change this declaration:

#topWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
}

Clyde,

That didn't work. or I inserted something wrong.

This is what I inserted:

#topWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
background-image:
url('basketweave1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat

}


This is what I am trying to do:

ok, fixed part of it, in:

#headerWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background-image:
url('basketweave1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat
}


Now I just need to add the background above the home/login buttons and to the left of the account/cart/contact nav buttons.


Thanks

finally got it. Thanks!

#navAccountWrapper {
margin: auto;
background-image:
url('basketweave1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 26px;
width: 907px;

looks like you fixed it

Hi.

Thanks for a great templet to start with. =)

I have a problem.. my right row of sideboxes disappares everytime I click on a catergory..
In every other page that does not involve clicking on products all boxes on both sides visible. (as in login, cart, contact and so on)

Normal in other template. I'm sorry, but do not av an address for it yet.

From the description in the downloads section:

This template modifies tpl_main_page.php, tpl_header.php and tpl_footer.php to achieve its look. It is designed to "DROP" the right colomn on category/product listing pages.

DOH! That is what happens if you don't read properly... :blush:
can I un-do it, or is that too much of a problem to do? (thing is I really, really like the rest of the template and no other comes even close to your's in terms of what I'm looking for...)

Yes,

open includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_main_page.php

find the following section of code:

Code:

---

if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'specials,products_new,featured_products,products_all')) ) {
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  }

 if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath > '0' ) {
 $flag_disable_right = true;
 }

---

and comment it out as indicated by the highlighted portions

Code:

---

// if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'specials,products_new,featured_products,products_all')) ) {
//    $flag_disable_right = true;
//  }

// if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath > '0' ) {
// $flag_disable_right = true;
// }

---

This template looks great when viewed with Fire Fox, but when it is viewed with IE gets a little glitch. I think it's similar to what Boggled was describing in post #92.

I find the border around the center content isn't stable. It changes size when I scroll or pass the mouse over a link etc. Sometimes it covers most of the content, or the forms have a grey background.

This seems to be IE specific, any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks
Rob

I've checked it with FF, IE7, Opera and Netscape and can't duplicate this.

I don't have IE6 so I am unable to check it with that browser.

IE 7 is what I'm using. Check out the log in page at Excalibur and scroll up and down near the bottom. The grey shading at the bottom changes width. How would I remove the grey border if I'm unable to make it stable?

Try the following and see if it helps:

open tpl_login_default.php

at around line 99 - 100 find the following:

<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<div class="clearBoth">&nbsp;</div>

add the highlighted portion as shown.

Thanks, that seems to have stabilized that page. I assume I do something similar to all the other templates such as the product info template, or is there something I can do more globally?

Globaly, no. You'll have to adjust individual pages as necessary.

LOL it looks like I'm off to Chapters to get the "PHP For Dummys" book.

Check out this demo site in IE. When you pass your mouse over a link the words "Welcome, please sign in" disappear. It also does this on my site. I've tried the default template with no change. Any Ideas? I really like the look of this template, and hope the "bugs" can be work out.

Open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration

#centerOuterBorder {
margin: 10px auto; /*gives spacing at top and bottom*/
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px; /*spacing between this and the mainWrapper*/
background: #EFEEEE;
height:1&#37;;
}
Add the highlighted portion see if that helps

No change. Strange, it seems to try to be visible as you scroll up and down.

Open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p {
position: relative;
}

This is what I have in stylesheet.css

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
margin: 0.3em;

Are you saying change it to

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p {
position: relative;
}

No, just add the additional declaration.

Getting closer. Now the text shows up if I resize the window slightly, or if I scroll the part that was out of view is visible when I scroll back down.

Make sure you've cleared your browser cache.

Yes! On my home computer it is working fine.

I managed to get it to work by adding this in stylesheet.css

.centerColumn {
background: #fff;
font-size: 1.2em;
position: relative;

Please bear with me as I am totally new to Zencart (well, had it installed for about 6 hrs!)... I have had an oscommerce shop though for sometime and installed quite a few contribs in the past so I understand that part of the process, but not the templating.

