Another great contribution from you. Very nice! :thumbsup:

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
For some reason this template is not showing any sideboxes. I was able to edit the CSS to get the top navigation links to show up, but the side navigation boxes have not ever displayed (even before I edited the CSS). Anyway, if you could give me a few pointers as to how to fix this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Every time a new template is installed, the layout boxes controller in admin/tools must be reset.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Good morning folks;
This is my first post in the Zen Forums, I was able to trip, stumble, and fall through the entire install and setup process, but now I am stumped.
I am having an issue with the header. I put in my logo.gif, it is much larger than what the template provided. When viewing the page in IE6 there are no display problems. But in IE7 the logo image is overflowing the header background and overlapping the lower 3 columns of the template. I modified the background gif in the header to match the added height of the new logo. Still no luck. When the page is viewed in IE7 it is almost like the background image of the header returns to a default size. I am very new at this, I am not a css guy, SQL is my thing. I think the template is fantastic and think the color choice was a primo decision. I am using ZC 1.3.8 .
Thank you for any help, I appreciate it and hope to add to the ZEN community once I get into the swing of things.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Sorry folks;
I figured it out. When I uploaded the whole cart onto my server, it did not overwrite the original header background, IE6 autoformatted it, but IE7 was being very picky and followed the commands to the "t". I changed the css px height to what I needed, re edited the bg image so it was not stretched, and retested it, all hunky dory. Nothing like figuring out css on your own. Now some HTML issues with the main page and I am ready to go. Thanks for looking at the e-mail though.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I would like to use your template for non-cart (for now), but have few questions:
in the left sidebox, the header picture/button is all the way left
Code:
.leftBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading, #categoriesHeading {
margin: 0;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
background: url(../images/sidebox_header_bg.gif) no-repeat;
font-size: 1.2em;
}
but the sidebox content picture/button is not
Code:
#categoriesContent{
margin: 0;
padding: 0.4em 0.4em 1.5em 0.4em;
background: url(../images/sidebox_content.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:bottom;
color: #3300FF;
font-weight:bold;
}
how do I align them both all the way to the left?
Also the text in the content area is to the left, so they are outside the content area.
Also is this correct:
Code:
.productListing-heading {
font-weight:700;
font-size:1em;
}
Since I will not be using shopping cart, how do I remove "View Cart" button/label?
Very nice template!

I'd have to see exactly what/where you plan to use the template: (the url for the site)

Yes it is: 700 is just the numerical value for bold

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Clyde, I finally managed to put couple of page up on ISP. You can see what I was trying to say earlier at:
skygarden.viana.on.ca
I am also having a strange problem with some of the "back" buttons. If I'll view calendar event (sample on Nov. 3) and go to Site Map and click the "back" I get:
http://skygarden.viana.on.ca/index.p...ode=eventframe
I have no idea if this is a calendar problem or not...
Thanks in advance

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
cont. (I was slow making changes to my message..)
Also, I will not be using the store option for a while, so I am trying to remove to "View Cart" button (beside the "My Account"), but if you put a mouse over that spot and click, you still can get the shopping cart page. How can I avoid it for now?
Thanks in advance

First: the graphics that make up the sideboxes are 150px wide.
You have them set to 180px that is the reason the boxes are off kilter.
You can keep the column settings at 180px but change the sidebox setting(s) to 150px
admin -> configuration -> layout setting
Column Width - Left Boxes
Column Width - Right Boxes
Second: open includes/templates/desert_noon/common/tpl_header.php
find and comment out the following section of code:
Code:
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
<li class="viewCart"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>

I am also having a strange problem with some of the "back" buttons. If I'll view calendar event (sample on Nov. 3) and go to Site Map and click the "back" I get
I tried this and couldn't duplicate the problem you describe. (I was taken back to the main page.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Thanks for a fast reply.. I need at least 160px for the calendar to fit in the sidebox. I did resize the 2 pictures (sidebox_header_bg.gif and sidebox_contect.gif) - but put them back now to your original size. So how can I achieve it?
This is stil happening, you just have to go couple time into the calendar; I will try to posted in the caledar forum as well.:

