Another alignment issue ..

[Erica]

hiya again

I got the other alignment issues sorted, thanks to Kuroi, and thought this issue might be in the same place, but i have altered all the numbers on H4 and its not that which should be altered cos its not changing it .. the problem is this .. i have a couple of read only attributes, one for batteries and one for manufacturer (i decided to not use the manufacturer one as its got a bullet point and nowhere near the attributes and i thought that would be more difficult to sort than the attributes ) .. what i would like, if possible, is too have a list all nice and neat, under the image, which has batteries requirements, manufacturer name and something else (my brain isnt working to night and i cant think what it is ) .. is this at all possible ?

while i am here, can i ask about sorting options, or do i need to start a new thread ? .. i'll ask and if i need a thread just let me know. I know that on listing pages people can click the words product or price to sort them, but is there a way to get a drop down box on there with sort by: and then the options in a box .. just for people that dont realise they can click those words ?

Many thanks for reading

Hi Erica

The answer to your first question is yes it is possible, but without seeing a specific problem, it is not possible to know what is going wrong for you.

The answer to the second question is that some of the listings pages already have drop down sort menus e.g. all, new and featured products. Others, such as category listings have the clickable headings.

At this time the listings pages are in a bit of a state of transition and according to the published plans are due for harmonisation in the next Zen Cart major release, until then, I'm afraid they are as they are.

sorry Kuroi .. i didnt think to put a product .. i was in such a flap that i had missed the link off and was rushing to reply lol. I havnt put all the manufacturers on all the products yet.

Your problem as stated is being caused by the <br class="clearBoth"> tags on lines 33 and 49 of your includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_attributes.php file.

You can solve this be doing the following, but it's not necessarily the best solution.

1. Make a copy in your includes/templates/sage/templates directory (creating it if it doesn't already exist).

2. Change lines 33 and 49 to read <br />

However, a better solution would be to use the manfacturer information already built in and use CSS to remove the unwanted bullet point.

Also you appear to have batteries not required on all of your products ... including batteries!

OMG you know how to panic a girl !! lol
I think you must of just been looking at things that dont need batteries, as i just clicked on a couple of products here that do eg: http://www.costumejewelleryaccessori...oducts_id=2058
or did you see something that should have batteries that said it didnt ? please let me know. As for the batteries saying no batteries required .. i will remove the attribute from those

As for the other things .. i will have a look at removing the bullet point .. but then its a case of trying to move it to the left and down. I'll quickly change the doc johnson items to manufacturer and let you see what i mean.

To remove that dot etc. Add the following to your stylesheet

ul#productDetailsList {

list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-size:1.1em

}

[Erica]

nice one thank you Kuroi.

I have also tried changing that template thing you suggested above, to see if it would move batteries up to be under manufacturer, but it dosnt .. can you tell me which bit changes that. I know that h4 on the style sheet changed the spacing horizontally, but theres no where on there to move it up .. i know i am a pain in the bum arnt i lol
Thanks again

Hi Erica

I'm afraid that when I look at the HTML generated by your template the two <br class="clearBoth" /> are still there in their original form, so there is something wrong with your over-ride. Are you sure that you edited the over-ride file in your template and not the template_default version?

Not to worry though, since you are now using the manufacturer details pulled from the database, you need to over-ride a different file to prevent the attribute text from getting pushed down.

Now you need to create an over-ride file in your template for template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php. And, editiung the newly created over-ride file, change line 124, <br class="clearBoth" />, to <br />.

If you wanted to add more attributes you would then need to get the first change working.
