TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

I've gotten a good number of requests from people looking at my demo site and expressing interest in my template. So I've decided to release it to the community.

Originally I gave a little taste of the colors with my [url=http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_53&products_id=133]BlueAdmin[/url contrib

This is the front-end to that so if you like the front, I'd suggest getting the admin one as well to make it perty :P

Lemme know how you like it. There really wasn't that much to it, just a different tile_back and added some icons in the sideboxes. And a few new button images.

This Template also includes the latest fixed/w3c compliant Better Categories contrib. The entire template should be w3c compliant.

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

downloaded it.. and i see tpl_categories_css.. so it must be included :)

out of curiosity, what program did you use to create the buttons, along with how? also, which font are you using on them? i like how they are set up and would like to make some for the entire checkout process, which of course i'll share whenever i finish :)

That was actually just some table code copied from http://www.clevershoppers.com/ as I was creating that tabbed page per his request so I was showing him what it looked like. Just view teh page source and look for the <table> stuff

Ok thank you qhome. I still have a few more questions, however they don't really apply to the subject of your thread, so I won't pursue it.

So I'll leave it as, I really like your product_music layout in the tabbed mod you made :yes: Plus your blue template is very nice as well.

I really like your design on the clevershopper site. I'm envious of your design talents.

thank you,

betty

Thank you!

To clarify, I did not make the music table. I only copied it from another member's sote on this forum to show hima demo of how it would look with tabs. The Zen-Cart member/owner of that site: Blessisacola, deserves the credit for the music tables

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

Hello all.

I'm new to Zen Cart.

I like the Trublu template, but there is one thing i haven't been able to correct about it that I dislike.

In the navEZpagesTop div the visited links are changing to a lighter blue than the unvisited links, making them difficult to see. I'd rather they didn't change at all.

I tried changing some of the CSS to make a:visited have no text decoration, but my efforts have proven fruitless. Any suggestions on how to change this behavior.

Also, the links DON'T show this behavior on the test drive of the template, so maybe it's a setting within Zen Cart? I'm still coming to terms with the complexity of the admin section (it's not very zen, lol).

Thanks!

Hi Steel Rat, and welcome to Zen-Cart!

To find out which CSS setting is related to the navEZ area, you can download the Firefox browser and install the Web Developer 1.02 extension. This gives you tools to view what css entry applies to which div and that may help you. I never used the navEZ thing so I dont think I've changed anything in that template for it, but I'm not sure.

Do you have a link I can take a look at that I might be able to help you with.?

Sure thing! My sandbox store is at http://infinite-realities.com/zen

I installed the Web Developer 1.02 extension for FF, now I have to figure out how to use it, lol.

Hey Qhome, any more thoughts on how I can keep those links from changing color?

Thanks!

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

The information Sidebox seems to have no break between different links .
It is currently appearing as one string.

Any idea how to divide this

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

Actually, that is a result of me forgetting to include the better categories module files.

I've included it in v1.2. You don't need to upload the whole thing if you are just upgrading a previous version. Only the includes/modules folder and its contents should fix that information box.

Sorry bout that.

Here's the fixed version:
