Acadame - Another Professional Template

[Kruna]

anyone know if I can change the templates color scheme?

You would do this in your stylesheet.css, which you find in includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css.

There you look for the colors, change them and just upload again.
MAybe I cant explain well, sorry.
What exactly do you like to change, so I can tell you where exactly?

also, when editing the template, images, logo, etc. do I need to go through the override process as I would if I was making a custom template. Ex: If I want to edit the logo of includes/templates/acadame... do i need to take the logo and make a new directory under includes/templates/custom/... and so on with the process? or can i just take the file, edit it, and the overwrite/replace the old one?

Technically seen you can do both: use acadame folders and replace your changes or create your_template folder name and put everything in there, but then you would need to make a copy of acadame.
Just keep one thing in mind everywhere you see a classic folder create a new one called acadame or your_template.
If you decide to create your_template you will need to switch in the admin the template.

what I mean by changing the color scheme is this:

if you look at my website, http://www.attireforall.com the background is white with a red header and blue/gray sideboxes.

Is there anyway to change the background from white to red or blue? and change the color of the sideboxes/header? I do not see color options in the stylesheet.

I am also having trouble finding anywhere in the header.php about changing the top logo size?

For exapmle the background, you will find at the beginning of the file...

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
}

just change the #ffffff (white) to what color you wish, let´s say #000066

The sideboxes you will find in the image folder includes/templates/your_template/images called boxheadingbg.gif
Change the color in photoshop or else like you wish.
If you have problem doing it, just tell me how you would like to have it, I could do that for you.

The header.php says something like

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'clickyshop.com. haga click y se lo llevamos a su puerta...');
// define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '...site tagline here (free shipping, sales, etc)...');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', ' ');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', ' ');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

does it?

Where you see width and heighth you put the size of your logo.gif.

thanks for the help kruna! I have just a few more questions;
in the side box "More Information" is there a way to change the names "Page 2" , "Page 3" , Page 4 ? i would like to change it to things like "about us" "faq" , etc.

also, is there a way to change the "categories' box to "Products"

does this template allow to put any boxes on the right side?

and lastly, at the top of the header where the languages, currency, and shopping cart is, can those be moved or are they required to be at the top of the page?

Bahumbug! Don't use this area at all ... needs to be phased out. Instead, use your EZ-Pages. This way you can change it later, or add more links if you'd like.

To edit the boxes name (Imortant Links) check the language files, under sideboxes.

also, is there a way to change the "categories' box to "Products"

Main English language file

Possible, but not in current configuration. Would have to modify the CSS a bit.

and lastly, at the top of the header where the languages, currency, and shopping cart is, can those be moved or are they required to be at the top of the page?

Not required to be there, where would you like them to be?

Love iChoze,
sorry I've been gone for so long trying to get my site up finished and completed.

Just one thing. On my template, the categories on the left continue to {glitch} it looks like the formatting {CSS} on some of the menu options do not show up correctly, normally this happens on the sub-categories {furniture > decor} this happens often.

Can anyone think of what the issue may be?

Try this ... replace current with the following:

li.category-top a{
	padding:.4em 0 0 1.5em;
	margin:0;
	color:#333333;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:block;
	height:1.8em;
	border-bottom:1px solid #9a9a9a;
	background:#EEEEEE url(../images/boxlistbg.png) .4em 0.5em no-repeat;
	}
li.category-subs a{
	padding:.4em 0 0 1.5em;
	margin:0;
	color:#333333;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:block;
	height:1.8em;
	border-bottom:1px solid #9a9a9a;
	background:#EEEEEE url(../images/boxlistbg.png) 1.2em 0.5em no-repeat;
	}
li.category-products a{
	padding:.4em 0 0 1.5em;
	margin:0;
	color:#333333;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:block;
	height:1.8em;
	border-bottom:1px solid #9a9a9a;
	background:#EEEEEE url(../images/boxlistbg.png) 1.2em 0.5em no-repeat;
	}
li.category-top a:hover, li.category-subs a:hover{
	background:#333333 url(../images/boxlistbg.png) .4em 0.5em no-repeat;
	color:#EEEEEE;
	}
li.category-products a:hover{
	background:#333333 url(../images/boxlistbg.png) 1.2em 0.5em no-repeat;
	color:#EEEEEE;
	}

as far as I remember there is a zip at the beginning of this thread #10, whixh enables 3 columns, just replace it with the file. This is what I did to be able to have also sideboxes on right side.

Sorry for posting this again, but I would like to know how to get the same header, on my current website...please take a look at www.clickyshop.com
means where the logo, foro and shopping cart is and also the vertical dotted lines.

The website I would like to implement it is www.clickyshop.com/new_shop1

Have a look at your existing template at clickyshop.com then integrate that into the tpl_header.php file at new_shop1.

FTP info always helps , can PM it to me.
