Andover Modern Template Support Thread

Hi I have a tweaked version of this on a 1.3.9 site. I noticed it is labelled 1.5 compatible. Can you tell me if any an where the changes are from the 1.3.9 version to the 1.5 version?

I'd like to update the existing site and clone the template I have for a new 1.5 site.

Cheers and thanks for a great template!

It depends on which version of the template package you started from. I would recommend downloading the most current version of the template package and then doing a compare between the current version and the version you are using. Beyond compare is a great tool for file comparison

Thanks,

Hi Anne,
About the 1.5 Zencart update, i am currently using v1.3.9h, so is it safe to update to the 1.5?
Will this cause any trouble to how the site is actually working?
Thanks,
Rishi

It depends on what version of the template package you are using. If you are using the latest version, it has been updated for 1.5 compatibility. If you are using an eariler version then you should compare the files in your version of the template package with the files in the newest version.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi again Anne,

I'm trying to get this template to work with Right and left boxes, I've nearly got it working baut am still having a little trouble with the right boxes being pushed out to the right. I can't seem to find any settings in admin or CSS where I can fix this. Any hints would be appreciated.
Site is zen 1.5 and here it is http://d2262519.i225.quadrahosting.com.au/

If you download the latest version or the template, it comes natively in a 3 column layout.

Thanks,

OK, I've installed this theme and I'm following the steps in the readme.html.
I'm in step 7 and want to change the logo, but, apparently, I'm not able to.
I've uploaded the new logo.gif to includes/templates/andover_modern/images
I've changed the file includes/languages/english/header.php to use the new file, but then the site still shows the default "Andover Modern" which has the URL "http://mysite/shop/includes/templates/template_default/images/logo.jpg"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

OK,
I've changed the file includes/languages/english/header.php to use the new file,

Thanks

This is wrong. If you read the instructions you will see that you need to be in the override file to make changes:

includes/languages/english/andover_modern/header.php

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Thanks. But I just followed your Readme.html:

2. Open includes/languages/english/header.php in your favorite plain text editor. Find this code on or around line 24:

define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

3. There are 4 bits you will change:

Replace “Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce” with your site name and tag line here
Replace “192px” with your logo width
Replace “64px” with your logo height
Replace “logo.gif” with the name of your logo image
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Your store name :: your store tag line');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '385px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '100px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'new-logo.jpg');

Thank you for pointing out the mistake! I'll get this fixed the next time I update the template package.

You should always be changing the file in the override directories. So includes/languages/english/andover_modern/header.php

Thanks,

Anne
