Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

[ak6000]

Hi Anne,

I have successfully installed and customized your wonderful template with little problem. As last item I would like to change the Categories item in the main menu bar to only display one of the sub menus. Currently my categories has three sub menus 1)Gifts for pet lovers, 2) Dog products and 3) Cat products. What I like to do is rename the Categories to Dog Products that I know how to do and then when you move your mouse over it, it only displays the menu items for Dog Products sub category and nothing else?

My test site is : http://s415710195.onlinehome.us/test, and as you can see I have renamed and duplicated the categories but now I need to limit them to related product lines.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Take a look at the includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php and the includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_mega_menu.php

Thanks,

The css is valid. You need to validate the css as css3. The only errors you will see are vendor specific extensions which as of yet show up as errors. See this:

Anne,

First of all, thank you so much for this wonderful template. Great job!

I would like to use this template as the starting point for my site. So I am trying to set it up on my local machine to get familiar with both your template and Zen Cart. I installed the Zen Cart, all goes well. However, when I put your template on it, I am getting issues. I have read through this thread and saw other people got it working, but I could not figure out what I have done wrong. Your help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, this is on my local machine, so I can’t show you the site. Let me share a few screen shots.

My environment is:
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- Zen Cart 1.50
- XAMPP 1.8.0 VC9 (thinking XAMPP might be the cause, I tried 1.72 too and got the same results)
- I used WinZip to unzip the files in includes dir to the proper dirs following the readme

Once the template is installed, the following screen is shown. There is an issue at the very top showing "count contents()...". The navigation bar is missing items. The QUICK LINK is working fine. CATEGORIES is empty, and SHOP BY BRAND is showing some code (see screen 2), and the content from About Us is displayed.

Screen 1

Screen 2


When I scroll down to the middle of the page, I see the content that is supposed to be on the upper part of the page.
Screen 3


The last screen shot shows the bottom of the page. When I click on NEW, FEATURED, SPECIALS, nothing happens.
Screen 4


Thanks.

I would recommend switching from a wamp server to an xamp server. You can do a search on the forum for all of the specifics of why xamp will work better.

I am using XAMPP, not WAMP. I noticed that you have mentioned XAMP works better than WAMP in previous posts.

Your installation problems are not typical so I am guessing that it is either a server side issue or an incomplete/corrupted template install.

I have a problem with my pop-up images I'm not sure how to fix. When you click on the "larger image" the displays shows the product images except it has a black bar and below a grey bar in the background of the image. Is there a setting to correct this?

You can add this to your stylesheet.css:

#popImage {background:none;}
