Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

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

I would strongly recommend not trying to code this yourself, but starting from one of the great css drop down menus already in the free software downloads section. Then you can add your links into it. Be sure to check for files that need to be merged (off the top of my head you will have to merge the tpl_header.php and maybe another).

If you want to code from scratch you can edit the includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/common/tpl_header.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

I am so happy that it worked
