Hi Anne,
Thanks for the referral. The changes that I made were done yet oddly enough they did not appear until almost two days later. I've been doing leg work and I have also watched almost all of your you tube tutorials. I didn't see the questions that I asked to be basic or obvious. I took the time and read every detail in your install.txt that you included and read all 37 pages (at the time) of this support thread before asking questions as you suggested yet there are others that obviously looked over your suggestions (not doing leg work) and asked questions that were specifically inserted in the install file that you provided.
I have done several searches but have difficulty finding what I need at times because I can't get the terminology correct. So, forgive me if I came across as being lazy. I was just hoping to find some guidance.

I appreciate everything that you have done. I couldn't have gone as far as I have without your template (the best one's I've seen so far).

No problem :smile: I didn't mean to imply that you were lazy. But the learning is in the doing. If you are going to undertake the huge task of customizing a zen cart site, then you have to know the basics.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Maybe a general question for a lot of us. Should we consider updating your template on our store site?

By far, I am extremely happy with my site, the flow, the admin side, etc. So I would hate to mess things up with an update? :no:

I only asked because you list bug fixes...

Thanks and I appreciate your template and incredible support here!

I would only consider updating to the new package if you read the changes and decide that there is a feature or bug fix that you can't live without ;-)

Most of the fixes are minor, but they are all things that I noticed and wanted to get fixed.



Thanks,

Anne

I installed the module "cateories with ez pages links" to your template. I have everything working. The only problem is I can't seem to get the module to match with the current category layout within the sidebox.

Following is what was added to the includes/templates/andover_modern/sideboxes/tpl_catergories.php

/ integrate ezpages

$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n";
for ($i=1, $n=sizeof($var_linksList); $i<=$n; $i++) {
$content .= '<li><a href="' . $var_linksList[$i]['link'] . '">' . $var_linksList[$i]['name'] . '</a></li>' . "\n" ;
} // end FOR loop
$content .= '</ul>' . "\n";

//end integrate ezpages
// integrate ezpges TOC
$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n" ;
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($ez_pages_toc); $i++) {
$content .= '<li>' . $ez_pages_toc[$i] . '</li>' . "\n" ;
}

$content .= '</ul>' . "\n" ;

// end integrate ezpages TOC

The above was placed after line 73
$content .= '</a></div>';
}
}

I tried a number of different things and have come close, but can't seem to figure it out.

What am I missing?

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Thanks,

Please I have followed the install.txt as instructed, but there is still a bluish line running down the right side of the template. My website is http://www.craftscollection.co.uk

I will so much appreciate your help. You have a lovely template and kind of you to share it.

The site is unaccessible by the general public until we go live. We are currently evaluating the performance in-house. We thought it would be nice to add the module previously mentioned. We believe the problem is in the language for the layout.

Specifically, $content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n"; If we can replace that with the style layout of the categories sidebox it should solve the problem.

The question is what is that or do you know of a better way to list the ezpages in the categories sidebox?

You have an old version of the template. You should download the latest version which is a 3 column layout. The old version is a 2 column layout which you can make a 3 column layout by adding the styles for the right hand column to the left hand column. If you follow the admin settings (in the install.txt file) for the old version of the template the blue box will disappear.

Thanks,

Anne

I am sorry, but your question is not making any sense to me at all. What specifically are you trying to do? What files are you talking about, etc.

Thanks,

Anne

On the left side of the template is a "Categories" sidebox. I would like to add an ez page link to it. I wish the link to appear in the Catergories sidebox not in a seperate box.

I tried adding the previous module mentioned to accomplish this but I can't get it to keep the same format.

Do you know of a way to add the link?

Sounds like you need to style the link in the stylesheet.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne
Long time no need ;)

As you may remember Im using this template on metalpix co uk

Just got to the stage where the normal Zen [next > >] is beginning to annoy me as it aint visible enough.

Do you know of any mod or way I could change the navigation into a more graphical layout as seen on some templates/Zen sites?

I have searched but to no avail. I'm thinking on the lines of small block icon for each next page Etc. Like weve all seen on many sites.

Any pointers would be great.

Hi Anne.
Can you point me to remove or replace the main page image (and slide show) for the categories and subcategories.
Please have a look - www.auctions-bay.com/wholesale.
When click to "retail store" or "wholesale customers" the main page image and the slide shows are still show up. I need to remove or replace it.
Thank you

Search in the developers toolkit to find the page you need to edit and then go to that page and experiment. If you do a forum search it is likely that someone has already done this and posted a thread.

Remove the slider code from the includes/languages/english/html_includes/andover_modern/define_main_page.php file.

Add categories via the admin---configuration---layout settings..

