Hi Dear Author,

Some E-commerce companies say this theme is slow.

e-commerce is a big sector developing and competition is very high.

Will it work slowly when we buy this theme?

Opencart ecommerce themes are generally very fast

This is our site: https://www.eticaret.tv

It will be installed as shop.eticaret.tv.

I request information.

Regards

Merhaba Sevgili Yazar,

Bazı E-ticaret firmaları bu temanın yavaş olduğunu belirtiyor.

e-ticaret gelişen büyük bir sektör ve rekabet çok yüksek.

Biz bu temayı satın aldığımızda yavaş mı çalışacak?

Opencart e-ticaret temaları genelde çok hızlıdır.

This is our site: https://www.eticaret.tv

shop.eticaret.tv olarak kurulacak.

bilgi rica ederim.

Hi, there are a lot of factors that may affect store performance, most common are the amount of store data you have and your hosting plan performance. If you display a lot of content on a page it will be slow with any theme, it really depends on how you organise your pages.

Journal provides powerful performance tools built-in, but it won’t magically make heavy sites with lots of content fast.

Hi, I have a small issue….I have 3 licenses for J3 used on 3 websites, i’m having them upgraded one at a time separately but don’t have a record of which licence code was used for which. so is there a way to find out?

Hi, as long as you hold one license for one domain they can be interchangeable so no need to do anything, just own a matching number of licenses for as many domains you use the theme on.

Best Regards.

Hi support, how can I set typing limit for product grid description?

Hi, please look in Journal > Skins > Edit > Product Listing > Description Limit.

Best Regards.

Hi, can I create two different types of products? (in design style) In my case I sell “products” and “services”, both are paid as if they were normal products. But when the customer enters to buy a product … see the texts, blocks etc etc related to the products. But I want him to see other things when he goes to pay for the services. In products for sale you can see the blocks that I created etc. In the services for sale I want you to see other txt blocks etc. Thanks!

Hi, you can set you different tabs with different content Journal > Product Extras > Product Tabs. See: https://docs.journal-theme.com/docs/product-extras/tabs/

Or use pretty much any other custom module and add them to each product (or specific sets of products) via Journal > Product Extras > Extra Modules, see https://docs.journal-theme.com/docs/product-extras/extra-modules/

For both you make use of the advanced product assignment and rules we have in place so you can assign different ones to different types of products: https://docs.journal-theme.com/docs/workflow/assignment/

Best Regards.

Is there a reason product titles in the category and grid view no longer use h3/h4 tags?

Could you let me know which files i would need to change to make them a <”h3”> again? the directory is super confusing, thanks for the reply.

UPDATE add H3 to name tags for anyone wondering. catalog/view/theme/journal3/template/journal3/product_card.tpl

Hi, yes that’s the file. Thanks.

I have a mod on my site that swaps Ex Tax: to Inc Tax:.

For this mod to work I have to set my site to Display prices with tax: No.

Unfortunately this means my rich snippet prices are also generated by Journal without tax included.

The code in question is in controller/journal3/seo.php…

static::$tags[‘price’] = number_format($this->tax->calculate($product_info[‘special’] ? $product_info[‘special’] : $product_info[‘price’], $product_info[‘tax_class_id’], $this->config->get(‘config_tax’)), 2, ’.’, ’’);

Can you tell me how to modify this code so that despite the site being set to not include tax in the price the rich snippet price DOES inc tax??

I’m afraid my support has long expired (though I never used it);

Regards, Zan

Hi, remove $this->tax->calculate function in that file. Please note that our support does not cover such modifications and you may have to consult with an Opencart developer for more information.

Best Regards.

Hello, i know that our support has expired, but we want to set up a new opencart site with journal 3. We imported our products, 20.000 products. With the classic theme or journal 2 we have a fast loading page and low mysql queries. When we installed journal 3, our server is, very slow. We moved to innodb and we have now a little performance but still slow. When we change a order history it takes about 2 sec. With classic theme its instantly.

With journal 3 installed, if we go to a product and press refresh (f5) for 10 sec continous the mysql queries go to 700-800 and the site is down for 10-15sec.

What is the problem? We have a VPS 2gb ram php 7.1 mysql 5.7

Thanks!

Hi, we would need to take a look at your setup to properly determine what’s going on, please file a ticket on our support page and consult with our developers or send us an email.

Best Regards.

