    Hello Noam and Co.-

    How do I add a quantity input with the Add To Cart button on the product pages? I realize every other template I’ve used always had it there. Please advise… I’m stuck.

    Thank you…

      HOW TO ADD QTY FIELD ON THE PRODUCT PAGE:
      Open this file:
      app/design/frontend/default/ultimento/template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml

      And follow the instructions on line 28 (all you have to do is remove style="display: none;").

      That’s it ;) .

    I have another question about the CSS… am I opening it wrong?… it’s all running together in the style.css.. so I cannot use Firebug, for instance, to easily find and edit code. Please help.

    Thank you.

    How can I get links to content like “About us” to come up in the navigation at the top of each page? Also, would you know a reason why my categories would not be showing in this navigation? E.g. Products it’s subcategories in dropdown lists? I have enabled the”Show menu link” option, is there anything else I should need to do?
    Cheers,
    Fred

      Hi Frederick – read this short post if your categories aren’t showing up in the navigation. Most likely you didn’t set them up properly in the Magento admin, or you may have forgotten to refresh Magento cache and re-index all data.

      As for your other question, there are many ways to add menu items in your navigation to link to pages or static content. Here’s a couple of them:

      HOW TO ADD A MENU ITEM TO A PAGE:
      One way is to hard code the link in the Magento template file that controls the top navigation. Here’s an article on how to add a “home” link to the Magento navigation for example. You can follow the same method to link to any page you want.

      Another way is to create a static block under “CMS > Static Blocks” – for example for your “About us” page. Then navigate to “Catalog > Manage Categories” and create a new category (name it “About us” in this example). Then under “Display Settings” choose “Static block only” for the category’s “Display Mode” and select the static block you created for your “About us” page.

      I really hope this helps!

    I am trying to add a quantity box that’s next to the “Buy Now” button and it isn’t showing up. I tried following the instructions you listed above and deleted style=”display:none;” from the addtocart.phtml. I also ensured that the minimum quantity was set to 20 but the box does not display. What should I do?

    Color scheme Custom versus anything but the standard?! If you choose the custom option you are not able to use any other colour option that the the standard one? If this is the case, although the custom option is a good idea, you still cannot used it for the supplied blue and white scheme.

      Did some further testing and the other two schemes still pull their files from the ultimento rather than ultimentocustom directoyr, whereas for the standard scheme the settings in ultimento are overwritten with ultimentocustom. Does not make any sense.

      Paul – it’s what you write that “doesn’t make any sense”. Read the instructions before posting a dumb comment (check the note about the color schemes).

    • noam says:
      June 2, 2011 at 10:55 am

      Paul – of course you can use any color scheme with the “custom” option! You just have to follow the instructions ;) .

    • Paul says:
      June 3, 2011 at 10:39 am

      Sorry for the dumb comment, but correct me if I’m wrong you cannot use the “custom” option across ALL schemes from as single Magento installation as there is no way of setting this up. If you only use one that is fine but we have a multistore setup and want to use the different schemes at different stores/frontends. In this scenario the custom “option” will only work for one scheme.

      Paul

    • noam says:
      June 3, 2011 at 11:14 am

      Hi Paul – good point! You are correct. If you’d like it’d be easy to extend the “Ultimento Custom” functionality to support different customization on different stores within your Magento installation. If you’re interested just get the “Minimum Work Unit” on the customization page and we can take care of that for you quickly.

    Hello, a few questions:

    1) Is there any way I can get the tabs to show different tab headings in different categories by editing view.phtml? If so, what would be the php variable that I could use in the if statement? (feel free to give me the php code if you want ;)

    2) Is there any way I can insert html code to make the ultimento rating stars to show up in the description on a product page? E.g. in the description field, have a “Durability – **** ” (4 stars out of 5)

    3) The sharing still isn’t working – could you provide a bit of a checklist to get it going, or is it best for me to launch a support ticket?

    Cheers, and thank you so much for your help so far!

