TB Sempre Template Support Thread

So many great new templates lately!

This template is really nice and the colors are outstanding. I tend to like all or mostly white sites and this template is especially nice looking.

Only one issue: the additional product photos on products with alot are jammed up and intrude into description area (see A Bug's Life Multi Pak) in IE9 and Chrome (didn't test in Firefox.) But I know that'll get worked out soon enough.

Want to download and test right away, looks like I can from your site. (Well, I'm uploading the free version CS-Cart for a re-test so that's in the way for a bit.)

Great job!

Don't know if you intended it, but the Login and Contact Us form field border disappears when trying to enter text. Can't decided if it's a bug or just kind of cool. :)

Thank! No matter how much I check it, and who checks it there is always something when first released!... And you seem to always be the one that finds the issues! haha Thanks for checking it out, I have updated the issues and the demo on the site is updated, and the download on the site is updated. Ill submit the update to Zen Cart as soon as I am able to!

Brandon, yea, I'm often first. I guess that's because templates are my number one concern. I have no real issues with zencart otherwise. (Just tested the latest cs-cart and am lukewarm.)

I understand the issue with first releases.

I have your template on my main site here:

http://www.prommart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=115_116&products_id=6534

Haven't put a new template on it for awhile and plan to upgrade to 1.5 any time now. But I am looking to go with this template. I see so many fashion sites that look like this template and the recent ones by Picaflor.

In IE9 I didn't even know that the side boxes headers had a lavender color background. I only recently saw that when checking in Firefox and Chrome. I spent alot of time muddling in the stylesheet getting the headings to show in IE9; probably took more time than I really needed. I initially liked this template almost all white, but now like the lavender accents.

From the stylesheet I chased down and fixed an issue with the telephone graphic.

My product display is a combination of yours and my long-time table based layout. I saw in the stylesheet where I might have been able to adjust my main pic that was encroaching into the description area, but my table fixed that nicely anyway, I think.

There seem to be some validation issues - normally I like all green pass - but can live with a great template.

One real remaining issue: I took out the footer social links although they look great. I don't really have any social sites yet and couldn't figure out how to just link them to just facebook.com, etc. Also, facebook went to - Jamie's? - site. How change that?

It's 2am and I still have a bit more to do. Glad I'm getting this up.

Thanks for the template!

Oh, as usual, the logo will be the most difficult of all for me....

OMG.....it's Brandon's design....oh..this is going to work out perfect...
I guess I just need to add AJAX image swapper?..or which one?...to get the image swap with the black border?

How do I turn off the Model | Shipping Weight | Quantity on the Product Description page?
(It seems to be OFF in Configuration | Product Listing)

catelog > product types > (choose product type you placed the product under, probably "Product - General")

Click Edit Layout

Find the item you want to turn off, click edit, and set it to 0

Works just fine on the template, if that does not work, let me know and I can help you figure out where the issue is. =)

Sure, PM me with an email to send it to. I still don't know how to send things via the PM here.

Brandon, where are the Breadcrumbs? I see them in View Source on my link below and your demo, but they do not appear on page. They aren't just white text, as I cannot see them when highlight with cursor.

http://www.prommart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=115_116&products_id=6534

I have them turned on in admin as I always have, excluding homepage.

Experimenting with one column layout and breadcrumbs would be helpful for customers.

Thanks.

EDIT: I did learn how to re-enable top ezpages by returning code, if needed

On the stylesheet the breadcrumbs are hidden and the greeting

.greeting{display:none;}
#navBreadCrumb{display:none;}

Now thinking about it maybe I will make that hidden on the home page only on the next release, but untill then you can just remove the display:none

Thanks, got it.

Great template, Brandon, exactly what the business needed. As a novice, though, I get lost easily! Could you send me info on how to change the slider?

Thanks,
Jeff

if you open the file located includes/templates/tb_sempre/common/tpl_home_slider.php

you will see the following

    <a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com/index.php?main_page=custom_quote&zenid=ctr9rh6os22es6g7am3i6j3bh1"><img src='includes/templates/tb_sempre/images/slide1.jpg' ></a>    
    <a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com"><img src='includes/templates/tb_sempre/images/slide2.jpg' ></a>
    <a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com"><img src='includes/templates/tb_sempre/images/slide3.jpg' ></a>

the first part

<a href="http://www.brandonturpin.com">

is the link that they will go to when they click on the image
the 2nd part

<img src='includes/templates/tb_sempre/images/slide3.jpg' >

is the image that will be shown. It is using images from the images folder in your template folders.

First thing you do is create the images you want, upload them into includes/templates/tb_sempre/images/
Second thing is changing the code to match the images if they are not named slide1.jpg. Go to the above code and change slide1.jpg (slide2.jpg, slide2.jpg ect) to the image name you uploaded in the folder (leaving the rest includes/templates/tb_sempre/images/)
And then change the link for each one where you want it to go.

If you cant figure it out let me know, or send me an email ([email protected]) and I will help you further!

Glad you like the template! Thats why I try and create templates that are each unique from other templates.

Thanks for the help, Brandon. Just one more question, my search bar is not functioning. Is this something that you've run across? You can see it at our store, www.glutenfreedevotee.com/estore.

Thanks, again,
Jeff

Looks like you need to activate the header search in your admin

to to

Admin > Tools > Layout Box Controller

and turn the SINGLE column status for sideboxes/search_header.php

That's a great template. Thanks.
I am using it on my new site

I've had the same IE9 sidebox header color compatibility. Nothing worked so I gave up on it and just switched to white header and dark text.
Tonight, I've installed the lightbox on it. Unfortunately it works only on IE properly. Lightbox shows BLANK on all other browsers!! What's missing?
I am using it on 1.5.0

Thanks.
