Cork Board Template Support Thread

[clydejones]

Thank you for responding!

Yay! I was successful in question #1, (removing the box with the red x) Thank You!

For question #2 (fixing the calendar), I checked to see if the file includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/cork_board/cork_board_defines.php was in the right location, it was, but I deleted and re-uploaded anyway, just to see if that would fix it, but it remains the same.

Thank you for the help with question #3 (changing the color of my sideboxes), I will work on finding my new graphics

About question #5 (deleteing my nav box), instead of deleting it then, could you help me move it to the right side above the search box? I would need to fix the "HOME" link to directly link back to Zen Cart and not my intro page. Is it also possible to change the graphic or colors of the nav box?

Thank you so much!

Since the navigation section is not a sidebox, the short answer is no.
I suppose you could create a sidebox using the navigation code from tpl_header.php.

Again you can use the default menu.gif graphic as a guide and create a new menu.gif

make sure these definitions are present in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions//cork_board/cork_board_defines.php

//definitions used for the calendar that appears in the header
define('DATE_FORMAT_DAY', '%d'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_MONTH', '%b'); // this is used for strftime()
define('DATE_FORMAT_YEAR', '%Y'); // this is used for strftime()

Thank you! I would like to do this, but I have no idea how, would you be able to guide me through the steps?

I checked the cork_board_defines.php file and all the above info was there. I copied and pasted yours just to be doubly sure; however, nothing changed...

Thanks Clyde...Debbie

Since my last post I've gone through my stylesheet and compared it with the original corkboard looking for some mistakes. I found some that I had made in the calendar entries, fixed them, all it did was move everything over to the right. Then I copied and pasted the whole calendar section from the original file to my file, and still, the same. Maybe I can just delete the calendar? I really don't see that it's a necessary part of my design. (I would need to know how to do this please!)

open includes/templates/cork_board/common/tpl_header.php

find and delete the following section of code.

<div class="calendar">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="year"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_YEAR);?></div>
<div class="month"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_MONTH);?></div>
<div class="day"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_DAY);?></div>
<!--<div class="date"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG);?></div>-->

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! That worked! Thank you sooooooo much!

This would be my next task, if you would be so kind to help me!

(Also, I've tried adjusting the length of my footer to no avail, as you can see, it's rather long!)

[debtag]

PS...speaking of footers, I just noticed the address in the footer, I'd rather that wasn't there!)

open includes/templates/cork_board/css stylesheet.css
find the following declaration and make the highlighted change.

#footer {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
background: url(../images/footer_bg.gif);
width: 850px;
height:112px;
clear:both;
}

That will effectively make the footer section shorter but you should really create a new footer_bg.gif graphic that is 850w x 112h

open includes/templates/cork_board/common/tpl_footer.php

find and delete the following section of code

<div id="footerLogo">
<div id="footerLogoText"><address><?php echo nl2br(STORE_NAME_ADDRESS); ?></address></div>
</div>

CLYDE! YOU DA MAN! Thank you so much!

Now if you could tell me how to:

1. Change the FONT in the SIDEBOXES
2. Change the FONT in the NAV BOX
3. Change the HOVER colors in box as well...

I think I will be a HAPPY ZENNER!

FONT

size? color? face?

[debtag]

I think the size on the left sideboxes is good, (I don't have a clue what size it is.) I would like the right sideboxes to be the same. I would like to use "Playbill" font (it looks western.)

As for the hover color, I don't know yet. I'm trying to find one that I like, (looking at hex charts).
