Bentley Classic Template Support Thread

ALright.. this is my last post I swear.. (**snickers**)

The slideshow doesn't appear to work in Safari. (I'm using Safari 5.1.7 for PC). I have confirmed that both the site I am working on (http://clientlaserdiscvault(dot)overthehillweb(dot)com/) and the sample site for this template exhibit the same behavior. (first noticed this when doing some minor mobile testing.. the slideshow does not work from my mobile phone, but shrugged it off..) The controller moves, but the slides do not change. Gonna have my client check this on his Mac to see if Safari on the Mac shows the same behavior.

just to let you know on my mac the slideshow doesnt work on your site or the template demo page, numbers indicating which banner should be showing changes but the banner doesnt

hope this helps

2. Look to the coding and styling of the "service" menu for a guide. You need to add the "align_right" to the correct divs in the includes/templates/bentley_classic/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file and add the styles in the mega menu stylesheet.

Thanks Anne...I fixed it.

Take care,

I am happy that you figured it out ;-)

p.s. I noticed on line 7 stylesheet_footer_menu.css that it mentions 4 columns, but I couldn't find the place where to delete the 4th column.

You can delete the column in the includes/templates/bentley_classic/common/tpl_footer_menu.php file. You will also need to adjust the spacing of the other columns in the stylesheet_footer_menu.css file.

I would recommend contacting the author of the slide show code for help with this. You can find the credit link in the readme.html file.

Yes, there are tons of great free jquery slide shows out there ;-)

Thanks,

Finally found some time to play with this nice template on my local playground (server). All straight forward as usual - with one exception:

How can I turn the mega menu for 'shop' and 'brands' from one long column each to say 3 or 4 columns each for a site with heaps of categories and manufacturers?

Your assistance would be most welcome.

Thanks / Frank

Done....

In tpl_mega_menu.php find

Code:

---

  <div class="dropdown_1column">
                <div class="col_1 firstcolumn">

---

and change to

Code:

---

  <div class="dropdown_2columns">
                <div class="col_2 firstcolumn">

---

Never worked with this previously but the tutorial at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ht...rop-down-menu/
was most helpful.

That's great. I am happy that you figured it out and posted your solution here.

Can't work out how to make the black background of level 3 (hover) solid. No matter what I do, the background remains transparent and the links of level 2 are shining through.

Any help is appreciated - thanks.

If you can put it live somewhere just on a test server I can take a look at it using firebug and see if I can help you ;-)

I may be able to help you if you send me the includes/templates/bentley_classic/common/tpl_mega_menu.php and includes/templates/bentley_classic/common/stylesheet_mega_menu.css file. If you email me these files with your changes I might be able to replicate the problem and help you.

Thanks,

To recap:

The Easy Slider slideshow that comes with this template does not work in Safari (Mac and PC) or the default Android browser. (Not sure about iOS, but it's likely iOS would have the same issues) As I indicated previously, by not work I mean that the controller appears to work, but the slides do not change.

So I reached out to the author of the Easy Slider slideshow, and did not receive a response to my request for help. So as I indicated in my previous posts, I moved on to find another slideshow that would be more cross-browser compatible to solve my Safari issues and mobile issues. I settled on the Nivo Slider. It uses a newer JQuery Library and it turns out that it was pretty easy to adapt this slideshow for use with Zen Cart. (there is also a WordPress Plugin for the Nivo Slider if anyone is interested)

I've provided the files on my site: http://overthehillweb.com/free-downloads for anyone interested in replacing the Easy Slider slideshow with the Nivo Slider . (I re-purposed many of the files Anne used in adapting Easy Slider for Zen Cart). In the fileset I provide a sample slideshow based on the demo that comes with the Nivo Slider. The demo provides several examples of ways to configure the Nivo Slider. I did not include a readme in this package, and the demo is fairly self explanatory IMHO. The stylesheet in the package is setup to support the four themes that come with Nivo. If you are familiar with installing Zen Cart add-ons, this should be a pretty easy install. If you need additional help configuring the slideshow, you can try these threads:

1. jQuery Plugin Usage - http://nivo.dev7studios.com/support/...-plugin-usage/
   
2. Advanced Tutorials (jQuery Plugin Tutorials) - http://nivo.dev7studios.com/support/advanced-tutorials/
   

While I'm sharing this here as a follow-up to my earlier post, I would like to respectfully ask that anyone who decides to use the Nivo slide package NOT ask support related question about the Nivo slider here in THIS thread support thread. On that same note please do not PM me about the Nivo slider as I will not questions via PM about this slider. You should create a separate thread if you do need help configuring the Nivo slider so that the community can assist you, or post your questions on the Nivo Slider support forum. (http://support.dev7studios.com/discussions)

Happy Zenning!!!

Thanks for posting ;-) I have actually started the process of updating all of the templates with a new slider that is cross browser compatible. The first template scheduled for the update is Avonlee Contempo.

I just installed the package to replace a slide show on a test cart and am seeing a lot of html validation errors which are slide show related.

