We will be building 2 sites with it, watch  develop.

Thanks Nick and Jeff for a great foundation to build on!

Re: V8 Showcase. Show us yours.



To get it to work with SEO on, I added back right after <head>:

Code:

<base href="<?php print $this->globals('core_display.base_url'); ?>" />

To get the fancy Mini cart to work I changed:

Code:

 $skinfunc->include_skinfile('includes/minicart.php'); ?>

to

Code:

<?php $skinfunc->namespace('core','skinwidgets','HEADER'); ?>

I also disabled the right column    $skinfunc->namespace('ecom','skinwidgets','SIDEMENU'); ?> , because it wanted to repeat the left side.

I also took out the Google tracking script since CCP8 adds that back.

Well, that got me started into the area of acceptability anyway.

Very nice site!  Can you tell me how you activated that banner on the home page?  I don't want to hijack this thread so maybe on a new thread or PM?  Thanks.

Re: V8 Showcase. Show us yours.

How do you get the Quick Store Search and the Shopping Cart / Checkout to both be in the header and side by side? I can only get them one on top of the other...

Thanks

Re: V8 Showcase. Show us yours.

You can create two divs in the header portion of your skin, then call up different widget groups from each.  Assuming you did something like this:

Code:

<div id="cart" style="float: right; display: inline;">
<?php $skinfunc->xnamespace('core','skinwidgets','CART'); ?>
</div>
<div id="search" style="float: right; display: inline;">
<?php $skinfunc->xnamespace('core','skinwidgets','SEARCH'); ?>
</div>

You'd need to assign the shopping cart widget to the desktop group 'CART' and the search widget to the desktop group 'SEARCH' in the management interface under:

System > Displays > Skin Widgets

I would leave their classes as 'skin_widgetclass_HEADER' to make sure they continue to display the same way.

I like your home page Mark.  Can you explain how you got all the categories to appear?  Is it a standard setting in the back-end interface or did you do something special?

Standard setting, just change the css value in the admin

I get it now: I assume that he selected the products to display in one of the 5 "Featured Products Slots".

Re: V8 Showcase. Show us yours.

Work in progress - http://www.tricker.com/waterlilies/ -

(1) 3-column layout where store owner can manage all banners (none are not hardcoded).

(2) Custom home page slideshow that client wanted instead.

(3) Intelligent number of columns on category page - forget about setting the number of items (categories or products) in the column - the software figures it out for you.

(4) Truncated product descriptions on caty page with "more..." to avoid excess copy.

And, more to come!

Re: V8 Showcase. Show us yours.

We just launched this one last week:

http://www.odgirl.com/

It was an upgrade from a version 5.1 site which has been running for the past seven or eight years.  Did a bunch of custom work on this one with sku management and cross-selling items as options.  Turned out great.

Re: V8 Showcase. Show us yours.

@dimitrik am liking the background and the transparent header effect, although have you made the content narrower?

What do you think to my first finally complete v8 project/upgrade? http://www.icctvsystems.co.uk/

Stock layout was pretty good but widened it a little and gone for some nice bold colouring that I think works quite well. Wanted to keep it clear and simple!
