CSS buttons v2.x

[busyMom]

I was "migrating" my template and mods from a 1.3.7.1 cart to a new install of version 1.3.8a and I've obviously done something weird with my CSS_buttons mod code or SQL. The buttons themselves seem to be functioning fine in the new install, but the Configuration->CSS Buttons page is empty when I go into admin. Does anyone recognize this symptom enough to guide me in a direction to look? I did the SQL patching directly through phpMyAdmin and remembered to make all the prefix changes as far as I know. It's possible I did something in a wrong chronological order, though.

TIA Karen

Trying something DIFFERENT!

What I want to do is use the sliding door method for moving the background image on a CSS button to respond to button state (normal, hover, active).

This is what I am talking about:

I have tried to style the stock zencart button css file, and also tried Paul's CSS Buttons mod. Neither are working entirely.

Ideas / Suggestions?

Just to clarify -- are you trying to upgrade an existing Zen-Cart database with the SQL for CSS buttons, or is this a totally new database where you're installing CSS buttons for the first time?

I ask because i've only ever seen a bug like that when installing the SQL patch over an existing install with a different database prefix. (ie, an existing db called zen-cart had CSS buttons installed, the user changed hosts to one that used a prefix and at some point in their install, re-ran the SQL code via the Zen-Cart patch installation utility)

We eventually fixed it by running the uninstall SQL in the patch installation utility, then re-running the install SQL again -- paulm did a really good job making his code automatically detect prefixes, so it worked out of the box.

My site goes blank as well! The minute I replace the lines of code in the includes/functions/html_output.php file. I am also running 1.3.8a on a test site with no mods installed.

Its been asked before... some buttons are "submit" type buttons where they are actually submitting an HTML form. Others are simply links. There must be something in css that you can do to make them equal, but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out.

This is another problem I am having...

In FF the normal buttons will not display at the correct height. With FF Dev Tools you can see the actual button div is changing height, but the background color is only remaining directly behind the text at 12px, instead of showing up at 20px. The input buttons will display correctly.

I tried specifying a height in the 'span.cssButton, span.cssButtonHover' classes, but to no avail...

In IE, everything is displaying fine.

Well see, it not all the pages that are going blank. The Contact Us Page just completely gets rid of all buttons, and the Products Pages are completely gone.

Also, seems it may be the template causing the buttons to display wrong... I tried a different one, and they show up perfect.

What templete are you using? I am using Future zen.

I was using mostleygrey, then decided to just start from scratch off off the Default Template...

I DID figure out that to get the normal buttons to display in FF the same as the input buttons I had to remove this from the css_button stylesheet:

td .cssButton, td .cssButtonHover{
/* prevents buttons taking the full width of table cells */
display: inline;
}

That wasn't a problem with the Apple Zen template but it was for the Default...

What got me in trouble here (and caused blank pages) was the fact that these files:
includes/functions/extra_definitions/css_buttons.php
includes/functions/languages/english/extra_definitions/css_buttons_popups.php

...are in a folder called catalog- you have to make sure to upload them to the right place and not just upload the catalogue folder.
