Very nice, Clyde! Super! :clap:
Just a note for you, Clyde, that there's a line left out of
includes/languages/english/comstock/header.php:
// header Search Button/Box Search Button
define('HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON','Search');
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');
Great template!
Thanks, I'll make a note for an update release.
Nice looking template! However after I replaced:
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', '<span class="greetUser">New Customer?</span> <a href="%s">Create Account</a> <span class="greetUser">Returning Customers?</span> <a href="https://mysticmountainnaturals.com/login.html">Log In</a>.');
} else {
with
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
define('TEXT_GREETING_GUEST', 'Welcome <span class="greetUser">Guest!</span> Would you like to <a href="%s">log yourself in</a>?');
} else {
I get the following on the login page: (How can I get rid of the //??)
//Welcome, Please Sign In
Returning Customers: Please Log In
thanks
If I have additional images for a product should not they be showing-up on the product page?
If some has time, would you look at:
http://test.pridepak.com/ZenLevel2/i...e=products_all
and go over a picture/item and see what's happening at the top of the page?
Also as mentioned above, the login page is not right (//) and also does not show the validation code.
This test is a copy of
http://test.pridepak.com/ZenLevel1 just using a different template. The data/stock is the same.
additional images show up on the product info page if you have them turned on.Quote:

Following add-ons were installed before I install the template:Quote:

Thanks!:D
I am not to sure I understand.. If the additional images work in one template and I just switch templates, I have to indicate something else?? Where should I look to "turn them on"?? Sorry still learning the ropes...:unsure:Quote:

One thing you might try is to copy tpl_modules_additional_images.php to
includes/templates/comstock/templates
see if that makes a difference.
It also appears that you are using the "zen lightbox" contribution.Quote:

I tried to remove this jscript from comstat template, but it made no difference.
Yes, it's still there... (I just dumped the database and imported into this site)Quote:

Basic but vital question -
do you have all of your additional images uploaded to your images directory?
Also, on the question of the "top of the page behavior"
in your includes/templates/template_default
make a copy the folder popup_image_additional and place it in
includes/templates/comstock
Yes, all images are there in folder images/ClothesQuote:

V_Neck__Mocha_Brown.jpg
V_Neck_Onyx.jpg
I can see all of the above images when I look in Image Handler..
and popup_image_additional folder is in
/includes/templates/comstock
I checked the view source of your "product info" page and it seems to be picking up the additional images like its supposed to, so I'm puzzled as to why they are not displaying.
One other thing you might want to try:
in includes/modules/comstock
delete the additional_images.php file.
In admin -> tools -> image handler 2
try clearing the image cache
This was done immediately after I imported this db. (Otherwise you get lots of errors), but I'll do it again. -- no changeQuote:

Also try clearing your browser cache.
I just rechecked your site and everything seems to be normal now.
yes, but I cannot use IH zoom ... I will ask in that group.Quote:

nope, the problem is back again (I put "1" to IH zoom small image again after I ftp'ed those 3 files)Quote:

For anyone who encounters the issues I reported - page jumping up and down and the wrong larger image being displayed when you add multiple images to a product - this is caused when you use - as you always should - your own custom template.
You need to copy from the Image Handler 2 /includes/templates/template_default/css folder : the css, jscript and popup_image_additional folders to your custom template.
1 down, 1 to go....
Clyde, what version is your additional_image.php?
I am using:
* @version $Id: additional_images.php 5369 2006-12-23 10:55:52Z drbyte $
the one in IH is
* @version $Id: additional_images.php,v 1.3 2006/05/01 12:20:31 tim Exp $
IH also modifies two files in includes/modules
additional_images.php
main_product_image.php
make sure these files are correct for IH
Let me run a winmerge on both files and see what's what.
I run the WinMerge, but cannot figure it out. I feel so bad asking you most of the day, so I asked the question in IH, hoping someone else would help..Quote:

Not to worry.
I know, It would have been easier to check if there had been annotations about what was added to the file for IH.
Did you merged anything into it from IH version (since it is working in your test site)??Quote:

I just sent my self a Gift Certificate and I don't see anything like what you're describing.
O.K. create an account for yourself on my test site, put some gift certificates in your account. I will process the queue and than have a look at your account. You will see what I mean. (http://test.pridepak.com/ZenLevel2/)Quote:

I just examined the code for that particular sidebox and in several different templates.
But since it will only show up when someone is logged in I wouldn't worry overly much about it.
It's only telling someone that they have gift certificates available in their account that can be used.
O.K., thanks again for all your help!Quote:

The graphics for the sideboxes are set at a width of 150px.
You can set the column width to 170 which will give you some breathing space.
admin/ -> configuration -> layout settings (about half way down.)
The only way to increase the box width would be to create new graphics.

