ok, got the new products thing figured out. I had to turn off all three before it would go away;
Show New Products on Main Page
Show New Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories
Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Product
The alignment issue wasn't resolved, it just moved it to the other side.
oh, got it. Needed to change the width to the full page width of 917px.
thanks for your help Clyde. You have been a life saver.
Clyde,
I put an image as the background for the site. Is their a way to keep the background image still as the actual store scrolls up and down.
Also, how can I change the title of the side boxes. Like if I wanted to change where is says "Categories" or "Sponsors" to something else.

Thanks, that all worked great. I forget about the FAQ section. I will review all that first now.
I have read and read and tried all the fixes I have found to no avail.
Somehow somewhere I am getting
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
On every page. And of course my site is no longer indexed.
www.darkwoodarmory.com
using Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Patch: 1::
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
I can't find why it is getting this tag. I have tried so many things I am worried I am starting to introduce problems.
Any help?
Scott
Did you use from the Known BugFixes the post #12
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82619
Yes, I made the changes in the /includes/init_includes/init_add_crumbs.php file.
And it is showing noindex for all my pages.
Scott
Go to your Zen cart Admin and go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...
In the bottom input box enter:
nofollow
select Catalog and click SEARCH ...
What files come up?
Hello Clyde
I would like to make some link changes in the EZpage Nav Bar - The navEZPagesTop class is what I want to modify but am unable to locate the php file these links are located in.
Also can the login/register link be moved down to the EZpage Nav Bar.
Thank You,
Every instance of html_header.php which check out OK
init_add_crumbs.php which I changed
tpl_zc_install_suggested_default.php
html_output.php
nddbc.html
of which I don't see a problem with.
Since you didn't provide a link to your site, I can only guess that the following is what you want.Quote:

yes by adding an internal link in
admin -> tools -> ez-pages
Sorry for no link but Zencart is being developed on a local server.Quote:

Are these links located in one file or are they spread across several files and just show up here? I would like to make some changes to the links at the stated location. I read through this thread but could only find several reference main navigation changes in the main_header_tpl.php file (maybe I quoted that file wrong).
Thank you for any direction.
What happens if you switch to the Classic Templates?
As I said in my above post, changes to those links can be made inQuote:

Wow, it is gone!!!! So it was the cold Steel template. At least now I know where to start looking!
Thanks for the update that the problem is with your template ...
Let us know what you discover ... :smile:
I am going through now, I hope I can identify the problem, I really like my site with this template.
Look in the cold steel support thread for a solutionQuote:

This should do the trick
just unzip the package and upload the file to includes/templates/cold_steel/common/

Thank You Clyde - I was able to change some of the links however I would like to change the style on only one of the links in the navezpage nav bar. I do not see any way to implement this one link style using (style.css) but maybe using @eccho <style> new class for the link I want to change the font and color on would be the best approach.Quote:

Hi Clyde i have just a few easy questions for you:
1) How can i add some text inside the footer.gif like you done for your website as a disclaimer?
2) How do i center those category buttons i made on my website?
www.lemy.co.uk
3) You have any other suggestions regarding the site before i start linking it and promoting it?
Thanks a lot and cheers for this great template, i love it!
download and install the products disclaimer mod available in the downloads sectionQuote:

#navMain {
text-align:center
width:100%;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
I have done that and i installed the disclaimer, but the tpl_footer is modified for cold_steel so it didn't work to replace it, so i have added this code:Quote:

Hello again Clyde :blush:
I stumble upon this old thread about including the attributes in the cart: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ight=stylsheet
and i'm wondering if the same instructions you gave there can be applied to the cold_steel template and also if it's possible to move the add to cart button upper in the product display page(i'm thinking just on the right side, above the tabbed product display).
My store is here: www.lemy.co.uk
Cheers!
All you're changing is the tpl_info_display.php. so yes its possibleQuote:

Clyde,
Your Cold Steel template is awesome! I'm a new Zenner, and I picked it for my jewelry website here:
http://www.upfrontjewelry.com/
I would like to change the header and two footer graphics. Where would I go to do this? Probably a simple question, but I am a little green.

You'll need to create new graphics to replace the following:Quote:

Save your new graphics with the same names to:

Suggestions?

Hello Clyde, my website is http://lemy.co.uk, i am using cold steel template.
1. I would like to center the center column.
2. In IE, on mouse hover over the center column images, the page moves. Same happens in product display page when hovering mouse over the Bicycle and Componentry Guarantee and Choosing Your Bike links( only bikes have those links ) . How can i fix that?
3. I would like to make links throughout the website red on mouse hover, but can't seem to get it right as much as i tried.
4. I would like to move that center column description box at the bottom of the main page. How can i do that?
Thanks in advance. Cheers!
#1 - ?????????????????Quote:

Thank you for taking the time. I will try to be more clear:Quote:

2. In IE i have the same problem as before when hovering mouse over the images in the home page center column.
3. I have changed the links to red now except for this:
That is not red on mouse hover for some reason.Code:a:hover,#navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover {
color:red;
background:#fff;
font-weight:700
}
4. Just above the monthly specials(home page) there is a text box. I want to move that below the featured products. I suspect this will be done from tpl_index_default.php, but not sure.

