Hi guys. I've been operating www.RedlineStands.com as a Zencart site for about a decade now and it's time for an upgrade. The new site we're working on is at www.RedlineStands.com/test6y7 I've got...

I agree Glenn. The problem is that this company is no longer just 1 guy doing a couple grand a month in business. It's extremely rare that I don't spend the entire day on the phone with customers...

My site is www.redlinestands.com and I've decided to make all of my "categories" links on the left in black, plus the sub-category links too. I figured out how to change the "information" links to...

Hey Stevesh, are you for hire for this kind of stuff?

Sadly this did not work. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Making the button more visible is something I've thought of but it's just a bandaid. I really don't have an interest in people creating an account because very few of my customers are return...

Anyone?

I'm finding that too many of my customers get to this page in my checkout process and they don't know what to do. They don't have an account and don't want to create one. To make matters worse they...

I agree that waiting for other's experience with these matters is a good idea, though I thank you for your input.

We've discussed this but I'm told that redirects are not good for your rankings...

I'm running into a very odd issue that I'm hoping others have addressed. I'm in the process of upgrading to the newest version of Zencart. I have the old Simple SEO url module installed and thus...

Can someone please remind me of the location of the stylesheet.css file?

Can someone please tell me where the setting is that removes the "product 1/24" from each product page?

Ok, so I've implemented this to my test site http://examplecart.com/catalog/ and though the button is there and it works the outcome wasn't pretty. It threw everything off on the page. Does anyone...

As per the post found here:

I've got the code shown below:

I'm finding that too often customers are entering their email address improperly into the contact us page and when I go to write them back my email bounces. I know we have a module that fixes this...

I'm trying to create a coupon code and I've set "Define Discount Coupon" to 1 but it still says "not installed" under Gift Certificate/Coupon" in the admin. What am I missing?

Ian...

My contact us page already states, "Please be sure to include the name of the product you are inquiring about." Sadly, few read it. I find that most customers read nothing. They're like little...

That sounds like it would be more successful. Do you know of anyone who is using that mod so I can see it on their site?

I see now. I like that but it doesn't solve the problem of folks clicking the contact us button.

I don't understand. When I went to a product and then clicked the "contact us" link from a product page I never saw that same bit of product info at the top like it shows on your link?

Could I please get a link to your site to see it in action?

I constantly get emails from customers who think I'll magically know which product they are inquiring about. I got the email below moments ago. I need a field on my contact us page that the...

Now that I've got hundreds and hundreds of items on my site I've found that it's often difficult to keep up with turning items back to "active" and back to "in stock" once they are again available to...

Excellent input Glenn. I tried each of those mods and I agree completely that those changes were a "win win" scenario. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Ian

Yeah, I'll try that. The background image has been switched to nothing but a clear gif file. It was the best way I knew to fix it to not showing up.

I tried that and it did exactly what I think the site needed. I've got another question. In one of your past statements it sounded like you were under the impression that my menu was a little...

I tried that and I see exactly what you mean. Man those jitters are serious! Ha! As usual I have no idea what to do to fix that. Please shoot me over a PayPal PM and I'll send you a couple bucks...

For some reason Glenn I just completely missed seeing this post til now. I implemented your thoughts and then a few of mine. I did away with the grey background in the pop up subcat box and went to...

Some of your thoughts I'm "in tune with" and some I'm not. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "listing description being centered." If you look at my real site www.RedlineStands.com you'll notice...

Oh I see now. My old site was like that and I had to create images for each new category and I hated that. I also had good reason to believe not having a text based menu hurt my rankings with...

Ok, I think I've found a set of color combinations that looks good. My last thing to address is this. When you click on a subcat and enter the next page the only thing in the menu that lets you...

Glenn, what did you think of my layout with colors and general look and feel?

I suppose. I haven't seen this type of category in action so I'm not sure what it looks like and if I'll like it or not.

Glenn, please have a look at the site examplecart.com now and let me know what you think. I've played with the spacing and colors a bit but I'm still not convinced that it looks as professional as...

Wow, not sure how I missed that????????

Ok, I'm finally making some headway getting everything dressed appropriately. However, when I hover over a top level category I still have this white space to the left of all my choices in that pop...

I checked my includes/templates/custom/css/stylesheet.css file and searched it for a #categories statement but came up with nothing. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Ok, so that turned on the chcategories sidebox, which now makes sense to me. However, it for some reason created a nice big white block above my menu.

So Glenn, do I now remove the "ch" from the new stylesheet to take the place of the one I deleted? I didn't find anything like that in the readme. On the flip side, if we've changed the name of the...

Btw, I now have 2 css files: stylesheet_chcategories_dressing.css and stylesheet_categories_dressing.css installed on my server, but I get the feeling that isn't right.

Do you recall about where those flyout rules are located in this thread? I've read the readme file a couple times but I never saw anything that appeared to be blatant rules for turning on the flyout...

Hmm.. I'm missing something. I don't have the file ch_categories.php installed because, to my understanding, those three files are only needed if you want all your categories and subcategories to...

Glenn, are you there?

I did learn to remove the // marks to make the statement take effect. I want all of the top level categories to display all the time and the 1st level of subcategories to pop up when the user hovers...

And the saga continues... I've made the last two numbers here 2's but still no subcategories are displaying when hovering with my mouse.

//define('CAT_BOX_ACTIVE_LEVEL', '0|1|2');//hide top cats...

Ahhh crap. I was looking in the wrong file.........

Ok, I've concocted questions. I've installed this mod on examplecart.com and the first thing I wish to do is set the first level of subcats to display. I see in the readme file that I can replace...

Could someone please link me to a site that uses "display images in place of selected category names?" I'd like to see what this looks like........