I've redone the images for the sideboxes.
Just unzip the file and upload the two images to:
includes/templates/desert_noon/images/
Now go to:
admin -> configuration -> layout settings
Column Width - Left Boxes
Column Width - Right Boxes
set these to 160px.
Attachment 4759
As for the back button problem try the fix I pointed out above and check in the event calendar support thread.
This wouldn't be a template problem since the template doesn't change any Zen Cart functionality.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Hi,
I was wondering if you could glance at this site and tell me if you think I messed up the template somehow.
http://www.fishermansquarry.com
I know I have to fix the header image because at low screen resolutions the words in the header picture overlap the date. I might just remove the date.
My problem is with Internet Explorer. I'm using the newest IE Beta version, so I'm not sure if maybe the browser is buggy, being in Beta. However I've found similar problems using an older version of IE, but not as abundant... Example: the register/login tab would disappear and reappear when you hover the cursor over it.
With my version of IE, everything jumps around. The manufacturers box moves up and positions itself in front of the other side boxes. Tabs and text keep disappearing and reappearing when you hover over them, even some text that isn't clickable, and occasional product pictures decide not to show up in the category listings.
Everything seems to work fine with Firefox though.
Just wondering if there's something glaringly obvious that I've messed up. I'm using zencart version 1.3.8, fresh install. I haven't really messed with the template much, other than the header. I do have a hand full of add ons installed, which I can list if it's possible that one of them might be the culprit.
By the way, I love the template.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

This may be just a quirk (the image is a roll-over and the delay may be that the image is "trying to catch up" with the hover). I'll try to correct this with the next upgrade of the template.

I assuming you mean IE8(beta)
I checked you site in IE7 and didn't notice this behavior.
-
Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Yes, sorry, it's IE 8 Beta 2.
I uninstalled it and everything's back to normal with IE 7.
It must be unique to IE 8. Hopefully not many people are using it yet.
It made the site pretty bad, sometimes half of the the categories wouldn't show in the side bar until you hover over it and then it would expand.
The only thing that sort of worries me is that I didn't notice any issues like that with other sites I visited. I guess there's no need to worry about it though until they release the final version and everyone upgrades IE.
Might be something to report to their beta testing though, to ward off potential issues in the future, if I even had a clue as to what was causing it.
Thanks for the reply

You'll have to add the following declaration to the stylesheet.css
.greeting {
font-size: 1.2em;
}

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
sorry to bother you again... I am trying to integrate the following css to work with your theme (without any luck, so far).
HTML Code:
/* newsArchiveSideBox */
.newsArchiveSideBox p.articleHeading { background: #B6C684; border: 1px solid #B49C78; border-bottom: 1px solid #B49C78; padding: 0 0 0 5px; }
.newsArchiveSideBox ul.archiveLinkList { list-style-type: circle; line-height: normal; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 25px; }
.newsArchiveSideBox ul.archiveLinkList li { background: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
.newsArchiveSideBox ul.archiveLinkList a { text-decoration: underline; }
even when I managed to get the background right, I still had a space between the sidebox heading and article heading.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

without see the actual sidebox on the site, I can't do very much to correct it.

Which colors? text? background? sideboxes? header?
Some can be changed directly in the stylesheet.css others would require creating new image files.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Hi,
I just thought I should post back here about my previous issue. I had problems with the layout in IE 8 beta a bit ago. I've now reinstalled IE 8, and everything is all good. It was definitely something to do with the Beta version of the browser I was using.
Thanks again

You have two options:
1.
open includes/templates/desert_noon/common/tpl_header.php
delete the following line of code: (line 46)
<div class="date"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG);?></div>
2.
open includes/templates/desert_noon/css/stylesheet.css
find the following declaration and add the highlighted portion:
.date {
display:none;
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
right: 10px;
color: #000;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: right;
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height:normal;

