Thanks Zenners

[chris21]

I may only be a new member, but I have been searching and reading for help with the cart for a few months now, and found all that I needed to know.
So I just wanted to say a big thanks for all the help, even if it was indirect help lol. from all you zenners that had all the great answers and all of those who asked them in the first place.

I still have a lot of work to do, but it's coming along really well and I think it looks fantastic, and it could not have been done without this great forum.

If anybody wants to have a look and give any advice, or just a criticism then maybe I could make the site even better.

Once again thanks for the site itself and when it's up and running I will definately donate a few bucks to the creators for giving me the chance to start a business that may never have been possible.

Your website appears to be down.

It loads fine for me.

Just a few suggestions:

- turn off the ip address display in the footer (it tends to upset non-tech savvy customers)

- don't hide the underline on links. For example, no one will be able to figure out that you can click on the text 'log yourself in?'. (Especially on low-end lcd displays since the color difference is so slight.)

- borders around the navColumns would be helpful as well.

It's working for me now! :)

Main problem I noticed is that you Login page is not secure! have you enabled SSL support?

I'm not sure about other people, but I wouldn't purchase anything from a site that's not secure.

Thanks for your help, and yes the server seems to be down heaps lately and the shared ssl, well put it this way, I'm looking for a new server, one that actually can meet simple needs of a website.
Thanks for the tip on the IP, if I can get back into my cPanel I will change it, just gotta get back in there when the site is up.

As for the underline, I did notice that was like that a couple of nights ago, it must have changed with the Lavender Theme I installed, as I didn't do it. And I have to read a little bit in here to find out where to change it.

Borders around the navColumns, not really sure what you mean there as my site is down again, as I'm typing this, and cant see it. That to I may have changed with the new theme. But I will have a look at that if and when I can get in there.

Again thanks for the tips and I look forward to finding out a whole lot more about ZEN CART

The IP address display is not in cPanel, it's in the ZC admin.
Configuration --> Layout Settings --> Footer - Show IP Address status
change it to '0'.


When you change your theme, you are changing the display of the site including the links .... that's what a theme is ... the display of the page elements ....

To get the underline back, in includes/templates/lavender/css/stylesheet.css, change this:

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
  color: #3d1c4c;
  text-decoration: none;
}

to this:

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
  color: #3d1c4c;
}

To add borders to the navColumns, in the same file, add this to the end:

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
  border: 1px #6A328F solid;
}

You can then change the color to your preference.
