Hi ceejay34,

I am referring to the resources of our products. Each plugin has Resources folder and it contains the resources required for the given plugin. I am not talking about the general resources in nopCommerce. It is possible that there might be some problems with the german language pack or any other language packs but you need to contact the vendor of these language packs and ask them to fix these issues.

Hi alito1985,

Unfortunately this theme is quite different than the standard nopCommerce markup.
We downloaded the theme and tried to integrate the Ajax Filters plugin and found that there is some strange logic on some pages that is breaking some core functionality in nopcommerce.
There is a widget zone on the left column that needs to be show and the Ajax Filters are integrated into this widget zone but the theme has a different markup and does not show this widget zone (don't see any reason for this change really).
So you need to manually add this widget zone on the left column to get the Ajax Filters to appear. But this is not all as the markup and css classes of the controls is also different i.e view per page, sort by etc. So these controls will not be ajaxified by the Ajax Filters plugin.
You can upgrade to nopCommerce 3.6 and use the new default clean theme that comes for free and is fully compatible with all our plugins. Also all our plugins will have styling for the new default clean. You can see the new theme demo here.

Hi ceejay34,

If there are no language specific resource files for a given plugin then the plugin adds the English resources for all active languages on startup.
This is true for all our plugins.
So you just need to restart the application when you add a new language and you will have all the necessary resources installed for all plugins.
I don't see any missing resources in your web site.

Hi raftech,

We will be ready to release all our products the same day when nopCommerce 3.6 is officially released. But our practice shows that it is not a good idea to do so, because there have been times when new changes are added to the release several days after that.
This is due to the fact that a lot of people start installing a new version of nopCommerce only when it is officially released. Which means that in the first 1-2 days it is more likely that someone finds a major bug that will need fixing for the release.
So most probably we will wait and release all our products on 16th of June, so that at least 24 hours have passed after the official release and save our clients from possible updates later.

I hope this information is useful!

Hi dcsupp,

This is because you are missing the Smart theme styling for the JCarousel plugin.
Please make sure you have a folder named Smart in the Themes folder of the JCarousel plugin.
I can see that at the moment this file is not reachable, so it is either missing from the server or there is no access to it.
http://nop.dataconsulting.gr/tonermedia/Plugins/SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.JCarousel/Themes/Smart/Content/JCarousel.css

Please double check this and everything will be fine when the correct css is loaded.

Hi pacific nature,

Please submit a ticket and we will provide you the demo database, so that you can see how all the plugins are setup.

Hi pacific nature,

You can refer to the Tiffany theme documentation. We have added a screenshot of the theme settings page where you can see the dropdown with the categories layout setting.
The rest is as already explained by Peter in the previous posts, to add a Slider in the specified widget zone (again there is a screenshot of how to add a Slider).
You can check the Anywhere Sliders plugin documentation of how to add a slider.

Hi raftech,

Unfortunately this is not possible to be done on your local machine. You can change the colors etc. only from the demo store but you can download the changes you have made to your local machine and apply them. You can refer to this video of how to generate a color preset from the demo store and then save it on your local machine.

Not really as you still have 2 separate requests. One to load the whole page with all the products and another one that returns a partial view with the filtered products.
Let me explain again assuming you have hacked the javascript.
1. Open store.com/category/friendlyurl in your browser.
2. The whole page loads as it is store.com/category
3. Another request is made to get the filtered products based on friendlyurl.

Now lets say you have 2 links in the menu:
store.com/category/friendlyurl1 and store.com/category/friendlyurl2

Both of them will load the same category page, so for google they are actually the same links as they open the exact same page with the exact same markup (same products).

What you are trying to do is the following:
When you open store.com/category/friendlyurl1 then the markup that the server return should contain already filtered products.
When you open store.com/category/friendlyurl2 then the markup returned by the server should contain another set of filtered products.
This way google can index these 2 pages as if they are 2 different ones.
But this is not possible with the current architecture of the Ajax Filters.
We need to completely rewrite the backend and the frontend of the Ajax Filters to support what you want.

I hope it is clear now!

To add to Iliyan's answer:

It is not just a matter of having access to the dll files.

Actually if you open this link in your browser "www.yourstore.com/some_category_name#/specFilters=14m!#-!436" you will not be able to get this part "#/specFilters=14m!#-!436" on the server as it is not transferred to the server at all.

The way the Ajax Filters plugin works is also important here.

The Ajax Filters are loaded via Ajax and they are not directly accessible via a URL.
The links that you have are not direct links to a specific controller's action and that is why they can't be accessed via the regular SEO Slugs in nopCommerce.

Let me illustrate this with an example. Let's say you open this link "www.yourstore.com/some_category_name#/specFilters=14m!#-!436".

1. This actually opens the some_category_name in nopCommerce.

2. When the page loads in the browser the javascript of the Ajax Filters sees that there is some hash code #/specFilters=14m!#-!436 and makes a new request via Ajax to simulate the clicking of these specification filters by the client.

So the page loads with all the products in that category and then an ajax called is made to filter them. So it doesn't make sense to make this URLs to be SEO friendly as this pages never get accessed by the search engines.

I hope this makes sense!
