Hi Jade,

Firstly, let me say thanks for all of the effort you have put into all of your conribs. I really like this template!

I would like to round off the top corners of each sidebox heading. How would I go about doing that? Is that setting adjustable so I can dial in the rounding over that suits my taste?

Thanks!

Matt

I wonder if anyone else has this issue.

If you click on checkout with an empty cart (logged in), the left and right sideboxes combine and overlap each other.

Whenever that happens, that means there is a missing closing div somewhere. Not too long ago I replied to someone else that had the same issue. See if this helps:

There's no setting to round off any corners. You'd have to upload new sidebox heading images. By default, the site is set up to have static 150px wide sideboxes, so you could actually upload an image that is 150px wide for the sidebox heading image.

I've played around with it in photoshop and have attached the result. One thing that I noticed, at least on my monitor, is that the color is now a little darker than original but now it seems to have depth to it? Does anyone else notice that or is it just me looking too long at a monitor? I guess I will apply the same treatment if I can to the rest of the red images. Or see if I can make it match the other red images...

So I got everything changed over and color matched, I've attached a screenshot. (Ignore the layout, I am just getting everything installed and de-bugged before I change the layout of elements to the final setup)
What I did was basically compressed the tabrightE image to 32 pixel height for all of the header elements and then changed the widths to match the original images. I did the same for the sideboxbg image, making it the same dimensions as the original image. It's interesting how it compressed and intensified the colors, I wasn't expecting that when I started. And for some reason the white divider lines got lost in the header. I ended up getting rid of the 3 tab images since the hover was making the red srtipe not line up with the static part of the stripe unless the mouse was over the link. I would like to switch the hover to a different type of effect if possible, if anyone has any suggestions and code changes please feel free.

I can post the image files if anyone is interested.

My question now is where the image file is for the column images, I want to round off the ends of them, too, if possible.

Jade, how would I go about making a flyout catagory sidebox match your template? I am just getting a grasp on coding and need some explicit directions of where to go and what to change. I don't want to use the catagory sidebox that is already on there, I think that I want to use the CSS menu but I would have to completely change it to match your template. I'm still learning about what to look for in changing the CSS of a page.

Thanks!

I'm still having difficulties getting the price to sit below the images on the listing page just like it does on the new products page but may just have to live with it.

However I have noticed an odd situation with the page resizing itself to a larger font size whenever I click a link on my categories list. I have my browser set to normal size but then when I click a link the new page comes up with a larger font size. Any ideas as to why?

The code on my tpl_time_out_default is the same as above, which is the stock template in the template_default folder. I get the same error when clicking on checkout in the header without any content in the cart and there aren't any missing<div> or </div> tags.

There isn't a checkout link in the classic template without going through the shopping cart so I can't compare, but is there a way to write a function like "if shopping cart contents=0 then checkout link redirects to homepage(or some other page), if shopping cart contents= >0 then link goes to checkout"? It seems as if having a link to checkout with nothing in the cart breaks the template. Perhaps a function could be written to only show the checkout link in the header if there are items in the cart?

jettrue, did you have trouble adding Image Handler 2 to this template? Everything installed good and there is a little + in the images but when I mouse over them I get no pop out? Thanks!

I haven't had any conflicts using IH2 with this template.
