My website was ready to update, but someone got in through a less-than-secure account and I have to start afresh...is there some place to see the available templates? I'd like to reproduce what I...

Ok, time to upgrade...thanks for the info.

That helps to know how they're doing it. Thanks.

URL: fiddly-bits.com
version: v1.5.0 (planning to upgrade, have downloaded but not installed newer version)
Duration of annoyance: years, literally

I have not done much with this website due...

Sorry, I understood 'put just the CSS stuff for your home-page-only into a new stylesheet file' to include the css stuff for the home page, not just the different image info. The override system...

Yes, exactly.



I gather what you are saying is to have the non-home image as the norm, and the index page as the exception, but if the 'normal' tpl_header calls the .css file containing the...

My header image is big and for want of a better term, loud (nice colors, nice graphic, just a little too over the top for anything but the first page). I found information on how to change the...

Unfortunately it's not just two sets of colors; there are 'regular' colors I can choose from for most products, which includes red, orange, yellow, etc., and then there are three other sets, one for...

I know how to add attributes and have already worked out how to do one of my products that comes in three sizes, each size with multiple colors available (standard colors like red, green, cobalt,...

Now my stylesheet.css file code reads thus, and looks the way I want it to:

.rowOdd {
background-color: #95c6c7;
height: 1.75em;
vertical-align: top;
}

.rowEven {
background-color:...

In my stylesheet.css in my template folder structure, I have the following standard code for the shopping cart rows with the obvious attempted tweaks:

.rowOdd {
/ background-color: #666666; ...

When I tried to upgrade with my securely-named admin folder as-is, the upgrade wouldn't proceed and said there wasn't an admin folder. Renaming the admin folder back to 'admin' got the process...

If you go here: fiddly-bits . com/ shop (take the spaces out for a proper URL), what you see is based on a template I found online and purchased so I didn't have to credit the designer; all I used...

Well, expletives. Bloody directions didn't tell me that. Back to the drawing board on the upgrade, I guess.

Starting from a working 1.3.9h install, which worked fine, I modified all my .php files and uploaded them except for the admin and the zc_install folders.

I got an error message regarding having...

I've upgraded my site from 1.3.9h to 1.5.0 and for the most part I think I've got it working as it should; looks the same, I can access the admin console, etc. Took it out of maintenance mode for...

Here is PayPal's response to my suggestion:

"The tax, shipping, and amount values are all passed to PayPal and we display what is provided. For example, if a "tax" value of "5.00" was passed than...

Thanks! I will definitely pester PayPal to offer this as I know there's at least one other state required to charge tax on shipping.

I'm using the latest version, not upgraded, and PayPal Express for payments. We've moved, so it's been several months since I touched my site and several tries at searching the forums haven't popped...

Cool! I hadn't gotten that fancy with anything in those files. Thanks!

I'm using zen-cart-v1.3.9h, and have got it working and even got it to the point of integrating with PayPal (tested! works!) - and then, of course, we moved and had to shelve everything temporarily....

JBible, what I found is that you have to be very careful about case and paths and the like and any one of those things can give you grief. Since I had a brand new install and nothing to lose...

I chose to use flat rate shipping because I usually mail very small, lightweight things, but I also want to charge for handling to cover the cost of packing materials like boxes and bubblewrap. ...

There has been only one post about the EZ-pages 'continue' button and how to get rid of it other than my own post, so I assume not many folks don't like the existing one.

However, if you don't...

Haredo, if I do that, what else might I affect?

As I mentioned in my post, I did search for the button by name (and I used the developer toolkit as there isn't any other easy way to search the code AFAIK and I've already done the same thing for a...

Now that I've conquered EZ-pages, I have two questions:

First, there are 'next' and 'previous' buttons at the top, where I want them, but also a 'continue' button between them. I'd like to whack...

What helped when I wanted to single out one element on a page and find out what that color was or the padding on top that made that box so 'fat' was to use the Web Developer Firefox addon which...

After five failed attempts to get my site up and running and looking like I wanted it to, I thought it might be handy to write down my experience and what I did.

Tools I used: FileZilla, a folder...

That is one option I considered, but not finding anything I wanted to implement that requires the use of some things haven't made folders in the proper place for them.

Right there is the problem. If most everyone has been in my shoes, that means that there is not a comprehensive dummies kind of thing to get people past the initial setup and first finagle. The...

Yes, saved it there. Also tried a directory called 'mine' when I was using the .css file from a template I found on the Internets; nothing I have read so far says that the directory and template...

p.s.: thx for the pointer to the overrides chart; doesn't help this problem but makes it much easier to 'see' where I'm going with FileZilla.

I've already perused and understand the concept of the override system; basically, don't dink with the core code, use a .css or .php file to over-ride it. I've searched the forum. I've read every...

Version being used is 1.3.9h, no upgrade. No addons. Have only removed 'Contratulations' msg and modifed main page to remove reference to purchasing manual.

Tried the instructions in...

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll try that again. I might have copied over the wrong files last time I tried.

Once I get that out of the way, I'll look at changing my 'Store' to 'store' or finding...

My domain host charges for e-commerce and because my business is small I chose to go Zen and save the nominal but to my business significant cost. I happened to see something in the forum about...

I've got a new 1.3.9 site, fresh install, no addons, based on a custom template, nothing in the database yet, and I have screwed it up. URL: fiddly- bits. com/Shop (minus the spaces). Note the...

My site's not broken so that's not going to do anything (and I have done multiple times). The only thing I can't seem to make work is the change to the browser bar.

Brand new site (third install, no demo data), 1.3.9, no addons, customized by using a .css file from the Mistik free template with a bunch of cosmetic mods (see fiddly - bits . com/Shop), read...

I finally figured out that when you use a custom template, you need to ALSO make a directory under includes/languages/ENGLISH/ called 'custom'.

I'd stared at the 'congratulations' msg so long that...

I'm running 1.3.9, new site, nothing fancy except I am working on modifying a custom template for my site. So far, except for the 'Congratulations' message and browser bar text, it is coming along...

I have a brand new install of 1.3.9 and it has no addons or customization (yet). I've looked for information on unlinking products, and not finding anything looked for how to link to try to do the...

I have a brand-new install, too. My problem was similar, but the opposite: demo store, no admin.

What worked for me was to go to my hosting server's CPanel and look at the error messages, plus...
