Hi
I just downloaded your template and really enjoy it! I'm in the process of setting it up and having an issue with the slider. my site is http://alphacreationsonline.com/. For some reason the slider is not working and the images are all displayed static on my home page. before i begin to personalize it I would really appreciate it if you can help me solve this issue. Hopefully its something simple but i've been double checking and rechecking all my settings and cant seem to find the problem. Thanks a lot
Joe

I am sorry about that! I found a mistake in the includes/languages/english/html_includes/andover_modern/define_main_page.php. If you replace that file with this, it will work:

Code:

---

<?php         

 
          define(IMAGE1,'slide1.jpg');// default width 700px height 250px /
          define(IMAGE2,'slide2.jpg');
          define(IMAGE3,'slide3.jpg');
          define(IMAGE4,'slide4.jpg');
          define(IMAGE5,'slide5.jpg');

          define(URL1,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL2,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL3,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL4,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL5,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');


       
?>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/andover_modern/jscript/jscript_easySlider.js"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function(){       
                   
                        $("#slider").easySlider({
                                auto: true,
                                continuous: true,
                                numeric: true
                        });
                       
                });       
        </script>
 

       
                <div id="slider">
                        <ul>                               
                                <li><a href="<?php echo URL1 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE1 ?>"  alt="first slide image" /></a></li>

                        </ul>
                </div>

Now im missing the featured 4 items on the home page, any ides?

---

To add featured items you go to the admin-- catalog--featured products. You can set the number of featured products columns per row in the admin--configuration--index listing--Featured Products Columns per Row. Also, make sure that you have the featured products turned on the home page in admin--configuration--index listing.

I also found the following error in tpl_header line 91

line 91 needs to be <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADING_TITLE_CONTACT_US; ?></a> | </li>


it was
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US; ?></a> | </li>


there is the same issue with the information box but i have not found that yet.

No, you are incorrect. I created a new constant here that is named HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US.

I would like to change my logo size. I changed the dimensions in the header.php but it did not work. Is there somewhere else I need to change the dimensions like in the css file, or the admin settings? I could not find the dimension parameters in any other file.
Thanks a lot.

Follow this tutorial:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=125

it seems that the height and width selectors in the header.php file are irrelevant since i changed them to many different values with no effect. I did solve the problem by resizing the image in photoshop and it worked this time. Thanks again - getting there slowly love the template.

Is it possible to insert a paragraph/bock of text just below the slideshow and above the featured products?

Yes it is possible.

Im trying to locate the tpl_main_page.php file. It's suppose to be

/includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_main_page.php

but its not there did you rename it or move it into another folder?
Im trying to add google analytics and need to modify that file.

Thanks

I did not touch this file when creating the template so there is no override for it. You need to look in the template_default/common folder.

I''m having issues with the About Us Link in the Information section. All the others link fine. The About Us links to a broken link. Any ideas?

This information is in the install.txt file. The first is:

Code:

---

===============================
5. Recommended Admin Settings:
===============================
**Please note that this template was designed to look best when the ezpages in header and category tabs in header are turned off**

To make your site look like the demo:

A.  In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Configuration" then "Product Listing"

Copy the values from:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/images/andover_modern/product_listing.png

B. In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Configuration" then "Layout Settings"

Copy the values from:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/images/andover_modern/layout_settings.png

---

The second is:

Code:

---

=======================================
8. Customizing the home page slideshow:
=======================================

A.  Create your images for the slideshow.  The demo slideshow image dimensions are 700 pixels by 250 pixels.  You can use any size image that you like, but if your images are not 700 x 250, you will have to edit the css file (see instructions below).  It will look best if all images are the same height and width.  The default slide show is set for 5 images, but you can have more or less. 

B.  Upload your images to the /includes/templates/andover_modern/images folder.

C.  Add the images to the slide show.

In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Tools" then "Define Pages Editor"

Select define_main_page.php from the drop down menu.  Make sure that the Text Editor drop down is set to "Plain Text".

You will see:

          define(IMAGE1,'slide1.jpg');// default width 700px height 250px /
          define(IMAGE2,'slide2.jpg');
          define(IMAGE3,'slide3.jpg');
          define(IMAGE4,'slide4.jpg');
          define(IMAGE5,'slide5.jpg');

Replace slide1.jpg, etc. with the name of your image(s).

----------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for using images that are not 700 x 250pixels.
-------------------------------

Follow instructions A., B., and C. above.

Go to:

includes/templates/andover_modern/css/stylesheet.css

Find line 218 and change the width and height to your needs.

