You can always download the last version and the new one and do your own file comparison to see what's been modified..

I look through the files and there is no exact description of what files are updated.

Hi Anne, glad to see the update.

Can you be so kind to tell me which files were exactly updated. I replace the js slider but what other files without completely overwriting every single file.

I would so appreciate it.

Thanks

Hey there,

Thanks for the template, I am loving it so far and it has saved me tons of time trying to figure out how to insert a slider.

I have a question: Is there any way to delete the side boxes from ONLY the main page so that the slider can be designed to go the entire width of the page?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Yes, this is no problem. Search the forum for how to remove sideboxes from the main page---it has been asked and answered many times.

If you read the readme file there are instructions on using images of different dimensions.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

I actually had already done a search before posting. I found the code to use:

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

and they say to put it into:

/includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php

but this file does not exist in your template (or at least in a place I can't seem to find) so I was worried it could not be done with your template. Glad it should be no problem but could you point me to the specific file where I have to put in the code and I can take it from there?

I had no problems getting the images to adjust. I also went over the read me file before posting and figured it out no problem.

Thanks for your help.

The file doesn't exist in the template package because I made no changes for it. If you need to edit this file you need to create an override for it.

Hey that did the trick perfectly thanks! Like I said, I'm still pretty green to PHP. Didn't know all I had to do was copy the file.


Thanks again! And ignore that Linux guy... Dunno what his problem is but he comes off like a tool anyway so no one will take him seriously.

Hey,

Sorry, I've got one more question that maybe you can help me with.

Here is my site in progress: http://brokenbird.ca/cart/

I'm trying to add a dropdown css menu where the red header info is: ie, the links to home/contact us/log in etc. So that it looks something like the one I designed here:

www.brokenbird.ca

I plan to leave the log in / shopping cart info but want to add my menu to it.

I have already added the appropriate .js files and edited the stylesheet.css document with the right code but for some reason I can't find where this header menu information is located so I can't experiment with placing my own menu. Could you point me to the appropriate file so I can play with it a bit?

I know this sounds like a bit of a lazy question but I really have been looking around for nearly an hour trying to find the right one.

Thanks,

Will

99% authors always include which files have been modified.

There was a lot of problems with this template to begin with since Jennifer was the not the original author.

I have completely re-written it to make it function 100%. Plus have added other goodies. My clients love it and there is no problem with it now.

And Anne didn't include one which IMHO is not a big deal considering she contributed this template for FREE. My point was that if you needed this information, that a quick looksee using a file comparison program is and easy enough way to get the information you needed.

Another thing to consider is perhaps hasn't been able to respond to requests for this information because she is busy at the moment and wouldn't be able to provide this information for a FREE template while working on work that pays the bills.. (which is exactly what is going on based on a response for similar information requested in another support thread for another one of her templates..)

Dunno who Jennifer is, but Anne is the original author of this template..

Excellent!! that's the point of free templates.. to use them as a starting point for your own great ideas.. Though I never had a problem with functionality with this template..
