Are you planning more?

The free templates are an ongoing project of mine. I hope to release many more :smile:

I'm already testing on http://www.prom-mart.com/ and may bring over to main site.

One thing: I disabled the twitter & facebook pic url's in footer (leaving the pics), as I don't yet have any. But in this case, even taking out all the url, when place cursor over pic url shows mysite/blingthemes. Then goes to zc's page not found.

Problem?

Didn't do that on all business template.

---

That is really weird since I do not have "blingthemes" anywhere in the template code? If you want to disable these links you should go to:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apparel_boutique/footer_menu_defines.php and take out what is between the single quotes for the define twitter and facebook statements:

Code:

---


define('TWITTER', '');
define('FACEBOOK','');

---

Hi, that's what I did:

define('TWITTER', '');
define('FACEBOOK','');

But it still went to blingthemes.

In fact, I just uploaded your original with your twitter/facebook urls and it still shows blingthemes. Even in another browser Firefox.

I know you don't have blingthemes anywhere, but I tested their Estorenow template not long ago. Somehow, somewhere, I'm kinda cross-overed? Looks like I cannot even put my url when I get one.

Unless some browser cache thing...?

I still have some estorenow files on server from testing, I probably should delete those and all templates I'm no longer interested in.

Steve

Fixed. It was a dangling general Estorenow file in includes/extra_configures file.

Anne, I'm pretty certain I'll be using this new nice template on main site.

Just ran it through validator: http://validator.w3.org/

Homepage and category pages come up Green OK.

Only one red error on Product pages, apparently with the new social stuff:

http://www.prom-mart.com/alyce-desig...alyce-8886-p-1

Line 321, Column 60: there is no attribute "fb:like:layout"
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>

Assume not a big issue so I'm going to work on a nice new logo...the most important and IMO usually only appearance mod one should need with such nice templates coming out*.

Very nice work!

Steve

* Well, I am toying with an Orange add to cart button from another template....

i did see this, but since it is facebook's code I can;t fix it without removing the like button :( If anyone has a fix I would love to hear it.

How did you add Key Features?

How did you add Key Features?

This is the demo store data that comes with the zen cart installation. I did not add this, just selected "yes" when asked during the installation process if I wanted to install the demo store products.

Thanks...just trying to figure out how to do the same by adding Key Features. Not sure how to do it. Just wondering if they might be attributes.

Looks to me like they made it in the description area, using bullets. And View Source confirms it.

Your site is looking great!

I love your template. It is probably the best looking free-template i have seen :clap:

is it possible to change this websites width ?

Excuse my stupidity, i am just coming from the stone age and am trying to learn how to make the website that i really want and seeing this website, i want this site`on with a few customizations.

is it possible to change this websites width ?
I am sure you can change the color of the upper menu bar and add a flyout menu,which i'm trying to figure out in the coming time, but can you increase the width too? is there a reason all sites are a bit narrow?

Thanks for the template, again i love it

If I might chime in, having gone through this process fixed width vs fluid or 100% width. There are two schools of thought.

100%/fluid width tends to adjust better to various monitor resolution settings. The problem is that with newer monitors (higher resolution) it can create alot of white space and start not looking as nice. I believe that kmart and amazon are examples of fuller width. (Although with their talent pool can probably get around drawbacks.)

Fixed width is somewhat easier to design for, as you can put in a photo and pretty much know how it will look. Most templates are by-passing the old 800x600 resolution, and those will have a horizontal scroll bar. All templates should look good in say 1024x678 and up. To a point. At very high resolution it can start looking skinny. Walmart used to be this way, and I think the default zen cart is this way: template set at about 750px width in stylesheet.

Most sites are now set about 950px or so in stylesheet (per our seo guy) which overall tends to look best in various monitor resolutions and gives good control of layout design. Target, Macy's & Bestbuy are some that should be about our width.

If your's looks especially narrow then you probably have a high resolution monitor?

If you try to "fix" your site at a larger width, say 1000px or more, you will have a problem with horizontal scroll bars in many monitors.

In short, yes there is a reason for this size. But your call as to what school to follow.

PS: Some sites try for optical illusion, having width about our size for most of site, but having header area full width, to cut down on whitespace and narrow impression. The ic-athmeme (?) zc template which I've used does this.

Steve--Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a well thought out post. I agree 100% and could not have said it better :smile:

thanyou sph. It was indeed very clear. But i would think this problem is just about solved in many developed countries, since almost all people have a decent monitor.........then again i could be wrong since i am just starting to understand these things :blush:

You're welcome. Last night when I wrote this I did it on my laptop which is I think 1024x768 resolution. My site template filled up the monitor nicely, as the 950px stylesheet width will at this resolution.

Now, back on my desktop at 1680x1050 resolution, my site definitely has whitespace on each side. But not horribly narrow...perhaps your monitor resolution is even higher.

1024x768 is still a very popular resolution. Perhaps in a few years it will go the way of 800x600 and less templates will be designed for it (so no horizontal scroll bar.)

You should be able to change your monitor resolution, you might try it to see how your site changes.