The new slider in the template updates is Jquery slides, http://slidesjs.com. The template packages will validate html with no errors.

Thanks,

Anne

If you are speaking of the Nivo slider, then yes I am aware that there will be one specific tag used by the Nivo Slider HTML that the validator will burp on. It's because there is a non-standard attribute/tag used by the Nivo Slider (there is no attribute "data-thumb"). I didn't see any others.. So I personally do not think there is any real harm in this one error so it's a small "risk" that I'm willing to accept.

This was my second choice. It's a nice slideshow script.. I opted for Nivo because I've been using that on WordPress lately, and I like the Nivo Slider.. Plus the SlideJS slider still seems to be using the older v1.4.x JQuery Library, and I didn't want to mess with trying to use the newer JQuery Library...

I have the slide JS installed using the latest version of jquery 1.8.2.

I am seeing these errors in the validator:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...alidator%2F1.3

I'm not getting all of these same errors.. I believe this in part because I'm not using all the HTML that's in the demo slideshow in my download.. For example, I am not declaring an explicit transition type like in the demo page. Also I'm using one of the other Nivo themes so I'm sure that's another factor.... Nevertheless, I tend to use validation as a guideline and not an absolute as there are things that the validator spits out that are not big deal issues IMHO.. So for me these errors are not anything I would consider huge concerns.. Everyone has their own tolerances though..

I just thought that you would want to know that these validation errors are in the package in case you wanted to fix them. I got them by using the unchanged files in the download package that you posted ;-)

Understood.. Some of the validation errors can't be "fixed" and I am of the opinion that this is not necessarily a cause for concern.. For example the validation error "there is no attribute "data-transition"".

Yep..:smile: I knew before I ran a validation against the demo HTML that some of the custom attributes used by the Nivo scipt might cause the HTML validator to burp up an error or two.. The validator tags these as errors as it is looking to validate the HTML against certain criteria. Since these custom attributes aren't part of that criteria, the HTML validator tags them as errors.. However, IMHO, for this script these validation errors are generally harmless and not something I think is a cause for concern.

I will have a closer look at the other slideshow once you upload your updated template using it..

Since switching from my old Cold Steel template to Bentley Classic I am getting SSL errors on my secure pages. In Firefox the seal in the address bar is blurred, in Chrome it shows a read strike-out. Have not tested this with MS IE (I am using Linux installs only.....)

SSL worked perfectly on all secure pages on the old Cold Steel template, the cert is valid until June 2013.

No changes made to the configure.php file.

Checked the page sources for http:// referenced images and can't find anything suspicious.

All links to external images are https:// referenced and internal ones are relative only.

As an example go to the login page at https://frnt.com.au/index.php?main_page=login

Any ideas please?

Thanks / Frank

There are no absolute urls used for any of the template images or links. I would double check all of the items that you have added for http:// urls.

When I visit the login page in chrome I am seeing a green lock with no ssl problems. I am also not seeing any problems with the page in firefox.

Thanks,

Anne

This all worked beautifully.. Thanks to both of you..

One thing..

I can't quite figure out how to make the columns within the 2 column dropdown wider.. Please forgive me for not seeing this clearly.. I have been up the last 24 hours making the final tweaks to this Zen Cart upgrade.. So I'm a little sleep deprived..

The instructions that frank posted is for turning a one column drop down into a 2 column dropdown. If you just want to make the 2 column drop down wider then you can do this in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css file.

If you post a link to the site I can take a look. Also, let me know which drop menu you are trying to modify. Did you already make the categories drop into two columns?

Hey Anne thanks.. It's the mega menu that comes wit this template.. and yes I already made the categories and manufacturers two columns.. I may just be still sleep deprived.. I spent ALL of this weekend backing up the old site and transferring over my development code.. (most of that time was spent struggling to backup the old site - 10GB of CRAP!!) I am just not clearly seeing what is required to widen the columns.. So if this ends up being is a simple answer I apologize in advance..:blush:

You can do something like this:

Code:

---

.mega-menu .dropdown_2columns {width: 400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 {width:400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 ul li{width:200px;}

---

Getting closer.. It's that last declaration I was missing apparently.. Thanks Anne:smile:

Okay.. So I wanted to widen these columns a tad so that the category names would not wrap the way they are now.. For the manufacturers this seems to be fine.. the product categories are still wrapping the text.. I tried adding to the widths above but get an undesirable result (suddenly my 2 column becomes one BIG single column and the category names still wrap)

You need to play around with the widths until you get the exact ones that you want ;-)

Try this:

Code:

---

.mega-menu .col_2 {width:400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 ul li a{width:250px;}

---

Thanks,

Anne

---

No, try this instead:

Code:

---

.mega-menu .dropdown_2columns {width: 400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 {width:400px;}
.mega-menu .level2 li a{width:300px;}
.mega-menu .level2 li{margin-right:45px;}

---

Thanks,

Anne

Well this helps.. I played around and got mostly everything working correctly.. I get a weird happening when I hover over certain categories where the right column jumps over to the left.. Doesn't happen when hovering over the manufacturers.. Hmmmm.. I will mess around with trying to figure out how to stop that behavior later.. I'm kinda tired of looking at this.. :laugh:

Yes, check your css. Although this technique is an easy way to get 2 columns in the categories/manufactures drop downs, if it is not working for you, you should look at the categories_ul_generator file and make modifications there and to in the tpl_mega_menu.php file, the part that loads the ul generator.