I have downloaded comstock (thanks Clyde!) as it appears to be a good basis for what I eventually want to have which is a site with just a simple tab menu across the top which has for example

Home, Account, Category (or a Sub Category), Cart Contents, New Products, FAQ

So a mixture of categories and other pages.

Can I do the mixture of types of pages? on the test site I looked at My Account, Cart are in a different place to Home which is different again to the Categories and the New Products are on yet another line.

If the template can't do it - could you point me in the right direction for how to achieve this?

As its nearly 2am I'm gonna give up for now, but any help would be gratefully received!

Thanks

Christine

Quick update

I should have gone to bed... but didn't.

With the basic template I managed to get something close to what I wanted by using EZpages and taking off all info boxes etc from displaying

I then installed comstock and reset all the boxes off again - but I still have the account, shopping cart etc at the top right and Home and Login next row down on the left and then the EZpages on a bar

I guess what I want is the formatting of the EZpages to look like tabs so maybe this template isn't for me after all?

1st. Do you have a URL for your site so I can take a look at what you've got so far.

2nd. Yes, you can get the EZpages bar to look like tabs but it will require a little work with the stylesheet.css and creating the images you will need.

HI,

I have just installed this template and set it up to work beautifully in Firefox, but when I view it in IE7 the products do not show properly. They are greyed out unless I have another window open over the top and this window acts as an eraser and the text then show until I mouse over the left side bar - then it goes grey again!!! Is there a .css for IE7 for this template?

If not what has to happen the fix this?

Also, I love the template, but would prefer to keep the right side boxes in all views - is this possible?

Thanks
Sharon

Not sure what you are referring to: Just checked your site in IE7 and the product pages look completely normal.

Not sure what you mean by "another window" being open.

I mean (for instance) if you click on the image of the product to get the larger image, then move it around on the screen, the text is 'uncovered'.

It is not just me - another person viewed this site with IE and got the same problem. Product image price and name appear, but the description is greyed out, don't know why, but it doesn't happen on all product pages.

Seems to be that this happens when there is a short description. Also the footer isn't displaying properly in IE.

Can you duplicate this in your browser?

No I couldn't duplicate this. I clicked the "larger image" on each of your products and the popup window came up as expected I moved it around and the text was always visible (not greyed out).

Your question about turning on the sideboxes is answered in this post

Other fixes specific to IE can be found starting on page 12 of this thread.

Thanks, will check out the threads - seems like a lot of work to stabilize the border because I think this is what is happening.

Will post a result when I have worked it through.

Thanks again for replying so fast!

Cheers

Hi,

Have tried a couple of things and nothing is working to change things, I have attached a screenshot of what happens when viewing a products page.

Got the right column back - thanks

Here's a screen shot of what I see when using IE7 including with the popup window showing.

This is the same for all of your products for this (product info) page

Attachment 2892

That's great, but what about the rest of us who don't get that?

As I said, I am not the only one seeing this. Other systems in other places are also having problems viewing the products page (and the header is wrong size on some). Seems that IE is VERY unpredictable with this.

There must be an explanation surely. As IE is used by so many it has to be able to display correctly. Does it mean a whole set of style sheets just for IE?

When I try to verify there is a lot of warnings about colour. Are the colour codes used compatible with IE Html and CSS? Maybe that is the problem - (sigh) Microsoft is such a pain at times.

It seems so weird to have to go through this right when I thought I had everything so perfect.

Do you think the store looks OK? This is the first time I have ever done anything like this.

I verified your site and only got 3 warnings all related to javascript.
nothing about colors.
The code used to identify the colors in the stylesheet is standard code used in CSS.

Can you post the errors you are getting.

Store looks great. congratulations.

Sure, I have 3 HTML files saved, but can't upload them, any other way to show you?

