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

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:

<?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>
				<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>
			
		

I will update the template package in a bit.

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/index.php?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
Joe

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?
