In the file is another occurence of 1.6 - may be this should be changed to 2.6 , too?

... works.. please delete my post. I had a typo and asked for help. working is now: <img class="logo img-responsive replace-2xlogo" src="{$base_dir|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}img/svg/logo.svg" onerror="this.src='{$base_dir|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}logogs.jpg />

I vote for screen shots of user having fun to show us their way of implementing it. May be someone creates a style that differs totally of what we are used too. The module is working now and I like it very very much. Such a good time this year! So many superb modules at our hands now by so generous and capable developers that I am happy to forget all the troubles I had with Prestashop over years. Thank you very much Petr PS: I am happily willing to learn as fast as possible to make use of your main module Datakick now. I am sure it is going to be of great help to me to hone my shop user EX and SEO wise.

Thank you for the tut and initiating the update of the module. Great. V2.1.2 now works. I had to deinstall the old one. I also deleted it.

I thought that it kicks in when I upload images via ThirtyBees backend (catalogue and products). But I did some tests with product photo on white background. Since I try to shoot my products myself :dancer: mostly the backgorund in the JPG is not 255 255 255 (pure white). Sure I could do some GIMPing or so but -fuzz and trim could also do the job. I started with 10% up to 110% and IM never seemed to kick in in any way. In a nutshell: a) IM kicks only in if I do an image rebuild via backoffice b) it is incompatible with my Kraken Image Optimizer v2.0.3 - PresTeamShop module c) I do not met the min. requirements* I just read on the GIT docu: *Minimum requirements PHP imagick extension 3.4.0 ImageMagick 7.0.2 (anything below is vulnerable and not supported!) PHP 5.5 thirty bees 1.0.x *

Slick, could you be so nice to write a tutorial on how to use the cron module properly? I used cronjobs.org and entered all cron urls from modules I needed and that worked flawlees most times. But I liked not to have to much external services so I can sleep better. So, I had a look at this module but I do not understand how it actually works. My hoster called Hetzner offers to me in its console also a cronjob form. But I failed to make use of it. I seem to miss the right schema to enter the jobs. Sometime I get error message like parameter ?token etc. not allowed. I think it is meant to load purely files but here I am lost. Is the module connected to host's own cron function? Do I enter all URLs I get from modules like the sitemap one into the TB cronjob module (V2.0 as you suggested) and then I have to make sure my host calls this module? thank you

@datakick you showed me Lesley's post on a problem some one had with CCC. I also unticked "Keep JS and CSS files" during resintall sinceI had the problems Slick has. What caused it I do not know but all seems to be fine now.

Perhaps you could add a "development in progress" button Lesley that next to the said also fushes APC etc? I always for get the one or the other to turn off during changes. Mostly it is no problem but when it becomes one frustration starts raising. Would be a nice addition.

I suggest to deinstall 1.0.4 via bo/moduls and to reinstall clearly 1.0.5. BUT only if you know how to take care of your reviews in DB. You could easily export them via SQl, Datakick module ... Perhaps better to try it on a clone or before deinstalling to try to delete the module via FTP and to reinstall the new one. Anyhow, I had to do it this way to get rid of this little hickup. I am now a happy user of the module and can happily say that it is a super module with great support. This one in combination with Slick's 'after mail' module to sent a reminder mail to review is a big big plus to use Thirtybees. Great contribution.

Hello hfxracing you might have a closer look at Vekia's HTMLBoxPro and TinyMCE module (mypresta.eu I think is the url). You can to astonishing things with it. The Box module can create custom hooks and shortcuts I think so you could export your category via SQL any tool that suits you and do a quick mass edit in order to add the custom hook to the product descriptions of the category. You could add there your needed html/css/JS code. What ever. TinyMCE now learned to use the "accordion" way of showing and 'gridding' text. You could in the way mentioned also mass insert the text as code snipped. Perhaps you contact Vekia since he is pretty in this (he also has Tab modules). Might be you have to ask for Thirtybees compatibilty, too.

I suggest to have a look at Datakick module or to contact Petr from Datakick (search forum). This module seems to shine in export and import processes and data manipulation of fields and tables.