:cool: site looks nice on my two computers IE6 and IE7

thanks, I have made a few changes, seems to have fixed a few things, but can't get the text in the copyright - Zen area bottom right of footer to show up. It looks like the box is either too small for the text or margins or something. Am playing around with it now.

Did you notice if the top and bottom borders on the product info pages are rather large (thick) showing in the buy box?

Thanks for your comments - appreciate the feedback.

Did you do this change in your stylesheet?

.centerColumn {
background: #fff;
font-size: 1.2em;
position: relative; /*do not remove-fixes stupid IEbug*/

It fixed the problem for me.

put them in a zip file and upload that.

But as I said I verified the store portion of your site and only got the warnings I previously mentioned and these didn't have anything to do with colors.

Yes!!!! Thanks, read it in a previous post - fixed most of the probs I have with IE - but still have a few issues to iron out.

Like Date errors when I have done all the changes (for Aussies) and borders on the centre box in page info view too large, and copyright box not showing the Zen text properly.

Otherwise, things are looking a lot better in IE than they did a few hours ago. I really appreciate all the help I am receiving from you guys.

I've fixed those and will zip up the changes and post them for you.

I fixed a lot of things in the stylesheet that should take care of most of the IE errors and I've increased the height of the footer box so that should take of that issue also.

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Thanks for that, other than messing up a few things I had modified, it seems to have made a difference in IE and FF - but I can fix those I guess.

Now all I have to find out about is fixing the date error message in the account area.

Thanks again,
Really appreciate your time

One other change/edit you should make:

open includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_header.php

find these lines of code: (there are 2 of them)

<div id="navMain">

and change them to

<div class="navMain">

Great, did that and seem to fix a couple of things - my heading won't center any more tho' "text align: center" doesn't get read in the <div statement when you view the page source.

Not urgent.

Thanks

open the stylesheet.css and change:

#logo {
margin:0;
float: left;
}

to

#logo {
margin:0;
text-align: center;
}

Thanks Clyde,

Everything seems great now except I have lost the shop options graphic from the footer. Can't seem to get it back.

Any thoughts?

Only thing I see is in the following from the stylesheet.css:
Delete the highlighted portion and make sure the graphic is located in includes/templates/comstock/images

#shopOptions {
margin: 0px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(../images/options.gif) center center no-repeat;
height: 35px;
float: center;
}

Most things are fine in IE now - can't thank you enough for your help Clyde

Glad I could help.

Hello Clyde, first of all I simply love this template of your. What I'm trying to do is get everything cleand up before I start actually adding content to my site. I've got some I.E. bugs that I can't seen to clear up. I've been reading this thread and trying different things but haven't found the fixes yet. I was wondering if you have the time could you take a look at my site in both F.F. (how it should look) and I.E. (at the problems that I have. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Charlotte

Hello Clyde,

I just copied and pasted this url right from the browser address bar on my website. I also clicked on it here and it goes straight to my website. I have another site running live right now at http://www.xtreme-rc-hobbies.net/ which is Oscommerce and not Zen Cart. I am getting this site (Zen Cart/Comstock) setup to replace that one and have it in a completely different directory with my web host.

Here it is cut and pasted directly from my website with Zen Cart and your Comstock template that I am trying to complete.

Ok, as far as I can tell I have everything worked out as I want it now other than being able to center the options.gif (credit card pic) in the footer. Any ideas how I can do this. I've been trying over and over with little to no luck at all.

margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:0

}
change the highlighted portion to this:

background: url(../images/options.gif) center center no-repeat;

Anything is possible:

you can download either of the following contributions from the downloads section and incorporate them into the template.

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=523

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=479

Or contact the contribution authors and see if they'd be willing to help.

thank you, i might try to just use an image map, not sure, thank you though.

