First off, love this template!

I have done some slight mods for our needs and was just starting to get the main page all set up. Had our slides set and went into define page editor to set up the text on the define_main_page.php and stupid me deleted the "stock" text using the HTMLarea and when I refreshed our page, the slider is there but the images won't show now.... I've tried to simply put the code for the define_main_page.php page back in with the same results, text shows, slider is there but images are not??

Any idea what we did and how to get the slider showing the pics again? I'd hate to have to start all over now....

Thanks!

Try using the plain text editor to enter the slideshow code..

After trying a few things I did get it back up and going =) Weirdly I just copied the html from the define-main-page part of the template and it works... swear I tried that before and it didn't. Either way, were good for now =) Thanks again for your help and the OP for designing this too!

Yes, the define_main_page.php file contains php code and must be edited with a plain text editor. There are instructions about this in the detailed readme.html file.

Thanks,

I have been working with your template now for a few days and appreciate that it is a complete template and not "half baked" like so many other free templates are. That being said I have changed a lot simply because of personal preference.

There are 3 things I am having difficulty with:

The first and most important to me is removing the "About Us" link from the Information side box and footer. I have found several references in the code but I don't want to "break" anything so would prefer to know which I should comment out or remove to be safe. I have looked in Configuration - > Define Page Status to see if it added an option for turning it off in the Information side box there but it does not. It is also not in the database at all even though it calls for a status:

if (DEFINE_ABOUT_US_STATUS <= 1) {

    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT_US . '</a>';

Second in priority is how to downsize the footer to just 3 columns. Can this safely be done in footer_menu_defines.php and tpl_footer_menu.php? My site is simplistic and at this time doesn't need a lot of link space.

Last and least important but still a formatting issue added with this template. Is there a way to move the AddThis button to where the Tell a Friend button normally is. At this time I have completely removed the Tell a Friend button as I don't see a need to have both.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I just remember after posting that for the Information box I could just delete the template specific information.php in includes/modules/sideboxes/TEMPLATE/.

However that still leaves the second priority to remove the "About Me" from the footer as well as my other 2 questions.

Thank you.

Yes, edit those files and possible stylesheet.css. Refer to the footer menu module thread for more details (it is this module that creates the footer menu).

Edit the includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/templates/tpl_product_info_page.php fle.

Thank you for the information on the footer menu module I will check into that. I do apologize I was under the impression it was something custom you had put in.

As for the Share button I understand to edit the includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/templates/tpl_product_info_page.php file. I'm sorry for not being more specific the problem I am running into is that this is the only code that when I start trying to move it around brings up some very serious unexpected formatting issues. I thought I would ask on the off chance that you possibly already had experience putting it in place of the tell a friend button.

If you are moving all of the lines of code associated with the AddThis to the proper spot in the file there should be no problems. You need to move this:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xa-4e29ddd060f29e4f"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

You will probably also need to add css styles in the stylesheet.css file.

Thanks,

Anne
