Update: minor fix and a new feature

by David Colquhoun on April 15, 2012

Just uploaded a new version of the Awesome Theme. 

Added an option to the settings window so you can choose if the homepage slideshow images open links in the same window or a new window.  

And fixed a bug where the main menu drop downs were not showing above the homepage slideshow.

Update: Thai Baht and a tiny tags fix

by David Colquhoun on February 23, 2012

Today I've added Thai Baht to the list of currencies and fixed a bug on product pages, where tag links with spaces in the tag names were breaking. 

You can either update your whole theme, or just apply the fixes described here.

Update: fixed a facebook bug

by David Colquhoun on February 09, 2012

Thank you HEAPS to Sam for finding this bug, its another complicated one that only shows up sometimes.

In certain circumstances, when you click the Facebook like button, Facebook shows the "no-image" image, instead of an image for you store.

Update: fixed image cropping bug on the product page

by David Colquhoun on February 08, 2012

Just updated the theme with a small fix to the product page.  If you had the magnify widget set to fitted inner cropping,  only the first image that loads would be fitted inner.   Clicking on the thumbnails would show you a fitted outer image. 

If you want to fix just this bug, and not update the whole theme...

in the Shopify admin,  Themes > Template Editor ...
click on "product.liquid" in the left side menu,
then scroll down to around line 75,
and find the line that looks like this:
    sFittedStyle:'{{ zoomy_fitted_style }}' // outer or inner
and change it to be:
    sFittedStyle:'{{ settings.zoomy_fitted_style }}' // outer or inner

Thanks!

Update: SEO features and small fixes.

by David Colquhoun on January 24, 2012

 Added two new SEO features to the theme today.   

It now uses the new shop description field, found in General Settings.

And it now uses the image ALT text, which you can enter for each product image.

Read more about these new shopify features on the official blog here:

Another small change to the product pages.  With the products that have only one variation... I've added the name of the variation just below the price.  If the product variation title text is "Default Title", then it doesn't show up.

And again, I've fixed the footer so the i-beams stay where they should, in between the links.

 

Thanks!

Update: 3 or 4 columns of products.

by David Colquhoun on January 12, 2012

Thankyou Antonia for this suggesting this feature!

I've added two new options in the theme settings.  You can now have 2, 3 or 4 columns of products on the home page, product collections, search results and other pages.

Also you can now choose how many products per page are shown; 12, 24, 36 or 48.  







Update: Bug fixes and LOTS more sidebar link lists

by David Colquhoun on January 05, 2012

I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years, I sure did! 

Have just updated the theme with a few fixes and changes.

The sidebar can now have a a ridiculous number of link lists, TWENTY! Previously it was set to 5.  This change should help people with large numbers of products and collections.

Fixed an extra | showing up in the footer under some circumstances.

Darkened the full price text from #CCCCCC to #999999 to make it easier to read.

IMPORTANT:  Updated jQuery to fix a bug that caused errors in some versions of Internet Explorer, in specific situations.  If you just want to fix that one issue.... replace the contents of "jquery.js" with the contents of this file.

Thank you to everyone who's purchased the Awesome Theme :)
