    Default PurpleShades Support Thread

    An updated version has been placed in the downloads section.

    This version of the popular Purpleshades template has been revamped to remove the additional tables that were in the previous versions and has been updated to be compatible with Zen Cart version 1.3.6. It is more of a pure CSS version, and conforms to being altered using the same changes that are prevalent in other templates based on the default fileset. This should assist in making it easier for newcomers to customise and the community to support issues with it.

    Like the earlier versions of this template, it is also a fully fluid, "full" width template at all screen resolutions. The side boxes can be resized to your preferences but in doing so you will have to create sidebox images to match. This template is a close match to the original and contains only a few files & a full button set with no PHP changes required. Instructions are included in the install.txt file.

    A screen image is included within the ZIP as scr_template_purpleshades.jpg.

    This thread will provide for assistance with issues surrounding this version of the template only.

    You have changed several of the elements and their heights....but did not allow for this in the css. So try this to start and adjust as required:
    Add this:
    Code:
    #headerWrapper {
    height: 134px;
    }
    Change the highlighted values:
    Code:
    #logoWrapper{
        background-image: url(../images/hdr_bg.gif);
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
        background-color: #ffffff;
        height:103px;
    }	
    
    #tagline {
    	color:#ffffff;
    	font-size: 1.5em;
    	line-height: 80px;
    	text-align : Right;
    	vertical-align: Top;
    	}

    I seem to be having a similar problem. The Categories menu at the top overlaps, there is a gap below that and the bottom images in the Specials box are out of the box. This is only a test shopfront and no changes have been made to the template or the 1.3.7 files. http://www.scrapbooks.net.au/137testshop Any ideas?

    At the risk of sounding silly and wanting to spare myself some wasted time.. I need to ask a coupla questions.. Is this template compatible with the latest version of ZenCart??? I also wanted to confirm before I install this template that if I wanted to set a specific table width for this template that I would be changing the mainwrapper attributes as follows:

    Code:
    /*wrappers - page or section containers*/
    #mainWrapper {
    	background-image: url(../images/hatch_bg.gif);
        background-repeat: repeat;
    	text-align: left;
    	width: 800;
    	vertical-align: top;
    	}
    Is there anything else I need to change?

    Okay so now I've got Zen Cart installed and this template appears to work fine with the latest version, but I would like to change it from a "full" width template to a fixed width template, and the change I made below is not working.. I've looked at the Zen Cart how-tos, help and FAQs.. All indications are that the change I made should have done the trick.. What could have gone wrong??

    My test site is here: http://www.divawebdzine.com/clients/silkythecap

    Code:
    /*wrappers - page or section containers*/
    #mainWrapper {
        background-image: url(../images/hatch_bg.gif);
        background-repeat: repeat;
        text-align: left;
        width: 800;
        vertical-align: top;
        }
    Is there anything else I need to change?[/quote]

    Also a coupla additional questions.. (trying to get the hang of these templates.. :) )
    How do I get rid of the ad banner at the bottom???
    How to I get rid of the top menu bar?? (the one with the links: EZPages :: Privacy Notice :: Shared :: Zen Cart )