My mistake, I saw the #navEZPagesTOC in firebug when inspecting the Bicycle and Componentry Guarantee link in my product pages, that's the one i would like to change to have a red hover effect. Thanks again for your patience.Quote:

If you mean the dropdown menu then you will need to look at the css for for that mod and probably have to adjust the padding and margin settings.Quote:

Thanks for replying so fast. I think it's the whole Center column shifting, at least that's what i get after pressing browser compatibility button in IE8. I also used a free website to view some snapshots for my website in other browsers, It is acting the same in IE6,7 Opera 8.5 and others. This is the link to that website and it has the snapshots already taken. This must be the reason i'm not selling on it so far :frusty:Quote:

Ok, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.Quote:

Hi Clyde,
I am new to Zen Cart and I am using your cold steel template. So far I have been able to figure out how to configure everything from reading everyone else's q&a, but I have run into a problem. I am having difficulty centering the contents of my main page into the rectangular border that surrounds the entire contents of the pages. Here is a link to my site so you can see exactly what I am talking about.
http://jths.customers/ec/
Can you give me some insight on how I would go about doing this? I have searched through everything I can find, and I'm completely stumped! :wacko:
Thank you!
The link you provided does not work.Quote:

Any ideas as to why the contents in my define_main_page.php would be shifting right and not aligning within the main wrapper? I have turned off the left side navigation column and all that is showing on my main page is the header, contents of define_main_page.php within the main wrapper, footer, and copyright.
thanks again!
If the following is what you have as your define_main_page.php, then that is the problem.Quote:

An upgraded version of Cold Steel Template compatible with ZC v1.3.9 should be available in the downloads section shortly.
first of all, thank you very much for a great template.
second, i would like help with these things:
1. i would like to use a different color in the background for all of the boxes on the left, as well as the categories box. just tell me what files they are in.
2. the search box in the upper right corner disappears in ie6. (not that big of a deal)
3. i would like to add a link to my image gallery in the information window. (i know, not template specific)
4. i would like to rename the information window (also not template specific)

1. You can change the background color by modifying the following: stylesheet_betterCategoriesEzInfo.css and stylesheet.cssQuote:

3. open includes/moules/sideboxes/information.php and following the pattern(s) for the links in order to add your own links.

Version 1.0 is not compatibile with ZC 1.3.9 ? What are the differences ?Quote:

Did you change the main stylesheet or can I use the previous one ?
There is a new installation folder and an upgrade folder included with version 2.Quote:

Note that the template_info.php still say's Version 1.0 in the v2.0 package - both upgrade and new install files.
Hi Clyde,
To parrot others, thanks for your work and for providing cold steel for free.
I've just upgraded to ZC 1.3.9.b and to Cold Steel 2.
Your comment above about changing the logo size. That's ok to make the logo smaller, but making it bigger results in a white gap between the grey background at the top and the one behind the tabs.
A question though, if you'd be so kind... The new Tabs are great, but they show both the 'Login/Register' tab and the 'My Account' tab. Is there a way to get it to show Login/Register on its own until the user logs in, then only show the My Account tab?
I haven't checked yet, but I assume it's relatively easy to move the My Account tab before the About Us tab?

Hi there. I was pretty much forced to upgrade to the latest Zen Cart and ColdSteel 2.0 but I have a problem now. I want my ez-pages to show up in this bar (ezPagesTop) but they do not. In fact right after the installation, this bar is completely empty. If I define a new ez-page it shows only in the footer but not at the top. Did I have to enable this function somewhere else because I already enabled id in e-z pages settings ?

The star.gif image doesn't exist in the ColdSteel 2 download by the way.
I copied the star.gif of your website and put it into the folder mention above, but it still shows the 'star.gif' text instead of the image. Did the original attachment contain some other fix as well as the star.gif image?
One other question about this. On the Contact Us and Login pages, it shows the text '= Required information', but the symbol (presumably the star) indicating the required information isn't shown. I don't think this is the same issue as above, as it isn't showing the 'star.gif' text in place of the image either. I had a look in the template and it doesn't appear to have been included in the code. In case I'm looking in the wrong place, where should I be looking?
Thanks for any help you can offer. I'll PM you the link as the site isn't live yet.
(Thanks for your earlier help with the Login/My account tabs.)
By default Cold Steel does not use the star.gif image.Quote:

I'll include this in an updated version of the template.
Thanks Clyde. Got it sorted.
I'm having a problem when viewing my store in Firefox 3.6.3 using Mac OS 10.6.3. It looks like the CSS is the problem, but I don't have a clear idea on how to fix it. I'm proficient at editing CSS to modify themes, but I was never good at cross-browser compatibility.
It looks just fine in Firefox using Windows XP, as well as in Safari on my friend's Mac. I was alerted to this problem by a customer this morning.
I'm using ZenCart 1.3.9b.