Hello thank you for the instructions. This I have done for years and more in my category pages but I to stop to modify my templates my own on file basis. Each big update or any other changes to my system force me to do file comparisson in order not to miss something I changed in the past. This can become many things. Latest is a file seldom touched by other for example >> \Core\Business\Payment\CoreBusinessPayment_PaymentOption.php <<. I used that one to split payment options description into to parts so I could modify payment options tpl in a nice and more compact way { private $callToActionText; private $callToActionText2; ... } Back to the changes or code movents you made: I use the Warehouse theme by IQUIT which allows this position of category description via UI. This should TB also implement. It's an easy option that user as you and me could benefit from. I also commented out the abbreviation/truncation of descriptive text so the whole category description is viewable. I think this is something that Goolge seowise might honor a tiny bit over truncating text. Who knows... What remains on the wishlist is the named option to split easily the category description. This is the important one in my eyes.

Thank you Yaniv, I know them all and used them in the past. I am also a long time buyer of HTMLboxPro (MyPresta) but never thought about to use them like this. I must admit I am still unsure about how to reach my goal with these html boxes I could hook to the bottom of cateogory list in an easy and acceptable way. But it better than nothing :) and I could start with my important categories (or not so important ones at the moment dependent on the seo strategy I want to follow).

I am totally with you and what you said I knew. That is the reason why I asked what the best way would be to split the category description since I already thought that a 2nd db entry would make sence or be necessary. Personally, I like the option to have a brief category introduction non abbreviated top of the product listing and to have the rest at the bottom of it. I am curious if an override/ module adding this 2nd database entry would do the trick. This entry could be a clone of the normal category descripton so any template could make use of it or anyone could just add the part to show this 2nd entry. Tpl allows to shorten strings so a module could even give us the option to skip the first x lines/chars before it shows the 2nd part right under product listing. PS: My problem is that I am no coder at all.

Sir Slick, I am also so very much thrilled - I can't tell you. Though I still have to import old reviews into Datakick's great review module I must thank you in advance for giving this great module to us. I am in ecommerce for 6 years and have literally lost hundreds if not thousands of euros to these services (I call them just members of the Vulture Club in ecoomerce) that charge so much for a "review system". All I was after was a way to send this "review" emails. I was a customer of Ekomi, Trusted Shops (big one in Germany) and Yotpo. I never felt happy with them. Now I see light again despite the fact that I am already a happy Thirty Bees user and am more than happy looking forward to have Review by Datakick running and your Send-Review-Request module. Additionally I know that my shop will not have to run any external calls via scripts like Yotpo etc. since these slowed my shop down very much. Thank you! /bow

I am looking for a way to split category description into a part positioned top of the product list and into a part at the bottom. Great would be if we could via GUI/backoffice settings determine how many chars or lines we want in each section/part. My intention is that there would be a nice way to get much more text into the "viewable" description but with the 'tick' that a short part is on top of the product list as usual and the "more" link jumps to the bottom part under the product list. Google should be happy and customers not bugged with too much text before the products they are looking for. I think this could be done via smal template changes. Perhaps a new field in the DB for bottom description is needed but I do not know and do not think so. in summary it would be great if this could be integrated into the community theme or into a means this could be used with other templates/themes, too.

I am interested to install from source. I downloaded and installed composer for windows. I use Xampp based on php 7.1 at the moment. I hope I will find out how to use composer. But I wonder what this vendor folder is about. I take it form the release 1.0.4_rc1. What I am most interested in at the moment for testing purposes is if I can make use of symbolic links. All my GIT projects are cloned via Sourcetree into a certain folder. All my Xampp project are in another one. So i thought well, GIT (in my case Sourcetree) keeps the Thirtybees project files up to date and all I have to do is to make a symbolic folder link. The git folder as source and the xampp/htdocs folder /thirtybees as target. I had to learn then how to use the composer and do copy the vendors folder from the named .zip into the target folder. If I got it right and if it makes sense at all I could work on the latest sources locally this way. comments? :)

Yes, that is right and easy since it is also described there in the module that marked parts are not listed/indexed in the sitemap. But still I do not know why modules are listed at all. At least the once I see in my list make no sense to me being there at all as option. I hoped that somebody could explain the reason to me.

