Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Hey, love the template, it's been easy to customize so far. I just have a few questions:

live site: http://usglassdesigns.com/shop

1. CSS Buttons. Styling them is easy, but for some reason they're not dynamically resizing to accomodate the text labels... I've adjusted the buttoncs CSS file, to no avail.

2. Descriptions of products in category view have their HTML tags stripped. This may not be template-specific, but I can't seem to find the culprit after searching the whole site for instances of "strip_tags()".

3. Is there a way to make the "All Products", "New Products," etc. and the default category view look the same? I notice there's a <div> missing in the first two pages mentioned compared to the regular category view, and the layout of the tables is not the same. For now, I've turned off "New" and "All Procucts" because I really didn't like how they looked.

Thanks!

1) I'm guessing that you are using the default Zen Cart css buttons. You might want to try this mod ( www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=272 ). The support thread is here: ( www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19281 )

2) This is the default Zen Cart behavior for the product listing pages. The product description is truncated to (I believe 150 characters) and the formating is is stripped out.
If you want to change this, you will need to edit the following file:
includes/modules/product_listing.php
after making your edits save the file to includes/modules/cold_steel/product_listing.php

3) Since you've turned them off, I can't provide you with a good answer. However, if you want your listings to look consistent, you could try using the " single listing template " mod.

Wow, that was quick. Thanks, I'll take a look into #1 & #3. #2 worked like a charm already.

Hmm, apparently I can't (see the option to?) edit my own post.

Played with the CSS buttons mod... edits to the html_output.php file caused everything below the header of my site to not load, but it's okay; I discoverred line ~313 in the function "zenCssButton()"... I'll just edit the "$min_width" variable and I should be good to go. Thanks!

I'll experiment with option #3 next.

I am using the Single Template Listing mod with the Cold Steel Template - works a treat. See first link in my signature.

Frank, it looks great what you have done. But exactly what is the Single Template Listing?

Also, what addon is "hey look at this...what a match"?

Thanks!

It is the Cross Sell mod - modified :P - and it works well with v1.3.9

Bit off topic - BUT: these mods work very well with Clyde's Cold Steel Template - - I just love his contributions:yes::yes:
