Is there any way to adjust the display of the New and Featured products in a 3 column per row grid?
The Special and All products are displaying fine in a 3 column grid.
Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to install a separate module called SNAF.

Thanks,

Hi Anne

I have spoken to my hosting company. This is what they have told me ...

Thank you for contacting 123-reg on the 6th July 2012.

Unfortunately the httpd.conf and php.ini files are not available for editing, therefore the option you were suggested will not work.

Also, I have tested, again as suggested, to disable the two .htacess files in question, however this has not changed the website functionality in any way, nor has it allowed the .css scripts to properly load.

I suggest you try to change all your cache and theme files and folders to permissions 755 as I fear that this is causing the scripts to not run.

I have tried changing the folder permissions but still the css file dosnt work.....

If you have any other suggestions please dont hesitate to let me know....

Thanks

Paul

Who is your web host? I have never had any problems with the stylesheet loading on the recommended hosts for zen cart.

Thanks,

Anne

First of THANK YOU
Great looking template and great "read-me" which is proving most helpful

I have a question which probably seems very easy to most but I very new to this so bear with me,
The drop down menus across the page are great but, I have a huge list of "manufacturers" and quickly growing list of "categories" and would like to split them up like in the "Information" menu you, any chance of a step by step guide on how to do this please ?

Hi Anne

I have got the site working but i realised there is a slight issue.

When you have a look at the home page the slide show is not aligned with the rest of the structure of the home page.

If you have a look at the two sites i have below the slide box seems to 'off' centre.

www.glamgems.co.uk & www.tempted2.net/TEST/

Can you tell me how i can fix this issue please?

I have tried going into the define page editor of the shop but that just causes more problems as the images then disapear andyou only get a place holder moving from right to left etc....

Thanks

Paul

No, I am sorry but I don't have a guide for this. It will take playing around with the php code.

Thanks,

I believe that any alignment issues will be fixed if you follow the recommended admin settings for the templat in the readme.html file.

Thanks,

You have not followed the recommended admin settings in the readme.html. For example, the recommended setting for "Column Width - Left Boxes" is 180 px. Your site is showing 150px.

Thanks,
