Return Authorization Module (RMA)

[clydejones]

Well, I took out what I had put in, easy since there are no overwrites....and I uploaded it as original to read all 'returns' instead of what I changed it too.

The box looks odd now, as it only takes up 1/2 of the screen, and now the boxes around all the areas are off

The only changes I did in this upload was to change YOUR_TEMPLATE to funky and let her rip. This time if I use Firefox's web developer..I can see the returns.css....but don't know what to change in there for the borders and to make the box wider. I apologize, I'm still trying to wrap my head around a good portion of the coding concept....Also..the Send button still looks like it's in the wrong place on this screen.

Again, you can see it here.

Would my problem have been missing a 'returns' somewhere in my last pass through the files when I changed all occurances to 'return_authorization'?

The reason I did that change was, I'd like our returns policy to be on the 'returns' page....and the actual form to be on the 'return_authorization' page. Please let me know if that is not the correct way to accomplish what I'm after.

To make the text box wider:

open returns.css find the following declaration and change the highlighted portion as indicated:

textarea {
margin: auto;
padding:0.5em;
display: inline;
width: 90%;
border:1px solid #B6ABD5;
overflow:auto;
}

for the borders, find the following declaration and make what changes you need.

fieldset #personal, fieldset #order, fieldset #write{
padding:0;
border:1px solid #000;
border-width: 1px 0 0;
}

You may also want to edit the fieldset declaration in stylesheet.css

Awesome, showing me just what part to play with...

I changed

fieldset {  
float: left;  
clear: left;  
width: 100%;  
margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;  
padding: 0;
}

to

fieldset {  
float: left;  
clear: left;  
width: 97%;  
margin: 0 0 1.5em 0;  
padding: .5em;
}

That fixed the line issue.


Did I do something wrong for trying to put in the page to be http:// funkymunkys.ca/index.php?main_page=return_authorization instead of it being http://funkymunkys.ca/index.php?main_page=returns...as in should I do something other than change each folder (I think there was one) from returns to return_authorization.....then go through each file name doing the same and finally go through each file with an editor to change all the 'returns' and the 'RETURNS'?

You will have to go through each and every file and and folder change everything to return_authorization

You will need to change includes/modules/pages/returns to return_authorization

You will need to change includes/extra_datafiles/returns_filenames.php to return_authorization_filenames.php
and then change the define statements.

You will need to change includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_returns_default.php to tpl_return_authorization_default.php

includes/extra_datafiles/returns_filenames.php

This morning (on a good night's sleep and a cup of coffee) I sit down and redo what you mentioned here just to make sure I didn't miss anything yesterday. I'm still getting the same issue of the text box being way off to the right. Everything installs fine, however, I can not get the return_authorization.css to show when trying to look at it in Web Developer using Firefox. Would you have any idea, why the css for the page doesn't come up. It worked fine the way it was written originally.

I'm including a zip of the changes I've made. I don't know if you would (or would even have time) to glance at it. I can't see that I've missed any returns or RETURNS anywhere, I just have no idea why the stylesheet wouldn't be loading

Return Authorization.zip

Here it is working as original (returns)

Here's how it is as returns_authorization
