No. This I am building on official 2.3.4.1. it will have all the functionality and features of that version, many of which were stripped out in the CEs.

If anybody wants to have a look and share their thoughts, above is the download link. It's only a start for now.

Some more pics of the styling of W3.CSS

The package will install onto a php8 environment.

I use Bootstrap 5 for the responsive grid because it is superior to the grid of W3.CSS

In template_top.php you will find:

		<div id="bodyContent" class="col-md-<?php echo $oscTemplate->getGridContentWidth(); ?> order-first order-md-2">

In template_bottom.php you will find:

<?php
  if ($oscTemplate->hasBlocks('boxes_column_left')) {
?>

<div id="columnLeft" class="col-md-<?php echo $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth(); ?>">	
  <?php echo $oscTemplate->getBlocks('boxes_column_left'); ?>
</div>

<?php
  }

  if ($oscTemplate->hasBlocks('boxes_column_right')) {
?>

<div id="columnRight" class="col-md-<?php echo $oscTemplate->getGridColumnWidth(); ?> order-last">
  <?php echo $oscTemplate->getBlocks('boxes_column_right'); ?>
</div>

<?php
  }
?>

Then in includes/classes/osc_template.php:

var $_grid_content_width = 6;

and

    function getGridColumnWidth() {
      return 3;
    }

These settings control the project layout. No changes to the database are made. I imagine that the way it is setup now would suit most installations. In Admin, you can still turn on/off boxes, or move them left/right. By doing so you could have a 1,2 or 3 column layout without having to edit code.

If anyone has installed the package from when I have made it available, i have updated it with some progress. You should be able to overwrite the files (minus the configure and htaccess files) to see the changes.

W3.CSS is easy to learn, easier than Bootstrap. And easier to theme with.

Go to:

https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/w3css_color_themes.asp

for a list of pre-defined colour schemes.

By adding 1 line of code to template_top.php with your chosen scheme, you now have a new look to the site.

product listing complete.

 

[Hotclutch 205]

pagination complete.

 

[Hotclutch 205]

Made some edits to the english language file to achieve this. Anybody using another language pack can / will have to do the same.

#define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_PREV', '[<< Prev]');
#define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_NEXT', '[Next >>]');
define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_PREV', '«');
define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_NEXT', '»');

Alerts have been completed.

Now we put an overlaying sidebar. Put whatever you want in there. This code won't be added to the package.

The guidance for the Sidebar is here:

Modal complete.

The theme is now nearly complete. I think I have done enough to make this usable on php7.4; Cannot be used on php8 yet.

[Hotclutch 205]

Product Page Layout adjusted.

 

[Hotclutch 205]

Product Tabs are easy to implement.