Ehm, marked or deactivated? All other modules also deactivated? I really to not get it why the modules are listed at all in the sitemap module. For a decade I thought sitemap content is pretty straight forward but there must be a good reason why this module lists the modules, too?!

Hello I once again spent some hours to work with product images and their compression. I ended up with the conclusion to use Kraken's API in order to not spent to much time on this. So I bought the Kranen.IO module that is compatible with ThirtyBees. I had some difficulties to understand how to set it up in order to make use of Kraken's 'intelligent lossy" compression. I also have installed and active ImageMagick 'Plus'. I thought it might benefit me since it changes JPG's to 'progressive' once in the case I might have forgotten to export them this way in Gimp/IrfanView/Photoshop ?! Also I thought the crop setting is cool since the Kraken module does not offer this though the Api would allow it I think. In summary: shoot product image in raw in high resolution do image proccessing in software of choise, reduce resolution to e.g. 2200 pixels width (in order to satisfy Apple users and those who run displays with mega resolution - or is this the wrong way to do it?) and export it as web image (I use at the moment JPG format with 85% quality and trigger progressive if I not forget it -- but ThirtyBees V1.0.4 supports WebP as format. So, this workflow has to change). UPLOAD it to Thirtybees Thirtbees backoffice image settings are respected and TB produces the given resolutions for the webshop and does another! image compression (or only if possible or not done before? does it recognise in the JPS's that they were already optimized be let's say Photoshop before?) ImageMagick and Kraken modules (overrides) kick in and work on the image (again) Perhaps we and customers can now benefit from crisp and nice and fast loading images. There is another unknown factor to all this for me. Many shoprunners use perhaps StoreCommander for the daily work. I do so. I think there was also advertisement that StoreCommander is compatible with Thirtybees. The issue is if you upload images with StoreCommander this has its own settings how to deal with JPG/PNG, compression and cropping :( Perhaps here is another StoreCommander user and could haev a look at this and explain it? I attach a screenshot of the settings. I had hoped that it would make use of the ThirtyBees settings but if not... Well at least I wonder in this case if ImageMagick module makes any sense any more (since I believe that SC uses the same libraries to crop and compress?). PS: The Kraken Module shows this code: //quality images if ((bool) $this->config_vars['KIO_OPTIMAL_QUALITY'] === false) { $data['lossy'] = true; if ($this->config_vars['KIO_QUALITY'] != 100) { $data['quality'] = (int) $this->config_vars['KIO_QUALITY']; } } So, if module is set to "Optimal" and the module code is $data['lossy'] = true; then it may use Kraken's "intelligent lossy" compression. If we change the code to = false then lossless... ?! Else, if "optimal settings" is off then kicks in an override with fixed set compression in percentage (what is 100% ? also lossless or best lossy?).

Re: Sitemap Well there are indeed many modules I wonder why they are listed... I am sure mine is not optimal set up :(

Cool would be a section in the TB forum where we could download "JSON" overrides for the named themes. Each of the commercial themes has micro data markup integrated but since TB offers the nice TB module "JSON" markup... I am happy with Warehouse theme until TB realeases a template editor for the communinty theme. And I vote for an editor not only for the homepage but also for category pages (category ID) and cms pages (cmd ID).

I also vote for an option to use variables like "date of order", "name" .... etc.

Thank you again. I did not know that. I think I should be more relaxed with this and just not change a running system until there is a RC or stable update.

I still have problems to understand how to maintain TB - at least after doing a manual upgrade to RC 1.0.4. I followed the tut of https://forum.thirtybees.com/topic/1404/upgrade-to-latest-source/14 and noticed that the bankwire module has already version 2.0.6 on Git. In my installation there runs still 2.0.5. This is just an example but is there no auto update anymore? Do I really have to check wheather there are no versions for the modules I run under the RC 1.0.4 Thirtybees?
