Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

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.

thanks,

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 having this same problem - could someone answer the issue here for others that have this problem? :)

You shouldn't have to add any extra code to get the slider to behave correctly. It works out of the box. If you are having problems I would recommend re-installing the template package or looking to a modification that you made.

I am so happy that it worked
