As with all new templates, you need to reconfigure the sidebox setup on a per-template basis. After changing to TruBlu, goto TOOLS->LAYOUT BOXES CONTROLLER and re-enable all the boxes you want.

I'm learning to use zencart, but still have trouble with the ccs files.

Tru-Blu is great, but I would like to change the double spacing in the catagories box to single space. Can you tell me how I go about changing the spacing?

Edit the stylesheet_betterCategories.css file and change:

 DIV.betterCategories A, DIV.betterCategories A:visited {
  display: block;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-top: 2px solid #ffffff;
  padding: 4px;
}

to

 DIV.betterCategories A, DIV.betterCategories A:visited {
  display: block;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-top: 2px solid #ffffff;
  padding: 2px;
}

Hi qHome,
First off, great template! Well done. I downloaded it last night and it looks great. Now, my following questions are based on what I see in the zen templates site http://(sorry, site offline)/137/index.php

I don't understand what "better categories" are. Is that the rollover effects I get on the categories sidebox?
I love the product listing with colored background for every second product. How can I get this look?
Lastly, your site above seems to have nice arrow images next to each top level category but that didn't appear when I installed it. How do I get these?

Thanks very much for your template and time.

Yes Better Categories is another contrib from an older version of Zen-cart that i've modified slightly and included to work with the current version. Product Listing stuff is the same default zen-cart stuff, I didnt change that. I think its shown as:

productListing-even
productListing-odd

Simply add those params to the CSS with the background color of your choice and that should work.

The Arrows I think are on menu links that have sub categories only. It came with BetterCategories I think.

Hi Qhome,

I am addapting your great template to be used as 'normal' web site with no shopping cart functions. www.slsnorthcoast.com .

I was wondering how to edit the blue menu bar that goes across the page at the top? I would like to keep its function but remove "shopping cart", "My account" and "Log in". Although I may have a use for "Log in" later and may wish to reenable it at a latter date.

Thanks

The actual words are in the languages file. The code that calls those words is in the templates/trublu/common/tpl_header.php
