Lavender Template Support Thread

This thread has been started to support the "Lavender Template"

This is a two for one template. You will install with this template a soft lavender colored template and an implementation of the Better Categories Module by gilby.
BetterCategories questions probably belong in the respective support thread.

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

Just happened by the forum in time to see that you've been busy KoBra!

For anybody else that would like to see the new template in action ... there's a working copy here.

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

To all:

This is what I consider a pleasing, but basic template to start with.
Not at all at the limits of what can be done but then it is FREE.

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

Hi all,
I LOVE the template but am having some issues with my header logo showing up, I'm getting the X instead of a pic. site is http://skin-s-sents.ca/ZenCart/index.php I did have most everything else set up but went back to the default thinking I messed something up. I'm sure this is something simple enough but I'm new and just not getting it. I did edit the /includes/languages/english/header to read either logo.gif or logo.png (I tried them both) and put the pic in /includes/templates/custom/images, and chose 'custom' template in admin, so if someone could please give me some tips on how I may fix this so I can move on that would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

Currently it is seeking this image at this location:
/ZenCart/includes/templates/template_default/images/logo.png

Make sure that the image is placed at this location:
/ZenCart/includes/templates/lavender/images/logo.png

Also, double check that spelling and the case match where you have edited the file and it matches the actual file as:
logo.png is not the same as logo.PNG or Logo.png

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

Oh god, I am a true blonde, it was named Logo.png and my header.php said logo.png, I knew it was going to be something simple. Well, there's 4 hours of my life I will never get back! lol Thanks kobra!

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

Another question...

I'm trying to change the Category Heading 'For the..." from center align to left align. I did try changing various things like adding
[HTML].leftBoxHeading{
text-align: center;
}[/HTML]
and changing the padding from 0.5 to:
[HTML].leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading {
margin: 0em;
background-color: transparent;
padding: 0.2em 0.2em;
}[/HTML]

but nothing is working for me so I thought it might be something specific to this template?
Thanks, Lisa

Oh, 1 more thing, trying to get rid of the Bath Body ...etc in the purple bar under the tagline. What is that bar called? so I can try to find it.

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

I am looking at your stylesheet and I am not seeing it. Where did you put it?

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

Perfect! That worked. I hate to be a Pain in the a** but I'm afraid to go changing stuff when I have no idea what they are called.

Thanks again!

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

I assume you want to increase the height for a logo:

#logoWrapper{
    background-color: #e5d9e5;
    height: 150px;

Change the value to the same height of your image

Re: Lavender Template Support Thread

I have been been using the Lavender Template to create my website and it is excellent. However, I have a minor glitch I am hoping I can get some help with. Since the Lavender Template uses the BetterCategories Add-on I'm hoping this is the right place. I am using a bullet graphic in my sideboxes. I am able to un-comment the line in the categories and ez-pages sideboxes that allows a space between the graphic and the text, but I am unable to do so in the information and more information sideboxes (since the same lines are not present). I have tried cutting and pasting the text from the tpl_categories file to the tpl_information file, but it doesn't seem to work:

$spacer = '';
// uncomment next line to add 1 space between image & text
$spacer .= ' ';

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks.
