Has Ultiomento 3.0 been confirmed to work with Magento 1.7?
For me, after updating to 1.7.0 the navigation bar is broken (CSS problem i think)
Had the same issue as Daniel with the Navigation Bar not working. 1.7 bound to have a couple of teething problems with some things, pity but natural. Now 50/50 on reverting back to 1.62 and develop my site based on that. Not sure I personally see an advantage in 1.7 in my case ?!
Im seeing the same thing. Support here is very good and responsive IMO. Perhaps they can give us an ETA on the menu fix. Note to support you currently have my site credentials and are looking at another issue. Feel free to use my site is needed to investigate the issue. (using Magento 1.7 with Ultimento 3)
Hey Guys,
We’d been testing Ultimento 3 on Magento’s release candidate for 1.7, but it looks like the final release still had some changes. We’re working on the fix now, just had to get back from the Magento conference in Vegas.
We hope to have a fix out ASAP.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hey Guys,
After a final review it looks like Ultimento 3 is now 1.7 ready! The link in your account center has been updated so you already have the files you need. Just copy the files over to your FTP and flush your cache and you’ll be set. No need to run the installer again.
Thanks,
Brandon
great, the new download version works fine (menu broken is fixed)
Looking at upgrading from Ultimento 2 to 3. It says to remove all the old Ultimento 2 files, and there are heaps in several folders.
What is the recommended process for easily and efficiently removing these files? I would hate to go do it manually. Are there any tools/processes to make this task simpler. FYI, only have Cpanel and FTP access to our files.
Hi Peter, I read a link here somewhere that suggested a reinstall of magento and then installing a fresh copy of Ultimento 3 might be the cleanest path.
Hey Peter,
First things first, always back up first! Just to be safe.
The best way to fully uninstall Ultimento 2 is to first run the 1-Click installer (the button will change to “uninstall” if you’re on a storeview that already has U2).
Then you’ll want to delete all the original files off of your FTP. Just use the original .zip file to see where each folder you copied over is (there are a handful of them) and delete them (which will delete the files contained within) one by one. It sounds bad, but will only take a few minutes if you use the .zip file as your guide. If you want an easy to use FTP program I generally use Filezilla.
After that you should be good to install Ultimento 3.
Thanks,
Brandon
Does anyone know where the Canonical URLs plugin lives? I cant find any documentation on it.
Thanks!
Hey Nick,
The plugin doesn’t really have much documentation because it operates automatically, constructing domains based on your category and product titles. If you check the URLs on your site you should see they’re already distinct from what default Magento would be using.
Thanks,
Brandon
Are there any plans to quickly update Ultimento to be compatible with the new Google SEO requirements?… If so estimated timeframe please. I’m looking to possibly purchase but I don’t want to if you have no immediate plans to re-optimize for the Google changes.
Hey Thomas,
Ultimento 3 incorporates a bunch of different features to optimize SEO, including many changes related to Google’s Panda release and Rich Snippets. What requirements are you looking for specifically?
Thanks,
Brandon
Ultimento 3 on Magento 1.7 backend says 404 Page not found for ultimento settings
is this a known problem or is this just my fault?
Hey Peter,
It sounds like your cache perhaps needs to be cleared. Try flushing your Magento and browser cache and then logging out and back in. That generally does the trick.
Thanks,
Brandon
How do you increase the Exploded Menu from 4 columns to 5 columns? Which file needs modifying?
Hey Dave,
Actually, you shouldn’t even have to edit the config file. If you look in the Ultimento section of your Magento Admin Panel you’ll see there’s a section right there to set the categories count.
Thanks,
Brandon
Fixed – its ok the config.xml file!
How comes both the W3C html and css validator find a lot of errors? Ultimento 2.0 used to be cleaner…
Hey Stefano,
Actually, if you check the errors most are related to:
If you validate any other site which uses the actual g+1 or facebook buttons (and not just links) you should see similar errors. Aside from those you should find that Ultimento 3 is actually quite clean and fast.
Hope that helps explain it.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi there support,
is it possible, without any developement work, to replace the whole banner length and insert my own header the width of the page?
Hi James,
Unfortunately that would require a bit of work because you’d have to defeat either Ultimento’s default header links (flags, search, etc.) or Magento’s (my account, cart, checkout, etc.). It wouldn’t be super difficult, but would require a bit of time.
Thanks,
Brandon
How do you disable the sub categories on the exploded menu? I have 16k+ products and a ton of categories and it doesn’t look good with all the sub categories.
Hey Tom,
This forum is really for Ultimento 2. If you have questions about Ultimento 3 can you please open up a ticket in your account center and we can help you out there?
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi There –
Is Ultimento 2.0 compatible with Community 1.7? If so are there any upgrade instructions or a specific process to follow?
Thanks – Skeeter
Hi Skeeter,
Yes, Ultimento 2 should be fine on 1.7.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi – do you have any examples of ultimento being used to sell a single product?
Sean
Hey Sean,
When you say a single product do you mean literally only one item? Are you talking about one class of products or one category of products?
Ultimento and Magento are really built to handle collections of products, but you could use the CMS capabilities of the platform to give a lot of information on one product if you really wanted to. Shoot us an email and give us some more background on what you’re trying to do and we’ll see what we can recommend.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi. I see on the product view page – eg. Canon digital rebel xt 8mb -shows a promo box for Buy 2 and save 19%..
Does this box appear automatically after adding a catalog rule? Or do you have to somehow add manually to the product description.
Thanks
Hi Travis,
Yes, when you set up quantity discount rules in Magento/Ultimento a box will appear automatically to explain how the discount works to customers.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hello, for some reason, my dropdowns in the top menu are not working. I am running Magento 1.6. I can view the source code with Firebug, and see that the child li’s are present, but no dropdown. Does that indicate a javascript issue?
Hi CKlein,
I believe we took care of this in the tikcet you opened up, but please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Brandon
How do I turn on product tabs? Is it theme dependent? Why is this explained nowhere on your site?
Hi CKlein,
I believe we took care of this in the tikcet system as well. Tabs work automatically, but other issues on your server were interrupting the code.
Thanks,
Brandon
Discussion | ULTIMENTO Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I have truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!
hi,
hey what happened to the demo, its gone?
Hey James,
The demo site is still up as far as we can see. Are you having problems reaching it?
Thanks,
Brandon
the demo now has what I deemed to be a magento home page, what happened to the one with all of your styles you could change?
thanks
James
It sounds like you are landing on the French page. Try selecting the English and German language to see the difference.
Thanks,
Leo
Hi,
I installed the canonical url plugin, which work fine on the home and category pages but once you click on a product page it gives me the error processing your request. Has anyone had a similar issue?
