How to make look good on mobile phones, tabs, etc- fallback image?
DavidLIR:
Hi,
I am moving now to making the website work on mobile phones, tablets, and other devices.
Using HTML5 Template version 1.1.7 I see I have instead of the banner slider it goes to fallback image. I can of course make my own picture and name it the same as the fallback image, and upload that file...but can you tell me where is the controller for this fallback showing up on the different screen resolutions? I did not see an obvious way to edit this for layout on cellphones, ipads, etc.
I would appreciate any help in how to optimize for cell phone, ipad, etc use.

Hi David,
Did you see this earlier response?

Seems like it is just upload an image of your choice to the file?! Perhaps, they will make an improvement in the near future, as that would seem to make sense in order for everyone to know it needed to be done.
Abantecart - perhaps you could at the least add a note to the Banner Manager edit page - that notifies that a static image is needed for small screen displays and where it needs to go. Maybe a way to upload an alternate image to the file location at the same time would be nice enhancement.

Lee,
Thanks for showing me that link. Yes, that is basically what I had figured out...which I had to find by right clicking on the picture and copy image url...that way I found the location of the file....I agree that there should be a note reminding folks that this needs to be done. I'm sure that most of us would not want the stock fallback image on our website...we would want something that we had put in ourselves. I hope Abantecart will take note of this and add a note where we are working on the banners.
Great idea Lee.
Thanks again for your help

OK, so this brings me to part two of how to make cart work on mobile phones...etc.
what I have found is that on my android phone...kyocera hydro...everything works pretty well except one thing
when you go to make selection of the options for my store items...on android...you have to uncheck the preselected choice or it leaves each box you select checked until you click again to uncheck it...this will work if people think to do this...
...My friend has i-phone...on there he doesn't seem to be able to make a selection at all...
I would appreciate if you all would try my site on your android and i-phones and let me know how it is working for you...as I want to be able to bring in all the cell phone users to my site as well
Much appreciated. Also any other ideas...as the abantecart is advertised as working on all devices, I would like to hear from abantecart to see if there is a solution for this problem.

Ok, all you cart users that might want to test - and perhaps don't know that David's link is under his cart name, here it is:

This is a good catch David, I hadn't tested on the options to see if they worked. I'll test and report back.
