Hello:
On the account create page, each of the asterisks for the required fields are under each of the fields and there is a lot of space between the fields. What should be a short page is a long one. I went to the account_create.php file but not sure what to do from there. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Zen Cart 1.3.8a Patch: 1:: Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
Thanks!
Oh. my. It looks like you're running Zencart as a Joomla component for some reason. The area which contains the astersik is inside at least 14 nested <div>s and you have 17 stylesheets.
The class for the asterisk span is 'alert', but that class is used for other things, too, so tracking it down may be a chore.
I wouldn't be doing my job here if I didn't recommend another course of action:
You don't have a lot of products entered yet, and you're still using the less-secure version 1.3.8. I'd suggest you start over with a fresh 1.3.9h installation, get rid of the Joomla stuff and just use Zencart for your store. Much easier to diagnose issues like this.
Thank you very much for the response and the suggestions. I will look into making those changes that you have recommended.
In the meantime, where would be a good place to start my search and what exactly am I looking for in order to correct this account create issue?
Thanks again!
I'd suggest the first place to visit is post #2 of this thread.
You have created a beast that will only consume you in the long run. The time spent re-qrouping will be FAR less than the time necessary to dispatch the beast.
Most of us have been in a similar situation and can tell you from experience....
- Startover
- Read the files in the docs directory
- Read the tutorials on override and use a custom template (not one purchased)
Understand that Zen Cart is like a Hemi engine. There's one in my truck and one in the charger, but neither vehicle looks anywhere near the other. You are trying to run a diesel (Joomla) with a hemi in the trunk. Ain't gonna happen without a :censored: load of adapter kits.
Try adding this to the bottom of typography.css:
span.alert {display:inline;}
No way to know what effect that will have on the rest of the site, though.
This is the problem with having so many stylesheets, many of which use identical classes or ids to control different elements.
Even if you don't accept my other suggestions, you'll want to upgrade to version 1.3.9h ASAP for security reasons.
My first Zencart site was built for a coffee company, and I think coffee is ideally suited for Internet sales - I wish you luck with the store.
