Image Borders and Tables in 1.3.5

[Redradar]

I am struggling with updating from 1.2.7 to 1.3.5. Been steadily working on this for seven months and thought before I expended any more time tweaking 1.2.7 that I'd better upgrade to 1.3.5. What a headache! I've been wandering in the wilderness over this upgrade for the last month, and I've spent the last three days seaching the threads for the answers to two questions but to no avail.

How do I turn off the annoying borders around all my images? There's even a border around my company name/logo. I don't see the option on Admin/Images.

Now all the products line up in one column to the far left where they once displayed three to a row. From other threads I've determined that all the tables were dropped out of the 1.3.5 version, I suppose for some security reason of which I am ignorant. So now the only way to get the products to display as they once did is to teach myself how to create a CSS-styled data table -- is that correct?

Frustration level is to the point where I want to ditch the entire upgrade. Help!

add this to your stylesheet (which should be there already)
a img {border: none;}

That will take away the borders.

And download the Column Layout mod from the downloads area to fix the columns.

Hope that helps.

a img {border: none;}

That will take away the borders.

This is for the stylesheet.php that is in Admin/Includes, right?

When I add the above to my stylesheet and FTP it to the server nothing changes. There are no image tags in the original stylesheet code that I'm seeing. I put the code you suggested in right after:

a,body,html,table{
font:normal normal 11px Verdana,sans-serif;
}

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

You want not the admin stylesheet but this one:

includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css.

Thank you both. The borders around the images are gone and the images are lining up three to a row (without having to download the tables module).

But now my color scheme is wiped out and has been replaced with a bright pink, flesh and brown motif (ugh!) and all the content is pushed out to the top, bottom and side borders.

When I compare my old stylesheet in my custom template folder with the new one, it's almost like comparing apples and oranges, the changes are so profound. I tried to control the bottom border by adding the old code:

margin-bottom: 10px;

to the

body {

delinator and tested it out by FTPing it to the server but nothing changed. I also tried to change the body background color but after saving and FTPing the file to the custom template folder, the change didn't take.

I am so frustrated. My progress through this upgrade feels like one step forward and two steps back.

It appears that you are trying to "drop" your old custom template into a 1.3 shopping cart which is not going to work.

The fact that you are defaulting to template default says there is something weird going on, either you didn't create a template_info.php in your custom template or you haven't turned it on in the admin.

Maybe you can give us a URL to see what's going on and help you a little more ?
