hi i did nothing to the website but found out 2 days no sales on the website and realise my website is like distorted …. www.buypianomalaysia.com

can you check for me ? thank you

Hi, that’s not something necessarily related to the theme but we need to take a look at your setup, please file a ticket on our support page if you need assistance.

Best Regards.

Hi,

Based on your team’s recommendation that version 3.2 is good to go into production and that we should test it on a test environment, we went ahead and applied the theme and the modifications to our labs domain, after few trial and errors we wanted to export the settings file to upload on our Production environment.

But we were unable to do so. It kept saying that the license is in use on the labs domain, we deleted the license from the labs domain, hoping that it would resolve the issue, but that didn’t happen and now we are kinda stuck.

We have already raised a ticket with you, but no response on the same yet, here is the ticket number: ARP-9PX-MVZZ

Hi, we did introduce license management in 3.2 but if you have any issues with this you need to consult with our developers, they will get back to you when the ticket comes up in the queue. Thanks for your patience.

If i update from 3.1.8 to Journal v.3.2 beta 11 do i need to reconfigure anything? Is it just a simple update like the versions before? Do i need to pay attention to something? Is there any change log file to check what have you changed?

Hi, yes it’s a regular update, you don’t need to do anything special.

We don’t have a standard changelog yet, but you can read about some of the features on the beta page: https://www.journal-theme.com/beta-v32/

Journal 3.2 should not reset your existing Journal 3 design, but may interfere with custom code modifications or some 3rd party extensions. We recommend you first try it on a separate test environment and if you run into any issues use the dedicated email address or file a ticket on our support page.

Best Regards.

Thank you.

Hi, I wanted to change some row background colors in Journal->Layouts->Home and something happend and I thing that for some reason body color change by itself and I dont know how to fix it can you help me ???

Hi, you may have modified a variable color from Journal > Variables > Colors… which may have been also applied on the body background in Journal > Styles > Page Layout > [Your Active Style] > ...

Just add a different color there. For more info Hi, please file a ticket on our support page and consult with our developers.

Best Regards.

Hello, I use the opencart 3.0.3.2 and Journal 3 and I inserted in Design-> Seo url the query = checkout/success and the keyword = checkout_success. When I buy something the url of success page doesn’t change. What else I have to do??

Thank you very much!

Hi, this doesn’t seem a Journal related issue, please make sure everything works fine when using the default Opencart theme first.

Best Regards.

Is it possible to add multiple values to an attribute, delimited with coma (RAM: 4GB, 8GB) and be presented by the Journal Filter as different values on the frontend?

What if i pay and you don’t solve my problem ???

That’s not how this works, we can’t guarantee that since we first have to investigate your particular issue. People that need to file tickets buy support. At least you have 6 months of support available.

OK I pay and send some tickets coming more to do the best for journal and our store

I have attribute RAM: with two value 4GB, 8GB ( 2 attribute values separated by separator ,) so filter display only one attribute the first one 4GB, what i need to do to get in filter two attributes 4GB, 8GB for this product. When i click on 4B i see but i dont have 8G atrribute how i can choise and get again the same product but in ellection of 8GB attribute.

Hi, can i use 3.2 for production now ? when would you push the update , maybe this week or nearly ? Thanks

H, yes you can use it. We still don’t have an exact release date but that’s coming soon – the reason for the delay is related to the redesign of the demos which takes a lot of time, but the underlying theme engine is the same so you can use it.

Should you have any issues to report just send emails to the dedicated email address or file tickets on our support page.

Best Regards.

So finally after several months of using Journal without any bugs, I’ve come across one(though it may well be an issue at my end).

The “Additional Options” settings are not getting saved for me anywhere in the theme. Screengrab below:

https://imgur.com/a/gGtJph8

I’ve tried this in Firefox, Safari and Edge in both live environment and on localhost. The issue is everywhere for me.

What could be causing this to happen? There are no errors generated in sql & apache logs or opencart logs.

Hi, please file a ticket on our support page so we can take a closer look at this.

Best Regards.

Hi, I turned on default opencart filters but they do not work. When I change to default theme they work properly I assume it’s theme related, how can this be fixed (I need to use default oc filters)?

Hi, please file a ticket on our support page and consult with our developers.

Best Regards.

Hi,

I currently have a website am happy with the look of it, however, every time I update the OC, I have to re design again.

If I buy your extension and use one of your demos, can I edit and preview before publishing it. I don’t want my visitor see that my website is keep changing as I’m editing. Basically I can’t risk losing customers because of the new theme that needs a few adjustments.

Many Thanks, Mo

Hi, you can set up a separate development environment and customize your Journal store there until you’re happy with it. Then, it’s just a matter of exporting your design and importing it to your live store – same as you would export a demo from us and import it into your own environment.

Best Regards.