      Hi Frederick,

      1) I believe this is possible with a bit of custom code on the Magento template files. Or maybe there’s an extension that do that? Either way let us know if you’re interested in custom Magento work.

      2) For sure that’s possible! Do you want to manually put HTML in the product description to show stars or do you want the rating for that product to be dynamically inserted there? Either way it’s possible so again just let us know if you’re interested in custom Magento work.

      3) Well there isn’t any checklist because the social bookmarking feature should work out of the box so definitely feel free to send me your Magento admin and FTP info via the help desk in your account center and we’ll take a look.

      Thanks!
      Noam.

    Hello:

    We are reviewing your theme which looks fabulous. We are an Art site offering web-to-print service. Quick questions –

    Grid View – We prefer to not have the side bar but rather use the real estate for more thumbs. Our wish is put “Category” “Price” “Color” search navigation in a Horizontal row below bread crumb. Is this a problem to implement?

    On your Ultimento Home Page in the slider, you display an image that shows a product page with no sidebar and four products in the row on the grid view. I am assuming then this is not an issue; however, I wanted to make sure.

    Thank you for your help.
    Cheers,

      Hi Lona – yes this is definitely possible! The screenshot you mentioned is actually taken from the new products section on the demo’s home page but you can easily switch the product listing pages to a 1-column layout.

      Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Hi Noam,
    I’ve got a little problem, don’t know what I did wrong.
    Installation was fine, one time changing the color schema to white worked perfect, but now doesn’t matter what I choose, it stays white.
    Did I destroy it? And if can I reinstall?

    Thanks for your help

      Hi Kassian – most likely you need to refresh Magento cache as well as your browser cache to see the change when you switch to a different color scheme in the admin.

      Another possibility I can think of is that you’re not changing the color scheme for your store on the appropriate configuration scope so make sure to double check that as well (upper left corner in the System > Configuration page in your Magento admin).

      Let me know if that doesn’t solve it for you ;) .

    I’m trying to figure out how to use the “More information” tab. I can update the Product Description when entering or editing the products but cannot find how to update the other tabs. At the moment they have the default contact us link in the other tabs.

    Is this a Magento or Ulimento feature? and how does it work?

      Hi Noam,

      Do you have any other examples? I too am interested in Ultimento but would like to see some more examples. Particularly with further customisation – a bit like what Paul has done with the orange rechargeable.ie

      In addition, how difficult/timely/costly would it be to use ultimento but customise the look of the template (eg background, position of newsletter subscription, remove the section on the bottom with main, about etc, change look of menu tabs).

      Thanks for your help!

      Hi Dimitri – yes there are many more examples! Which is why we’re working on a showcase page which hopefully should be ready in a week or so. Please stay tuned by following @ultimag on Twitter. In the meantime, why not get the free trial? ;)

      Regarding customization – all the tasks you mentioned are very easy to accomplish. Ultimento’s Magento themes are built to be easily customized. There’s also an extensive documentation.

    After i filled in the information, proceed to checkout and ready for payment, it keeps sending me back to where i need to fill the information.

    Will you have a look and try it at http://www.qno-direct.eu? I created tab “test”.

      Hi Kassian – it looks like the German translations are longer than their English counterparts which is why the design for the tabs get thrown off. It’s easy to fix though ;) just edit the theme’s CSS and locate the property for ul.tabbernav li a – all you have to do is change the padding value from “6px 15px 7px” to “6px 13px 7px”. That should take care of your issue and it should work on all browsers.

      I hope this helps!

    Hi Noam,

    We have already purchased the two license Ultimento template from you and love it. Our shopping cart is in production and everything is proceeding smoothly, however we need some clarification regarding Optimized Checkout Module and Discussion Extension.

    The website clearly states under “Features” & “Tours” that these two are included with Ultimento.
    On Features page highlighted is – “All the Magento themes and Magento extensions included in Ultimento!” and under it you have both of the above modules/extension listed. Same is the case on the “Tour” page, you state “Features List – What you’ll be getting” and once again state that these two are included with Ultimento purchase.