Anne

Hi,

Love this template but a couple of things and not live so can't show you. On nav bar in second nav heading it reads HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT US instead of just CONTACT US. I think it is in a file I have maybe altered but have been playing with many and cannot find. Any clues would be great, thank you!

Also my sideboxes are not showing, I have resized to correct layouts in layout settings (to test when I switched templates, have now put back to the template you will see there now) but not yet reset in layout boxes controller - would this be why or may it be something else? I am a novice so don't know how to build the page on a test site (if possible) so am doing the changes then switching between templates to see if it's how I want it. Working so far, just these niggles now!

Slider and pages look great so far!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Can you provide a list of the specific files that were updated only?

Hi,

Just a quick question really.

I am currently finishing off a website and am looking to make changes to the "contact us" and "sitemap" pages of the template.

My question is this, where are the files that actually compile the "sitemap" and "contact us" structure located? I've found the relevant define_ files in the includes/languages/english/html_includes folder, but this only changes the text at the top of the page. I'm really looking for the files that hold the database call functions.

My site link if you need it is:
www.frames4photos.com

Hope the question makes sense.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This is not a template specific question. I would recommend searching on the forum for an answer or using the developers toolkit to search for the correct files to edit.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi, I can't work out still how to remove the contact us page text from the nav bar - again working on shadow site so can't see on live site now. Still says 'HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US. maybe I can just remove the php page and have contact details elsewhere - tied to remove in header.php but still showing. Advice please?

Thanks,
J.

Ok, switched over to live now - need to remove that CONTACT header asap!

Also, could you advise how to remove the section re gift certs on footer. Thank you! Would it also be possible to put the ez pages on a lower nav bar (eg under first one?) Just a thought...
www.ew-trading.com

Hi,
I have resolved header name, I had accidentally taken something out of the header.php, also removed footer links I did not want. So just the question about the nav bar ez pages please, if any answer. Thanks!
J.

To remove the gc faq link you need to edit includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/andover_modern/footer_menu_defines.php file.

Yes, it is possible to add the ez pages under the footer menu. You will need to edit includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_footer_menu.php and the footer_menu_defines.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne,
I do not wish to put the ez pages under the footer but on the nav bar on the top (or have a second nav bar under the first). Is there a guide to do this?
Many thanks,
J.

This advanced customization will take some knowledge of php, css, and xhtml. If you do not have this understanding, I would recommend doing a google search for some basic tutorials for these programming languages.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne,
Maybe I have to leave nav bar as is for now until I get more knowledge.
Sorry to keep pestering but another question if you have time (or anyone else) to answer. I would like to put an image of a flag on the left hand side of the header. I have been advised to place the image source in the tpl_header and add code to CSS but I am not sure of where in tpl_header I put the code and what exactly I code into the CSS. Thanks.
Jill.

Eg My image is called ewflag, and I would like it opposite the logo, it is a rectangle the same height as logo and tagline together.

I tried to add the Hide Categories mod to the template, but it changed the Categories sidebox layout. I haven't changed anything else from your template.

Do you know what I need to do to make the mod work with your template?

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Check the mod files against the template files to see if there are any files that need to be merged.

Hello,

I have installed this template on my site. But I am facing some issues. While creating account it not shows dropdown for selecting state / provience. If we enter manually then it shows error and then it shows dropdown field. So is there is any way to resolve this concern. Why it not shows dropdown at first time only.

See images for referance.

Thanks

This is not a template issue. If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Have you checked for errors in your /cache folder?

Hi Anne,

A Great template!!!!!:clap:

Thanks for sharing.:hug:

I am first time Zenner, I downloaded your template and want to set it up, I already almost finished my shop:
http://xiexianhui.com/imex

I don't want to mess up my existing one, so could you please tell me where should I upload the files to? I am using FileZiller and I can clearly see the structure on the server. I also unzipped your file and it generates 11 folders and totally 256 folders and 1778 files. Could you please specify very clearly what folder on the server I should upload them to?:frusty:

Thank you very much again for the sharing and hope to hear from you soon.

Raymond

Can you provide a list of the files you updated only with the new version?

If you read step 1 of the readme.html file you will see detailed instructions including written with screen shots and a video tutorial.

Sorry, but I have not had time to make this list and am not sure when I will have time to do this. You can use a file merging program to find the differences. Feel free to post the link on the thread for the community if you do it.

I have read your readme, and try to follow, I stuck at:
:: Zen Cart™ Setup - System Inspection

Take a moment to check whether your webserver supports the features required for Zen Cart™ to operate. Please resolve any errors or warnings before continuing. Then click on Install to continue

No more info or choice for me to continue.

