Hi,
Just downloaded and installed the template.
Not sure if I have done this correctly, but I have replaced the 'header_bg.gif' with my logo which stretches nearly the whole length of the page and have deleted the logo.gif.
There still remains the image placeholder though which I cannot figure out how to remove. Can you give me an idea or have I gone about this the wrong way?

Sorted... found another thread with the info.

Hi,
Great Template!
One question though and probably the start of many! How do I remove the black pixel dot from the sub category? I would prefer to use just a 'colon' if possible.
Thanks.

This way doesn't really give me the desired effect.Quote:

I would like the dot on all categories but no sub categories.
The result of the change appears to have taken the dot from all categories with a sub category but not the sub category itself.
Thanks.
You might want to set everything back to the original look.Quote:

I have successfully installed your theme and can easily switch between our default theme and Cold Steel.
We're using Zen Cart v.1.3.9h and I have just a couple of issues. I think I can sort most problems with a bit of searching and experimentation, but need your help on this one.
I'm a bit stumped with some errant visible text e.g. on the customer log-in page, these phrases (below) appear and I need to alter them or make them go away altogether. They appear in tables or in white space in locations where I might expect to be able to customize the content and I did search for the text strings and found them, but when I change the texts below, the page fails.
BILLING_INFO_TEXT
RETURN_CUSTOMER_TEXT
SHOP_CONFIDENCE_TEXT
HEADING_CUSTOMER_SERVICE
How do I amend the phrases in such a way so as the page still works?

But I find when I change anything there, the login page fails. Perhaps I am not editing those lines correctly. If I wish to say something other than SHOP_CONFIDENCE_TEXT, which instance do I alter?

Aha! This may be my problem. Cold Steel resides inQuote:

Should I delete all Cold Steel files and folders and re-install fresh under /store/includes/languages/english/ ? Will I still be able to edit themes to my other two default templates?
What is your advice? Which is very much appreciated, by the way!
And should I CHMOD all permissions to 777?
The folder structure of the cold steel template package is the same as Zen Cart, you can therefore upload/FTP the entire includes folder to where you have Zen Cart installed on your server.Quote:

Hey I'm not sure how to do it (checked a few tutorials but not sure if I was finding the right tpl files)
Basically I'd like to remove or shorten up the login screen. I've heard it can be difficult to totally remove the code so if need be I would be satisfied if I knew how to change even just the text under New Customer
Any help pointing in the right direction would be appreicated! Thanks!

You can turn some of those fields inQuote:

The text you wish to change can be found: includes/languages/cold_steel/english.php (line 84)
Other fields, as you've pointed out, would have to be totally removed.
To manny pages, so I could not find a good answer.
Is there a guide available that explain how to get this skin working with multiple languages?
add the appropriate language files.Quote:

Clyde,
I need to know how to change the header you have of "cold steel" to an image I have for my business. What size does the image need to be and how do I delete the "cold steel" and replace it with my image? I would also like to add Interdigital Designs next to the image. How do I do that please?
I am using Zencart 1.39h and my address is:
https://www.interdigitaldesigns.com
Also, is it possible for you to tell me how to install the CSS Flyout Menu module? If not, I understand. I jjust can't seem to understand the instructions they have in the tut section.
follow the instruction in this tutorials/faq articleQuote:

Hi Clyde, did you manage to find out how to remove the dot from the sub category menu?Quote:

how do I show sub categories in my categories also in different color?
for example:
Traxxas (Blue)
Electric Vehicles(Red)
Nitro Vehicles (Red)
Parts (Red)
Electric Vehicle Parts(sub sub category, not shown until "Parts" is clicked)
Venom(Blue)
Batteries(Red)
Chargers
But I dont want to show the sub sub categories until the sub categories are clicked on.
Also, since I have gotten so much great help from you, I would like to know where I can make a donation to thank you.
my example didnt turn out well
Under categories on my site, you see "TRAXXAS" which has sub categories but arent shown until you click on Traxxas.
I would like to display my sub categories that are in Traxxas, under Traxxas , (in Red), on main page as well. does that make sense?
This can't be done using the current category sidebox.Quote:

There other choices for category sideboxes in the downloads section of the forum.
visit my site (link in my signature)
I've got pretty much everything tweaked to my liking (or I think I have it sorted until I get to it, at least), but one thing I can't seem to find is how to change the formatting of the "Categories" and other side boxes.
Specifically the "[...]" next to headings that link to other pages (by default, "Reviews" and "New Products" boxes are perfect examples of this.
The other issue I have is with the text "arrows" created to display subcategories. Right now, there is a "|_" by the looks of it to the left of each subcategory, and a "->" to the right of any category that has subcategories.
I found where to edit the "bc_cat_right/down/etc...." gifs in tpl_categories.php, but these are the last little tweaks I can't seem to work out on my own.
using: v1.3.9h with a modified cold_steel 2

Hey there,
I've been following this whole thread after googling about how to put in the right coloumn. As you can see I have put it in, but my middle bit doesn't stretch quite far enough to have the white behind it.
I've been trying to work it out, and don't want to resort to shrinking my images in the middle and pulling it across as the middle is the right width for me it's just the sides that need work.
Thanks for any help

@gothicat,
You may not know it, but Clyde passed away suddenly, just two days after his last post.
He was such a help to all of us in the Zen Cart community.
We were installing Zen Cart 1.5.0 on two of our newest sites and the customers both picked Cold Steel as their choice of template.
I know that Clyde was actively involved in making sure both his and other mods were able to be used with the new release. Just over two weeks prior to his passing, he was reporting compatible mods to the community.
Zen Cart version 1.5.0 has several minor and major changes.
Cold Steel will work as it is with 1.5 but, we felt we needed to pay it forward for Clyde.
A modified version of Cold Steel has been submitted to the Free Software Add Ons section and should be available in a few days.
Anyone needing the files prior to the release should PM me.

One of the things I did was compare the pages used in Cold Steel to the list of changed pages for version 1.5.0.
Go to yourdomain/docs/index.html and the shrink wrap comes off the manual. You should familiarize yourself with all of them, but items 6 and 7 will help you see which files need to be compared with the ones in Comstock.
I was looking for exactly this solution. Thank you. I would note that when I did an "exact" search using jEdit for that paragraph it did not find it. I found it by searching for part of one line of code, and then comparing to see if it was substantially the same. I backed up the original file as .php.old on the server. Cut and paste the change you suggested, and uploaded the file. It worked the first time. Again. Thank you.

Hello all
I'm new to ZC but thought I would give it a go.
I install this template on ZC 1.51 as I wanted something responsive for my mobile customers.
However I have found it isn't responsive at all.
To explain: When I access the site via a desktop it appears correct. But when I access it via my iPhone (iOS7) it appears again as a standard site and not as a mobile site.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but have no idea what to look for.
So here's what I've got.
ZC 1.51 virgin install.
Responsive Cold Steel Plugin.
That's it. Just checking out lots of things on a test server before I decide on what I am going to make live.
The site is hosted on a secondary wheezy server that has multiple sites installed including many other responsive sites on various CMS platforms.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
Regards
Fred
