Ocean Front Template Support Thread

Amy,

This doesn't involve CSS at all.

open includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

select the sidebox you want to have a clickable header find the following and change the setting to true.

$title_link = false;

You can do for each sidebox you with to change.

Actually I have changed what I wanted to do. I want to make the For Baby, Make it Personal, etc boxes to the right of the main pic on the front page clickable to go to different categories, and wanted to know if that can be done from css since they have references there that place them where they are...

Hope you're doing ok :)

I'm doing fine, thanks.

You have clickable links in those boxes so I'm a little unclear about what you want to do.

It has been told to me by a conversion expert that they background images should be clickable and go to a category or people will be confused. Say, they think they can click on "For Baby" and then they get confused when they can't...

OK, was that a recommendation from the video?

couple of problem I see.

CSS can style and position the boxes but you can't create a link with css. Links are created with the html.

If you make the entire box a link then you will lose the individual links within the box.

possible solution:

re-create the individual boxes (without the titles)
now you can add <h1></h1> tags within the boxes for the titles and create links that way.
you can also keep the 2 individual links that already exist.

Hi guys,
I love the template it is very pretty, but what I need to do is get rid of the seashell image, change the "sales message goes here" and make the login/register to pop up when my customers are in the checkout area. Can anyone help out on how to do this?
P.S. I am really new to all of this so I may need step by step instructions.
Thanks in advance,
Vanessa

Clyde, I've decided to go from a column format to rows for the category pages and to make the images a bit bigger. Can you tell me how to put some space between the images? Ie, here: http://www.babygiftbasketstores.com/baby-boy-gifts

Thanks!

Amy,

add the following to the stylesheet.css

You can adjust the padding until you get the look you want.

.productListing-even .productListing-data, .productListing-odd .productListing-data {
padding: 3px 0;
color:#000;
}

Perfect! Thanks Clyde :)

I am using the current version of Zen Cart for my new site. I just downloaded Ocean Front yesterday and started to customize it for my needs. However, I am having difficulty locating the "informationContent" div in the code for modifying. I am using Microsoft Expression Web 4 to modify the site and I have completed a search through all of the files for the div and cannot locate it.

I need to adjust the location, size, and color of the sidebox titles as well as define the background for the sidebox content. I am going to try to the use the Gradient routine to duplicate what I did in on my main site: http://www.okaquariumgiftshops.com

I don't know if it is possible to have a 1 pixel high image repeat down and fade darker as it proceeds down the content box. I've seen it done with just a simple box specifying the colors but I'm not sure it can be done with an image.

Additionally, I need to place a footer on the content boxes and I'm not sure where I need to code the footer div. Can someone help me there?

By the way, my Zen-Cart site is: http://shop.okaquariumgiftshops.com

Thank you,
Jerry Powers
