CSS3 Buttons [support thread]

[lat9]

The Delete button is always shown as an icon. You can change the image used by copying /includes/languages/english/icon_names.php to /includes/languages/english/new1.5/icon_names.php and editing the name of the ICON_IMAGE_TRASH (make sure to copy the new icon to /includes/templates/new1.5/buttons/icons).

For the Update button, you'll copy/edit the same file to reduce the length of ICON_UPDATE_ALT; the default behavior is to use the button images of the alt-text is longer than 40 characters.

Thanks. That made my shopping cart page just how I wanted it.

I apologize for all the stupid questions, but some of this stuff does not seem that intuitively obvious.

I am interested in using these buttons on my site, but would like to test them before deleting current package? I am very new to zencart and know very little about it. I am currently in the buttons section of my site. If i click english all the buttons populate. I have downloaded the file. What should I do next?

Follow the install instructions in the readme of this add on and install it..

I'm happy to have helped, Dave. I'll admit that it took me a while to figure out why the "Update" button wasn't working for you, since it's working fine on my site!

@vbe-1: Like DivaVocals said, just follow the instructions in the readme for the installation. You enable these buttons via the admin Configuration switch; your image buttons are not affected. You can always go back to your image buttons by "flipping" the configuration switch to indicate that you don't want to use the CSS buttons.

Hi,

First off, I thank you for this mod because it looks really cool. I'm having a slight problem with it though and I'm not sure what to do. I'm building a new shop and I installed the mod as instructed and edited the stylesheet to match my site. My problem is that some buttons aren't functioning as the CSS3 buttons until you mouseover them including the "search" button in the header and the "send now" button on the contact page. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? My shop is at http://shop.d9s.co/

Thank you!

It looks like you didn't completely install the plugin, since the HTML generated for the "normal" (i.e. link) and submit (i.e. input) buttons is the default Zen-Cart version. Make sure that you've correctly copied /includes/functions/html_output.php to your store.

Ah, I see what happened. One mod overwrote the other. When I installed the Ceon SEO mod it overwrote the html_output.php file. I combined the two files and now it works just fine. Thank you so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it. :)

Since there was no change to the Zen Cart v1.5.1 version of /includes/functions/html_output.php and this plugin includes no calls to either htmlentities or htmlspecialchars, it's Zen Cart v1.5.1-ready!
