Lavender Template Support Thread

[Tharina]

Hi
I'm using the stunning lavender template...THANKS!
wanted it green so named mine includes/template/evergreen
using the latest Zen 1.3.8
the site I'm working on is www.evergreenparenting.co.za/shop

I want to show a different logo on each language but my logo doesn't show so i've put it in the wrong place or not refered correctly...
I have added
#logo {
margin: 0em;
/* float: left; */
text-align: center;
padding-top: 0px;
background-image: url(http://www.evergreenparenting.co.za/...ges/logoaf.jpg)
background-repeat: no-repeat
}
to the stylesheet and saved it as afrikaans_stylesheet.css
and also with the english...logoen.jpg
and added the images to includes/evergreen/images

where did I go wrong? am I misunderstanding how I should do the custom templates?
I can not find another reference to the logo.gif (originally in lavender)
made it 800 wide...read that thats the limit?? is that correct

ALSO
I am trying to do my own language files and have named it
afrikaans in the languages folder.... the changes I made to the files shows on my website but in the admin it say
MISSING LANGUAGE FILES OR DIRECTORIES ... Afrikaans Afrikaans

is it just the define... 'translate words' that I will have to change or must I also change other more technical stuff?
I will upload it for others to use aswell but can not find 'a list' of what I need to zip and upload. I will download another language to disect but if there is a link to a FAQ that i did not see please refer me to it

thanks... any help appreciated

I realised that my picture was too big and made it smaller
I checked my link and thats fine now
but
I think I have put the picture in the background and not as the logo on top of the background. There is a x with the alt text of the link and logo
also it is now left aligned and the background colour still white
I know this ranks me high on the idiots list, and that you learn by slogging through the problem but please can someone just put me out of my misery and tell me where to insert the logo for the lavender template... http://www.evergreenparenting.co.za/...ex&language=af

thanks

Tharina,

Bad link when I checked

[Tharina]

thanks Kobra
fixed my link... I also realised that I just had to change the

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'EvergreenParenting [home]');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '780px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '175px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logoaf.jpg');

includes/languages/ENGLISH/CUSTOM/header.php

and not the css files as I thought

[Tharina]

I managed to not display the headers Information, Languages, Currency etc. but can't seem to get Sponsors and More Information gone....
any ideas wht I must call it to not display it?

I tried to use the names as it is called in my layout manager of the admin but can't get them gone

#more_informationHeading {
display: none;
}

#sponsorsHeading {
display: none;
}

any ideas please?

[kobra]

Try this

Thanks... but I just needed the Heading 'More Information' above the more information sidebox gone
but in the end I just left the
define('BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION', '');
and that worked...

[Tharina]

I want to link to a page that will also display in the main frame but it must not have a navigation in the sidebox.

so eg. Background or page_3.php (nav) will have text and a readmore>> link to next page (page_3_hettie.php)
how do I add this page other than just creating it in the same folder as the original...
it must have a reference somewhere to open it?

On my Header Bar where you have login and Home
The links display white on green but only half horisontally
and on the rollover also just half of the words show horisontally
(so for instance you don't see the bottom curl of the g)

How can I fix this?

[kobra]

If I understand what you are asking...
You can use page_# to add the page in the admin...

Load it once to determine the url and then in admin > config > define pages > turn it off

Now where you want, you can use an anchor & href with the url you grabbed earlier
