Piccadilly Posh Template Support Thread

forget what I said above... you do have that line on your source page as well... what doesn`t show on mine is the very impressive jscript code for the easyslider... all of it... and I checked... my jscript file is there all intact same as the original file. So i guess the next question would be what can stop a script from even appearing on the page?

officially lost... here is an update

out of desperation I've tried this:

#navMainSearch {
float: right;
margin-top: -200px;
position: relative;
z-index: 15000;
margin-right: -485px;
}

but it feels as if I'm putting a bandaid and not solving the issue... and the rest of the page is still too low...

as of now... problems are:

- mega menu or nav bar not where it should be
- the slider script won't work
- the layout was for 2 columns and now it's back to three eventough right sideboxes are turned off both in the Sidebox Layout and in configuration/layout settings

can all of this really be caused only by a language addon... can the fact that the languages was iso.xxxx and I'm using utf-8 be a problem causing all of this?

Hi Anne,

me again... you probably don't remember but back in January I was starting to work on getting a new site started using your Piccadilly Posh Template. I wanted the site to be french only so I had switched all the files in the English folders to be french and all was well. You however advised against this... I had to set the project aside because of work Schedule... I've been working on the site again for the last month and eventually I did hit a wall which had me resetting all the language files. (something with the shipper integration.. I need to be set in the proper language folders for it to return the info in the language I need... I don't know if anyone told you enough today but here it goes... YOU ARE RIGHT... )

Now to explain I am on version 1.5.1 + Piccadilly Posh + CEON Mapping 4x + Canada Post shipping module... everything was perfect... double checked with Firebug and HTML Validator in Firefox also tested in IE and again everything was ok.

Since then, I created french folders and french.php files... transfered all the translated files in there. Re uploaded the original English folders and English.php files in their proper place..

if you look at the page here: http://aigui-arts.com/boutique/

the search box went into the mega menu

the mega menu bar went down although I didn`t touch my stylesheets since this morning... the mega menu went down and to the right as if it was pushed by the search box which was to the far right halfway between the nav bar and the mega menu...

I've been going through each of the post from this thread and I went and double checked my stylesheets and they are as they were.

What could have happened for this to happen... any thoughts?

Hello ;) I can not tell you the exact cause of the problem, but if you modify the header or add items or remove items, you will probably have to do some repositioning if some of the elements move out of alignment.

I would recommend going in and removing all of the positioning in the css for the header elements. Then you can make adjustments if needed based on their native position.


Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

me again... I'm looking at the source file from your Template demo page and comparing it to mine... am I right to assume that this line isn't relevant to my problem?

this one shows on mine but not on yours:

No, this jscript is only used to make cross browser compatibility easier.

Thanks,

Anne

oops forgot to mention... adding my language files and folders also somehow made my slide on the home page break?

It looks like the jqueries used for the slide show are not being called.

Thanks,

Anne

You must not have the call for the script in the correct file. Double check your define_main_page.php

Thanks,

No, the character set is not causing the problem. The problems in the header are all css related.

The layout is 2 columns right now. You can see it in the module tabs at the bottom of the home page. Your slides are just short on width for a 2 column layout. There are instructions in the readme.html file for using slides of a different size than the default.

Thanks,

Anne

ok... I will try that... can you tell me too if the language and currency header might be lost as well because of that? I've never seen them show mind you... but saw that there were files included in the Template and first thought that I had to go make that code appear but it could be that's it's always been there but lost... LOL

thanks for the help

Thanks,

Anne

as far as I know... the only thing I took out was the text... everything else was left untouched and was working before I did the language thing... but I might have missed something

here is the file

<?php


define(IMAGE1,'slide1.jpg');// default width 550px height 300px /
define(IMAGE2,'slide2.jpg');
define(IMAGE3,'slide3.jpg');
define(IMAGE4,'slide4.jpg');
define(IMAGE5,'slide5.jpg');

define(URL1,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com/index.php?main_page=custom_quote');
define(URL2,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com/index.php?main_page=page&amp;id=43');
define(URL3,'http://www.facebook.com/Custom.Zen.Cart.Design');
define(URL4,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&amp;cPath=159&amp;products_id=148 57');
define(URL5,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com/support');



?>


<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>

Can you say if something is wrong with it?

yes I remember seeing those but they were perfect before the language thing so didn't think to go check anything else...

ok I think I will first figure out the jscript and after I'll take care of that one if it doesnt' get straighthen...

thanks again, you are amazing help
