♥bruyndoncx Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Can you post or pm me the same file. Just code itself? I want to add that feature on my site as well.. Another site that I saw just shows only product name and price. But yours shows product number as well.. That's what I like about this mod. Please let me know. Thank you minuteago I just used Beyond Compare to compare mine to an out-of-box version of the file and there's no difference. As soon as I can find the mod or remember what I changed I will post it here. In the standard product listing (not in columns) this is all done via the Configuration settings where you also specify the order of the fields to display, I suspect the column version is build around the same engine :) Carine KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?!

ryanf Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Not a bad site eric, I would question the ebay ad at the bottom of the site. I would think they are a competitor of yours unless the link goes to your online ebay store. If not, I wouldn't want to give customers another place to buy the same stuff. ebay sells everything, and I can almost guarentee they sell the same stuff as you. If I was crafty, this would be a funny signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiftcodotcom Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 It's actually an affiliates banner, but I never thought of it in that aspect. Thanks for opening my eyes :D . The web.com banner is an aff banner as well, but they aren't my competitor. Thanks for the tip :) No more ebay.

♥MYC267 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I gave up trying to view the site after 30 seconds.... mate it's too sloooow. I am on 512k DSL here. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agiftcodotcom Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Dan, not sure why it was so slow. You might've caught my host in a re-boot. I use cable and dsl to get the site and it never takes more than 3 or 4 seconds to load a page. If anyone has dial-up, let me know how painful it is.

cdi-buy.com Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I was told mine loads slow. This person said 8 seconds on 56k is too slow. I'm like wth - to make it any faster I'd hafta remove all database queries, photos, and make it an html page. :lol: Anyone wanna agree/disagree? I know this is Eric's thread but I'd appreciate if anyone could tell me if they have problems, especially 56k-ers. I think it's a little sad how people try to optimize to the point of lacking quality. Dial up users don't expect their pages to load fast. They realize they are using an outdated internet access and tend to have the patience to wait. As long as they arent sitting there for an extremely long time. Sorry Eric - off topic but I had to vent since the idea of slow load times came up. Click Here to Check My Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agiftcodotcom Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Don, for some reason, I have a feeling not too many dial-up users are going to be building a web site, so we may be SOL :D Contributions I used : Updated 06-13-04 23:42 ---------------- Vote on My Graphis Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agiftcodotcom Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Side Note I was asked how I adjusted my meta tags. The easiest way to adjust your meta tags (without a contribution).... The original OSC index.php looks like this near the top... <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> <base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> </head> and I changed mine to <head> <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <meta name="description" content="Enter Your Site's Description Here"> <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="Enter Your Site's Keywords"> <base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="rollovers.js"></script> </head> Contributions I used : Updated 06-13-04 23:42 ---------------- Vote on My Graphis Poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only2empires Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hey! Hey! Hey! I built my site on dial-up! :D Only because where I am in the bayou of Louisiana they don't offer anything else! Its a shame I know. Maybe someday this area will join in with the rest of the USA! You are right though, dial-up people know at times we may have to wait a few seconds longer than most, but it still shouldn't take a lifetime! So building my site on dial-up gave me the advantage of how fast my site will pull up for others on dial-up. Anyway....being on dial-up I was able to test both of your sites and they pulled up quick and fine for me. I travelled around a bit in each site to see if all pages loaded the same speed or if there was any lag in any particular page and there wasn't any. If I were shopping online and came across your stores, I would stay and look ;) I didn't get frustrated at all waiting for graphics to load. Good job both of you!

aaanativearts Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I was told mine loads slow. This person said 8 seconds on 56k is too slow. ... Dial up users don't expect their pages to load fast. They realize they are using an outdated internet access and tend to have the patience to wait. Actually, over half the Internet's surfers are still using dial-up, and some of those are still using even slower than 56k. Many studies on load time have been done, and 8 seconds is about the maximum time the average surfer will wait, regardless of whether they are on 56k or broadband. So you are at the top end of the recommended scale. If you can get that down to about 3-6 seconds, you will do much better. I've read several studies that indicate some surfers begin leaving after 3 seconds and for each second the surfer has to wait beyond 8 seconds, potentially half of them will leave. So if you still had 100 surfers at 8 seconds, you might have 50 at 9 seconds, 25 at 10 seconds, etc. At the very least, you need to get the header and menu loaded right away, so the surfer knows something is coming. Give him something to read and he is less likely to notice how long it's taking. To do this, you need to make sure a height and width is set for everything on the page. Otherwise, the browser will have to load the whole page before it can figure out the layout and shows the whole page only after it has it all loaded.
