Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

[blumcafe]

You can see what it looks like here:
http://www.zencart13.jadetrue.com/

Get it here.

The download includes the buttons, the images, the css, and the needed files.

I wanted to offer a simple and uncluttered option for a zen cart, without all the clutter. Of course you can add as many sideboxes as you want, and can keep the left and right sideboxes on if you like, but I prefer only having one side on.

Complete instructions are in the download. I would not be surprised if I forgot to include a file or two, so holler at me if it looks grossly different when you install it.

Feel free to ask any questions here, and let me know if you need any different colors for the gradient in the header.

I've already realized a mistake in my upload.. I added a link to the wishlist in my header, since I installed that mod, so if you're not using the wishlist mod, you'll need to remove that link. I'll add that to a subsequent post.

I have NOT tested this in IE, so can someone please send me a screenshot if things look whacked in IE.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Hi,
First let me say, I think this is one of the best, if not the best template out there for Zen Cart. I am a minimalist myself and this is a clean slate.
You wanted to know about appearance in IE. Not sure if anyone has yet sent screen shot, but I have one. The problem I have is that the links at the top are chopped off at the bottom, i.e., login, shopping cart, etc. See attached screen shot. I also had question about dividers at the bottom and how I might go about changing the spacing and the font size for the footer links (not the copyright info) but the text above that. Thanks,
BlumCafe

Hi@

For the chopped off issue, see post 176 in this thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=176

You can changed the font and spacing for the bottom footer links with this css tag:
#navCatTabs ul li a, #navSupp ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0em 0.9em;
margin: 0;
color: #666;
white-space: nowrap;
}

The clipped header issue in IE... change the line height in the section below to 1.5em:

#navMain ul (line 290)

{

padding-top: 0.7em;

list-style-type: none;

text-align: center;

line-height: 1em;

}

Thanks again. One more question. When someone adds item to cart, the buttons that show up at top that say next prev listing...........how do I move those to the bottom. how do I move the add to cart button on the shopping cart page next to the product rather than below it and how do I move the product attribute from the below the add to cart button to right below the product listing. I have attached a pix to show what I am talking about.

That's three questions.

1. That's done in the admin, under "Configuration", then "Product Info", then "Previous Next - Navigation Bar Position"

2. if you open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and remove the <br class="clearBoth"> right before:
<!--bof Add to Cart Box -->

That will move the add to cart box a good deal up.

Also, in the css, if you reduce the margin on the #cartAdd section a bit, you'll get it even higher, and if you change the float:right to float:left, the cart will move over to right underneath the description.

3.I would open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and move the attributes chunk up above the add to cart chunk. They should be kind of "roped off" if you will by code like this:
<!--bof Attributes Module -->

so move everything from <!--bof Attributes Module --> to <!--eof Attributes Module --> above <!--bof Add to Cart Box -->

Thanks for the info. BTW, I had all intentions of only asking one question, but got carried away. So many things in my head. Thanks though. Next time I promise to stick to my guns.

Heh heh, just teasing you. Ask away!

I have also been trying to re-arrange the ADD A CART button exactly as was asked above (by Blumcafe) to BELOW the attributes rather than above them...I followed instructions given but cannot seem to locate any php file called "tpl_product_info_display.php" AT ALL...any ideas where else it might or what I am missing now??

Thanks,
Moy

It won't be in the simple_zen folder, because it hasn't been included in my template, but if you go to includes/templates/template_default/templates/ it will be there. Move it to the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates folder, make the changes, then upload it.