I have bluehost as my host, the steps I followed were:
1. I installed an instance xiexianhui.com/test
2. Using FileZiller, I upload everything onto /public_html/test on the server under xiexianhui.com
3. I followed instructions on your readme by:
3.1 Creating the configure.php files
3.2 Set Permissions on folders
4. Installation was automatically started after I enter: xiexianhui.com/test
5. The auto process stopped at System Inspection, it didn't return me any result about the inspection.:no:

What can I do now?

Thank you again for your help.

First, I love this template. I am having trouble figuring out how to change the footer to a 3 column and eliminate "Important Links". I would like it to display Quick Links, Information, and Customer Service only.

Your problems are not to do with the template, they are to do with installing ZenCart, you need to post in the appropriate forum as You cannot install the template until zencart is correctly installed and working

One of these forums would be the one to post in depending on how you are being hosted

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5

having said that try setting your database host to localhost

Not really, I already installed Zen Cart with Bluehost's SimpleScript, very easy and simple. I then try to apply the template, and I encountered this problem by following the instruction of the template.

I believe the unzipped template files can be uploaded to the server and then there should be an option to let admin to choose a template.

Can someone shed me more light on this?:frusty::frusty::frusty:

Thank you very much.

I finally got this step resolved. I was helped by Bluehost's support to install database and username and associate the user to the database with all privilege.

SO this step is over. :clap::clap::clap:

But that's the same as a Zen Cart installed without using this template. Please see the screenshot.

What am I missing?:frusty:

Thanks.

This is driving me nutter and nutter.

I followed the instruction and finished all the steps so it looks I should be fine now.

The website xiexianhui.com/test is still same look and feel like the standard default template.

So I am wondering maybe I need to make some adjustment in admin, then I tried to enter admin, I was prompted to make more changes (basically change admin's place by changing its name).

I followed the instruction here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33

I double checked and made sure that I did follow the instructions. I changed it to admin1, so I should go to http://www.xiexianhui.com/test/admin1, the URL was forcely changed to http://www.xiexianhui.com/test/admin/alert_page.php

I got the famours 404 error, please see the screenshot.:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

I am sorry, but all of this has nothing to do with the template. Please post your zen cart installation questions to the appropriate thread.

You do need to rename your admin folder and then you need to go to the new admin url in your browser.

Once you get your zen cart installed, read the readme.html file with the template package and then if you need help or have questions, please come back and post to this support thread.

Thanks,

Anne

My site is up and running with the great help from BlueHost tech support guy.:clap::clap::clap:

I got it, the footer can be turned off by going to configuration->layout settings->Banner Display Group->Footer Position 3, Leave blank for none, then the ZenCart ad is gone.

Okay, I figured out how to "turn off" important links but is there a way to "shift" the remaining 3 columns so they are centered in the footer?

Sorry Tom, I must have missed your question. You will have to edit the stylesheet_footer_menu.css file to restyle the footer menu. You might want to check the support thread for that module since this is a common question and I would imagine that it has been asked and answered there already.

Thanks,

Anne

I have have followed the override directory instructions and have copied the appropriate files to "custom". When I view the custom template the side boxes do not show up. If I view the standard template everything shows as it's supposed to. I have made sure they are set in the layout settings. What might I have missed? And is copying and making custom folders necessary?

I am not sure what you are talking about. The override directory for this template is called andover_modern. If you unzip the template package and follow the readme.html file in the readme directory you will find all of the installation instructions.

You'll need to edit the includes/templates/andover_modern/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php file and then possibly fine tune with css.

Take a look in the free software addons section for modules that re-arrange the elements on this page. You might find one that will suit your needs.

I am using the Andover Modern Template and I am wanting to change the size and colour of the 'Product Details' buttons on the main page.

The file is currently saved as .gif but will be re-saved as .png. I am required to update this in the template files so the new button will be displayed.

Can you tell me how to find the file where I can update this setting?

The line of code in question is:

<img src="includes/templates/andover_modern/images/details.gif" alt="" width="140" height="21" /></a >

Thank you in advance

The easiest way to change the button is to name your image details.gif and then upload it to includes/temlpates/andover_modern/images/

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I did try this but my next problem is that the button i wish to use is a different size, so i would need to actually change the code that provides the height and width attributes to the button.

What file would I need to access to do this?

Thanks again for your help.

The button size will change automatically.

Thanks,

Anne

Ok thank you.

I will give this a try.

If you need to locate the file that contains the code for the button, use the developers toolkit:

Love this Template! 4 weeks of playing with it and nearly done!.. http://www.jabylay.co.uk

Hi everyone!

I've been using Andover Modern for some time now. I see that although my social media icons do work in the footer, it is a very particular area that has to be clicked on in order to access it.

In other words: if you hovered over the image to click, there's no link there. You would have to hover just below the image to click link.

Does this mean that my social media icons are too small or is this something that I need to adjust within the stylesheet?

