Oxford Dark Template Support Thread

[Trademagic]

Anne,

I cannot remove your Oxford Dark, Free Template by Picaflor Azul Zen Cart Design on the tops of the header menu all pages. I have been to FAQ, and your instructions with the package. I have changed and fixed it before. It is correctly stated in includes/language/english/oxford_dark/header.php and everywhere else I can find it.

I can't figure it out. Also, how do I get the checkout link to space better so it is not sleeping under the search window. Please forgive me, but I have tried to fix it for over a week.

Download Firefox then the addon firebug. This is what I had to do when I was using this template

If you are referring to the title in the browser bar, you can edit the includes/languages/english/oxford_dark/meta_tags.php file.

If you want to make css changes to the template, it is good advice to use firebug or the firefox web developer tools. They will help you to find the line in the css file that you need to edit to make your changes.

I don't think that there is enough room to fit the navigation links next to the search on your site. When someone logs in, the additional my account link and log off link will show and it will run into the logo. I would recommend making these changes in your stylesheet.css file:

#navMain ul {float: right;line-height: 1.5em;list-style-type: none;padding: 0.5em 0;text-align: right;width: 100%;}
#header-lan-curr{color:#fffffc;float:right;margin:0;}
#navMainSearch{float:right;margin-top:-30px;}
#headerWrapper{}
#logo{margin-top:-60px;}

Thanks,

Anne

Anne,

Have made these corrections, and they help, but the checkout near search window almost disappears when the log in proceeds, and by the time they order, it is almost totally unclickable. Can I move it still more to the left? With the logo higher, am hoping there is more room. Should I avoid the css buttons? Some do not have room for all text, and though I have tried to figure out firebug, it changes so much as you move around, that I cannot seem to figure how it makes things easier.

I wish to change the color of the main navigation text, more info, information, hover over and normal text against the black, and lighter to be more visible. How can I know where to do these edits without bothering you? Have looked stylesheet.css and also seems other stylesheets play into this. Since this is oxford, I am asking for your direction.

Many thanks,

Marc

If you want to learn how to make changes to the css I would recommend the tutorials at the w3schools site. I would also recommend using firefox and installing the web developer tools or firebug. They will help you to find the exact line of which file you need to edit to make css changes.



Thanks,

Anne

Anne,

I appreciate the design, and have been trying with firebug for over a week to change the color on the categories main information and more information boxes to a lighter color when unselected for weeks. You have a complex design and firebug is brilliant, but me, not so much in understanding all of it. I need to move the text a bit more to the left in the upper panel and to change the color on the fonts on that page. Please advise.

I am killing myself trying to adjust little things, and you seem to revel in referring people with minor knowledge and a lot of heart to resources which take months, years to master. I want to change the color, jeez!

Please,

Marc

Have been fighting this for a month approximately, and cannot ask any sweeter. I need a tiny bit of help, and cannot seem to get a selector working on firebug. You can help with a tiny lift of a finger, but you tell people to sink their heads into books. I have been trying. I need to change two or three tiny things. WHERE?

In your previous post you asked me:

This is why I responded by telling you:

Anne,

I have firebug as I have described. Your post was cryptic enough that I did not realize you considered that an answer. Rather than back and forth 2 dozen times, may I please beg for your direct response and assistance. I want to move the Checkout next to the search further left, so it does not disappear, as you recommended earlier. Also, where may I change the text in the left sidebox for all links, static, hover and clicked upon. whatever they are actually called. I have fought with firebug for two weeks, and cannot isolate just the cart icons sign in icons alone, with CSS info, or learn how to change these fonts.

Please. Tired of not being sharp enough to use the tool as it is meant to be used. I will learn more on the fly, but need your help, please.

I am not a designer, but I am trying my best to make this work. Please, just a few bits of your admittedly vast knowledge...

But nothing I do changes them. I have read the text of this support group at least 5 times and tried for weeks for your assistance. I read dozens of times where you recommend others to sources outside when if you would have answered their questions, or mine, it might have made this process much less painful.

I don't know why you have dangled me on for weeks of frustration, but if this is where you go for support, it feels like an abuse center, and I am no masochist. I know you are busy, and talented, and that you wish to design not support on a normal basis, but your indifference to the pain, and your recommendation that people learn major design skills seems contrary to the intent of offering Templates. I do appreciate your work, time, and knowledge Anne.

I just wish you were not ignoring justifiable pleas for assistance. I have messed for weeks trying to find the oven dial for font colors! WTH Marc