Here is a screencap, as well: http://alexheberling.com/media/ff_store.png
Unfortunately I don't have access to a Mac, so I'm afraid I can't provide a solution.Quote:

Hello. First, my gratitude and respect to the Zen community: An impressive accomplishment in both technology and social interaction!
I'm in the initial stages of setting up my first Zen Cart store. I've successfully installed several templates so far, and have created a custom template from scratch, but I've decided to work with the Cold Steel template because I like the clean, spacious look.
My problem is that my new installation of the Cold Steel template doesn't match the demo as it appears on (sorry, site offline); There are brown tabs surrounding the 'Home, Login/Register' links, and there is a horizontal white space dividing the header.
Using Firefox/Web Developer Tool, I discovered several differences in the CSS between my site and the demo site. Curious, I downloaded the stylesheet.css from the demo site, and discovered it is not the same file that came in the Cold Steel download. The comments identify it as the'Christi Template CSS Stylesheet', as opposed to the 'Cold Steel Template CSS Stylesheet'.
I hope I haven't violated ettiquette by retrieving this file, but when I apply it to my site, it it does correct the display errors.
My questions are
1)What have I done wrong in my installation to cause this problem?
2)Is is permissible to simpy use the Christi Template CSS Stylesheet? I'm afraid that this stylesheet may have been written to work within the demo site and will introduce errors when used with the rest of the standard download files. Also, It seems a little rude to do so without asking.
My site: http://backyardperfect.com
Linux/Apache/GoDaddy
Zen Cart v1.3.9b
PHP 5.2.8
MySQL 1.3.9b
Cold Steel Template v2-0 (No changes to any Cold Steel files yet.)
No other mods
Thanks for helping to sort this out, and for all the work you've already done.
first: to fix the gap in the header, open includes/templates/cold_steel/css/stylesheet.cssQuote:

}
Second: if you prefer not to have the tabbed menu you can delete the reference(s) to the images in the stylesheet.
open includes/templates/cold_steel/css/stylesheet.css
find the following declarations and delete the highlighted portions:
#navMain a {
margin:0;
padding:0 5px 0 4px;
float:left;
background: url(../images/tableft.gif) no-repeat left top;
color:#854401;
text-decoration:none;
}
#navMain a span {
padding:2px 15px 2px 5px;
float:left;
display:block;
background: url(../images/tabright.gif) no-repeat right top;
color:#854401;
}
#navMain a:hover {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#navMain a:hover span {
background-position:100% -42px;
color:#fff;
}
#navMain .current a {
background-position:0% -42px;
}
#navMain .current a span {
background-position:100% -42px;
color:#fff;
}
Thank you for such quick response!
I quickly tried your suggestions, but they don't seem to be the answer. The results are currently visible on my site.
Part of the white gap issue is that the header in the demo is 110px or so in height, whereas my site has a header height of 140px- it seems as though the date is adding to the header space rather than fitting within it.
The tabs issue looks like it will require some additional css tinkering to get the colors to agree- I think I'll be up to that task.
Should I forget about utilizing the Christi Template completly? On the surface, it seems to take care of everything..
I appreciate your efforts.
A quick note: Please don't rush; I suddenly need to be elswhere, but will be back later. Thanks again.
Or you can download v1.0 of cold_steel.Quote:

I've looked through this thread and I haven't found the answer to my question: I'm using v1.3.9b at www.mysportsmouse.com/zencart and I would like to integrate your template in via iframe so I can keep the original style while still utilizing the Zen Cart interface.
The problem is that when I go into the "new_install" folder, there are three folders (languages, modules and templates) which I upload to their respective places in the admin/includes/templates folder.
I then go to the admin section, click on "tools" and then on "template selection" and the option for "cold steel" is not in the drop-down. What am I doing wrong? Did I put them in the wrong folder? :blink:
You should upload the entire includes folder to the where you have zen cart installed on your server.Quote:

I moved it to the same folder that Zen Cart is in, not inside the Zen Cart folder itself. Is that what you meant? I was unclear as to which you wanted me to do. Regardless, it's still not working. :frusty:Quote:

You haven't indicated where your zen cart files are located on your server.Quote:

I really appreciate your time and information. This is (obviously) my first time at this.
upload the includes folder from the mod to your zencart directory.Quote:
