I thought I was finished with template searching, working with Brighton Pets and trying to tweak the colors. Then I saw this Sheffield Blue template.

Of course I'm going to download and test it out. Somehow it just looks so impressive, and virtually useable (for me, color-wise) out-of-the-box.

This template looks like a leap forward, raising the bar. Good job!

Hi Anne!

My wife likes Sheffield Blue even more than the Brighton Pets I've been working on, so may go with it on main site.

Right now I have it on a secondary/test site and see a bug:

On the top level category, the page shows the category page name:

http://www.promdressesforless.us/ready-to-ship-c-1.html

But on the subcategories, the subcategory name disappears:

http://www.promdressesforless.us/rea...p-2-c-1_2.html

Your Sheffield Blue demo also has the same issue.

(I have Yorkshire Clean loaded on this site and I just noticed that it also has the same issue. I also have Hampshire Cammie and it does not have this issue.)

Other than that, installation has been very smooth and after setting column widths (180/185) it looks very nice!

I did note that on older/lower resolutions that the side social box cannot be seen, but personally would not consider that an issue right now.

Great job on this one. All Business I think is the classic first generation template and Abbington Mega a second generation of templates. Perhaps this one is the begining of a third generation?

Great catch! You can change the line in the stylesheet.css file from :

Code:

---

#productListHeading {margin-bottom:15px;color:#fff;font-weight:normal;padding-bottom:10px;}

---

to:

Code:

---

#productListHeading {margin-bottom:15px;color:#444;font-weight:normal;padding-bottom:10px;}

---

I'll include this fix in a future template package update ;-)

I have also released a new and improved updated version of the Social Networking Sidebar module as a stand alone module that you can drop in to use with any other template.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne trying this out for a friend ( he looked my site I have your Abbington template and loved the style ) anyway the add to cart box width increases on the product pages in relation to the the description length i.e. the more characters in the title the wider the box is, any way to make the add to cart box width fixed. I'm using xampp to test it so can't post an example.

If you want a fixed width on the add to cart box you can add your width to this in the stylesheet.css file:

Code:

---

#cart{border:1px solid #e1e1e9;padding:20px;background:#f5f5f7;-moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; border-radius: 4px;}

I am trying to add a shadow around the main wrapper. I can get it around the header and content, but am having trouble getting it attached to the footer. Is there a special ID associated with the footer div that I would need to work with? Specifically, I am talking about the white box below the bottom nav bar.

Thanks. Awesome template!

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

Great template - Thanks!!

I'm just going through initial setup and it seems that the main content area is off-center a bit. This is causing left-hand text to ride over the main content. You can take a look at beadedlily.com/store/

Any ideas what I've done?

Thanks again

It looks like you have not followed the admin settings in the readme.html file.

Thanks,
