Sheffield Blue Template Support Thread

Thanks again Anne. You're a sweetheart. I placed the following code in the email address to reduce spam harvesting of email addresses on the site. Replace the @ symbol with @ so that the email address would be [email protected].

I am happy that it worked for you ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Great now I've edited the includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\sheffield_blue\footer_menu_defines and social_defines .php and um broke my main page...
The scrolling banner and the social media boxes are now gone.. ive tried replacing both those .php files and then activating the classic template and then activating the sheffield templates, ive tried clearing my cookies and cach and still nothing.

I am happy that you like the template ;)

There are instructions for customizing the social media links in the readme.html file included in the template package. Since this is a php file you need to edit it with a plain text editor. I would recommend re uploading the original file from the template package and trying your changes again.

Thanks,

Anne

I've been slowly building a replacement for my live site using Sheffield Blue as a base. I'm at a point right now where I've been going back through and redesigning most of my forms to make them more responsive. I had some older mod forms not using the new spam idea and recoded with the spam code. I also modifed the mega menue contact form so when it fails it plays nice with the changes I'm doing on the normal contact us from.

I added a hidden subject so I know where the message came from... maybe you will find it usfull, I've tested the mega menu and it's behaving as expected... the input field is tracking back and getting cought by the main code.

<br class="clearBoth" />
                        <label for="enquiry">Message<span class="required"> *</span></label>
                        <?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('enquiry', '40', '3', $enquiry, 'id="enquiry" class="required" required="" type="text"'); ?> 
                        <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('should_be_empty', '', ' size="10" id="CUAS" style="visibility:hidden; display:none;" autocomplete="off"'); ?>
                       <?php echo zen_draw_hidden_field('subject', 'From MegaMenu', ' id="subject"'); ?>

Is this all the code that needs to be added to the tpl_mega_menu.php file or is there other code to be added to other files also. Thanks

Where can I find instruction on how modify the template now that it's installed on our site.
Particularly the flash banner at the top, what do I need to change that since I can make my own flash, just need to know to implement it.

The template uses a jquery slide show, not flash. The readme.html file included in the template package has instructions for how to change the slides.

Thanks,

How I can change background color for product description only.

I tried #productDescription {background:#013991;} but it change background color in product description for the space around font but not behind the text.

Thank you!

This really depends on if you are using stock code. So if you are using the code as provided for the tpl product info display without modifications, then the #productDescription {background: ???} will change the div element background to what you chose. But I am confused on what exactly you want the background to do for behind the text. I think either a site to look at or a better explanation on what you want done. The part that confuses me is "behind the text". What exactly does this mean?

But to help you do this by yourself use firebug or a web developer tool so you can change it live to see what effects are done. Or if that is not to your liking then you may always enclose more elements in divs and classes to get the look you want.
