Bentley Classic Template Support Thread

Anne,


What I want to do is cause both the Right Hand Sidebar and the Footer to display on my home (front) page. In the image from my previous post, it shows only that the Header, Left Hand Sidebar and Main Content.

I was working on building my High Caliber Knives site and then realized that I was going to have a problem with integrating a shopping cart into it, this is why I went to Zen Cart. Here is an image of the home page:

Attachment 11139

As you can see, I am not a novice when it comes to building a site. I have the necessary skills to accomplish most of what I want to do, including building a data base from scratch.

Examples include: http://www.kandlewebdesign.com/ and http://www.impelind.com/

The nice thing about Zen Cart is that it provides all of the back side features for an e-commerce site - I looked at Drupal and Joomla as possibilities but they did not appear to be as flexible (for my needs).

The hardest part in working with Zen Cart is learning how to use the template structure - the documentation regarding what each template file is used for seems to be sorely lacking or rather cryptic. I also realize that most of these templates are for behind the scene functionality and that only a relative few needs to be modified, but trying to figure this out is quite daunting. And yes I do have the latest edition of "e-Start Your Web Store with Zen Cart", which has been a great resource but it still has the same failure in explaining how the template system works as do many of the responses within the forum (a great resource once you noodle through them).

Thank you

If you search in the FAQ's section, there is an article that outlines how to turn off secrtions on the main page only.

Thanks,

Anne

The problem seems to be caused by renamed/earlier versions of the file left in the directory. If I clean them out - whatever the rename is - it seems to function OK. At least, it does in IE. But in Opera, Firefox and Chrome, the drop down boxes appear on hover over the top menu item, but do not persist when mouse is moved over dropdown box. What might be the cause of this?

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you quote your original question, or post a link to your site so that I can take a look?

Thanks,

When I make changes to headings or text content in headermenu.php, the changes do not appear. CSS edits appear OK, and I can change the about us image. But changes to original text do not appear. Is there another file at work here? I can't find any through the developers toolkit. I have browser cache disabled, and I have also checked on another PC.

I clicked on the 'reply' link at the bottom of my earlier post, never having done so before. Didn't do what I expected. Anyway, an interesting solution. Any thoughts on the dropdown problem? First two dropdowns disappear when moving mouse over - in Opera, Firefox, Chrome - but this does not happen with 'info' dropdown.

This is in includes/templates/bentley_classic/css/stylesheet_module_tabs.css.

Hi Anne,

I'm having a similar issue as Fudge (as evidenced when I click on Fudge's website link). I've taken all product listings off the home page module tabs (except for New Products) through the admin. I'm not sure why it is but by default, I have a blank listing and the new products only show up after I click on the "New" link.

How can I get the new product listing to show up by default? (it may be defaulting to Featured products)

Worked like a charm, thanks! On a side note, do you know how I can keep the Product Detail section's inclusion of the Pintrest/FB/Twitter bar from causing a security error when I'm in SSL mode? Having the Secure/Non-secure warning show up is having a negative effect on click-through...

Are you sure that it is the addthis that is causing the error? There are a lot of people using this template and I have not heard about anyone else having this problem.

Thanks,

Hey Anne quick question.. Is there something in this template that would prevent the product name from word wrapping?? My client has a couple of REALLY LONG product names and because the text does not wrap, they mess up the layout of the product info page..

I shortened the name on this product:
http://clientlaserdiscvault(dot)over...oducts_id=5697

Here's how it looks on other products:
http://clientlaserdiscvault(dot)over...oducts_id=5693
(and oh YES I KNOW his product descriptions are a bloody MESS.. I'm working with him on this..)
