How can I add shipping prices to the shopping cart page ? I would like the prices and some other info to be placed below the shopping cart contents.

thank you in advance

Help. www.alovelything.com I unlocked it so you all can see - even though I'm thoroughly embarassed. :)

Is the page supposed to be this huge?

The top nav bar was to be brown. The EZ page nav bar (which isn't showing) also is to be brown.

The main section is to be a the same light cream as in the logo.

I haven't uploaded any products whatsoever. Will that make a difference?

Admcompa, thank you, BTW, for your help.

Well, I've been tweaking -- have gotten the colors about right.

The size is bugging me. Can I get to be the same size as my blog -- http://alovelything.##########################/ How do I accomplish that?

Can someone help me!

How do you fix the this? My content area is acting weird.

It will not space between paragraphs.

http://personalized2perfection.net/i...ce57fea2b68a81

My color coding and link html will not work everywhere.

http://personalized2perfection.net/i...id=4&chapter=0


All pages automatically center...and I can't have that. It looks wierd for some pages:

http://personalized2perfection.net/i...index&cPath=64

I have my banners turned off yet they still show.


I have usps and fedex as shipping options. They show estimates on the shopping cart which I like but when you go to check out only usps shows. Why is this? How can I get fedex to show?


Someone please help me!!!1

I'm a newbie, but it looks like line 177 of the stylesheet.css is on center text. I think this will over ride other instructions.

I'm trying to figure it all out as well!

1. Paragraphs.... you are not using them right. Paragraphs should look like this:

<p>Paragraph Text Here</p>
<p>Second Paragraph Here</p>

2. Links... you don't have them coded right either. You have links on that page like this:

<a href="http://personalized2perfection.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=61_2</a><font color="purple"><b><u>CHILDREN'S BOOKS!</u></b></font>

Should be like this:

<a href="http://personalized2perfection.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=61_2"><font color="purple"><b><u>CHILDREN'S BOOKS!</u></b></font></a>


3. Centered text... you changed this:

#nw {
	text-align:left;
	vertical-align:top;
	margin:0 auto;
	}

to this:

#nw {
	text-align:center;
	vertical-align:top;
	margin:0 auto;
	}

4. What banners? If they are truly turned off, then, they won't show.

5. Fedex issue... not sure, that's not part of the template, I'd ask that in another thread... I'm really not sure.

jettrue,

when you roll over the tabs and it changes to a darker color, where is the darker color image? when i looked in the images folder for the respective colors i only see the tabrightE and tabrightE_last images that are used for the tabs (in normal state). does it just flip that image???

thanks.

[gsdcypher]

jettrue,

nevermind. i found it. they don't flip the move up.

You have been great. Thanks for that. I didn't recheck my coding since it was working in the last template I was using. Again, thank you for correcting me. I must have been learning from the wrong people...

with number 3: changing the coding....this will have the default standard/ meaning if I want centered text, I will have to code it in <center></center> right?

Ashton0603,

 

	
	
<center></center>

is deprecated, this is a posh way of saying that you shouldn't use it anymore. Not because some bolt of lightning will strike you but because it will cause you confusion when coding.
The stylesheet should do all (99%) of the layout for you. If you separate layout from content then you will keep things simpler overall, especially when your site is dynamically generated, like ZenCart.
the logic of the stylesheet will become appreant very quickly as long as you don't overthink it.

 
#nw {
    text-align:center;
    vertical-align:top;
    margin:0 auto;
    }

means: make all text in the div id nw centred, align with the top of the parent div box and with a zero top and bottom margin, but style everything (not just text) with an equal left and right margin.

so, if you were to take the <body> element and style it in the css thus:

body {text-align: center}

then all text within the body will be centred.
Remember though that stylesheets have a hierarchy too, so if you take in individual element or division(div) and style it separately after another rule then that statement will be followed, so:

 
body {text-align: center}
 
p {text-align: left}

would mean, all text is centred, but <p> text is align to the left.

to understand the flow though:

 
p {text-align: center}
 
p {text-align: left}

in the same stylesheet, in this order would mean that all <p> text is aligned left, because that rule came last and is therefore adhered to.

Correct use of the stylesheet will mean that <center></center> as with other inline styles will become obsolete to you (for the most part). Rightly so, imagine having to go through 12Mb of code looking for all of the tags inline with the html/php!

Hope that this helps!
