Sheffield Blue Template Support Thread

[picaflor-azul]

Well, through considerable messing around with it, I've managed to make a few positive changes. I deleted the whole thing and reinstalled it without the brown button overlay, so now it looks better and all the categories fall within the header banner again. The big question is, how do I get rid of entire drop-down categories that I don't want? Since I'm going to have links at the bottom of the page, I see no need to have them duplicated along the top. Ideally I'd like to rename Quick Links to Home and have it just be a static link, followed by Categories, Authors, and part of the Info block (the Log In and Create An Account part). Since there'll be room for it then, I'd also like to move the Search field back into the header bar. Not sure where I lost that one; I've made so many changes that I can't remember where it was.

Please help? Thank you!

The easiest way would be to just hard code a static menu.

Thanks,

Anne

Okay.......how would I do that? I studied the script you suggested, but I'm just barely starting to scratch the surface on php. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, especially since it obviously involves changing multiple files at once. I don't know which files to change.

Any help you (or anyone else) could offer would be greatly appreciated. It's a gorgeous template, and I really want to be able to use it...every new challenge helps teach me more.

Hmmm, still no answer. Would it at least be possible to give me a sample of the static code, so I can try to puzzle it out?

If you just want to hard code the menu, it is just an un ordered list. There are many examples on the internet for this. You can also do a view source of the demo for the exact structure.

Hello Anne,

I am no ZenCart expert, please bear with me.

In following the installtion steps for this gorgeous template, after backing up my database, and since this is a first time installation of any picaflor-azul templates, I copied and pasted the contents of each sql file and hit send. After the first one changing to rows, then the next 3, went to define pages and there is no about us page to define. YIKES!

Did I do something wrong? How can I fix this?



Thanks for your time,
Robert

Ahhemm.. Scuse me for a quick step in as though the question may (dunno') apply to this forum as well, but I happen to know that the true template in question is the responsive template which is in a different thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...Sheffield-Blue

Ok, so after chatting with mc12345678, I understand there are a few fixes to make this template work properly. Like coping define_about_us.php to 2 areas. However, apparently nothing about my present problem which is now, I can't change to the sheffield blue template, although it is listed and it appears as the choosen template (default) I go to set the side boxes and it says it is the basic blue template that I installed last night. (two diff. templates). I go back to set templates and its listed as basic blue not sheffield blue.

Your problem with installation is not typical. I would recommend following the installation instructions in the readme.html file closely to find out what you have done wrong.

Thanks Anne, I went back into to the database and found the table zen_template_select and in there were only the two templates basic blue and responsive shffield blue, I deleted the row with the stuck template name and was able to change to the sheffield blue one on the bak-end! Hopefully this can help anyone in a similar situation.

I made it through to the end of the instructions and the site looks good to me, but am having one odd problem. My new product listing which would be a grid of 9 3 across, 3 down, but mine are being sized 4 across so it looks like row 1 =3, row 2=1, row 3 is 3, row 4 is one. My config / tools / Product Listing - Columns Per Row is set at 3. I changed it to one, two and three and 4, but it remains in what seems like the 4 position. A look at the page with Firebug, I see a <br class="clearBoth"> after every 4th product listed under new products tab in center. The css is coded at 31% width still. Yikes!

I just looked at your site and you have the new products set to 4 across. Check this in admin---configuration--index listing.

Thanks,
