I emailed energothemes. com developers to create theme for abantecart one of their theme is wonderful. you can check from link vivashop

theme demo : cscartdemo.energothemes .com/vivashop/

Addon like;

excel import/export for products update will be awsome.

Abanded cart reminders

popup module

sending coupon automatic way Happy Birthday


FEATURES IDEAS;

-- XML export

-- in abantecart we have google analytics place it will be great to add same for yandex analytics and 1 empty place for adding extra because this code place placing in all pages if im not wrong.

-- some newsletter intrgration

-- editable maint. page

-- Google Rich Snippets preview in seo page

-- smart search when typing something it will show products

-- option for quick view enable / disable
           
-- call back for product info or order

-- code place for live chat like zopim

AC has the ability to do excel input/output already.

The other ideas are great and there are extensions for some of the stuff, like abandoned cart. You can add a pop module yourself if you wish, AC has purposely left that out, as many users find it annoying to their customers. We already have newsletter integration and an editable maintenance page.

Rich snippets are being worked on, I've written a thread on that and it's going to be integrated in a future update.

Any chat module can be added to the template now, again we decided not to include one as to give the user the choice of which on to use.

Check the forum and documentation on implementing some of the stuff you'd like to use for the how-to's of implementing them. There have been many discussions on most of the things you have mentioned.

I'm sure the core staff will look into your suggestions for the other items and consider them in future updates.

Tips and Tricks / Featured Prodcuts Title Upgrade
« on: May 05, 2015, 03:46:49 PM »
I love AbanteCart so much, and in this post I'm going to show you how to change a little CSS to make the titles on Featured block on the home page stand out.

First, take a look at what I mean. https://naturalhandcraftedsoaps.com/secure/ You will see that I darkened the text, increased the size, made it bold and added a shadow.

Next, just follow the marked up image below if you want your Featured Titles to look like mine. You can add as much or as little as you want, it's up to you.

Ok, so it will depend on third party developer to update their template to suit the abantecart?

Absolutely, they need to rewrite the extension, it's not the other way around.

Template Support / Re: Issues with Mobile Template

That dropdown menu is part of the bootstrap .js that we use to make the site mobile compatible, as the screen size shrinks, it resorts to the dropdown at a certain point.

Upgrade to 1.2.1 has a few issues, Lee has done it successfully with dozens of site, I'm sure she can be of great help.

Ollie, 1.2.1 is completely mobile compatible, IMHO, I don't think you need the mobile extension. I'm just sayin.

BTW Ollie, you're store looks great!

SEO / Rich Snippets Greatly Improve Rankings
« on: May 02, 2015, 08:45:06 AM »
Recently Google upgraded it's algorithm and one of the things its doing is giving more weight to what they're calling "Rich Snippet Markup". I have added an easy "Rich Snippet Markup" to my home page in the form of a title done in h1. Previously, h1 mattered, but now it's even more important. There is a ton of rich snippet markup that can greatly enhance your rankings and we'll get into those in another post.

Take a look at my home page https://naturalhandcraftedsoaps.com/ and you'll see that I've added an h1 page title to the header instead of using a logo in the upper left hand corner. This is what is known as a "Rich Snippet Markup" and very valuable to your ranking.

I have attached an image to show where I place the code within the template. Keep in mind, this requires a little knowledge of html to accomplish. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then find someone to help you.

Much of the code you see in the image is not necessary, just the table structure and the h1 is all that is really necessary, the rest was inserting the humming bird pictures and css to shadow the text.

As I've said, I'll get into more "Rich Snippet Markup" in another post, since it requires a more advanced knowledge of html, but it's definitely worth the trouble (even if you need some one to do it for you) to get a leg up on your competetion with regard to SERP!

Pavel,

All google requires is a page done in xml like this one

https://naturalhandcraftedsoaps.com/secure/sitemap.xml

I generated this one using a free service, but it'll only index 500 pages, more than that you need to install their paid version on your server or use their web based one. The free service is http://xml-sitemaps.com

I don't know where the requirements are, I'll find them for you though.

I just know I submitted our site map link when I was in webmaster tools listing my site and it said it was unacceptable, it must be in html.

I'll get more detail and follow up on this.

Support / Site Map
« on: April 28, 2015, 02:14:58 PM »
The current site map generated by the template is in .php

Is is possible to generate a site map in html. Bing and Google no longer recognize site maps done in php.

I can generate one easily, but I'm thinking about those that don't know how to do it.
