At the risk of sounding silly and wanting to spare myself some wasted time.. I need to ask a coupla questions.. Is this template compatible with the latest version of ZenCart??? I also wanted to confirm before I install this template that if I wanted to set a specific table width for this template that I would be changing the mainwrapper attributes as follows:

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
	background-image: url(../images/hatch_bg.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat;
	text-align: left;
	width: 800;
	vertical-align: top;
	}

Is there anything else I need to change?

Okay so now I've got Zen Cart installed and this template appears to work fine with the latest version, but I would like to change it from a "full" width template to a fixed width template, and the change I made below is not working.. I've looked at the Zen Cart how-tos, help and FAQs.. All indications are that the change I made should have done the trick.. What could have gone wrong??

My test site is here: http://www.divawebdzine.com/clients/silkythecap

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
    background-image: url(../images/hatch_bg.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    text-align: left;
    width: 800;
    vertical-align: top;
    }

Is there anything else I need to change?[/quote]

Also a coupla additional questions.. (trying to get the hang of these templates.. :) )
How do I get rid of the ad banner at the bottom???
How to I get rid of the top menu bar?? (the one with the links: EZPages :: Privacy Notice :: Shared :: Zen Cart )

[DivaVocals]

Nevermind.. My client changed her mind, and we went with a different template.. Still need to know how to remove the top menu bar and the ad banner..

Hello!

I am using the purpleshades template on my site at http://www.sonshinestamps.net

I have two issues:

1) I would like the header, footer, and other related links to read "| Link | Link |" instead of "| Link | Link"

2) When anything is added to the shopping cart and the shopping cart sidebox appears, the sidebox header isn't aligned with the header image at all.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I've solved my other problems by changing a few settings in the style sheet but have discovered that I have the same problem with the Shopping Cart sidebox heading. The text Shopping Cart [more] is too large for the heading. The easiest way I can see to fix it is to remove the [more] so that it fits on one line but I'm still looking for which file it's in. Any ideas?

[scrapper]

Changing the font size for the side box heading in the style sheet fixes the overlap.

h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
font-size: 1.1em;
color: #ffffff;
}

Changed to;

h3.rightBoxHeading, h3.rightBoxHeading a {
font-size: 1em;
color: #ffffff;
}

im having the same problem with the banner. The banner at the bottom (which in other skins is in position Footer 2) is being displayed when Header 2 is, and seemingly theres no way of getting Footer 2 off and keep Header 2 on.

Im sure its just a variable which has set Footer Position 2 to the same On/Off Variable as Header position 2, i just cant find it n its driving me nuts! also, if i turn off header position 2, no matter if footer position 2 is set to either on or off via the admin CP, it still shows the "no image" image, as if it was on but with no image to display.

Like i say, its probs just a quick fix to sort the on/off of footer position 2, but when youve searched for ages n cant find it, its a right pain.

Any help is much appreciated, il be keeping an eye on this thread! :)

Cheers

Hello,

I'm new to Zen Cart, HTML and PHP, so please bear with me if this is very basic. I am using the older version of the Purpleshades template. When I remove the write a review button from my product page (using the admin), the whitish box moves up so that it no longer sits behind the add to cart box. This only happens when I have no attributes for a product and only with the old and new versions of Purpleshades, not other templates. I can go stare at the php file trying to figure this out, but thought that someone else may have already done so.

Thank you!

HI,
i couldn't find anything on Control panel to reorder the heading bars. I wonder how should i re-arrange these heading bars. I want to put one bar at the top most and organize the button as well. How should i do it?
thanks so much.

First Let me say thank you again for this template, I have been using it on two of my sites for close to 2 years. I am in the middle of upgrading one of my sites now and there is one change I need to make that I can't seem to locate what I need to change to accomplish this.

If you look at this URL:
http://hotstuffleatherandlace.net/ne...roducts_id=412

The add to cart button and quantity box is on the right, and the attributes are on the left. This makes them disconnected, I would like to line them up, one under the other.. I don't care if they are on the left or right.. Ideally I would like the attributes over the the add to cart button for easier flow.. ie choose the size and color before adding to cart.. but it's not required. Since this is a table-less template I know I should be able to do this with the css sheet, and the tpl_Product_info_display.php I think I can change the order in the tpl_product_info_display.php, but where do I change the alignment?

Thanks,
Figster