I am using Zen 1.3.8a . This is a great template, but I continue to have a problem with the FREE SHIPPING icon. It will not appear on any item that is set for free shipping. The problem seems to be that [FONT=Arial]admin -> catalog -> product types -> product general -> edit layout -> Product Free Shipping Image Status - Catalog (set this to true) - that option is not showing up in admin. Obviously something is missing. Do I need another mod, or maybe to reinstall one ?? Thanks in advance for your help. Also, on some listing, only part of the image is displayed - any ideas.
Thanks.[/FONT]

Thanks.[/FONT]

This mod does not modify any files in the admin portion of Zen Cart

Can you be more specific about on which pages(listings) this is happening?

Also a URl for the site would help so I can view the problem.

copy and paste the following sql statement into:
admin -> tools -> install sql patches and click the send button

Code:

---

INSERT INTO `product_type_layout` VALUES (15, 'Product Free Shipping Image Status - Catalog', 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_ALWAYS_FREE_SHIPPING_IMAGE_SWITCH', '1', 'Show the Free Shipping image/text in the catalog?', 1, 16, '2008-01-07 09:31:54', '2007-01-08 10:25:58', NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_drop_down(array(array(''id''=>''1'', ''text''=>''Yes''), array(''id''=>''0'', ''text''=>''No'')), ');

Thanks for checking for me. The web site is at www.bobkatgifts.net An example of partial images can be found on several of the listing in the Betty Boop section. As for the sql fix suggested above - that produced an error code of 1062 Duplicate entry '15' for key 1 my site has worked fine for years so I am sure the problem is something simple that I have somehow missed. - let me know if you need to look at "admin" - thanks

I just checked both "betty boop" pages (in firefox and IE7) and didn't see any partial images they all looked normal.

See your PM

Hi There,

great template just what my wife needed. However we're having one small problem with the product text.

When viewing a product if you resize the left hand side of you web browser or view it on a laptop with lower res, the text appears over the right hand border.

Have a look here http://www.crystalpearl.co.uk the site is still being constructed at the moment but I've tried to sort this out but am stuck!

Any help would be great.

Kindest Regards

Hylt

Try adding the following declaration to includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

#productDescription {
clear:left;
}

Hi Clyde,

Thanks for that, it looks and works much better now.

Kindest Regards

Glad to help.

Clyde, I really like the comstock template - would you check the footer on www.bobkatgifts.net for me. On the right side - it is cutting off part of your credits. The left side is fine - let me know what I need to fix.
Also, how do I get the text out of the Search Box.
Thanks

would you check the footer
with just a quick look, it appears that the top image is taking up more space than the footer section was originally designed for. The footer section is 95px high and the top image is 85px high. It may also be a little wide (at 700px) for the middle of the footer section.


how do I get the text out of the Search Box

add the following define statement to:
includes/languages/english/comstock/header.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');

BTW: you might want to check on your SSL certificate.

Hi,

Re: Comstock Template: Zen Cart™ Version: v1.3.8, Version: v2.0, Last Updated: Dec 25 2007

I have a question concerning the unzip contents of your "Comstock" template package on my local system.

After unzipping the package onto my XP Pro system and uploading to my Linux server space (hosting with GoDaddy) I wanted to delete the folders / files that the zipped package created on my local system. There was one folder that refused to be deleted -- the "buttons" folder at the end of the "includes" folder chain. I was able to delete the files within the folder (mostly gif's) and all of the files in the "upstream" folders, but the "buttons" refused to be deleted.

I did note that when I would hover my mouse over the folder icon, instead of the "folder is empty" prompt I should be seeing I got a 145K prompt, which would mean there are file(s) in the folder, but there are none. Anyway, after a couple of reboots (the last into "safe mode") was able to delete the folder.

Have you ever seen this?

I am concerned that there might be something "odd" going on with the folder / file(s). I did remove the template (including the "buttons" folder) from my server space without issue, but it still has me a little worried :huh:

Thanks.

Jim

First I've heard about this issue.

I always check the files/folders and the zip package for viruses etc. before uploading them to the downloads section and they are checked by again by forum admins before being released for download.

Thanks for the follow-up. I suspect there's nothing wrong except for some sort of glitch on my system when I unzipped the files. But, I've never had it happen before, so I thought I'd check with you to see if there was anything to be concerned about.

Thanks again :smile:

Jim

Hi,

I am wondering either where I can get the template or how to create the template for the following site: http://mysticmountainnaturals.com. I have a friend that wants the exact template for his zencart.
Thank you!:smile:

Thank you.. I have a friend that is wanting it as the template for their site. :smile:

I'm having the exact same problem as another poster and after reading through most of the pages I didn't see a fix. I tired the zipped files and that didn't fix it. In IE6 on several different systems I'm not seeing the price nor the product name on the product page. Also the white background it grey. In FF it looks great though. Can someone please take a look and let me know if they can fix it.

Here is a link.

Hi,

I've installed the Comstock template on my site, and would now like to customize it a bit. These are some things on my wishlist. Hopefully they are easy changes to make:

1. I would like to set the width of the template to a specific size rather than having it fill out the whole screen. I would probably make it about the same size as the green header graphic.

2. I would like to remove the green header graphic and leave as a white background.

3. I would like to put my logo on the top left.

4. Remove the zen cart banner from the bottom.

5. Make the gray and black bars at the top and the gray bar at the bottom be the width of the template instead of going the with of the monitor.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Brian

Your site URL

Hi,

I'd rather not give out the site for public consumption yet. Not until I've gotten it secured down, etc. Is there something about seeing the site that would change your answers?

Its always easier to make recommendations when you can see what it is that needs to be changed.

That being said:

create your own logo.gif image and copy it to:

includes/templates/comstock/images

As for the rest:

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find ALL of the following declarations in the stylesheet and replace them with those listed here:

#topWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
width: 90%;
vertical-align: top;
}

#mainWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-align: left;
width: 90%;
vertical-align: top;
}

#logoWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 907px;
height:100px;
background: #ffffff;
}

#navAccountWrapper {
margin: auto;
background: #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 26px;
width: 907px;
}

#navMainWrapper {
margin: auto;
background: url(../images/silver_bar.gif) repeat-x;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 26px;
width: 907px;
}

#navExtraWrapper {
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
background: url(../images/black_bar.gif);
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 20px;
width: 907px;
}

#bottom {
margin: auto;
background: url(../images/silver_bar.gif) repeat-x;
height: 26px;
width: 907px;
}

Save all of your changes and upload them to your server.

The Zen Cart Banner at the bottom can be turned off in:
admin -> tools -> Banner Manager

Hi Mr. Jones,
I don't want to sound impatient or like I'm trying to rush you or anything, but my friend has asked me for some type of time frame for the template to be ready, and I told him that I would ask you to see if you had some idea of how much longer it may take.. I do apologize if I come accross as rushy or anything, for that isn't my intent. Thanks in advance.

Hi Clyde,

Thanks so much for the help. I made the css changes and everything worked except for the middle part of the screen which still was going almost the full width of the screen. However, I played around with a couple of the settings you gave and got it to work. This is what I changed:

#mainWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-align: left;
width: 90%; (Changed this to 907px)
vertical-align: top;
}

#topWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
width: 90%; (Tried changing this between 90% and 100% but I didn't see any change in the layout. Maybe you can tell me what part of the page this effects and what value it should be.)
vertical-align: top;
}


I have another question for you...how hard would it be to add more buttons to the top gray bar? Where you have Home and Login, I would like to add buttons along there for each of my main categories.

Thanks again,
Brian

You can open includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_header.php

and edit/add your links manually.

as an alternative you can activate the categories tab menu.

find this in admin -> configuration -> layout settings -> Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF and turn it on.

Wow Thank you! Your the best! :)

I have been using this template with no problems. I added Magic SEO URL program and suddenly when a person enters a search term - they are taken to a page with a 404 error. Additionally, there is program text prefilled in the search box. Who knows what happened, anyway, please advise what files I need to upload again to my server. Overwriting will probably fix whatever has happened. Thanks in advance for your help. www.bobkatgifts.net
