Hi Anne,

I have two quick questions, at least i hope they are quick.

I uploaded my logo to the file indicated in the install text. i renamed it to logo.jpg just see if that would help. alas, no luck. thoughts?

also, i do not see anything below the slides. there used to be a bunch of images i set as a category pix, until i installed products then nada... any thoughts? what else should be there ?

look here www.hempstersstitch.com/store

thank you

When I go to your site I see the logo image used is called hempsters.logo.2.gif. If you name this image logo.jpg and follow 7 in the readme.html file you will see your logo.

You can add anything to the main page that you want. Look in configuration--layout settings to set your categories to show on the main page.

Thanks,

Anne

Anne, I followed your instructions, both in here and the install.txt file. (I couldn't find the readme.html file you referenced). i deleted the old logos and renamed them per your instructions. when i refreshed the site, there was a different file listed under properties of the logo image. i tried finding it following the path listed under properties and i could not find it. any suggestions?

i want to launch the new site on monday, so any tips or tweaks is appreciated.

Download the latest version of the template from the free downloads section. You will see a readme directory with an html readme file. This file will have very specific step by step instructions with images and a link to a video tutorial. I can not post the links to the online version here.

The path to the image it is using now is:

http://www.hempstersstitch.com/store...ers.logo.2.gif

which is strnage. Did you change the path in the includes/languagres/english/avonlee_contempo/header.php file?

Thanks,
Anne

Hi Anne,
I have a fresh install of this template and for some reason the slide images and the facebook and twitter images (as well as the logo) do not want to show.
Any suggestions please?

Sorry Anne, I forgot to let you know I got it working.

I am now having problems getting the slider to work on the main page.
For some reason the new slide images will not show up and I have checked all code to make sure the names are correct and so on (slide1.jpg etc).

I have the following for the CSS

/*bof easy slider*/
#slider{margin:0 auto;}
#slider ul, #slider li, #slider2 ul, #slider2 li{margin:0;padding:0;list-style:none;}
#slider2{margin-top:1em;}
#slider li, #slider2 li{/*define width and height of list item (slide) entire slider area will adjust according to the parameters provided here */width:700px;height:250px;overflow:hidden;}
#slider{margin:0 auto;margin-top:20px;}
/*bof easy slider numeric controls*/
#control_div{width:200px;height:18px;position:relative;left:370px;top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;}
ol#controls{margin:1em 0;padding:0;height:18px;}
ol#controls li{margin:0 10px 0 0;padding:0;float:left;list-style:none;height:18px;line-height:18px;}
ol#controls li a{float:left;height:18px;line-height:18px;border:1px solid #ccc;background:#eceaea;color:#444;padding:0 10px;text-decoration:none;}
ol#controls li.current a{background:#000;color:#fff;}
ol#controls li a:focus, #prevBtn a:focus, #nextBtn a:focus{outline:none;}

Can you please tell me how to get the images to show on the main page?
I have had the images in:
/includes/templates/avonlee_contempo/images/

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank-you in advance
Kind Regards

Don't know what happened but I transferred the file again (main page definition) and now it is showing up my images.
Weird.

It's not working still sorry.

I can get my images to show but when I do, I get the default main page text.
I tried to remove the default text and I was left with the following code:

<!--?php

define(IMAGE1,'slide1.jpg');// default width 700px height 250px /
define(IMAGE2,'slide2.jpg');
define(IMAGE3,'slide3.jpg');
define(IMAGE4,'slide4.jpg');
define(IMAGE5,'slide5.jpg');

define(URL1,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
define(URL2,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
define(URL3,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
define(URL4,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');
define(URL5,'http://www.picaflor-azul.com');

?-->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$(&quot;#slider&quot;).easySlider({
auto: true,
continuous: true,
numeric: true
});

});
</script>

<div id="slider">
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php echo URL1 ?>"><img alt="first slide image" src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE1 ?>" /></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo URL2 ?>"><img alt="second slide image" src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE2 ?>" /></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo URL3 ?>"><img alt="third slide image" src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE3 ?>" /></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo URL4 ?>"><img alt="fourth slide image" src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE4 ?>" /></a></li>
<li><a href="<?php echo URL5 ?>"><img alt="fifth slide image" src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE5 ?>" /></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

which makes my slider just show white spaces under each other with the "first slide image" etc.... alt text link.

I had this working on my previous install but that was before the template was upgraded.
Please help.

Also,
have the Editable Sidebox installed.
I installed the Countdown Sidebox with Image but for some reason I can not get the "83 days to Christmas" etc.... (I assume there is supposed to be text showing the countdown).

It replaces the file from Editable Sidebox located here:
includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/define_editable_sidebox_content.php

I have the new image etc and I have adjusted the date.
Can you please shed some light on this please? Thanks.

If you read the install readme file you will see that you can only edit the define_main_page.php file with a plain text editor. Make sure that option is selected in the admin define pages editor before editing the page as it contains php code and the wysiwyg will corrupt the code.

I do not know why your add on module is not working. It is not an inherent problem with the template. You have probably not installed the module correctly. I would recommend asking for support for the module on the module support thread.

Thanks,

Anne