Hey Digital Atelier Could you please advise what we should do with multilingual? The Journal 3.2 doesn’t support any third party extensions for multilingual. And none of OpenCart developers can fix it (we’ve asked about 10-12 developers and they said the new Journal ignores a lot of OpenCart principes). If you guys make an absolutely new theme that you should take responsibility for your clients. We are relly respect all the Digital Atelier team and your work. It’s fantastic. But please try to understand us (your clients) and our bussiness. We create a lot of websites with the Joutnal theme. But the multilingual is super importan t for SEO. As the new Journal doesn’t support a lot of third part extention so please, create your own one. Or implement your own solution for multilingual websites. There are two criticaly important things: adding the hreflang tag (ex. <link rel=”alternate” hreflang=”lang_code” href=”url_of_page” />. More info: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/localized-versions) and adding a lang prefix. Example: US: site.com (site.com/internal-page) ES: site.com/es (site.com/es/internal-page) AR: site.com/ar (site.com/ar/internal-page) UA: site.com/uk (site.com/uk/internal-page) RU: site.com/ru (site.com/ru/internal-page) etc. Help us, please. We really need it…! We can’t update our current website to the new Journal 3.2 and can’t create new websites on the J 3.2. Also, we don’t want to search any other OpenCart themes as we believe in your support / help with it.

Hi, Journal 3.2 follows as much as possible Opencart standards. However, Opencart itself has some limitations for customisation as well as performance bottlenecks, one of which is related to how SEO urls are generated, performing a lot of database queries which slow down the entire store.

To overcome that, we’ve added our own seo urls implementation which reduces database queries to a minimum but this implementation indeed may not work with third party seo url extensions.

In this case, you can control where our own seo url implementation is used (All Links, Journal Blog urls, Disabled), you can find that option in Journal > System > Settings > Performance > Seo Urls Engine, set it to Disabled and your third party extension will handle seo urls after.

Best Regards.

hello there is a option when someone register to have to chose if is a individual or a company ?

Hi, you can define multiple customer groups in Opencart or create a custom field for Account, all these can be found in Opencart > Customers.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your answer, i added custom fields but there is no option do add them to billing address, or in skin>checkout -> Fields tab, there is no option to display them to specific customer group, there is only visible/hide in combination with custom fields create contradictions. I need to request billing info for specific customer group (for registered business) like VAT,CIF, etc.

if add custom fields to Address location like VAT ID, when i uncheck “Same Address Status” custom fields will show here to and this is the issue

if i add custom fields to Account location it will be issues in my account addresses, invoice

Hi, custom fields and customer groups as well as taxes are managed by Opencart platform, please consult with an Opencart developer regarding how to add such functionality to your store and check if everything works the way you want when using the default Opencart theme first.

Best Regards.

On a completely fresh install of OC 3.0.3.8 with Journal 3.1.8 PHP 7.4 I get a warning in checkout/cart and also in checkout: “Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null … catalog/controller/journal3/layout_notice.php on line 12”. What is this?

Hi,

Please edit catalog/controller/journal3/layout_notice.php and replace

‘c’ => $this->settings[‘cookie’],

with

‘c’ => $this->settings[‘cookie’] ?? ’’,

and your issue will be solved after.

Best Regards.

Hi ! Indeed, my issue was solved. Thank you so much for swift and accurate information! Best regards.

Glad to hear it, good luck with your store!

When will this theme sale off?

Hi, we are not sure at this time when there will be a discount, but nost likely the price will go up in the future.

Best Regards.

I really want to buy this theme, but it seems beyond a student’s budget like mine.

Hi, we will see if anything will come up in the near future but we don’t have one at this particular moment, you can check back on ask in a private message via the contact form on our profile page.

Best Regards.

When will the 3.2 update come? Is there a date? We do not receive the update for very long distance.

i installed 3.2v on my test server. after testing it on the server, I get the error I mentioned below when I try to upload it to my own domain name. how do I fix this. ” LICENSE_ALREADY_IN_USE: confident-mcnulty.176-9-187-86.plesk.page”

Hi, we have deactivated the license on that domain, you can use it on your own domain now.

Best Regards.

thanks. i’ll try to activate it in my domain.

If I return a product in Order Page. When I submit on it it gives below error:

Notice: Undefined index: product_id in /home/web2.abmra.in/catalog/model/account/return.php on line 4Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/web2.abmra.in/catalog/controller/startup/error.php:34) in /home/web2.abmra.in/storage/modification/system/library/response.php on line 36

Only on the version of OpenCart 3.0.3.7

If the template is disabled. The error message does not appear

I can’t try the demo. Because there is a problem with orders on all demos. ( Products do not appear in orders and the value of the order will be zero ) https://prnt.sc/1ud2g49

Unfortunately, I cannot open a ticket because my support period has expired

The problem also exists and there is a customer who talked about it before

Hi, if you think this is a Journal issue and everything works fine when using the default Opencart theme you can send us a private message via the contact form on our profile page with temporary access to your store so we can investigate this further.

How i can update 3.1.8 to 3.2 beta?

Hi, by following our update docs here: https://docs.journal-theme.com/docs/update/

Best Regards.

Where i can get file 3.2 beta last update file 3.1.8

Tag search page showing 5 products per row in mobile view, how to change it to 2/3. Sorry, unable to getting that option.

Hi, you need to work with the Items per Row option from Journal > Skins > Edit > Product Listing > Products per Row, which indicates the actual width of the item (or product). Check the setting under the No Columns option.

Please check out this article for an in-depth explanation: https://support.journal-theme.com/knowledgebase.php?article=63

Best Regards.
