Cold Steel Template Support Thread

[Decostyle]

Hi Clyde,

On the layout boxes control, the document_categories.php sidebox is under the cold_steel template and the document_categories on the template default is not found. When I try to have the document_category appear by creating a document_general product, it does not show up on the sidebox.

How do I make this appear? Thanks

just delete this file from your server
includes/modules/sideboxes/cold_steel/document_categories.php

After doing this things should revert to the default handling of this particular sidebox.

Hello again!

Thanks for all your help. I have another question. On the lower left side of the template, the store name and address appears. I would like to change this to something else, a logo of an organization we are part of, and some information about this.

I know I can "fake" the logo by just creating an image file and adding the logo to it however how do I remove the Store address and replace it with some other text or else just disable it all together?

open includes/templates/cold_steel/common/tpl_footer.php

find the following section of code and delete the highlighted portion.

<div id="footerLogo"><address><?php echo nl2br(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS); ?></address>
</div>

Hello Clyde,

I am using the bettercategories file on my documents category and ezpages sidebox.

On firefox it looks fine but on internet explorer, it is looking for the image files that came with it.

I noticed on your version of the categories, all you had was a dot instead of an image and it looks okay on i.e too. Would you please let me know how I can do the same for my documents category and ez pages sidebox? Thanks again for all your help!!

open the file inludes/templates/cold_steel/sideboxes/tpl_document_categories.php

find the following section of code
  	//picking the appropriate pointer image:
  	switch ($categoryType) {
  		case "down":
  			$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_doc_pointer_down.gif');
   			break;
  		case "right":
  			$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_doc_pointer_right.gif');
  			break;
  		default:
  			$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_doc_no_sub.gif');
  	}

And change it as follows:
  	//picking the appropriate pointer image:
  	switch ($categoryType) {
  		case "down":
  			$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_cat_pointer_down.gif');
   			break;
  		case "right":
  			$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_cat_pointer_right.gif');
  			break;
  		default:
  			$pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_cat_no_sub.gif');
  	}

Open the file inludes/templates/cold_steel/sideboxes/tpl_expages.php

find the following section of code:

  $pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_ezpages.gif');

and change it as follows:

  $pointer = zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE_IMAGES . 'bc_cat_no_sub.gif');

Hello Clyde,

We are currently using a GODaddy SSL and their site seal is slow to load. So what happens is everytime, anything is clicked on the main page the whole site reloads without the middle portion showing waiting for the sidebox godaddy seal to load (Btw, I used a banner ad to sidebox for this.) Once it is loaded the main page is shown.

On the other website I made, I prevented this by putting the seal site on the right hand bottom side so the loading flow would go from left sidebox, to mainpage and the right sidebox is last.

Is there a way to manipulate the flow of page load to make the sidebox godaddy seal be last?

Thanks again!! Your expertise is much appreciated!