It appears that you have some language files that are conflicting with each other.
You'll need to check for any files you edited before this issue happened.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I'm using this template on my site and have been for a month now. It was just brought to my attention that if you try to edit your shipping address on checkout you are not taken to your address list, but to the home page. There's no way to edit/change shipping address.
I thought it could be another issue with my cart, but when I switched templates the problem cleared up.
Is it possible to just delete the files relating to checkout in the template folder and thus have the cart use the default templates for those pages? Or will that screw everything up?
On my template that works I do not have order steps installed if that makes any difference.
Thanks for your help! :smile:

I too am using your template. Love it!! Version 1.38 with image handler, go daddy ssl seal and paypal sessions viewer added.
I'd like to add the Categories dressing addon. I've tried it on my virtual machine and it works, but I have to refresh the page 3 times before the main page actually comes up.
I did read that there is a conflict with the better categories that is installed with this template, but am unsure how to uninstall that, or make them compatible.
Any ideas? My website is www.kzembroidery.com but I have not done the install there as I can't get it to work yet on my virtual machine.
Thanks for any help!!

To remove the better categories mod
open includes/templates/desert_noon/sideboxes/
delete tpl_categories.php
open includes/templates/desert_noon/css/
delete stylesheet_betterCategoriesEzInfo.css

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
It's a lovely template but i'm having a couple of problems.
When i installed it came with a large Redeem Gift Certificate across the top left side of the page which is currently sitting there opposite the categories and i cannot seem to get rid of it.
I switched off gift certificates and discount coupons in the admin and looked for the file to edit to get rid of it but cannot locate it.
Can you tell me which file to edit to erase that ?
Lastly how do i get rid of this New Products[...] The [...] part which is also on the specials and featured side boxes. I want to get rid of it.
Can you guide me to the file to edit.
Thanks.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I talked about this with you i think last week although i'm not sure.
Basically i keep getting this error message when trying to sign up for an account.
Error Is your first name correct? Our system requires a minimum of 2 characters. Please try again.
Error Your Post/ZIP Code must contain a minimum of 4 characters.
Error You must select a country from the Countries pull down menu.
I installed a UK zones SQL patch which has all of the UK counties instead of American zones. I tried disabling the pull down menu and certain features but i keep getting the message.
I tried the default template and i can sign up for an account with that one.
I tried the Watermelon template and i can sign up for an account with that one also.
I do not know what could possibly be going wrong here. Can there be a conflict with the UK counties - Does your template expect to see American zones only ?
If it helps i will email you the store info and maybe you could pop over and try signing up and seeing the fault live and that could help.
I'm sure the UK county zones say they have a default number of 222 yet the default country in create account default country ID says 223 even though it's set to the United Kingdom. Maybe thats the issue where one is saying 222 and the other is saying 223. How do i fix that ?

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I am thinking this is a fast and easy checkout issue.
I don't have fast and easy checkout installed for the other two templates which work and these issues seemed to appear after upgrading to the very latest version of fast and easy checkout.
My other site is still on the older version of fast and easy checkout and works just fine.
Looks like i'll just have to post in that thread and remove the module.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Great news.
This was a fast and easy checkout error issue.
I upgraded to the latest edition released yesterday and everything in the store works fine and account creation now works.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Hey Clyde.
I am getting the noindex, nofollow issues as shown in this thread but only with your template. I can switch to another template and the issue disappears. I edited the file as per instructions in that thread and it works fine for my other site and when i change the template.
Can you tell me which file i need to edit to fix the issue with desert_noon.
Thanks.
I'll be looking at it in the meantime and if i run across the solution i'll print it here but help is appreciated for this fine template.

Ok for anyone else who may have this small issue its an easy fix.
I found the problem was the includes/templates/desert_noon/common/htm_header.php file.
For now i have backed that up and deleted it and i am running the template default html_header.php file and noindex,nofollow is gone from the main page and only shows up on pages which should not be indexed such as the login pages.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I seem to have lost the horizontal box at the TOP of the page that lists categories. The categories are now shown at the bottom of my page. How do I get the categories back up top in the box?
On Clyde's demo pages, this box says "E-Z Pages::Privacy Notice::Shared::ZenCart." I'm working on a temporary URL, so I don't think I can post the URL...

