Add Google Maps to Zen Cart contact page (easier method)

Bookmark and Share

A guide on adding Google Maps to the Zen Cart contact page was already posted on August 4, 2009. That earlier guide requires the modification of TWO template files.

Today’s guide will provide you with the steps to achieve the same result, but requires you to edit only ONE template file.

The only file involved is tpl_contact_us_default.php.

How to manage product images with Zen Cart

Bookmark and Share

Zen Cart displays images in 3 sizes for each product:

  1. Small - Thumbnail images displayed on the home page and product listing pages.
  2. Medium - Displayed on the individual Product Info page.
  3. Large - Your normal image which is accessed by clicking the ‘larger image’ link on the Product Info page.

There are a few ways to upload and manage your product images. The simplest is by using the admin panel to create your product and upload your image from there — Admin > Catalog > Categories/Products.

You just use the admin to upload one large image and Zen Cart will have the browser display the various sizes for your image — the small thumbnail, the medium size image and the normal large size.

But remember, if you do it this way, all the images displayed (small, medium, large) are actually the same LARGE image. After the image is sent to the user’s browser, it will be rescaled by the browser. This actually will make your site load slower as all thumbnails are actually large images being rescaled at the client side. Also, your thumbnails may look distorted and have jagged edges.

Zen Cart 1.3.9e released and available for download

Bookmark and Share

Zen Cart 1.3.9e is now available for download from Zen-Cart.com.

As with version 1.3.9d, this new release is also mainly for bug fixes and some improvements.

Our premium templates and free templates on this site are 100% compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.9e, 1.3.9d, 1.3.9c, 1.3.9b, 1.3.9a and 1.3.8.

We’ve checked ALL the files in our templates and compared them to the original Zen Cart 1.3.9e templates files, to make sure our files are 100% compatible. Whatever files found to be incompatible were updated.

NOTES:
Templates designed for Zen Cart 1.3.8 (or even up to 1.3.9d) may seem to work for Zen Cart 1.3.9e, but some files may have already been updated in Zen Cart 1.3.9e — so there may be problems or security issues.

Some template sellers(affiliates/resellers) may claim the templates on-sale are compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.9, but that may not be the case, as affiliates/resellers may not have access to the original template files. Please check with the original source/creator.

And here’s a recap from our previous post:
Templates designed for Zen Cart 1.3.8 may seem to work for Zen Cart 1.3.9, but some files may have already been updated in Zen Cart 1.3.9 — so there may be problems or security issues.

Some template sellers(affiliates/resellers) may claim the templates on-sale are compatible with Zen Cart 1.3.9, but that may not be the case, as affiliates/resellers may not have access to the original template files. Please check with the original source/creator.
