Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Yes I just figured that out and it worked. Thank you. Now do I just need to go to the admin in the cart and set the layout up?

admin -> tools -> template selection

click the edit button
Select your template from the dropdown menu
click the update button

admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller

scroll to the bottom of the page and click the reset button

Thanks. Now I'm following your recommendations as far as the layout goes, how do I go about doing this:

STYLESHEET SETTINGS:
The top horizontal category navigation, and the footer IP address are set to display none by default.
To use comment out this declaration:
#navCatTabsWrapper { display: none; }
#siteinfoIP { display: none; }
and un-comment the following two declarations:
/* #navCatTabsWrapper { margin: 0 auto; background: url(../images/navbar.gif) repeat-x; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; }*/

This content is located in the file at: /languages/english/html_includes/ocean_front/define_main_page.php

do you plan on using the horizontal category menu?

If not then you need do nothing.

To edit the main page content, You have two options:

You can use a text editor on your pc - in this case open the following file:
includes/languages/english/html_includes/cold_steel/define_main_page.php

do you editing and then save the file and upload it to your server

The second method would be to use the built in tools that come with zen cart

go to
admin -> tools -> define pages editor
select define_main_page.php from the dropdown menu
and make your edits.

NOTE: make sure the permissions of the file are set to make it writable.

Make sure these options are turned on in

admin -> catalog -> product types -> product general -> edit layout

Show Product Reviews Button
Show Date Available
Show Date Added
Show Product Tell a Friend button

I'm having the same problem. All is turned on but they don't show. Any ideas?

[EAPerformanceParts]

Just want to say thanks for the help! Its time consuming for me but all is working out so far.

Question, how do i make a new tab to be an affiliates page?

[EAPerformanceParts]

Another question, how do you get the sideboxes to show on the right side with the cold steel?

[EAPerformanceParts]

Update on the sideboxes,

I downloaded the jScroller Sidebox Package v1.1, which I thought would fix this. Nothing changed, any ideas?

[EAPerformanceParts]

Your instructions state to rename the your_template files before installing. I missed that the first time around and now the files are already uploaded and it wont let me change the file name. ??

[EAPerformanceParts]

Well now I have bigger problems. I couldn't change the file names and tried a few different things that didn't work.

A few codes got messed up and I was unable to fix them.

So I reinstalled the cold steel and 99% of the work I had done is gone. OMG!!!

LOL, well what am I gonna do now, too late to cry.

Even now when I try to change the file names as stated here:

Before uploading change the YOUR_TEMPLATE directories to match the name of your custom directory.
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes

The custom directory name is cold_steel right? It wont let me change the name. Please help, what am I doing wrong?