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread

How do I put more items in the desert noon header?
I would like a 2-line tagline and there doesn't seem to be enough room vertically. Is there a way to move up the name of the website so I can fit in an extra line of text? (Less padding at top?)
I would also like to display payment icons over the date. (I've already reduced the font size for the date.) How do I add additional images to the header?

to adjust the tagline:
open includes/templates/desert_noon/css/stylesheet.css
find the following section and make the highlighted adjustments:
#taglineWrapper {
text-align: center;
height: 75px;
width: 380px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 250px;
}
To add an extra line of text:
open includes/languages/english/desert_noon/header.php
edit the following define statement
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<font face="comic sans ms" size=6>CustomBooksEtc.com</font><br /><font size=2>Personalized Books for All Ages and Occasions<br />Add your extra line of text</font>');

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I am getting pretty good at building zen carts now but still teaching myself a few things.
I have set up a little practice website for myself here:
http://www.downunderopalshop.com/
What I am trying to figure out is how to set up a strict info site with no ability to buy anything or to log in. Just a site that people can view for information. But still have the ability to change the site to full functionality with a few setting changes should one want to do that in the future.
In my practice site I have tried turning off everything but I just cant find a way to get rid of the "MY ACCOUNT" and "SHOPPING CART" buttons in the upper right of the page.
Anybody have any idea on how to do that?

You have a couple of options here:
either create a graphic with the required image and then use the stylesheet.css to display and position the new image.
use the built in banner manager to place you image(s) in the second header banner position.

Can you be more specific? My image is called payoptions.jpg and it's in includes/images.
If edit /includes/templates/desert_noon/css/stylesheet.css, where do I put code to display this image in the header? And what is the exact code? I'm not having any luck with this. (I'm trying to place the image above the date; if you get me in the vacinity, I can tweek placement).

First:
add the following to your stylesheet.css
.accept {
position:absolute;
background: url(..images/payoptions.jpg) no-repeat;
top:50px
right:10px;
}
Second:
open includes/templates/desert_noon/common/tpl_header.php
find the following line of code and just below add the following:
<div class="date"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG);?></div>
<div class="accept"> </div>

I'd have to say its going to depend on the sidebox you installed.
If you are using the bank sidebox or the logo sidebox add-ons then adding an image should be fairly easy.
Other sideboxes may require a bit more effort to get the image instaled.

The blank sidebox is good for text and in some cases javascript.
But using it for images requires a bit of extra work to define the images and setting them to display.
The logo sidebox might be a better choice for images since the code for displaying the images is already included. the only thing required is to include the name, height, and width in the appropriate define statements.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Many thanks, have downloaded and installed the logo side box add on.
Installed ok but how can I centre the logo please.

adding this at the bottom of your stylesheet.css should do the trick.

text-align:center;

I' guessing, but it appears that its trying to include the transparent image as part of the hyperlink and that is probably what is causing the shift.

To be honest, I'm not sure.
You can open includes/templates/desert_noon/ie_stylesheet.css
and deleteall the contents and see if that helps.

look in includes/languages/english/desert_noon/index.php (lines 13 - 19)
But I'm guessing there is something else wrong that would be causing that extra text to appear.

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
Love the template and want to use it. Taking the steps to upload to server and noticed that you do not show adding folders to:
includes/languages/english/modules/order_total
includes/languages/english/modules/payment
includes/languages/english/modules/shipping
The tutorial indicates to do it:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=143
Not wanting to add them if will mess up anything - what say you?

Not necessary since the template does not change anything defined in the files in those directories.

Part of that table already exists when you display your categories on the main page.
You'll need to make additional edits using the "new products" "<div>" structure to get it to look right.
You'll also need to style it in the stylesheet.css
admin -> configuration -> layout settings -> Categories - Always Show on Main Page (set to 1)

Re: Desert Noon Template Support Thread
I'm totally new to Zen Cart, so please excuse any ignorance on my part.
If someone needed to add extra text or images to their footer beside the "powered by Zen Cart" message, how would they do it? I read something about editing the tpl_footer.php file but couldn't find it for this template.. Any ideas?
