Lavender Template Support Thread

[rayray430]

Hi, I really need help with this. I'm so new to this and this is my first time trying to build this site. I've downloaded the template and everything works fine except the home page couldn't load. It just shows the better categories page instead my site home page. Can someone please figure this out for me? I did trying to undo the download figure I probably did something wrong, but I guess it's too late for it. Is there any possible way to uninstall the whole lavender template?

Well I can find no evidence of the lavender template on your site so you have either succeeded in removing it, or have put it in the wrong place.

The mistake that you make was uploading not only the includes file containing the template (as per the installation instructions), but also the index.html file included int he lavender release package.

This is for documentation only, and is not supposed to go onto your site. However, if you simply delete it, it will stop block your index.php and your site will magically re-appear.

Thanks so much for your reply as I have no idea what's going on with it. So, all I have to do is find the index.html file and delete it? Where exactly is that file locate in? I don't want to delete anything else i'm not suppose to. Thank you in advance!

It's in the root directory of your site. That's the one with admin, includes, image, extras, etc folders.

Take care to delete the index.html file, BUT NOT the index.php file.

Thanks Kuroi, I got it! You saved me because I was gonna uninstall my whole cart and re-install it back and start all over. I hope you don't mind me asking you some more questions. I really want to change the template, but what is the right way to upload it into my ftp? Was I uploaded into the right place? Also, how can I change the copyright of my site? Thanks so much! I'm sorrie to bother you.

I need a little guidance. I am using the lavender template and love it! What I haven't been able to figure out is how to change the font size on the links for categories and all the other sideboxes? In the stylesheet.css I have the font set to verdana 11px...it looks that way for my product descriptions and body but not the links in the sideboxes.

My site is www.simetraonline.com

any help is appreciated, thank you

There's usually a better way. I'm glad we found it in this case.

I really want to change the template, but what is the right way to upload it into my ftp?

That would depend on the FTP software you are using. I use FileZilla and simply drag the files needed from my PC to the location on the server that the installation instructions indicate.

Was I uploaded into the right place?

As I didn't see your site until after you had removed it. I am unable to say.

Also, how can I change the copyright of my site?

There is a section in the FAQ entitled "What Every New Zen Cart User Needs to Know". In it you'll find entries such as the one you need.

Hi! I love this template. It will definitely save me a lot of time. Thanks so much for creating it!

Here is my problem, if you have a moment to take a look. About a year and a half ago, I created a zencart site for a customer, and I am now upgrading her site. I am doing the upgrade at a temporary location then will move it over. I installed your template and tried to change it to a fixed width. In IE it looks fine (go figure, IE usually screws up everything ;) ) However, in firefox, everything below the header and above the footer is moved over to the right about 70 pixels or so.

The temporary link is http://mccanney.net/hfb

I have just installed a new zen cart installation and added the header from the old site and a few categories...no products yet.

Thanks so much!

Your home and logion links are slightly too big for the bar that you have put them in and are dropping down to push the center table across. One way to deal with this would be to add the following to your stylesheet

#contentMainWrapper {clear:both}

[kobra]

Looked at the changes you made to this stylesheet and from what I can determine this change you made is the culprit and if you change it bak to what follows you will be ok.

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #6a328f;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ffffff;
	height: 22px;
	width: 779px;
	}

Change back to:

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #6a328f;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ffffff;
	height: 1%;
	width: 100%;
	}

As the navMain is contained inside of mainWrapper you want this to be 100% of the width of the containing wrapper and you have set the mainWrapper to 779px