Thanks,

Anne

Yeah at some point I will do that.. Not sure what I'd be looking for, but I'll have a looksee at some point soon.. For now it's really only two categories it happens to and my client has okayed me taking a break on fixing this for right now.. Thanks for your help!!:smile:

Hi Guys,

How did you disable it? Did you add a display:none; to the stylesheet or did you remove the code?

Thanks,

Hi Anne,
Happy Holidays! Thank you for creating such a great template for Zen Cart, I was using estorenow template before but couldn't get it to configure the way I want it to look. I just started to customize your template with slideshow and logo etc. but I noticed that my slideshow is not below the header, instead it is overlapping it. I've also view other pages and it is the same, can you please guide me on how I resolve this?

http://selectious(dot)com/index(dot)php?main_page=index


Also, please advise how I can line my Option Name attributes in a row, right now, it is all over the place... :(

http://selectious(dot)com/index(dot)...roducts_id=180


I tried to re-upload the css files but that did not resolve the issue and I'm using zencart 1.3.9h.

Thank you very much!

I tried to view the site but it would not load ;-(

Hi Anne,
Please try this:

http://selectious.com//index.php?main_page=

Also the product attribute page:
http://selectious.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=180


Thank you again

If you are not going to use all of the elements shown in the template demo then you will probably have to make some adjustments in the css for the other elements. You can move the slider down and the search box over in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css and stylesheet.css file.

Try adding:

Code:

---

.wrapperAttribsOptions{clear:both;}

---

to your stylesheet. css file along with some padding-bottom to the add to cart box.


Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne, I will give it a try.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Anne,
Thank you very much for your guidance before but adding: .wrapperAttribsOptions{clear:both;} did not work. I wanted it to display like how this is displayed:
http://selectious.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

like each option name in a box of its own and next to each other.

Please guide me, I've been trying for months to try to get it to work but I just don't know how.

Thank you so so much.

I sound very much like the last post, I guess. I am trying to style a list in the product description, but nothing I do has any effect. Been at it for months, on and off. Is there something in coding other than css which is controlling list css?

If you have to make changes to the xhtml output by one of the php files then you can search for the file you need to change using the developers toolkit. Most changes to appearance can be made using css only and editing the stylesheet.css file.

I would recommend doing a google search for a beginners css tutorial to help you to learn how to style lists.

Thanks,

Anne

I want to add attributes to my products so clients can choose between "grey" and "light khaki"
When I setup the attributes and select "dropdown", on the product page it shows up as radio buttons and both attributes are selected.
When I choose radio button at the setup then on products page it still shows up as radio buttons and both are still selected.
Does not matter if I choose a default attribute or not, it keeps on coming up with two radio buttons, both selected.

I think it is a template problem because if I use the preview function in the control panel then the attributes display correctly both for dropdown and radio options.

See http://www.4x4direct.co.za/shop/seat...otec-p-608.htm

At the moment the attributes are setup as dropdown but you can see it shows up as radio boxes

It's unlikely that this is a template issue.. but it sounds like you've installed some kind of mod to manage attributes like Stock By Attributes or Dynamic Dropdowns and that is most likely the cause of the problem you are seeing with attributes..

Thanks I got sorted. I did not setup the attributes properly. So it was a user fault not a template fault

This is not a template issue. You need to set up the attribute name as color and values and grey, light khaki, etc.

Check the template for the exact file names, but there is a jscript file in includes/modules/pages/index, and files in the css, common and jscript. And remove the call for the slider in the tpl_main_page.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks!!

I really love this template. Very Clean and easy to use. Actually all of your templates are very nice. Once question. It appears that the New Products listed on the main page is not working for me. I checked and it is turned on and I have new products. Would you mind taking a peak? (I know my logo is jacked up). I know I am just missing something but I am new with Zencart. http://www.head1stapparel.com/store/

Thank you again for your amazing work.

(On a side note I may actually need a custom template designed once we start making money. You are the first person I am going to check with)

EDIT: The service menu doesn't look right because I have removed a couple of menu items. How can I make it float right instead of left. I have looked through the CSS files but my eyes are burning after days of staring at code.

Thanks,
Scott

I am happy that you are using the template ;) See this:

http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...72#post1134272

For the menu, edit the tpl_mega_menu.php file and remove the "align_right" from the <div class="dropdown_customer_service align_right">


Thanks,

Anne

Sorry, did not see your reply. Thank you very much.

One other quick question regarding preston_elite. Is there a way that I can either customize the drop down contact form or remove the drop down portion and just use it as a clickable button?

Thanks,
Scott

Yes, you will edit the includes/templates/preston_elite/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.

Thanks,
