At this point I am going to refer you to the w3c schools css tutorials.

http://www.w3schools.com/css/

I don't mind helping out if someone gets stuck, but I do believe that if you are going to try and customize a zen cart template yourself, you should do some leg work so that you can do these basic changes.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,
Thanks for the referral. The changes that I made were done yet oddly enough they did not appear until almost two days later. I've been doing leg work and I have also watched almost all of your you tube tutorials. I didn't see the questions that I asked to be basic or obvious. I took the time and read every detail in your install.txt that you included and read all 37 pages (at the time) of this support thread before asking questions as you suggested yet there are others that obviously looked over your suggestions (not doing leg work) and asked questions that were specifically inserted in the install file that you provided.
I have done several searches but have difficulty finding what I need at times because I can't get the terminology correct. So, forgive me if I came across as being lazy. I was just hoping to find some guidance.

I appreciate everything that you have done. I couldn't have gone as far as I have without your template (the best one's I've seen so far).

No problem I didn't mean to imply that you were lazy. But the learning is in the doing. If you are going to undertake the huge task of customizing a zen cart site, then you have to know the basics.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Maybe a general question for a lot of us. Should we consider updating your template on our store site?

By far, I am extremely happy with my site, the flow, the admin side, etc. So I would hate to mess things up with an update?

I only asked because you list bug fixes...

Thanks and I appreciate your template and incredible support here!

I would only consider updating to the new package if you read the changes and decide that there is a feature or bug fix that you can't live without ;-)

Most of the fixes are minor, but they are all things that I noticed and wanted to get fixed.



Thanks,

I installed the module "cateories with ez pages links" to your template. I have everything working. The only problem is I can't seem to get the module to match with the current category layout within the sidebox.

Following is what was added to the includes/templates/andover_modern/sideboxes/tpl_catergories.php

/ integrate ezpages

$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n";
for ($i=1, $n=sizeof($var_linksList); $i<=$n; $i++) {
$content .= '<li><a href="' . $var_linksList[$i]['link'] . '">' . $var_linksList[$i]['name'] . '</a></li>' . "\n" ;
} // end FOR loop
$content .= '</ul>' . "\n";

//end integrate ezpages
// integrate ezpges TOC
$content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n" ;
for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($ez_pages_toc); $i++) {
$content .= '<li>' . $ez_pages_toc[$i] . '</li>' . "\n" ;
}

$content .= '</ul>' . "\n" ;

// end integrate ezpages TOC

The above was placed after line 73
$content .= '</a></div>';
}
}

I tried a number of different things and have come close, but can't seem to figure it out.

What am I missing?

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

Please I have followed the install.txt as instructed, but there is still a bluish line running down the right side of the template. My website is http://www.craftscollection.co.uk

I will so much appreciate your help. You have a lovely template and kind of you to share it.

The site is unaccessible by the general public until we go live. We are currently evaluating the performance in-house. We thought it would be nice to add the module previously mentioned. We believe the problem is in the language for the layout.

Specifically, $content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n"; If we can replace that with the style layout of the categories sidebox it should solve the problem.

The question is what is that or do you know of a better way to list the ezpages in the categories sidebox?

You have an old version of the template. You should download the latest version which is a 3 column layout. The old version is a 2 column layout which you can make a 3 column layout by adding the styles for the right hand column to the left hand column. If you follow the admin settings (in the install.txt file) for the old version of the template the blue box will disappear.
