Cold Steel Template Support Thread

[thevagr1]

Great thanks for your quick help.

I am having a bit of a play at the moment.
2 things.

1.I can't seem to find the code for the shopping cart. It is not appearing on your template. Where would I find this? I want to add this to the very top of my page.

2. My category links work until I add product then it comes up blank. Am I missing something basic here?

it also has the navigation on it.[/B]
Where do I include it on the cold steel template header? A
nd what can I take out of the header? I have noticed that if I take out

Is this no longer the case? If so, I hope you have a backup copy of includes/templates/cold_steel/common/tpl_header.php. The changes you requested for this file took out the normal navigation for the template.

I'd suggest you upload a clean copy of includes/templates/cold_steel/common/tpl_header.php



As for the blank page download and install theDebug Error Logging Utility once installed you can check the error log to find out what the problem might be.

Thanks Clyde,

Yep I have uploaded a fresh copy and taken out my header. There is no checkout box up there
Anywhere else I should perhaps look?

I still have the default templates etc. up on the site would they be affecting things?

Any changes I have made I put into templates/myname/common as per the zen instructions.

Hmmm suggestions?

Woo Hoo fixed the categories section thanks very much.

Still not sure about the shoppingcart deal though.

I see on you sample site that the navigation is horizontal at the top with the shoppingcart link. Maybe I should re load the files from your site and try installing them again.

Any other thoughts?

ooh I also want to get rid of the reviews section. Have had a look in the admin site and can't seem to find out how to get rid of it.

You can always download the template from the downloads section of the forum.


for the reviews: you can turn off the sideboxes:
admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller

You can turn off the button on the product info page

admin -> catalog -> product types (click the edit layout button)

Show Product Reviews Count set to 0
Show Product Reviews Button set to 0

Hey Clyde,
I have stripped my ideas back and am making it more simple. I think it is all sinking in also

What I need to do is to have active link in the category section be a specific colour. I have tried changing the css stylesheet at around line 669 but it doesn't make a difference.

Where else should I be looking?

Add the highlighted section and change the color declarations to suit your needs.

#categoriesContent{
margin: 0;
padding: 0.4em 0.4em 10px 0.4em;
background: #333333;/* url(../images/sidebox_content.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:bottom;*/
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight:bold;

}
#categoriesContent a:link {
padding: 0 0 .4em .5em;
color: #333333;
}
#categoriesContent a:visited {
color: #000;
}
#categoriesContent a:active {
color: #000;
}
#categoriesContent a:hover {
color: #000;
}

Okay, have done this but the active colour does not work. I also tried changing the .sideBoxContent

.sideBoxContent a:active {
color: #76950b;
}

this also doesn't seem to work.

Is there another section that is working over this maybe that I should option out?

No these will/should work only within the categories box:
Try rearranging the declarations as show below:

#categoriesContent a:link {
padding: 0 0 .4em .5em;
color: #333333;
}
#categoriesContent a:visited {
color: #000;
}
#categoriesContent a:hover {
color: #000;
}
#categoriesContent a:active {
color: #000;
}

[thevagr1]

Tried that... still not working, checked the cache for debug info but nothing there either?

I have made the following code the same also so there is no crossover.

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}

a:visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover {
color: #76950b;
/*background: #fff;*/
font-weight: bold;
}

a:active {
color: #76950b;
font-weight: bold;
}

not sure what to try next....
any other suggestions
thanks so much