I just wanted to post that the template has been approved and is available for download in the Free Software Add Ons section :smile:

wow sph, i tried it with different resolutions and there is a big difference. Though the sites which normally fill my screen were still filling my screen at low resolution but didnt look as appealing.

Lol thanks for enlighting me. I feel like a child again, discovering new things in a unknown world. :P

Picaflor,I feel like i am a asking annoying questions, but what did you start with to make this template? i mean did you get the classic 1.3.? and changed it into this template, or a random other template or........

Yes, it seems that (and depending upon resolution/monitor) our choices are fixed width with the possibility of whitespace along the sides, or 100%/fluid width with the possibility of whitespace WITHIN our site, with things becoming spread out.

For the free templates I always start from scratch, or from another one of my free template packages.

Anne, today I switched to having subcategories and also learned how to keep the subcats always open if I choose.

http://www.prommart.com/

Precious Formals category.

How do I remove the arrow so that the top category Precious Formals is to the left?

Thanks.

Thanks! But I've been googling and reading that for seo perhaps it's better to have subcats closed!

I just posted an update to the template package. Hopefully it will be approved and available for download soon!

11/17/2010-------Moved about_us_filenames.php to correct directory, fixed ie6 and ie7 spacing bug with prev, listing, next on product info page.

Hi I like your template so much!
I got a problem here and I have been trying to fix this for a week.. Can you help?

In my sidebox, my About Us link is wrongly pointing to an invalid site: /index.php?main_page=FILENAME_ABOUT_US

It should be: /index.php?main_page=about_us
Thus, it's going to Page Not Found page.

I have manually going to /index.php?main_page=about_us and this page exists.

How can I correct this? I have been trying to fix this but I couldn't find a solution.. :blush:

This is something that I fixed in the update that is pending approval. You need to move the file about_us_filenames.php from includes/extra_definitions to includes/extra_datafiles.

Thank you for a great template. All is working great except for when one clicks on "Home" tab it brings us to a page that gives us the following:

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

How do we fix this? Our store is not in the root directory but is a subfolder.

Thank you again.

Post a link to your site so that I can take a look. This is not a problem with the template, but may be a problem with your store configuration.

Sorry the link is www.markets-edge.net/solidus/index.php

Another question I have is how do I remove the "facebook like" and "tweet" logos in the add to cart box when you view an individual procuct.

Thank you

This is happening because of how you have something configured on your server. Your server is not set up to find a default document i.e. index.php. It has nothing to do with the template.

Remove this code in the includes/templates/apparel_boutique/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

Thank you that worked. Any suggestions on the first question. Can I force the link within the code?

Any status as to the availability of the update? I have a customer eager for me to fix their site! Thanks.

Hello.

Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with us! These templates you've created are really modern and beautiful.

I have downloaded the all business template and would like to try this new one as well.

I am new but learning. May I ask what the name of the add-on in your templates which allows a customer to choose style options for a product? All the templates I've ever tried do not come with this option.

Thanks so much.

You need to follow the instructions I posted. I looked at your source code and you don't have any of the boxes turned on.

Love the template, thank you. I think I have found how to fix all of the problems I am having EXCEPT:

Why my footer is messed up... Am I missing files?
And WHERE do I put the 'about_us' page. Can it be defined in the page editor?

I really appreciate any help you can offer, THANK YOU.

Regarding this part of the instructions:

10. Add "Important Links" to footer menu
========================================

In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Tools" then "EZ-Pages"

Create a new file or select an already created page.

Make sure that Footer "Yes" is checked and "Order:" is designated.

The first 5 pages marked for the footer will show in the footer menu.

When I do this, I still get "QUICKLINKSINFORMATIONCUSTOMER_SERVICEIMPORTANTIMPORTANT_END" Across the bottom of the page. Am I missing a file/definition, on not properly understanding the directions? Thank you for any help you can offer,

Hello, Love this template. Clean and simple.
I'm learning how to do this stuff, so please bare with me.
I need help with my side bar. The font is large and I would like it smaller, how do I fix this. And also, at the top the menu bar how can I add a link to my blog? Thank you for your help.
Judy
www.ubstampin.com/store

Judy,

Your font size looks fine to me. Perhaps you have it set large in your browser?

I would not recommend adding any links to the top navigation as when someone logs in additional links will appear and there will not be enough space.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi, i just updated your template in my zen cart. I realize my product listing is not working properly.

Example:
================================
Top
Filter Results by: Items starting with ... A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Displaying 1 to 10 (of 19 products) 1 2 [Next >>]

<<<This is empty. No listing at all>>>

Displaying 1 to 10 (of 19 products) 1 2 [Next >>]
================================

I dont quite sure what is going on as there is no listing of my products in my page at all. I tried to switch to the classic green zen cart template but it's working okay. Can you help me? :(

This means that you already had this module installed in your cart. Delete the module files that you uploaded (assuming that you have properly used the override system) and all should work again since the classic template is working.

Thanks,

The module files are removed (I actually renamed from product_listing.php to Xproduct_listing.php etc). Here's the latest report from /cache folder:

Yen_JS----This is an error from the admin that you are getting. This error is telling you that there is an error in your admin/functions file.

