Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

[MB1]

Are you using the most recent version of the template? This template had that issue a good while back, but its been fixed. I just checked my test install of this template, and don't see the same issue (http://www.zencart13.jadetrue.com). Can I see a link please?

is there a specific file i should replace on the old version i'm allways scared to copy over a file that has been modified

Do you know what version of the template you're using (check under template selection in the admin) it's probably prior to 1.6 or 1.5. If you look at the download section (link in sig), for each update I try to state which files have been updated. You can also use a compare tool like WinMerge or Beyond Compare
to compare the differences between your files and mine, if you've heavily modified any one page (like the stylesheet).

I am having some graphic issues with our site now as I try and get some products organized. I have printed and read at great length the tutorial IMAGE PREP and done as instructed.

I divided all my graphics up in equal size (each for sm, med, lrg) and added the lrg/med extensions (as well as put them all into their individual folders as instructed) but they still appear distorted..is there something in the css dictating image size maybe?

I have changed image sizes in admin to match the larger image sizes I wanted but nothing is working except for the full "larger" view of the product...Seems like zencart is only using the LRG file name to display all pictures rather than the smaller ones I created as well...


Any ideas what I am doing wrong???
Thanks,
Moy

WOOHOO!!! I just figured out what my image problem was..MIRACLE OF MIRACLES - and all on my own too!

For some reason because my images were all given file extension of .GIF they simply were not being recognized (no matter what size or directory I used) and once I changed them to .JPG it worked flawlessly....

Go figure!!!

hey glad you figure it out! In my case, I used .jpg format but still had the similar problem...If I upload a small photo when I added a product to catalog, even I have the LRG file in the image\Large\product\ folder, when click "larger image", it still pulls the small image. I was forced to upload LRG photos for all new products I added...

Jade,

I am having some problem with "larger image" function in simple zen. When I click it, it pops up a window with only half of the picture showing. I switched to classic template and it works just fine. Here is the link http://www.gloriabridals.com/index.p...products_id=25

How can I fix this?

thanks very much!

Hmm, try changing this:

#headerWrapper, #cartBoxListWrapper, #ezPageBoxList, #cartBoxListWrapper ul, #ezPageBoxList ul, #mainWrapper, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage {}

to this:

#popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

That's the only difference I can find in the classic stylesheet regarding the popup images.

Jade, I did what you suggested...unfortunately it didn't fix the problem. It's funny that if I delete the stylesheet, the pop up window shows up correctly but the format (header etc.) all mess up.

Any other clues?

Aha! I see, that was poor designing on my part. I added a width to the body tag, as well as a top padding.

So, change the body tag to this (remove the padding and width):

body {
margin: 0 auto;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 78.5%;
color: #333;
background:#999;
}

and add

margin-top:25px;


to the #mainWrapper tag.

thanks, Jade! I fixed the problem as you said!

another question though, how can I have two pictures side by side for one product? Let's see I have one picture for the back of the dress and one for the front of the dress. I saw this can be achieved in some other website but I have no idea how can I do it myself.

can you shed some lights here?

thanks!
