Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.
Thanks,

Thanks Anne for your support.
I looked at the source code and found that some how stylesheet.copy.css (which was a backup copy of earlier mod )
stylesheet2.css (which was the original backup copy) were also loading, as these were having the old path to the background image i think the changes in the were not showing.
As soon as the name was changed to stylesheet.css.copy and stylesheet2css.copy the problem was solved.

Thanks Anne

Better solution is to NOT keep old stylesheets on your server.. If you feel you MUST keep them, then keep them on your local computer. The ONLY stylesheet you should keep on the server is the one you are currently using..

If you feel that you MUST keep old versions on the server (something I don't recommend, as it's a bad habit to get into and makes your web server a mess) then change the file extension to something like "bakcss" or "xcss" so that the backups aren't auto-loaded..

I agree with this 100%!

Hi Anne ,
We were testing the site with your template as regards to scenario of taking a backup and also of moving the site to a different host.

Everything was OK like design , database , addons working etc but found a little problem when this template was installed.
1. Shop By Brand drop down menu was showing this:
Execute($manufacturer_sidebox_query); if ($manufacturer_sidebox->RecordCount()>0) { $number_of_rows = $manufacturer_sidebox->RecordCount()+1; // Display a list $manufacturer_sidebox_array = array(); // kuroi: commented out to avoid starting list with text scrolling list entries such as "reset" and "please select" // if (!isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) || $_GET['manufacturers_id'] == '' ) { // $manufacturer_sidebox_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_ALL); // } else { // $manufacturer_sid..........

2. There is a line beside Shopping Cart in the header:
Shopping Cart - count_contents();?> item(s) - format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?>

Tried the stylesheet.css which is working on the hosted site
but the result was the same
Its working fine though in classic template

Thanks

Checked all files in
/includes/templates/abbington_mega/common
and compared them to the localhost file ; not a single word is different.

BTW we are using WAMPSERVER 2.2

This is not a template specific problem. The problem is the wamp server. You need to switch to an xamp. If you do a search on the forum you will find posts that explain all of the details of why.

Thanks Anne !!
Thought XAMP was a bit old with the last version in Sept '11, so tried WAMP.
But sometimes old is gold

Hi.. I have a problem. I have no idea how to fix this. On my website when a person goes to choose size or color it's show at the bottom of the picture instead of next to the picture like in your demo website. How can I fix this? just in case you need to see the site myinspiredwall.com.

Thanks

You might be using an older version of the template package. You can move elements around on the product info page by editing the includes/templates/abbington_mega/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php file. Or you can upload the file from the latest version of the template package to your server.

Thanks,

Anne