Line 220 will change the position of the slider buttons if you need to do this.
----------------------------------------------------------

D.  Add the link urls to the images.

 In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Tools" then "Define Pages Editor"

Select define_main_page.php from the drop down menu.  Make sure that the Text Editor drop down is set to "Plain Text".

You will see:

          define(URL1,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL2,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL3,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL4,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
          define(URL5,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');

Replace http://www.example.com with your link url.

----------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for using more or less than 5 images
--------------------------
In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Tools" then "Define Pages Editor"

Select define_main_page.php from the drop down menu.  Make sure that the Text Editor drop down is set to "Plain Text".

You will see:

<div id="slider">
        <ul>                               
                <li><a href="<?php echo URL1 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE1 ?>"  alt="first slide image" /></a></li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo URL2 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE2 ?>"  alt="second slide image" /></a></li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo URL3 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE3 ?>"  alt="third slide image" /></a></li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo URL4 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE4 ?>"  alt="fourth slide image" /></a></li>
                <li><a href="<?php echo URL5 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE5 ?>"  alt="fifth slide image" /></a></li>
              </ul>
</div>       

For less images, remove code from <li> to </li>.  You want the number of <li> to equal the number of images you have.  So if you have 3 images, you will remove 2 <li> to </li>.

For more images, add on a new <li> using the next number in sequence, for example image 6 would be:

                <li><a href="<?php echo URL6 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE6 ?>"  alt="sixth slide image" /></a></li>

Then add a line to define code above:
define(IMAGE6,'slide6.jpg');

and:

define(URL6,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');

Do this for each additional image you want.

Then go to:

includes/templates/andover_modern/css/stylesheet.css

line 220 and adjust the width so that all of the ol's show on one line.

----------------------------------------------------------

thanks, found it, it was my lightbox mod causing the issue.

new problem is the slide on the main page, not showing, and i cant seem to locate the tpl.main_page file either

Thanks for the reply to my impatient post... Played all do and now have it up running (locally) on a shiny new h version of Zen.

One problem: my search does not work... ie I get no results!

I have connected into my original DB once the template was installed sucesfully and everything is working but the search.

Just a minor thing... On your site I see the "Previous" "Listing" "Next" you have a gap between them.. I dont... the are nested against each other (not overlapping)

Thanks

I did not change the tpl_main_page.php to there is no override for it. It is in the template_default directory. See this article:

This may not work until the site is live. This is definitely not a template problem, see the live demo:

This is a ie bug. Create an ie specific stylesheet for the version of ie that you are using and add in a style override. Ie6 and ie7 stylesheets are already included.

dealman876--I do not see the slider code on your home page so that is why it is not showing. You need to be sure to upload all of the template files especially the includes/languages/english/ html_includes/andover_modern/define_main_page.php

This is not a problem with the template. I would recommend contacting the author of the script for support.

This was a problem for many of us. The main_page was incorrect. Copy and paste this is the new code. I guess when they find mistakes they don't make a new upload you have to search on the forum. I know it can suck if it's a lot of post.

I keep a list of any bugs found and do post updates to the template packages. Since this template was just approved, I will wait a while before submiting an update so as to not be so bothersome to the good person in charge of approving the contributions.

I love this template but I do believe I found a slight problem. Its in the packaging. I believe the about-us page is in the \includes\extra_definitions file folder and it should be /includes/extra_datafiles.

New Question? How do you center the footer and take out the last vertical line? Since I will not need the extra link it's off center. Thanks!!

"This is a ie bug. Create an ie specific stylesheet for the version of ie that you are using and add in a style override. Ie6 and ie7 stylesheets are already included."

Sorry dont know how to quote:

How do I do this?

On my product listing page I now get "showing products 1 - 4 Bu nothing is displayed in this area. It used to on the 'g' but not on this 'h' version.

Also in 'Product Listing' settings I have no option to set 'Layout Style' could this be the cause?

If I switch to the Zen template then all displays ok INCLUDING the search facility. Problems are only on this template selection.

Rizla--Your problems are not caused by the template. Everything works fine on the demo:

If you read the install.txt file:

Code:

2. SQL File for Column Layout Grid Module (Optional)

Run the following SQL commands into your database.
The easiest way is to open Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patch and paste them in the box and click Send.

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value,
      configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order,
      last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function)

                or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)', '8', '40', NULL,
                now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'rows\', \'columns\'),');

kauai--I would re-install the about us page module:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=182

Be sure to follow the installation instructions in the module package.

Thanks I will give it a shot.

