Hi @Ekaterina Sayapina ,

When you select a product variation on mobile [product page], the main image doesn't change... It does not show the variation you are selecting like in all the other themes. But it works normal on desktop:

1. The variation image bug has already been fixed.

One other thing I would like to add is the gallery picture doesnt seem to change when a variation is selected on a mobile device. It wourks well in the desktop.

Please just double check this feature before release because still not working.

Many thanks for your work!

2. In the description tab I don't want it open auto, how can I do?

Hi

[Ekaterina Sayapina]

The looks awesome, I will try it and let you know my findings on it; However, instead of half-page slider on top of the page is it possible to change the size to full screen.

@Ekaterina Sayapina How do I remove "ads" on the shipping tracking page?

 

[Fassbender]

You cant. It comes with 17track.

What you can do is redirect the tracking page to a parcel tracking service of your choice. In my case, I've redirected it to Parcelsapp

We've decided to make such changes not only to extend functionality of the add-on, but also to make sure your pixels fire correctly and you can get support if necessary.

Hi @Ekaterina Sayapina ,

So with this theme we won't be able to add our FB pixel there unless we buy the FB business addon? Is that correct?


There is no need to add a custom icon field. Just make the custom text field html ready and add there a default code with the icon at the left if you want to show that. This way will be easier for us to just delete that icon, or add anything we like in there.


Please add the option to create more elements like "Will be shipped in 3-5 days" there. This way we can also play with different texts based on our products.


Please add the option to create more elements like "Will be shipped in 3-5 days" there, and make the "GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT" customizable.

It seems that this problem is still not solved: https://forum.alidropship.com/threads/the-raphael-theme-beta.6837/post-40258
And if you wonder how many people use this screen resolution [1366*768]... its about 16.83% of the desktop traffic in the United States... source: http://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution-stats/desktop/united-states-of-america


Please add the option to create more elements here [credit cards]. It used to display 6 cards [payment methods]. So the Maestro and Discover cards and missing [PayPal methods]


The theme is loading a non existent CSS file [404]. Maybe it was deleted in the latest version of the theme.

You can set up pixel events in your FB account and add the entire pixel code to the website header.

Thanks for your input. We'll take it into consideration when we'll get down to the next theme.

This is not a bug. Gallery images get hidden when you scroll down so you can see main product picture better. Just scroll up if you want to take another look at them.

make the "GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT" customizable.

We'll make them customizable in the near future.

Please add the option to create more elements here [credit cards]. It used to display 6 cards [payment methods]. So the Maestro and Discover cards and missing [PayPal methods]

As a rule, website owners have only one or two payment gateways connected to their store. So, there's no particular need to have a great number of payment icons in the footer section.

Thanks for letting us know!

You can set up pixel events in your FB account and add the entire pixel code to the website header.

Sure, I know I can create custom events. But I can not add dynamic values like product name, price, currency, ID ... or delays in the pixel loading time, etc without modifying the JS code myself. That is basically the problem.

But the question refers to this particular theme. It means that this theme will not be like the previous ones. And if we want the same functionality [FB pixel events] we will need to buy the FB business addon.

Will this be the same for the other themes too?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the idea, I know that the add-on has more events and functions that ultimately improve things.

We already talked about this before here:
https://forum.alidropship.com/threads/the-raphael-theme-beta.6837/post-40258

And the reason it's a problem is because people with that particular screen size [1366 * 768] will never be able to see the thumbnails, since these will be hidden before the person scrolls down. And this affects 16.83% of all desktop traffic in the United States alone.

That is why we need to add more elements there look:

PayPal itself allows more than 4 payments methods. In my account i also have Maestro. And according to PayPal they accept:
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diner's Club and EnRoute.

You already added 6 payment methods below the ADD TO CART button


But you only show 4 in the footer
