I need to filter a specific model out of the Catalog->Modules->Product module I created and I need to use the “Latest” option under “Product Rules”. Advanced setting isn’t able to do what I need…I need to edit the sql query directly. Can you tell me the specific function and/or file I can look at to accomplish this. I can code it myself, I have just been unable to find the file to edit and I’ve been searching over three hours.

Hi, all queries for product rules are located in catalog/model/journal3/filter.php file.

Best Regards.

Hi DA,

is it possible to create a popup banner only for those who are loged in as retailers(customer group).? We have 3 customer groups and we need only for one of them after they log in…

Hi, you have the Status option in each module so check the Customer Groups tab: https://cln.sh/CzMkRnGZ

The module will only render on the condition of the status.

Hi,

i have a client that is on Opencart 2.3.0.2. He has latest journal 2 theme version 2.16.8

Questions: 1) where on theme version 2 can we change size of grid images for products?

2) is it possbile to upgrade version 2 to version 3 in some easy way?

Tnx

Hi,

1. In Journal 2 that would be in Journal > Settings > Category Page > General > Products per Row…

2. Journal 3 is not compatible with Journal 2, it’s a complete redesign and recode so it would have to be treated as a new installation. If you decide to migrate we recommend Journal 3.2.

Best Regards.

Let’s say I have two groups of products. One I want the general layout, but the other group I want to assign a layout that has no add to cart, question buttons, qty, etc. I’ve searched all over and don’t see how to apply two different layouts like that. I see I can assign a general layout design to a product, and have limited styling, but not like how I want. Is this possible? How?

Hi, it’s currently not possible to assign different product page styles on different products, that is global in nature.

However, each product page has a unique class on the html so you could write custom css to hide elements you don’t need on a particular page, please file a ticket on our support page and consult with our developers for more info on that.

Thanks, sent mail already to the above mail. please look into it. Thanks

Hello, I am studying your beta version and would like to know how to add a new variable in the beta version 3.2, similar to {{ $customer_firstname }}, for example, store name. I tried to write it in /catalog/controller/journal3/startup.php after line 179: $this->journal3_cache->set(‘config_name’, $this->config->get(‘config_name’)); And then I wrote the variable {{ $config_name }} in the file cache.php. In version 3.1, this was somehow clearer. Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I’ve figured it out. The question is resolved. How do I add the website name to the variables. Thank you for the new solution with SuperCache.

Hello, Is there a way to limit the search bar so that results appear after typing the first 3 characters, for example? I have many problems with queries to the database because results appear in the search box from the first character you type and I have not found a way to limit. Thanks in advance

Hi, there is no option in admin for that but it can be achieved with some code changes, please file a ticket on our support page if you need technical assistance.

Hi,

I have just pruchased Theme but we are using OpenCart Version 4.0.2.3. Forgot to check it. Can we still use the Theme that we downloaded from here?

Thank you

Thank you!

Which files should we download? We like to import some Demo to.

Journal_Theme_3.2.0-rc.97_777ad2ba.zip (Size: 58.48 MB) Journal_Assets_3.2.0-rc.97_777ad2ba.zip (Size: 484.93 MB)

Sorry for your time!

Journal Theme files, you don’t need the assets.

Thank you!

Hello DA. Please tell me how to remove/disable email verification on the checkout page of Journal v.3.2.0-rc.97 (Quick Checkout Journal)? Or how to make a default email, for example user@gmail.com. Not all online store buyers have an email (old people don’t have an email). Please make the default email setting in the Journal settings. My technical support has ended.

But that’s how the underlying Opencart system works, we adhere to how the default checkout works. Try the default theme and see how it works.

If you can get the default Opencart mechanism to work without email then you can do the same in the custom checkout. This is not recommended but you can consult with a developer about modifying the default Opencart mechanism to confirm that the concept works at the system level, then you can modify the custom one as well, we have provided the file path, however we cannot provide such core system modifications.

Best Regards.

I’ve already done this myself. I assigned a specific email to all buyers (I hid it from buyers). Now the buyer does not need to enter an email at all. But a telephone is required. The buyer confirms his phone number via SMS. It’s a pity that you don’t make a default email in the theme settings.

We’re glad you got it working as you needed.

Hello, good luck. Can you provide updated information about the new version?

Hi, we are still actively working on finishing all new demos and their related variants, while releasing various updates on the new engine on our beta channel https://www.journal-theme.com/beta-v32/

Best Regards.

Hi again,

We have released a preliminary batch of new demos utilising our latest design system with color schemes.

We’re still working on more demo variants but you can now see the progress on our beta channel: https://www.journal-theme.com/beta-v32/

Best Regards.

Write how to use Custom Code (Custom Class, Custom CSS) for any module. Can you show any clear example on a template?

The question is resolved. I found a solution by trial and error.

Custom Class: custom-module Custom CSS: .custom-module { background-color: #f0f0f0; color: #333; padding: 10px; }

Hi, yes that’s pretty much it, you can add a custom class and then target that class with custom css.

Best Regards.

I found it wierd that after so many years there is still a bug with short description: even if its disabled in product grid/list settings, still appears on category page. of course can be removed with a simple css code but… that’s not the point.

