GREAT THEME! thanks for resolving the issues that didn't already fix themselves after I changed my PLESK setting to domain structure "www.domain.tld". seems nothing in NopCommerce (nor Facebook) liked it when my domain structure was "domain.tld". Wish I knew that one a year ago! Haha ;)

one user-interface request still lingers ...

13) under NEWS ARTICLES listed on the home page, there is a "[View News Archive]" link *only* when the screen is in tablet or small format, but not when the screen is full width. If I only display 2 of my articles on home page, full screen users don't have access to all articles.

*FEATURE REQUEST* - judging by your response in the follow-up post on this, there is not supposed to be a link to the News Archive within each news page because of how Nop Commerce is built. I'll be adding this to the bottom of my pages manually, but this would be a nice way to prevent high bounce rates when someone follows a link to your article and can't navigate to any others. Thought I'd throw that out there.

The option to have a News link in the Mega Menu would be nice too, but I know I'm asking too much so I'll add mine manually. =)


thanks for your time and for fixing the initial issue that I mentioned. this is a superb theme, among many!!

Can you please add small screen (tablet, smartphone) support in cloud zoom to replace NopCommerce's default behavior of opening gallery images in a new browser page? From a customer viewpoint, I should never be taken away from a page I'm considering buying from. Thanks guys and GREAT WORK on all the responsive themes!

Product images are larger than image holder (shoes appear cut off) on tablet portrait mode. Works fine on landscape. Example... http://themes.motion.nop-templates.com/adidas-nitrocharge-shoe

WONDERFUL THEME!!

I really like the "go to top" button and from a customer perspective (when looking for quick access to my cart) next to this button would be an ideal place to add a second round shopping bag link with item count if possible.

As a side note that ties in with helping a customer get to their shopping bag easier, thank you for replacing the checkout button with the shopping cart button (instead of a small link) on the AJAX CART popup window - much better navigation choice because otherwise they are missing Gift Card & Discount entry fields, and easy ability to modify their cart first.

GREAT WORK!!!

Color square alignment seems to drop underneath the attribute title on full width .CSS styling. Displays properly on all other screen widths. Here's an example link so you can see first hand: https://iowish.com/any-st-pattys-design-completely-customized

Thanks

I'm keeping you guys busy! (LOL) ... here's one last feature request for the day!

"CALL TO ACTION PROMOTIONS" - I often see more discussion about my products on my business facebook page or twitter than I do at the actual product (on my site) level. Case being, I can have 1,000 likes of a facebook post I made about a product, but the actual LIKE count on my product page is barely 20. I've considered adding comment boxes (in a quick tab) for each of my products to get people interacting through my website, but that is a lot of work as I have to change the reference URL for each comment box to apply directly to the product it's attached to. I'd rather input my APP ID one time and have a plugin automatically create the comment box for each product I apply it to. When a customer uses this or another share feature, it would be nice to have an "event" created in the system so that a discount or reward point function can be called.

That's just one aspect of what can be done with this plugin. My vision for this plugin also includes the following...

1) extended reward points integration based on registered user "events" and time-frames for which they occurred. (eg. a customer shares or comments on a product. each share or comment earns them "X" amount of reward points. only "X" amount can be earned in a 1 week period (for example).

2) same as above, but instead of (or in addition to) reward points, I can assign a time-sensitive discount that is presented in a modal popup window to encourage customers to purchase the item they shared or commented on within a certain amount of time - or the discount is removed.

3) similar to how www.vistaprint.com works, at the checkout level - we can encourage cross-sells and order completion by offering time-sensitive discounts on cross-sell items if added to their current purchase before we complete their transaction. for this to fully work, it has to occur after an initial "authorization" has successfully completed for their payment method, and before the final amount has been charged to that payment method.

Part of this will likely rely on reworking some core NOP code (to create additional events, allow checkout-level call to action scripts, etc.) but your development team knows the limitations and requirements if you decide this is something you can offer.

Thanks again! - Matt

this feature request isn't theme specific, maybe more of a plugin feature request?...

EXTENDED PRODUCT ATTRIBUTES ... there is at least one work item on codeplex for the Nop team to add conditional attribute functionality, however, this seems to get passed up on each new release and I do not see it happening for 3.3.

That said, can this be done at a plugin level where we can pull from an existing product and manipulate it's attribute fields via a Plugin's Admin interface? Ideally, I envision a scenario where I can manage multiple product "configurations" and each new configuration can either be applied to a single product, a select group of products or globally (much like quick tabs and other plugins).

To really make this feature desirable, it would also be the perfect platform for us to create pre-set attribute combinations (SIZE: S, M, L, XL, etc; COLOR SQUARES: red, blue, green, etc) that we build once and apply swiftly to any product we manage through this plugin's admin panel.

Thanks again for listening and I'm eager to help on this one if you feel it's something we all can benefit from! (and I know we all can)

thanks for helping with my previous requests/issues!

Here's a new request: COLOR NAME DISPLAY w/COLOR SQUARES

When a customer selects a color square, they can only see what the name is if they hover it in full desktop mode. Since a majority of my customers use mobile devices, and some of them may be partially or fully color blind, I've had orders placed where the customer thought it was going to be a different color based on their perception of the color square alone.

Yes, they should have seen the color name in the order summary but even when my customers realize a mistake in the shopping cart, it's a hassle for them to go back and correct it. I'm still using Nop 3.1 because I've had zero luck upgrading to 3.2 (separate issue) and there is no quick link to edit a cart item.

That said, my goal for my entire shopping cart system has been to make the customer experience fool proof, fluent and as confusion free as possible. This prevents dropped carts, high bounce rates, customer contact requests, etc. The COLOR SQUARE w/ NAME feature can bring me one step closer.

Thanks for considering it. (btw, the user voice portal doesn't work well for me because I never seem to have enough points to do anything significant with. just though I'd mention!)

Hey all! I'm very impressed with the new responsive slider menu for Electronics theme. Is this going to be made into an option for any other themes? And is it currently possible for owners of other themes to change our responsive menus to this style without waiting for a new theme release?

Thanks!

Please disregard that I mentioned addthis or mobile browsers, it really has nothing to do with them yet they pointed me to how bad the issue is. You'll see exactly what I mean if you try the following...

1) go to Facebook and insert this NC-based product link in a new post: http://iowish.com/kiss-me-im-iowish-t-shirt-bella-canvas (it takes a while to load page data, then it gives me 2 image choices of completely different products)
2) as a cross reference I'm testing a second site on woocommerce (WordPress) and it works flawlessly when I insert this link in a Facebook post: http://dublindees.com/shop/lets-get-ready-to-stumble-t-shirt/ (facebook loads the correct image immediately)

Doesn't matter what theme, device, computer or browser. Images from my nopcommerce site are not very social network friendly and I've noticed this to varying degrees since the admin panel changed the way site logos are applied to our theme. Not blaming the panel, but did anything else change as far as what images can be copied from the page when that was implemented?
