Acadame - Another Professional Template

[testuser]

Hi,
i am trying to dispaly the categorys tab like the classic zen template.
I have set this up although there is alot of space being wasted in the grey area. Does anyone what i have to do to my stylesheet to get rid of this. My site is: www.dgtech.co.nz
OR please see the screen shot attached.

Looks like you've changed the website since the screeny ... did you get the result you desired?

Hi testuser....I did the configuration/layout settings change, then went to banner manager and added a new banner...and nothing showed up....possibly i got a bit lost on the image and image target areas....after i uploaded it via ftp, i should just have to put in banners/new_banner.jpg name right?



Not ready to change it via CSS yet...lol..still a newbie chicken...and i'll have to read up on the override system...



is that located in the banner manager as well?

thanks for all your help!

In the Layout Settings, make sure you used Banner Position 3 and named it something you'd like. Then when in the Banner Manager that you either typed in the new name of the group, or selected it from the drop-down menu if you've used it before.

Don't edit a banner create a new one.

The override system for the language folder works like this.

For english.php you'd copy it from here:

includes/languages/english.php

To here:

includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

Replace YOUR_TEMPLATE with the current template directory your using.

Any other language overrides go in:

includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

The banner for iChoze is in the tpl_footer.php file in your common folder.

Hi testuser,
The screenshot looked good apart from the extra grey space it had, although when i went to the bottom of the page i saw the footer's colors and stuff had changed. I must have edited the wrong section of my stylesheet so i restored it, and i will wait for someone to tell me the right way to do it.

Hi intcon,
can you try this.
Change the scheduled date to yesterday or something earlier than now, and change the end date to next year or something. It might work that way.

it seems to me when i first started i put a different banner there and now it's disappeared....*off to go hunting again*

In your screenshots, on the Layout Settings page you've got, "Dirt Cheap Banner," but on the Banner Manager page it's truncated - "Dirt Cheap Bann." Try using a shorter name.

apparently i have chmod permissions set too high for the banner images...? i set it to 644 and now i can see it...is that any type of security risk then?

working with zen cart is like nailing jello to a tree..when you get one thing going right (security) another thing goes wrong...

thanks for all of your help

Set it to 0777 so that the script can upload images via the banner manager without directly having to ftp them in.

Saves a step, and let's Zen do the work.
