Theme conversion from Flexform to Cardinal Issue

[graf007]

Everything seemed to go OK with the instructions for find replace that you give us except for the buttons.

Any idea what we can do to resolve this. Buttons are throughout the site, but the easiest way to see what we mean is on the home page.

Hi,

Do you refer to these buttons?

Those buttons were genterated from flexform shortcodes. I need that brought over to cardinal. Login and check!

Those shortcodes are a bit different(the parameters), unfortunately, you need to recreate them by hand. It’s faster that way.

Is that SUPPORT!!?

I told you my opinion about it, it’s faster to remake those buttons by hand.
If there isn’t a viable solution by code what you expect from us? If there was an easy solution we would provide.

p.s- Didn’t appreciate your comment, you have 134 replies in our support so I guess you already know our work.

Well, if that was easy we had made that. I Was thinking that was only those buttons in the homepage.
Will forward to Ed to see if there is anything he can do.

I’d like clarify further as your button code is slightly different.

The Flexform button for shortcodes looks like this, which you are correctly using:

[button colour="accent" type="standard" size="small" link="http://" target="_blank"]Button text[/button]

`Our standard HTML output looks like this:

<a class="sf-button small accent standard " href="http://" target="_blank"><span>Button text</span></a>

However, your HTML output looks like this:

<a class="dobdev-red-button" href="http://www.fecca.com/how-to-join/" data-userway-font-size="14">Button</a>

Q: Have these buttons been customised by youselves? The HTML does not originate from our framework.

I have looged into your site now and copied your content to my local dev site. If I search and replace [button for [sf_button and /button] for /sf_button] the buttons do display. However as the paramters are slightly different, values such as the color are not adhered to. Though, this could be resolved by also using the search and replace to change that value.

Hopefully this helps you further, we are happy to assist you in sorting this.

Thanks,
David
