Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

Greetings All,
First off, thank you Anne for the fantastic template. I am trying to modify (with a horrible outcome) the "Shop by Brand" selection on the top of the page. I have no need for that particular button on our site and wanted to re-purpose it to be a simple help popup for customers with questions on how to select product options. I simply don't possess the right knowledge to make it format properly. Any code help would be appreciated. I would love for it to look and behave just like the "About Us" button. The button in question has been renamed to "E-Liquid Options Help"

See the readme for how to easily hide the manufacturers option.

See the pure css menu tutorial that this menu is based on for more information about customization:

Trying to do some testing on my new site. If I enter any credit card info, trying to get an error, when I click Confirm My Order, it takes me back to Step 2 Payment Information. No error is displayed.

Is there a setting or something I'm missing?
Maybe a file that didn't get uploaded when I installed the template?

thanks!

The template has nothing in it that would effect the checkout.

Anne, my sister wants to know how to line her additional attributes so the value is not a little higher:

promdressesglobal com/alyce-6495-pageant-gown-p-4275.html

Where is says Skirt Poofy, Neckline Strapless, etc. She doesn't like how its not in line.

Any solution?

Thanks

Steve

Was trying to change the background of the store and tried here:

includes/templates/abbington_mega/css/stylesheet.css

the line
body {margin: 0;font-family: sans-serif, arial, verdana, helvetica;font-size: 62.5%;color: #444;background: #ebecf0 url(../images/bk.jpg) repeat-x center top;}

was changed to
body {margin: 0;font-family: sans-serif, arial, verdana, helvetica;font-size: 62.5%;color: #444;background: #9a1112 url(../images/slide1.jpg) repeat-x center top;}

but it changed nothing

where should we find it ?

You can add this to the bottom of your stylesheet.css file:

.optionName{margin-top:-5px;}

Thanks,

That is the correct place to change the site background. If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Thanks,

Thanks Anne for your support.
I looked at the source code and found that some how stylesheet.copy.css (which was a backup copy of earlier mod )
stylesheet2.css (which was the original backup copy) were also loading, as these were having the old path to the background image i think the changes in the were not showing.
As soon as the name was changed to stylesheet.css.copy and stylesheet2css.copy the problem was solved.

Thanks Anne

Better solution is to NOT keep old stylesheets on your server.. If you feel you MUST keep them, then keep them on your local computer. The ONLY stylesheet you should keep on the server is the one you are currently using..

If you feel that you MUST keep old versions on the server (something I don't recommend, as it's a bad habit to get into and makes your web server a mess) then change the file extension to something like "bakcss" or "xcss" so that the backups aren't auto-loaded..
