Sheffield Blue Template Support Thread

[picaflor-azul]

I installed Sheffield_Blue on top of ZC 1.3.9h. (The most beautiful Zen Cart Template I've seen) I tried modifying the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/headermenu.php file in order to change the "About Us" text. The first draft must have had too much text. I received a 500 Internal Error from the server. I shortened the text then no longer received this error but the same old "Pellentesque rutrum ullamcorper faucibus. Nam porttitor iaculis enim, mattis tristique velit tristique bibendum... text continues to show even though that text is no longer in the uploaded file. ZC's Developer's Tool Kit indicates that the new text is on the server in the file I uploaded. I deleted my browser cache but the old text shows up even on browsers and computers that have never visited the page before!
How do I force the update to take effect and flush the contents of the old file from wherever it's being delivered/cached to site visitors? Just a note to let viewers know that I'm having the identical problem with the text in the new user login page which was also modified. The old content of the original file is still being downloaded and viewed though it was changed three days ago. These kinds of pesky problems take up hours trying to solve them.

I would recommend re-uploading the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/headermenu.php from the template package. Be sure to edit the file with a plain text editor and to escape an apostrophe's or quotes you use in the text. Also, be sure to keep the single quotes in the file in tact when editing the file.


Thanks,

Anne

Having issues with the social side bar. After reading the readme several times I went to make the changes and noticed the file you refer to isn't even in the template upload of files to the server:
From your read-me file:
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/social_sidebar_defines.php (this page isn't listed it in my download which came from your site)
However includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/social_defines.php is and the same files are there
/*bof social urls*/

define('GOOGLE', 'https://plus.google.com/113609090217058276980/posts');

I changed each of the above and no changes were made on my site (it is a test site, can't post link)
Can someone offer me some help please?

You need to make changes in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/social_defines.php

If you are correctly making changes, saving your changes, and uploading the changed file to the correct place on your server, the changes will work.

Thanks,

So this isn't the right location?
/public_html/co/zencart/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/social_defines.php

I suppose this is the right code as well right?

Of course the changes have been made in this location and when I refresh the page I still get your URL's.

Hi Anne,
Love this template and am using it live!
(Will send you a link as soon as we have a proper logo worked out.
Our Facebook fans are voting on it this week, and the approved one will be active the 2nd week of January).

Quick question:
I will be changing the color scheme monthly to reflect the current season/holiday using the css style sheet.
But for the buttons, background images etc.. I am using Photoshop.
Do you happen to have plain psd files I can use for those images?
Using a color overlay gives me "off" colors using the original blue images that were included.

Thanks again for all you do for us Zen-Cart folks,
Kathleen

I'm trying to customize the template but I couldn't figure out how fix two things which are the top header of the homepage where I have my logo, I need to reduce the height of the header! The other thing is on the left side of the template I got a white edge of the background popped out of the template causing a malformation and distortion, My question is where in .css file I could fix those two problems?
