moving header text on individual item pages (works fine on their parent pages)

[irish_1985]

hi all. i'm running v150 and my site/store is here: www.c u l tivatedreef.com (spaces to prevent search engines from indexing this thread)

i posted another thread that was related to this issue, and seemed to have worked through part of it, although i feel some of my previous posts may have been a bit misleading about what the exact issue was.

anyway, i was previously trying to get some text that appeared over a header/image to seamlessly move WITH the rest of the page's elements instead of staying still. i ended up working through the problem (the text now moves with the rest of the pages elements), but now i'm trying to move the text to a different part of the page. sounds simple enough right?

unfortunately there's some funny business going on with the code. here's the way i'd like the text to appear on all the individual item pages, which currently appears perfectly on the PARENT pages as seen in the screenshot below:

http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/ryanpatrickoconnor/screenshot-correct_zps8e16e963.jpg

here's the way it's looking on the individual item pages, for whatever reason:

http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss336/ryanpatrickoconnor/screenshot_zps14d2a8d8.jpg

i've played around with the stylesheet (specifically the area below) but can't seem to get it:

#categoryImgListing {height: 150px;}
#categoryImgListing p {display: block; position: absolute; width: 275px; height: 140px; top: 101px; color: #fff; left: 525px; height: 140px; border: none;}
#indexProductListCatDescription { margin: -200px 0 50px 200px; border: none; width: 290px; height: 140px; color: #fff; padding-top: 1em;}

i guess the main clue with this issue should be the fact that the text appears fine on the parent pages, but the issue is only taking place on the individual item pages? since that's the case, maybe there's something strange going on with a template/code that's controlling the individual item pages and not my main stylesheet?

i can post all of my codes if necessary. also, i am inheriting this work from someone else who use to control my site so please take it easy on me if certain things make absolutely no sense (as i have come to learn, some "code" was used with microsoft word )

thanks!

Well, let's start with the differences...

In the page that looks fine, your block of text is in the code like this...

<div class="centerColumn" id="indexProductList">


<div id="indexProductListCatDescription" class="content">Large Polyped Stony Corals are generally larger calcareous corals with large fleshy polyps. Most of the LPS corals produce long sweeper tentacles which they use to keep other corals a safe distance away.&nbsp; Feeding these corals is common practice and most LPS appreciate mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or other small bits of meaty foods.</div>

And in the page that doesn't display right, your block of text is in the code like this...

<div id="headBanner"><img height="36" width="1000" alt="Welcome" src="images/welcometogregs3.gif" />
</div>

 <div id="categoryImgListing" class="categoryImg"><img src="images/category headers/LPS_header.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="150" />Large Polyped Stony Corals are generally larger calcareous corals with large fleshy polyps. Most of the LPS corals produce long sweeper tentacles which they use to keep other corals a safe distance away.&nbsp; Feeding these corals is common practice and most LPS appreciate mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or other small bits of meaty foods.</div>

I think it is not likely to display the same if it's not in the same place in the (as rendered HTML) code. So the question, is, why is it in a different place in the code in those two pages?

You want it in the header, right? So it has to be coded into the PHP file that is used to build the header. So where is the code that builds this part of the page instead of in the (PHP) header code? Since it displays differently on a category page than on a product page, I suspect it has been coded into the wrong PHP file, maybe more than one of them.

I'm not much of a PHP expert, but I would start by searching for those ID tags to see where they're being built.

Rob

PS
There are still some significant errors in the code which can't be helping. Check in a validator and try to track them down as you're working on this particular problem.

thanks rob. i'm still learning zencart in general, so that, coupled with the fact that i'm trying to dig into someone elses code is pretty overwhelming! thanks for bearing with me here.


i ran the developers tool to search for php-only files, and came up with the following on a search for the "indexProductList" ID:

- www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php
- www/includes/templates/cultivatedfrags/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php



a search for the "indexProductListCatDescription" ID (php-only) brought up these files:

- www/includes/templates/cultivatedfrags/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php
- www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php



a search for the "headBanner" ID (php-only) brought up this file:

- www/includes/templates/cultivatedfrags/common/tpl_main_page.php



and finally a search for the "categoryImgListing" ID (php-only) brought up these files:

- www/includes/templates/cultivatedfrags/common/tpl_main_page.php

- www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php

- www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php

[irish_1985]

so that leaves these 4 php files:

1) - www/includes/templates/cultivatedfrags/common/tpl_main_page.php
2) - www/includes/templates/cultivatedfrags/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php
3) - www/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php

What I would do as a starting point is compare each of those working files to a clean unmodified version of each file to see what was customized. Then compare the customized bits to see how they differ. If you don't have it, download the ZC install files for the version you have.

That's good. It looks like whoever did this used the override system. That is, they made their customizations in files which were then saved into your template's override folders. So have a look at just the folders named (or which are in folders named) "cultivatedfrags". Wherever there is the same file in your override folder as there is in the template_default folder, the override file will be used, so you can ignore the ones in template_default.

You can see that both the tpl_index_product_list.php file and the tpl_index_categories.php file may be involved -- or maybe the tpl_main_page.php. I suspect that's why you're getting a different result in those two sample pages. Either the code that creates your text block is different in one of them, or it's in a different place in one of them -- probably the latter. So try to find that text block code in those files and see what's different. Note that you won't find the text itself, since the text is being pulled from the database. You'll need to find the chunk of code that is pulling that text.