But as I looked at some of the pages that were listed here by others, it showed that their link to the about us page is messed up too.

I love this template but I do believe I found a slight problem. Its in the packaging. I believe the about-us page is in the \includes\extra_definitions file folder and it should be /includes/extra_datafiles.

I am sorry, I missed this post. You are absolutely correct. If you move the includes/extra_definitions/about_us_filenames.php and move it to includes/extra_datafiles/about_us_filenames.php all should be fixed.

I am working on a new package to submit with the bug fixes incldued.

I can not help you without a link to your site to see what is happening.

I just posted an update to the template package.

11/17/2010-------Fixed wrong path name for javascript in define_main_page.php, moved about_us_filenames.php to correct directory, fixed wrong path name in twitter and facebook links in footer, fixed ie6 and ie7 spacing bug with prev, listing, next on product info page.

Hopefully it will be approved and ready for download soon!

Just to let you know I finally tracked tha problem down to a DB error. Must have been a mod I added.

All is working now but for two small problems which I can't seem to rectify:
I have "privacy notice" top left (just above catagories) need to turn off.

Also I have cross-sell 1-3-1 installed and related products..... All show in Admin and setting are made but not displying on product page. Is there a switch I have missed?

Thanks

I am adding more pages so I'm using the 'more information' Page 2 etc. I can get the information the only problem I'm having is changing the name Page ? to something else. Question: How do I change the name because I tried changing the file name and that doesn't help?:lamo:

Hello :smile: Although I don't mind helping out, this thread really is for template related bugs/questions. A simple search on the forum would help you find the answers to your questions.

I hope the updated version of your template will be available soon. My site's in French - I imagine it will be a big job translating it !

PS : when I attempt to open a button image (I've downloaded the existing version just to have a look) in order to edit it, I can't actually open it, I get "an unknown file type" message. Why ?

You can download the updated version from my web site if you don't want to wait for the zen cart approval :smile:

Well, I can't open them in Fireworks or Photoshop. Did you make them in Apple format ? Perhaps that's why I can't open them and if I can't open them, I can't translate them !

There is something strange going on with your image manipulation programs. It is not a problem with the button formats.

No as the problem only happens when I try to open .gif files in your templates, nobody else's ! Anyway, I'll need the original .png files in order to translate the text in the images. I hope this is not asking too much... Many thanks !

There are no other images that need to be translated except for the buttons and I already posted a png of a blank button? Also, there is nothing different about the format of the gifs I have used in my templates.

Hi

great template, I am currently implementing this template on my site. I wanted to use the Lightbox feature, I had it on the previous template i was using.

I've just tried installing the updated version (slimbox) to the template and am getting some errors.

the template and the slimbox both have the following file below, and I have tried to merge them. But now the slide show does not work on the homepage, each image is shown seperately.

includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\html_header.php

I have not yet gone live with the template, as I want to resolve some of these issues first. BTW this template looks very clean!!:clap:

There is no reason why the template would not work with the lightbox module. You have made a mistake in merging the html_header.php files.

Without a link to your site I can not help you trouble shoot the slider. It sounds like the javasript is not being called, so check the path name to it in the define_main_page.php

Let me first say Thanks! to you, Your free Zen Cart Templates are GREAT!

I am not a computer guy, I know just enough to screw things up, But your instructions where Right to the point and I had no problem with the install.

I actually have two questions, the first:

On the index page I have “Featured” Products showing in the middle of the page.
3 columns, 3 Rows – 9 products.
What I noticed is with the column on the left, All of the "Product Detail" buttons are higher than the other 2 columns.
I have looked everywhere to find some kind of setting to fix this, but to no avail.
I’m thinking it is an easy fix, for someone who knows..

My second question is:

There is a sidebox in the left column named "Sponsors", that contains a Zen Cart banner. How do I change the name "Sponsors", to something else like, "Auctions"? I want to use the sidebox to display a banner link to my auction items.

Here is the link to my site: www.houstonjewel.com

Any help from anyone is appreciated.
Thanks!

I've put the html_header.php file back to the one with your template. now what should i do with the file from the slim box module add on?

This is happening because some of your product titles are 2 lines long and some are 3 ilnes long. If you want everything to look uniform, you should make your product titles all the same length.

You need to upload the html_header.php file that came with the lightbox module and then add these lines to the end of the file before the </head> tag:

Code:

---

<!--[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="includes/templates/andover_modern/css/ie6.css" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="includes/templates/andover_modern/css/ie7.css" /><![endif]-->

Thanks for the response, I thought that it was something easy.
Love the template.

