Hi All

Just been playing about a little and wondered if it is possible to modify the product info page to display the also purchased items underneath the product price/sale, would be in a minimalist way, rather than in the footer like before.

very small image, selectbox, productname/link, and price illustrated in this pick.

Example Image: http://www.elwyns-services.co.uk/ima...ct_example.jpg

I have started to hack the products page a little but starting to get beyond my chopping abilities.

http://www.elwyns-services.co.uk/dea...roducts_id=184

Great template, wouldnt have started without it.

Ok, we'll start by looking at the current source of this section:

<b class="centerBoxHeading">Customers who bought this product also purchased...</b>
    <div class="centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch" style="width:100%;"><a href="http://www.elwyns-services.co.uk/deals/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=180"><img src="bmz_cache/0/0cdc9dca6f09acfceff2ad4fe2eb5bb6.image.100x66.jpg" alt="Krug Baumen ADVENTURER" title=" Krug Baumen ADVENTURER " width="100" height="66" style="position:relative" onmouseover="showtrail('bmz_cache/d/db54b77f193108b1577fa44f2d4005d5.image.150x100.jpg','Krug Baumen ADVENTURER',100,66,150,100,this,0,0,100,66);" onmouseout="hidetrail();"  /></a><br /><a href="http://www.elwyns-services.co.uk/deals/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=180">Krug Baumen ADVENTURER</a></div>

<br class="clearBoth" />

you're going to have to get into the template file for this mod that controls the output.

First, I'd change it so the first line ends up looking something like this (the 'b' should really be changed to 'strong'):

<strong class="centerBoxHeading" id="alsoPurchased">Customers who bought this product also purchased...</strong>

adding the: ' id="alsoPurchased"' will make it possible to style that heading separately from other "centerBoxHeading"'s.

Now, the second line needs the 'style="width:100%;"' removed. This is what is causing the image to take up so much space.

<div class="centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch" style="width:100%;">

If you want the image first, you're going to have to do some rearranging.

As far as making the image small, it seems that image handler is controlling the size of this image? Not sure if that can be adjusted in "configuration", "images", without making other images really small.

Hi Jade,

I've uploaded all of the contents of the includes/ folder to my server and ALL files are uploaded.

Would you know what would cause this template to *NOT* appear in the template directory in my admin panel.

All the files are uploaded, but I'm unable to select the template??

Regards,
steve

If this file were missing, then I'd expect that behavior.

Hi Jade, I noticed a couple of small things that don't look quite right with Apple Zen Template in these two pages: (signed into the cart as a customer)

On the address book page...
http://www.horse-logos.com/address_book.html

There needs to be just a little more space between the address on the left and the paragraphs on the right. Second paragraph is almost touching the zip code in the address.

And on the Write a Review page there is no space between the words: 'Written by:" and the name of the person. Also on this same page the radio buttons don't line up with the rating stars.

How do I go about fixing these issues? Thanks!

Hi Jade - I'm having a conflict with a newly installed module in Apple Zen. I don't have this conflict in my standard template that I use for another site, which is also running 1.3.6. (I know - I should upgrade )

The module is shopping_cart_with_image_sidebox_1.0

With the module-included tpl_shopping_cart.php installed, all of the text and contents of shopping_cart.php are squeezed into the sidebox. (it ain't pretty!)

This is hardly an earth-shatteringly important module but if there is an easy fix, I'll sure take it!

Site in questions is PittiVintage - Link below. (however, the offending module is not installed)

Thanks - Tim

Thx for that small fix, I however have decided to roleback a little as its a little byond my skills to redesign product info totally

I do however seem to have an issue with a few side boxes when I enable them, which are categories and cart, they both as you can see allign to the right edge.

http://www.elwyns-services.co.uk/deals/

I have uploaded enhanced categories mod which highlights the problem more, as I was hopeing to mod this contribution to look like the tabbed horizontal menus.

The problem is showing with or without enhanced categories contribution.

Any thoughts on this problem plz.

Any thoughts on this problem plz.

#1) (categories) Remove the padding for the categories:

#categoriesContent {
text-align:left;
padding-left:15px;
}

#2) (cart) I only see the total right aligned, but to get the total centered, you can change the text align of .cartBoxTotal to center, as below:

.cartBoxTotal {
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;
}

err, I would have to see the issue in action.

OK - I've uploaded the offending file, which is conflicting with shopping_cart.php in Apple Zen only. (I don't have this conflict in my standard template that I use for another site, which is also running 1.3.6.)

Just put an item in the shopping cart to view the glitch.

The entire module consists of one .php file (tpl_shopping_cart.php) which is placed in:

/public_html/includes/templates/apple_zen/sideboxes/

I'll include it's contents here for easy viewing:

Hi Tim

As I previously sent you to Jade for an answer on an Apple Zen-specific question, I hope that Jade won't mind if I leap in to address a question which is not specific to Apple Zen.

I believe that the problem you have arises arises as a result of version 1.0 of the sidebox shopping cart with image mod being based on a buggy version of the standard sidebox shopping cart and therefore carrying these bugs forward. Jade was right about it opening one too many divs, but under different circumstances it could, at least in theory, close more divs than are open.

The Zen Cart bugs were fixed in version 1.3.6 (I believe) and I have reworked the mod with that solution and submitted it as a contribution. Look out for version 1.1 which, fingers crossed, is hopefully the easy fix that you would leap at.
