unsecure apps.

2. I made an order, Guest Checkout, put all infos on the cart, and sent the order.
- ALL OK in the shop, I see the order and all is perfect
- No email to my Administrator email, no email to my customer email.

Is there a way to fix it ?

Thank you,

Carlo

/// UPDATE ///

Even the Customer Registration for Newsletter or Customer Registration is not sending any email to the customer.

Customization help / SubMenu Items

« on: May 02, 2016, 05:57:31 AM »

Hi there at AbanteCart.
I worked for years on other carts, and I found you some days ago, so started my first project with this.
Actually I have a question which is still unanswered on this forum.

I need the HOME button to be only 'Home', and not with the single, unfilled, drop-down box which is present ( screenshot1)
Moreover, I tried to insert some new links as sub.menu items, but I cannot see them in the frontpage.

After trying and trying, I deleted ALL the items in the Design-Menu.

So that I have NO MENU ITEMS ( Screenshot2 ), but still the HOME item and that white block is visible.

I am a developer/coder, so no problem in coding. Can someone help me to find out how I can work this out ?

Thank you.

Carlo