I would like to remove some sections under the information category and add some of my own. I'm having a hard time locating a tutorial for this. If not too much can you paste a link on modifying the information section.
Thanks

Just FYI - I'm having the same issue as petek. I work in Windows 7 and I'm using Photoshop CS2 and receive a parsing error when attempting to open the button gifs. Even trying to view the individual gifs in IE8 gives me a broken image. If I rename the file to a png extension I can open them in PS.

I'm making my own versions of the buttons, so it's not really a problem for me, but you may want to double check the button files. For some reason they show up fine when the template is live in the browser, but individually they don't. I've never seen an error like this.

I have not been able to reproduce this problem. There is nothing unusual or special about the button set--they are just gifs. I am looking at the add to cart button right now in ie8?

Like I said, it's just a bizarre error. It's almost like something saved them with a gif extension but a png file compression. It will probably always look fine on your computer because you're the one that generated the original files. I just thought you should be aware that it's not an isolated problem. I've been a graphic artist and used Photoshop for 15 years, and I've never quite seen anything like this before. It's odd that renaming the files to png fixes the parse error.

There really is no problem as I have posted a blank button to the thread for those who want to edit the buttons and there is no problem with the buttons showing in the template.

The update has been approved and is now available in the "Free Software Add Ons" section.

Sorry for being dim, but could I ask:

I have made the changes listed in this thread as we went along. I have also made some changes within the software so if I overwrite with the updated template will this meand I have to make my changes again? Guess so.

So the ONLY thing I did not pick up on was the "wrong Facebook & Twitter" url as stated further up the thread.

Not as yet being a user of either, but intend to make use of them, what changes do I need to make for this part only?

Assuming I will not be missing out on anything else by staying with what I have at present.

Thanks

For these links you need edit the includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_footer_menu.php file.

find:

Code:

---

<span id="social-media"

---

You will need to change the path of the images to:

Code:

---

<a href="<?php echo TWITTER; ?>"><img src="includes/templates/andover_modern/images/twitter.png" class="twitter-image"  alt="twitter link" /></a>
<a href="<?php echo FACEBOOK; ?>"><img src="includes/templates/andover_modern/images/facebook.png" class="facebook-image"  alt="facebook link" /></a>

---

Thanks for that... Got it all working.
Because I have a lot of attributes, I have moved the "add to cart" code below the "review" section.

All looks well unless I have "related products" showing and then the "like, tweet & share" icans fall half way into the dotted line and looks messy.

I looked in the css file but I can't see anything that will help.

Any suggestions?

It looks to me like you have your value for specials to show per page set at 9. Try to adjust this in Admin - Products Listing- Number Per Page.

I appreciate your help but I do not see the number per page you are talking about.

Admin>Configuration>Maximum Values>Products on Special

The problem is the jscript_easySlider.js is being loaded before the jscript_jquery.js file hence the error

to solve this I copied the contents of the jscript_easySlider.js file into a new file (you need the enclose it within the script tag ie <script>contents of the jscript_easySlider.js</script> name this new file jscript_easySlider.php and upload it to /includes/modules/pages/index
Now go back and delete the original jscript_easySlider.js from includes/templates/yourtemplate/jscript
It sould now work without any errors as the jscript_jquery.js is now loading first

I hope this helps

I did cross browser testing for ie6, ie7, ie8, firefox, opera, safari, and chrome. The template will show perfectly in all of these browsers if you have not changed anything and are using the layout as seen in the demo:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-de...andover_modern

If you have made any modifications or are not using the default layout then you will have to do cross browser testing again.

Love this template! Thank you for offering it to the community. :)

Like some others, I too get the 'Done, but with errors' issue when viewing it in IE. I noticed the same thing with your demo versions. I temporarily removed the slider from the homepage but still had the same error message.

I tried the fix suggested in the "All Business" template support thread in THIS POST but I must not have done it in the correct file because it didn't correct the issue.

In that thread you stated you planned to add the fix to the next release of that template, so I was hoping you could help.

Can you tell me where/how exactly this change needs to be made?

Thanks!

This template is designed as a 2 column layout. If you want to convert it to a 3 column layout you will have to add the styles. See the install.txt for all of the recommended admin settings to make the template look exactly like the demo.

I did follow the instructions (which were a bit vague) in that post. As I said in my post, either I didn't do them correctly or it wasn't the fix because it did not work.

I notice your design website appears to have a very similar template and the same slider, but doesn't have this issue. How did you resolve the problem?
