But the items I marked as plug and play functions, most can be fir into the header, or even footer, as you do find on a lot of sites. By plug in play im not really thinking of coding osc_template functions all over the header and footer, just writing a function and placing it where you want it to show. If anyone looks on my testing site I placed earlier, you can see a bit more what I'm talking about, though its generally become a scratchpad of ideas now and may or may not be broken when you visit it.

Dan Cole Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hummm....I was thinking :wacko: that for XS screens where there were info boxes in either column, those boxes or rather links to where those boxes point would be added to a menu/nav bar....let the shop owner decide which boxes are used on their site. Shop owners could add or subtract boxes, like they do now and for XS screens the links to those info boxes would show on a menu/nav bar instead of displaying the info boxes themselves. To me that would keep the XS screen clean, allow access to the information via the menu/nav bar for users wishing to get to it and give some flexibility to shop owners to include the information they want and is relevant to their shops. I don't know enough about bootstrap to know if that is possible or not but, if so, could we not move in that direction rather than debate which boxes are useful or not and where they should appear?

burt Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 PS: using geo-location for currencies or languages is totally the wrong way. So you decide when i am in another country, what language i should read your site? or what currency to use? I agree. I can say for certain that geo-locates will not be provided in the core.

burt Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm currently working in the reviews area of the shop. Proposal #1 - give option to show mini reviews (maybe the first 20 words or so) of say 4 or 5 reviews in the product page,ordered by reviews rating descending (in other words, best reviews show in the product page). Proposal #2 - show full reviews in the products_reviews page eg here: http://demo.oscommerce.com/product_reviews.php?products_id=19 - at the moment this page has cut down reviews and each review leads to an individual review page Proposal #3 - Nuke the individual review page eg http://demo.oscommerce.com/product_reviews_info.php?products_id=19&reviews_id=1 Not needed now that the full reviews show as per proposal #2 Any of that a bad idea? If so, why ? Would end up looking like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken44 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hi. My vote goes to Option 1. Too many words from reviews could start to affect the products SEO.

♥GLWalker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I was playing around with the bootstrap collapse classes, following along with navbar-collapse. I redid them and and applied to an infoBox and it works out very well with no change in any javascript functions. So if you go into a smaller viewport the infoBox will collapse, just like a nave menu, leaving the button to open it the infoBox Content beneath. This may be a good way of saving room while still letting the user pick which content they want to see. I think it is better than applying a hidden class because the content still has to load even if hidden and this at least will let one see what loaded, while saving space.