Hi DA,

I am trying to remove categories dropdown option on search on mobile view but it’s still displaying. I have already disabled the category view from styles>search>Default>Categories> Status=Off

Hi DA, never mind on the above, i figured out and it’s working now, for some reason the pre-defined demo module that i was using had the issue, but when i created a new module it worked.

I am using WebP extension, but the manufacturer module layout on home page breaks the webp image but the rest of the formats are okay.

Hi, we are not aware of such issue, please file a ticket on our support page so we can take a closer look at this.

Best Regards.

Hi, I noticed a bug: At product page, if you give manual quantity and after hit add to cart button, it just refresh the price not add to cart. Regards, Barna

You need to defocus the field before scrolling the page. You have the input field selected and focused and then register a scroll event on the page before clicking the button. You can’t do both, either click outside the field or don’t scroll right in between your actions.

And it is able to set the default behavior of qty input like original opencart: not show counted multiple price just the simple price and add to cart is works after on every kind event? Thanks!

It works in any scenario, except when you have the field focused, and instead of clicking outside or directly on the add to cart button, you take a different action like scrolling.

How can i change the category image – when i change in skins it have no effect :(

Hi, nor sure which ones you mean but those from the Journal modules will not change since they are set up in each module and the module can support any combinations.

Best Regards.

If I go to a category and then the images of the subcategory appear. I would like to have made these pictures bigger. Especially when there are no products in the main category. Spent many hours looking for it yesterday. But that turned out to be difficult because changing the image sizes has no effect. For what are these size specifications needed when they have no effect?

Hi, you may need to work with the Items per Row option in Journal > Skins > Edit > Category > Subcategories > Items per Row.

In this option you’ll be able to indicate how many items to display per row at any resolution, just add breakpoint rules and apply desired items per row. For each rule there is also a spacing option so apply a spacing between the products as well.

This spacing is a variable defined in Journal > Variables > Spacing, but you can also type a custom value in each field and click enter.

See our docs on Items per Row for more info: https://docs.journal-theme.com/docs/options/items-per-row/

Best Regards.

Great new Update!!! But – i found a bug :) You need on FreeBSD Systems the path to optipng, jpegoptim and cwebp

‘cwebp’ => static::exec(”/usr/local/bin/cwebp -version 2>&1”),

I changed and works fine now.

Hi, not sure if that’s actually needed, make sure executables are in your PATH and it should work.

Best Regards.

Hi team. I work on a project which is at opencart 2.3.0.2 with Journal 2.

I have a strange problem. At the special product page, i get all products with special price but also i get and many products that have a regular price (i don’t add them to special price).

After many tests, i found that happens after i press the show more tab (pagination). When i press to show more it shows me products with and without a special price.

Any solution? thanks

We did, it’s being investigated and a reply sent as soon as possible.

Best Regards.

Awesome support. You solved my problem. Thanks for all

Thank you for your feedback!

Hi, Now I can take to the Cart more Product than has the shop’s Stock. And just write at the Checkout, it is more than available. How can I set back to not able to take more quantity to Cart as the max. stock quantity? Thanks!

Hi, you must disable stock checkout, as we’ve suggested above: https://take.ms/80mp5

Best Regards.

This bug has all of yours Demo pages too (despite of disable Stock Checkout). So anyone can put even 1 million quantity of product to cart. Best Regards, Barna

That option prevents users from accessing the checkout page, they still can add to cart out of stock products and see the cart page but not the checkout page.

Best Regards.

I recently upgraded to Journal 3. Is it possible to make a text rotator like in Journal 2? Thanks!

Journal 3 is completely new and different from Journal 2, and does not have the same modules. It appears a similar rotating text isn’t available. You can try using the slider module to fade in slides with just text.

Best Regards.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.

Thank you!

Hello! I am planning to buy your theme, I have a question: I want to use “Telephone” instead of email for customers to log in.When I bought, do you support that?Thanks you!

Hi, there is no such option in Opencart and our support does not cover such customisations.

Best Regards.

Thanks for reply, I can pay for this request because I don’t want to use extension,Hope you reply again!

We are replying but we can’t provide system modifications unfortunately, you’d have to consult with a 3rd party Opencart developer. We recommend iSenseLabs http://isenselabs.com/

Best Regards.

Are there any Journal theme experts or partners of yours that you recommend and that can help us to build a new site? We are looking for someone who is truly proficient and can work hand in hand with our developer if needed. Thank you!

Hi, unfortunately not many, the only people experiences with Journal we know are iSenseLabs http://isenselabs.com/

Best Regards.
