General Support / Looking for custom Bootstrap Carousel slideshow blocks
« on: July 23, 2015, 10:17:41 AM »
Looking for someone to create two custom blocks for me. Willing to pay. Please private message me. Once done the module is yours and you can sell it in the marketplace if so desired.

User-Defined Bootstrap Carousel Slideshow
1. Creates a user-defined folder in the current template folder structure (ie; default/carousel)
2. Offer DropZone-like image uploads with thumbnail list of all current images, and X removal capabilities
3. Use filename as alt and caption, removing ".jpg" and replacing dashes "-" with spaces
4. Image sortorder is alphabetical. If the first element in the name is a numeric, remove that from the alt and caption as well.
5. Offer text input to add inline-styles to the div tag: class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" style="[user-defined]"
6. Two textarea fields to allow for inserting HTML before and after the carousel code is rendered.
Carousel code is provided below...

Featured Product Bootstrap Carousel Slideshow
1. Creates slideshow of all "featured" products in the database
2. Alt and caption tags pull item name
3. Images link to product
4. Two textarea fields to allow for inserting HTML before and after the carousel code is rendered.

Having written custom tags like this in ColdFusion I imagine each should take about an hour, though I don't know about the custom content block aspect of AbanteCart.

Sample code, below, of the user-defined carousel:

Code: [Select]
<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" style="float:right;width:450px;">
<!-- Indicators -->
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
<li data-interval="5000" data-pause="Hover" data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
<li data-interval="5000" data-pause="Hover" data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="1" ></li>
<li data-interval="5000" data-pause="Hover" data-target="#carousel-example-generic" data-slide-to="2" ></li>
</ol>
<!-- Wrapper for slides -->
<div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
<div class="item active">
<img src="/storefront/view/default/carousel/Colorado-Can-Theme.jpg" alt="Colorado Can Theme">
<div class="carousel-caption">Colorado Can Theme</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<img src="/storefront/view/default/carousel/Colorado-Can-Tower.jpg" alt="Colorado Can Tower">
<div class="carousel-caption">Colorado Can Tower</div>
</div>
<div class="item">
<img src="/storefront/view/default/carousel/Gemstone-Mining.jpg" alt="Gemstone Mining">
<div class="carousel-caption">Gemstone Mining</div>
</div>
</div>
<a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="prev">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
</a>
<a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel-example-generic" role="button" data-slide="next">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Next</span>
</a>
</div>

Built-in Features / Getting images onto site for category or product descriptions
« on: July 09, 2015, 11:22:27 AM »
Hi. I am trying to get some images into the description of a category and though I certainly know how to upload images through the cPanel File Manager and then include the image by pasting the URL in the Image tool in the CKeditor, --- my clients will have absolutely no idea what to do. This is way too hard. Same goes for any description editing for Edit Product and Update Content. I see a Files Upload page, but no way to actually upload a file.

I have a CMS I wrote that also uses the CKeditor, and what I did is create a pop-up window that allows my users to upload images to the site (single folder) and then simply drag an image from the pop-up into the CKedit window. Piece of cake once you get the hang of it.

Is there any way of adding that kind of functionality?

Short of that, are there plans to upgrade the Image tool in your install of CKeditor to include image file uploads?

Thanks.

Built-in Features / Adding Columns to Main Products Page in Admin
« on: June 18, 2015, 07:26:38 PM »
Something that would be great is to have Featured (on/off) and weight. Don't really need model.

Is there somewhere in the admin interface where we can change this?

General Support / How to turn off chat bubble notification alert at top of admin
« on: June 18, 2015, 02:53:57 PM »
I am setting up my third cart now and have officially gotten sick of that chat bubble alert at the top of the admin. I have read the text "Help AbanteCart community grow and provide better eCommerce for everyone. Let the world know about AbanteCart and your experience. Simply share a word on your favorite social media, blogs or forums" a couple hundred times already, and don't need to see it anymore.

How can I turn that off?

Thanks,

Mik

Templates / Any new templates for AbanteCart 1.2.2
« on: June 18, 2015, 12:54:13 PM »
I am setting up a third store using this wonderful cart software, but see now that none of the templates in your extensions library support the new version. I am willing to pay for a good template, especially "Storefront Template #2", which is by algozone, or one that would come close to that (ie; not a full-width carousel banner).

Are there any template developers who are willing or able to create responsive templates for the newer version of AbanteCart.  I'd hoped, when I chose this platform, that I would have a good choice of templates to choose from.

Built-in Features / Help with Native Banner Module
« on: May 28, 2015, 05:23:34 PM »
I am trying to fix the main page banners on a new shop and noticed two things:

1. The default styles for the positioning of text banner images don't seem to line up very well on tablets, in either landscape (just a little off) or portrait (pretty awful) orientations. I've tweaked the css for landscape, but I can't seem to get a handle on the portrait orientation, especially since the image keeps swapping out on me. Any advice? This is the site:

nupro-films . com

2. It would be great if there was an image upload tool in the text banner manager page for each slide so we could simply upload the images from there. I'd have no problem specifying the directory in a setting elsewhere, or on that page itself. Would make the whole thing a little more seamless.

One other thing. I notice that the mobile interface swaps out to a static. Has anyone written something for mobile?

Thanks for any advice.

Installation and Configuration / Creating custom install
« on: May 21, 2015, 12:12:49 PM »
Hello, I am a new user of AbanteCart and so far I like it. Certainly takes a little getting used to, but that's ok.

I am now installing my second cart of six immediate projects, and I'm wondering if it's possible to modify the base install files so I don't have to remove all customers, orders, products and categories before I can even get started on putting real content in -- on every site I host with this software.

I am using Softaculous on cPanel 11.48.4 (build 4), LAMP server.

Thanks.

Support / IP number is used on Specials, Account, Cart and Checkout links at top.
« on: May 13, 2015, 04:49:17 PM »
I'm not sure why but all four of the top links point to the IP number of the site, instead of the URL. How do I change that?

Thanks,

Mik