Hi, we are not aware of such issue, there is an option to disable description in Product Grid / List style which works on category pages too. Please file a ticket on our support page if you need further assistance.

Best Regards.

Dear Journal Support Team,

I’ve noticed that while the Journal Theme provides an excellent platform for creating and managing blogs, it currently lacks the ability to display information about the author of each blog post. As a frequent blogger and reader, I find that knowing more about the author adds a personal touch and credibility to the content.

Therefore, I kindly request that you consider adding an “About Author” section to the blog layout within the Journal. This feature would allow authors to provide a brief bio, photo, and perhaps links to their social media profiles or website, enhancing the overall user experience and engagement with the content.

I believe that incorporating this feature would not only add value to the framework but also make it more appealing to bloggers and content creators looking for a comprehensive solution.

Thank you for considering my suggestion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter and hope to see this feature implemented in future updates of the Journal Theme .

Best regards,

Hi, we have noted your suggestion, currently this is not on our short to-do list, we’ll see what can be done about this in the future, thank you for your suggestion.

Best Regards.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your acknowledgment of my suggestion and understand that it may not be immediately feasible to implement. I look forward to seeing how you’ll continue to enhance the Journal Theme in the future.

Best Regards

We just want leave my our review on this theme. We have been using on our store, https://www.dreamportugal.pt , for long years. This theme simply works! Congratulations on the devs for such theme, the suport it’s also great.

Thank you so much for your rating and review, we appreciate it!

Hello,

I have a presale question.

Is this website https://euromobilecompany.co.uk/en based on your Theme?

And we would like to have the same navigation / filter as they have, is that possible with your theme?

Thank you!

Thank you for you fast clear answer. Appreciated!

Just a follow-up question. It is possible to ask you for customization for that off-canvas menu. So that you can build that for us in journal theme?

No unfortunately we do not provide custom design or development, you’d have to consult with a developer for that.

Best Regards.

I have a product with over 30 options, what would be a good way to show them in product page ? https://i.ibb.co/NZqZgX5/options.jpg

In that case you can turn off the push options from Journal > Styles > Product Page > [DEFAULT] > Product Details > Options > Push Options > ...

I am using 3.2.0-rc.93 , and there are no push options in styles – is it removed, not yet added, or the function is changed some how ?

It has been renamed in 3.2 in Custom Options, look in the same place, Journal > Styles > Product Page > Product Details > Product Options > Custom Product Options Styles > ...

In the front end, customer dash board Order History all the order status are showing Array. I have 3 licenses and support expire

Hi, we’re not sure how you mean or whether this is related to the theme, you can file a ticket on our support page with more info or send us a private message via the contact form on our profile page.

Best Regards.

please ignore

if I get an extended license, can I install the domain I want and I live in Turkey, do you have a discount?

Hi, the extended license does not cover multiple domains, only one end-product is covered under both licenses. For more extended license clarification we recommend you ask Envato directly.

More info here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005593363-Do-I-need-a-Regular-License-or-an-Extended-License

Best Regards.

then what is the meaning of the extended license left i will need to get a new license for each domain you don’t have a package price for agencies, don’t we get a permanent license

The extended license does not cover single end use for client sites, for that you need to buy one regular license for each of your end products (client sites).

We did not set up the licenses, we just sell under them through Envato Market, but they write the agreements, you can find more info here: https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard

More in-depth extended license information: https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/extended

Best Regards.

Hi DA, I am writing to seek clarification regarding the recent updates outlined in the changelog. Specifically, there seems to be a discrepancy between Version 3.1.13 and the existence of Version 3.2. As I intend to procure an additional license for the Opencart platform, specifically targeting version 3.0.3.9, I seek your guidance on which version would be most suitable for installation.

Moreover, I am curious about the status of Version 3.2—is it still in the beta phase? If so, could you kindly outline any potential drawbacks or disadvantages associated with installing a beta version? Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated as they will inform my decision-making process moving forward.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Hi, the changelog reflects the current official Journal 3.1 release available on Themeforest.

Journal 3.2 is still in a “release candidate” state while we iron out the last details of our new demo engine (color schemes + demo variants). It’s a matter of scaling now, but we can’t comment on a specific release date at this time, although anyone can use Journal 3.2 as is right now, currently at update 97 from our beta channel: https://www.journal-theme.com/beta-v32/

We support both 3.1 and 3.2 so if you have any issues just file a ticket on our support page.

We can’t outline any specific disadvantages in using 3.2 and we actually recommend it over 3.1 on unmodified stores. Exceptions are in cases where one might have modified their codebase or may be using custom extensions that were adapted to work with 3.1 and may need to be re-adapted for 3.2. But for fresh Opencart installations or regular updates on existing 3.1 stores you switch to 3.2 now.

When we do release 3.2 it will come alongside 3.1 so there will be two versions in the same package for some time, use whichever you want.

Best Regards.

Thank you

On my product page I had image on the left of the page and product details, add to cart etc o the right. Now all the product info and add to cart in display underneath the product image. How to move back?

Hi, you may have modified the page split ratio in Journal > Styles > Product Page > [Active Style] > General > Page Split Ratio. You can choose a lesser width for desktop, like 40%. and then apply breakpoint rules as needed. 100% will display the image on top, details below.

Best Regards.