It is not correct to rename the files to Xanything. This is probably what is causing your problems with the product listing. You should remove both the files you remaned as Xproduct_listing.php and product_listing.php and the tpl_modules_product_listing.php and whatever you renamed that file to.

Now would be a good time to restore your backup.


And, I would definitely recommend that you rename your admin folder since it has been posted on the forum :wink:

Thanks,

Anne

Oh my God. I'm gonna faint if this does not work. I had doubt if I could have ruined my system if 2 files were totally removed. It's my fault for not believing in you. What was I been thinking? You're an expert!! Excellent tutorial!! Thank you Anne!! It's 3.25am in Malaysia and I shall sleep in peace. Phew :):):)

PS: Oh yes, time for back up and renaming admin!! *double thumbs up*

Hi Anne,

Is it possible to have the images for the 'slide show' come from the default images folder? I have a user who can't use FTP, and I have them uploading with ImageHandler2 for placing products/changing graphics. Thank you for any help you can offer, I love the template.

What version of zen cart are you using?

Thanks,

Anne

I'm using the dreaded Go Daddy hosting and of course I'm having difficulty making this template register on my site. The fact that I'm completely new at this, I'm sure doesn't help either.
What am I supposed to be doing to make it work correctly. I followed the directions and tried to upload it in the file manager. Still nothing, can you fill me in on a step that I am probably missing or not doing right.

Nevermind, I've got it working now. Just took a little bit of a learning curve.

Thanks for the template. It's a great help.

A simple search of the forum will find the answers to these questions. I don't mind helping out if someone has a template specific question, but if all it takes is a search on the forum, why should I take the time to do your customization work for you?

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne, my product listing went empty and you had helped me to solve my problem last week where I had to remove the product_listing.php from modules/Apparel_Boutique folder.

I notice your new update of this template has been installed with Column Divider Pro. Since removing product_listing.php from modules/Apparel_Boutique , the product listing went back as Row listing. Any advise if I want to fix this back as Colum Divider Pro? I've tried to fix this default file (product_listing.php) at includes/modules but it does not seem to work at all.

The module that puts the product listing into columns is the Column Layout Grid.

Hello,

I am wondering how to remove the big blue rectangle on the right of the site http://ulolita.com/.

Thanks.

Sorry I got it fixed =].

Hello,

With further editing to the site I've come across a problem with having more than 1 picture for 1 product.

http://ulolita.com/index.php?main_pa...&products_id=2

I've looked at the tutorial of how to add additional pictures but is there a way to move the additional image next to the product picture?

Thanks.

This is not a problem with the template--it is the default behaviour of the zen cart product info page. You can move things around by editing the tpl_product_info_display.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi, thanks for your beautiful apparel_boutique template!! It's just beautiful, clean, and perfect!!

My question regards the slide show that is to appear on the home page. I've uploaded my images to the /includes/templates/apparel_boutique/images folder. For simplicity sake, I named my images to match what you had already defined in the 'define_main_page.php' page, i.e., slide1.jpg, slide2.jpg, etc. All images are the same height and width as you had defined as well.

Next, I defined the URLs in the 'define_main_page.php' to be 'www.mysite.com/catalogfolder' (not the actual "live" path, but didn't want to post that on here), but that's the path example.

Saved all, refreshed the site in my browser, but the slide show still doesn't appear. The only thing I've done differently that your instructions, were I just uploaded only two images to test the slide show out, before creating the actual images I'll use 'live.'

Any assistance you can provide is much appreciated. I'm sure I'm overlooking some minor detail.

I will be a financial contributor to your cause! Your work is excellent.

Thanks,

Ken

Please post a link to your site so that I can take a look.

I always appreciate any donation if you feel that the template has been useful :smile:

I'm actually having a very similar problem except that I didn't rename any files. This occured on 12/15 from what I can see:

[21-Dec-2010 10:29:56] PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() [<a href='function.htmlspecialchars'>function.htmlspecialchars</a>]: charset `CHARSET' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in /general.php on line 40

I have a similar posting here as well that goes into details - my admin category counts differ from what is seen in the online shop. I've found the descrepances and no matter what - if I delete or even add new items - the counters are not being updated but the db entries are. I'm confused and don't why this is happening.

The error message you have posted has nothing to do with the template package. You can do a search for your error to see if you can find help. The error is not related to the template since the /general.php file was not touched or included in the template package.

hello, would you mind sharing which font you used on the logo?

Thanks, I appreciate your willingness to help. The link to the site is completeclassicpress.com/cat3. The site isn't live yet (I don't have the actual domain names pointing to it yet), but you can access it from that link. Site is still a work in progress, so product images are just place holders, so please don't judge :)

Hi Anne:

Here's the contents of define_main_page.php, however, it's not located in the includes/languages/english/apparel_boutigue/html_includes folder, as there is no html_includes folder in the apparel_boutique folder. This define_main_page.php file is found in includes/languages/english/html_includes

Could be part of the problem, eh?
