Help with Extensions

Tagged: 

This topic has been marked as not a support question.

Hello again Team!

I have been looking for an extension that would allow the link to login in the header to become a drop down box so the customer wouldn’t have to leave the page they were on to improve the customer experience.

I found such an extension that allows this but I cannot for the life of me get it to work with Shoppica (it makes the entire set of links on the header go strange which is one of the problems!)

I have attached a file with the vQmod I made along with the instructions that I used to make the vQmod and the stylesheet css.

Please help if you can or if possible show a better way to get such a feature….

Thanks

Hi,

If this vqmod works and replaces the standard welcome text, then you will only need to adapt your css.

Can we take a loot at your website?

Sorry for not responding sooner, I haven’t been well.

I think the problem is that as the default theme has different code for the header that I changed, as per the install file in the zipped file above.

In the install file it says:
IN catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl FIND:
==============================================================
<?php echo $text_welcome; ?> <?php if (!$logged) echo $text_welcome; else echo $text_logged; ?>

But with Shoppica that text was changed to:

<?php if (!$logged) echo $text_welcome; else echo $text_logged; ?>

So in the vQmod I changed the code from the default version to the Shoppica version so this was the result

<file name="catalog/view/theme/shoppic2/template/common/header.tpl">
    <operation>
    <search position="replace"><![CDATA[ <?php if (!$logged) echo $text_welcome; else echo $text_logged; ?>]]></search>
    <add><![CDATA[<!-- twitter login menu -->
     <div id="topnav" class="topnav"><?php echo $text_welcome; ?></div>
       <fieldset id="signin_menu">
         <form method="post" id="signin" action="<?php echo $action; ?>">
        <label for="username"><?php echo $entry_email; ?></label>
          <input id="email" name="email" value="" title="email" tabindex="4" type="text">
        <p>
          <label for="password"><?php echo $entry_password; ?></label>
            <input id="password" name="password" value="" title="password" tabindex="5" type="password">
        </p>
        <p class="remember">
            <input id="signin_submit" value="<?php echo $entry_signin;?>" tabindex="6" type="submit">
        </p>
        <p class="forgot"><a href="<?php echo $forgotten; ?>"><?php echo $text_forgotten; ?></a></p>  
    </form>
  </fieldset>
Etc.... ]]></add>

Could the change from the default code to the Shoppica code cause the issue with the all the links turning from the colour they should be to blue and moving the content over as the example I have added shows?

I currently have the vQmod uninstalled if you could help without seeing it with this new info but if you do need to see the site let me know and I will reinstall it and give the address over.

I really do hope this can be done as its a decent idea being able to click on the login link and remain on the page the user currently is on.

Hope this makes sense!!

Could I send the link via email to you that way once I have sent the link I can set the extension up as I have it uninstalled due to the problems with it..

Thanks