    So please tell me how can I get these two modules, since these were not included in the software I received from you. Based on what’s written these should be provided unconditionally as part of Ultimento purchase and need not be purchased separately nor should I need to follow you on twitter/post reviews to get them for free.

    If the above is not your intention, I would appreciate if you can state the same clearly on your website (i.e. these are NOT free, or free with conditions) and honor what was promised to us at the time of purchase.

    Look forward to your reply.

    Kind Regards
    Ratna

      Hi Ratna – I don’t understand what’s your problem. These 2 new extensions are given for free to all Ultimento customers so yes they are included for free with Ultimento. “Free” meaning “at no cost”. Here’s how to get the Optimized Checkout extension for free and here’s how to get the Discussion module for free. This is clearly explained on the site – both on the Tour page and on the Features page.

      So I really don’t understand what’s the rant about here… Aren’t you thankful that we give you these new Magento extensions for free as part of your free updates?? I looked up your specific order and at the time of purchase these 2 new Magento extensions had not been released yet! And you can now get them for free (i.e. at no cost whatsoever) without having anything to do but follow the instructions on how to get them! How is it that for some people nothing is ever enough for some people? Even when it’s free!

      It’s the very first time I hear a complaint about us releasing free Magento extensions for our customers – thankfully we get tons of positive and encouraging comments to keep us in good spirit ;) .

      Have a great weekend! I hope we can still be friends :) .

    • Dan says:
      June 14, 2011 at 11:23 am

      I understand what Ratna is saying because I thought the same but it is easy to follow on twitter and like a page in facebook so I didn’t complain I just got on with it.

      One can always stop following on twitter and now unlike on Facebook once you have the extensions.

      Having said all that it should be made clear that there are small conditions attached however small.

      Overall in this case its worth the initial disappointment and extra effort.

      Hi Dan – thanks for the feedback but it is made clear on the site. Every time these 2 Magento extensions are mentioned on our site there is a link to how to get them for free with all the details clearly stated. We also release new free Magento extensions for Ultimento customers all the time (the latest being the Disable Admin Notification extension and the Newsletter Checkout extension) with no conditions whatsoever.

      I mean… it doesn’t get any better than that ;) .

    • Dan says:
      June 14, 2011 at 12:02 pm

      Hi Noam,

      I’m sorry I’ll have to disagree with you there, it may be clear to you but for a new customer looking to buy there are so many features (which is good) to spot that some features are conditional is extremely difficult.

      I just had a look and where the extension is mentioned you have to click the link to “learn more” then click another link to read the instructions, I don’t consider that clear when being presented with so much information.

      I love the extension and the work you do is fantastic so no problems on my part I just agree with Ratna sorry. :)

    • noam says:
      June 13, 2011 at 8:33 pm

      Hi Frederick – yes changing the width of the main navigation items is very easy! All you have to do is change the “width” value for the “#nav a” property in Ultimento’s CSS. On the default Ultimento Magento theme it’s set at 163px. I’d recommend using a CSS debugger to inspect your store and play with that value until you get the exact design you’re looking for ;) .

      I hope this helps!

    Hi Noam,

    I can’t get the terms & conditions to display on the checkout process before payment is made.

    I’ve enabled terms & conditions in config/system/checkout with one page checkout enabled.
    I’ve also added my terms in sales/terms & condtions/ and enabled it.

    I’ve also disabled the Noam optimised checkout.

    I’m using paypal standard payment for checkout.

    I’ve tried every combination of every setting and disabled cache and tried everything again and again but the terms and conditions will not display on the check process.

    When I get to “place order” a popup appears asking “please agree to all terms before placing the order” and that’s as far as I can get.

    If I remove the terms & conditions in config/system/checkout then I can place the order and make the payment ok but I need the terms agreed to first.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    When I click the all products button it sends me here: “http://www.assaultbackpacks.com/all-products”

    It should send me here: “http://www.assaultbackpacks.com/store/all-products”

    I do have the base URL set properly.

    Any ideas?