I believe that this has already been answered in the thread and has been fixed in the newest version of the template.

Add:

Code:

---

width:80%;

to #siteinfoLegal in the stylesheet_footer_menu.css file.

Does installing the sql patch require anything special to install in v1.5?

andover_modern_1_3
php 5.3.8

I get a white error screen when attempting to install it from within the admin screen when I copy/paste the code from notepad

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

Never mind. Short circuit between the ears (I think) on this end.

The patch had been previously installed and I had forgotten about that.

Sorry to muddy the support thread before thinking.

I like this template i was using it on the 1.3.9H zencart then had to upgrade to the 1.50 how ever i downloaded 2 of the templates the Aberdeen and Andover

Here's my issues

1 Aberdeen

the Aberdeen Neutral is displaying in on the top browser in the admin section and the store as well i edited the header.php file to make it say our store name with slogan but will not go away.

Andover

Nice template i love the colors however when i went to deactivate some of the boxes from the side all that it shows is the header nothing else no footer no nothing and i even applied the sql patch as well and even reset the layout boxes and still nothing. and same applies on the browser.

Thanks

That's the site title, which is edited in meta-tags.php.

1---are you trying to add your logo and tagline? If so, detailed instructions are given in the readme.html file in the template package.

2. If you have part of a blank page this is not a problem with the template. Look in your/cache folder and fix the errors there.

Thanks,

Anne

Hello,
No i already have the logo and slogan added i also went to the meta-tags.php and added our as well as the header.php but here is our link look at the top of the browser and you will see it says Aberdeen Hillbilly Electronics

I will also check the cache folder for the Andover.

Thanks

Thanks for the template so far so good..

I was wondering if the product listing can be made to look like a table instead of a list?

Ie- if i select a category it takes me to a ascending order product list
but i would like it to look like the New Products portion of the page if possible?

I am using zen 1.3.9

Thanks

If you read the readme.html file included with the template package you will see the instructions for this.

hi anne

please forgive my lack of knowledge as i am new which i am sure you hear a lot and

but

when i insert the text on the read me file i get a 1064 sql syntax error.

this is what i inserted: and a caveat of other pastes which yielded the same error message.



(configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order,
last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)
VALUES ('Product Listing - Columns Per Row', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW', '3',
'Select the number of columns of products to show in each row in the product listing.
The default setting is 3.', '8', '41', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);

What program did you use to copy and paste? Anything other than a plain text editor such as Notepad++ can insert characters or line breaks that will cause a syntax error.

Open up the sql file in a plain text editor and copy and paste the query into the box then hit send.

I know that there is nothing wrong with sql patch as it has been used by tons (many, many thousands) of users.

Anne

Thank you very much for your template. I have got a nice and working result within one weekend of work, even when I have never built a website before.

I have got the following questions:

How can I disable the gift certificates and is there a flyout menu that will work with the template? The css flyout menu that is available in the Free Software Add Ons has got another layout and doesn't match the template.

You can add any modules/addons to the template that you like. You can customize the template in any way that you like. You will need some knowledge of css/xhtml and php.

Anne

Hello ;-) Yes, you can change this in the css. You will have to re-do the top background image in your new color.

If you read the readme.html file that comes with the template package you will find the recommended admin settings to remedy this.

Hello Anne,

To disable the "Gift certificate FAQ" and "Discount coupons" options in the footer menu, I modified the file footer_menu_defines.php in the "extra_definitions" map according to the code in the file information.php file in the sideboxes map:

// only show GV FAQ when installed

if (MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_GV_STATUS == 'true') {
Define('GVFAQ', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_FAQ) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_GV . '</a></li>');
} else {
Define('GVFAQ', '');
}

// only show Discount Coupon FAQ when installed

if (DEFINE_DISCOUNT_COUPON_STATUS <= 1 && MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_COUPON_STATUS == 'true') {
Define('COUPON', '<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DISCOUNT_COUPON) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_DISCOUNT_COUPONS . '</a></li>');
} else {
Define('COUPON','');
}

Hi.
Thanks for the great template. It has helped me a lot in what I was trying to do.

I wanted to know how to create a custom sidebox with pictures in it. I have managed to do one using the banner sidebox and uploading my picture to the banners, but i would like to do one to add pictures of 'visa,mastercard' payment options pictures etc.

Another thing i would like to know, i tried adding google translate code to the index.php and it works fine but it is at the very bottom of the website. What i would like to know is if i can add this code to a sidebox and if it would be applied to the rest of the website.

I tried to search through the forum but i did not find any info on that.

Thanks a lot for the support.

There is a module in the free addons section that will add your cc payment icons.

There is also a module for the google translator.

You need to delete the links and the define statements at the bottom of the file.
