Well there is much things to be done, since some features are important to for our case like (filterting by age, category and brand) but... still i think we made a good use of openCart.

So here it: Online Toy Store:
www.igrachki.bg

Here a lsit of changes i've made for this store:
- added a brand field (it's mostly a copy of the manufacturer - with all the admin stuff)
- changed the template with custom one with whole new menu structer ( i've got to diplay the categories, brands, and manufacturers list in it - mega drop downs)
- also i added pages where you can see all the manufacturers and brands with the images you upload from the admin panel
- Also as i told I'll commit my translation to the community since it's base on 1.3.2 and i added some bits for our custom case.

Well if you have some question about what i've done i'll be glad to help.

Howdy,

Really like the changes, I can't read Russian[?] but do read a decent layout, normally I hate top bar drop downs, but your's is fast loading and 'feels' good in the browser. Like the multi-coloured cat modules, gives it a very nice touch.

I have two minor comments, the lower footer bar, some scrolling products would be nice there to fill up some of that white space you have going, for example http://www.igrachki.bg/%D0%95%D0%BA%D1% ... 0%BA%D0%B8 or to increase the item count on the category list page. And A lot of your products have no descriptions :(

Cracking site!

Matt

Code: Select all

It was like that when I found it, honest!

I really, really, really like this site. Ordinarily I have no interest in constant moving graphics (specifically on a home page) but this is so calm and peaceful (and I suppose the colours do help).

Absolutely love it......

I would like to be able to get some of that for me :-)

Tnx for good comments and I'm answering in order:

@moggiex
1. It's Bulgarian language
2. About the footer yeah You're right and I know whites space is a bit much but I'm waiting the designer to think what will put there and how to look
3. Yes almost all products miss description cause we're two people adding products and and we have still around 1000 to add of total of 3000 (then we are going to make second run with detailed description and additional pictures and videos)

@Razil
For the categories, manufacturers, brand firstly you have to get them from the db like:

in controller/header.php

Code: Select all

		//mike edit manufacturers in the header
		$this->load->model('tool/seo_url');
		$this->load->model('catalog/manufacturer');
		 
		$this->data['manufacturers'] = array();
		
		$manufacturers = $this->model_catalog_manufacturer->getManufacturers();

		foreach ($manufacturers as $manufacturer) {
			$this->data['manufacturers'][] = array(
				'manufacturer_id' => $manufacturer['manufacturer_id'],
				'name'            => $manufacturer['name'],
				'href'            => $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite($this->url->http('product/manufacturer&manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturer['manufacturer_id']))
			);
		}
and the just display them in your header.ctp

Code: Select all

foreach ($categories as $cat) { }
So you make your html mark-up to what is proper for your case.

And about the drop downs I used jQuery and this plugin for
better user exp with hover - hoverIntent

Аnalogicly you can make it for categories and so on.

@cmebd
Tell me specific what you need and i'll help you if i can.
About the image slider it's based on this jquery plugin - s3slider

Very very impressive...especially the top navigation.

Do you mind making a post or a contribution on how to make the mega-dropdown for categories and manufacturers? Would be great if you could share it..:-)

It's a gorgeous shop. Well done.

...One thing I do notice, however, is that most of the links are not "safe links." They contain spaces between the characters/words. Safe links would use - or _ between characters/words, rather than spaces.

That's why you get things like %20 when you copy and paste links. It will be very bad in the search engines.

This page link in particular is quite bad: http://www.igrachki.bg/3%20%D0%B4%D0%BE ... ct_id=1205