Here are some sidebox graphics at a width of 200px
don't forget to reset the box width to 200 and I'd set the column width to 220.

Clyde, I have a little problem when viewing with IE6.. (http://test.pridepak.com/ZenLevel2/)
The "Contact Us" icon is different size; also part of the footer (the right hand side) is not displaying properly. All looks fine in FF. Any suggestion?
Thanks
I don't have/use IE6 so I can't really see what you're seeing.
The account. shopping and contact icons are all 16x16 so I'm not sure what you mean by the contact icon being a different size.
What exactly in the footer is not displaying correctly?

this is part of the footer (right hand), but with IE 6 I do not see the Copyright line and the top 1/2 of the next line
As for the "Contact Us" icon, it drops the Us on a second line, thus making the icon deeper(??)
If I new how to make a screen shot... you would be able to see it
To fix the contact us problem:
make the following change in stylesheet.css
find:
#navAccount li {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
display:inline;
white-space: nowrap;
}
add the highlighted portion
for the footer problem
find:
#copyrightBox {
margin: -20px 0 0 0;
padding: 0 5px;
width: 20%;
float: right;
height: 1%;
}
add the highlighted portion.
Thanks Clyde, this works for the icon very good; the footer did not work, but I just added 3 <br /> before the copyright and is fine now.Quote:

I want to center the nav bar and footer bar. how do i do that?
The links in the footer bar are centered.
To center the links (Home Login) do the following:
(1) Open includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_header.php
find the following code:
Delete the portion highlighted in red, save the file and upload to your server.Code:<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back">
(2) open includes templates/comstock/css/stylesheet/css
find the following declaration:
Delete the portion highlighted in red, save the file and upload to your server.Code:#navMain ul li a {
margin-right:2px;
padding:2px 10px;
background:#999;
color:#fff;
border:1px solid;
float:left;
font-weight:Bold;
line-height:14px;
text-decoration:none;
border-color:#66006B;
}

I have merge your template with another, for some reason the footer is not showing up in Firefox But its shows up In IE any idea what could cause the page to show correctly in one browser and incorrectly in the other?Quote:

Thanks for your help. would it be possible to send me the photo templates so i can change the color. What is the purpose of the black bar that says "This text can be changed in inludes/languages/english/comstock/header.php"
You can view the template changes here:
"http://www.keepnitrealentertainment.com/
The last thing i need to do after i figure out the broswer issue is change the color.
again thanks for your help.
You can use this to place your company "tagline" instead of in the header. You can use it to place "promotional/sales" text or any other information you wish.Quote:

Thanks alot By the way i love the template i just wanted to customize a bit for me thanks again.
I just installed this template for someone, but the tabbed categories aren't showing up. It's turned on in the Admin. Have I done something wrong?
Link: http://www.kiscoelectronics.com/
just make sure the includes/templates/comstock/images is included.Quote:

Hi Clyde!
Thanks for the quick response.
The image is there and if I make a fake EZpages page, it shows up.
What's not showing up is the categories list (text version) that usually shows up on most templates when you turn the tabs on. Like in the screenshot I attached.
Personally I prefer it this way, but my friend wants them to show. LOL
I see (said the blind man!)Quote:

I have installed the comstock template - however my shipping estimator is not functioning. When you click the button is does nothing happens and there is an error on page..
Any help would be appreciated. www.sneakerbarnplus.com

Also make sure that you have javascript turned on in your browser.
Please note that these files and folders are part of the standard ZC installation and would not be affected by the template.
Hello Clyde,
I know this may be a dumb question....but how do you change the store name and other info in the footer? Thanks for your help

Hi Clyde,
I have a couple of questions about this template. Could you please help me?
- How do I change the color around the header_ bg.jpg the white on either side.
- How do I resize the send gift certificate button that appears in the shopping cart sidebox?
- When I view it internet explorer the top of the shopping cart sidebox is pushed to the right when the send gc button is in it. How do I correct it?
Here is my site http://www.myinstyleboutique.com/shop
Thank you for your help:D
1. find the following in the stylesheet.css"Quote:

}
add the highlighted portion as indicated.
2. You'll have to create a new button (sorry):( The button size is determined, in part by the length of the text it contains.
3. If you re-do the gc send button that will probably correct this.
Thank you, Clyde. I tried to add the #FFC0CB as you suggested but, nothing has changed. I even copied your code exactly and nothing changed. What am I doing Wrong?
try adding the background color to:Quote:

Any idea where I might fix this?
