Auction Product Type

[taogem]

Thank you bramnick..

Another question

The text that tell the status of the auctioned item. It is right under the title of the item. I can't show it here because you would have to be logged in to view it.

It tells how many bids, the current high bid, time remaining..

Any hooo..

How and where might I go to change the size of that text. It is presently almost microscopic

Thanks and having a lot of fun with this mod!

You need to edit the css class or add one for the area you wish to change.

The class 'main' is used throughout the auction page, tpl_product_auction_info_display.php if you add main to your style sheet and add a text size, that would work. you could add your own classes to do more.

.main {
   font-size: 12px ;
    }

I've redesign mine to not use tables and setup my own style classes

Glad to hear you got the email issue sorted out.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the response.

I found this:

/public_html/taogemst_myzencart/admin/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_auction_info_display.php


Here is an area that looks like it is what I am after:

<tr>
<td align="center" class="main"><?php echo TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE .$days_left." days ".$hours_left." hours ".$minutes_left." minutes"; ?>
<?php if (AUCTION_INFO_DISPLAY_PREVIOUS_BIDS_COUNT == '1') echo '&nbsp;-&nbsp;' . $previous_bids->RecordCount() . '&nbsp;' . AUCTION_BIDS; ?></td>
</tr>


If I am in the ball park, then just not sure where exactly to edit in the code you suggested.

</tr>


If I am in the ball park, then just not sure where exactly to edit in the code you suggested.

Have to keep in mind that I'm not using tables and I'm also using a round corner wrapper, but this is how my code looks after editing class="main".

<td class="productAuction biggerText"><?php echo TEXT_DATE_AVAILABLE .$days_left." days ".$hours_left." hours ".$minutes_left." minutes"; ?>
<?php if (AUCTION_INFO_DISPLAY_PREVIOUS_BIDS_COUNT == '1') echo '&nbsp;-&nbsp;' . $previous_bids->RecordCount() . '&nbsp;' . AUCTION_BIDS; ?></td>

Notice I replaced 'main' with two, 'productAuction biggerText'. The 'productAuction' replaced 'main' and 'biggerText' does just that... makes that text larger then normal. Here's what the class is in my '/includes/templates/CUSTOM/css/stylesheet.css' file..

.productAuction  {
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: top;
    padding: 1.2em;

.biggerText {
    font-size: 1.2em;
    }

I replaced the div with td so not to be confusing. Once you add the classes then all you need do is change the style sheet to make changes to your page.

Also,
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_auction_info_display.php
This is your default file structure, if you don't use the override, you'll have a had time upgrading your site later on.

Thanks Dave..

I got it.... !

I opted not to do the :

.productAuction {
text-align: center;
vertical-align: top;
padding: 1.2em;

The text looks good right where it is now. Nice to know I can move it if need be though.

Actually, this was a neat little practice CSS. I learned a little something by doing this.

Any way...... Thanks a bunch..

Is there some way to tell who is bidding on what?

I looked around but can't see anything. Just seems that since it is required to log in before bidding that there must be a record of some kind.

Is there ?

Is there some way to tell who is bidding on what?

This is supposed to be a list of the account numbers of the previous bidders listed on the bid page.
