HI Shay,

As I said both plugins work the same way internally.
I forgot to mention that the Instant Search also offers you the option to search in the full description of the products, which if turned off can increase performance.

Thanks

Hi Shay,

The Nop Instant Search plugin was released for nopCommerce 2.4 when there wasn't such search in nopCommerce. nopCommerce added this functionality in the later versions of nopCommerce. Even though there is a default autocomplete search in nopCommerce and both do the same job, we prefer to use the Nop Instant Search as it allows more settings in the administration, which makes it easier to manipulate for a store owner. For example with the Instant Search plugin you can change when the search results to appear i.e after typing at least 4 chars and also you can set the size of the images in the search results.
So it is up to you which one to use as a matter of personal preferences.
In summary - both do the same internally and give the same results and there are no performance differences but the Instant Search has more options in the administration and better visual styling(I personally think that it looks better).

Thanks

Hi codestream,

You are free to modify the html by editing the view(.cshtml) of the Quick Tabs.
Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.NopQuickTabs\Views\ProductTab\_ProductTabs.cshtml

I guess then we can rename the plugin to Quick Tabs\Accordion :)

Thanks

Hi toanhnt,

You can find the css file of the DarkOrange theme here:
Themes\DarkOrange\Content\styles.css

Add this style:

.home-page-product-grid .product-item
{
width:160px;
}

But please note that you need to change other styles as well so that it could look nicer.

Thanks

Hi atzmonca,

You need to edit this file:
Plugins\SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.MegaMenu\Views\MegaMenu\MegaMenu.cshtml

The changes you need to make are described in the file above. Simply comment some of the code  and uncomment the other.

Comment this line of code:

<li>@aboutUsTopicBlock</li>

Uncomment the line below:

 <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Topic", new { SystemName = "aboutus" })">@T("AboutUs")</a></li>

Thanks

Hi Sonia,

Please refer to this post as I have already explained this there. Just change the time to be 1 hour rather then 12 hours.

Should you have other questions regarding the Reminders don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks

Hi toanhnt,

Could you specify which home page image you want to make smaller?
There are many images on the home page - Sliders, Featured products, Carousels etc.
If you are talking about the hope page featured products then do you want to make only the images smaller or the whole product boxes?

Thanks

Hi David,

It is perfectly fine to have more than one nopCommerce theme on the same instance of nopCommerce during development. Actually this is how we develop our themes locally. We have all of them installed and just switch between them but we still haven't seen a real production store that allows theme selection.

Thanks

Hi David,

The Fashion theme plugin is required to manage the settings used by the Fashion theme. Since you have cloned the Fashion theme views (.cshtml) files then your new theme uses the same settings as the original Fashion theme. And having in mind that all settings in nopCommerce are shared between all themes this means that changing a setting via the plugin will apply in all themes that use it. In summary it is not a good idea to have multiple themes running at the same instance of nopCommerce as all the settings are shared as you are having a single database. I don't know why you want to run two themes on the same instance of nopCommerce but we wouldn't recommend doing this in production web site unless you are running Multiple web sites (Multi store) and be able to set a given setting per store.

I hope all these make sense.

Thanks

Hi David,

When you copied the Fashion theme into a new theme i.e FashionNew did you also made a copy of the Fashion theme folders into the plugins. Please note that each of our plugins is themeable, which means that it has a folder Themes that contains the styles, the additional widget zone and the views for the plugin specific for each theme. So if you have a clone of the Fashion theme then you basically need to clone the Themes\Fashion folders in our plugins as well.

Hope this helps!
