Cold Steel Template Support Thread

[Celtic]

Hi Clyde,

To parrot others, thanks for your work and for providing cold steel for free.

I've just upgraded to ZC 1.3.9.b and to Cold Steel 2.

Your comment above about changing the logo size. That's ok to make the logo smaller, but making it bigger results in a white gap between the grey background at the top and the one behind the tabs.

A question though, if you'd be so kind... The new Tabs are great, but they show both the 'Login/Register' tab and the 'My Account' tab. Is there a way to get it to show Login/Register on its own until the user logs in, then only show the My Account tab?

I haven't checked yet, but I assume it's relatively easy to move the My Account tab before the About Us tab?

link to your site?

open includes/templates/cold_steel/css/stylesheet.css

find the #logowrapper declaration and adjust the height statement to match the height of your new logo.

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

find the following section of code

<div id="navMain">
    <ul>
    <li<?php echo (($this_is_home_page) ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'logoff') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'login') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>
<li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'contact_us') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'account') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li<?php echo ((in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'checkout_shipping,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,checkout_success'))) ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'shopping_cart') ? ' class="current">' : ' class="cart">');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

and replace it with the following:

<div id="navMain">
    <ul>
    <li<?php echo (($this_is_home_page) ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'logoff') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'account') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'login') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>
<li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'contact_us') ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li<?php echo ((in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'checkout_shipping,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,checkout_success'))) ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'shopping_cart') ? ' class="current">' : ' class="cart">');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Hi there. I was pretty much forced to upgrade to the latest Zen Cart and ColdSteel 2.0 but I have a problem now. I want my ez-pages to show up in this bar (ezPagesTop) but they do not. In fact right after the installation, this bar is completely empty. If I define a new ez-page it shows only in the footer but not at the top. Did I have to enable this function somewhere else because I already enabled id in e-z pages settings ?

PM me the link to your site.

I really can't tell what might be the problem from the screen shot.

Does anyone know how to remove this border around "buy" button on product info ?
Nevermind I fixed it :)

This should help.

just unzip the file and upload the images to includes/templates/cold_steel/images

Attachment 6392

Clyde, the above reply links to an attached file that I presume contains a 'star.gif' image. Unfortunately that attachment doesn't exist any longer for me to get it for my site.

The star.gif image doesn't exist in the ColdSteel 2 download by the way.

I copied the star.gif of your website and put it into the folder mention above, but it still shows the 'star.gif' text instead of the image. Did the original attachment contain some other fix as well as the star.gif image?


One other question about this. On the Contact Us and Login pages, it shows the text '= Required information', but the symbol (presumably the star) indicating the required information isn't shown. I don't think this is the same issue as above, as it isn't showing the 'star.gif' text in place of the image either. I had a look in the template and it doesn't appear to have been included in the code. In case I'm looking in the wrong place, where should I be looking?

Thanks for any help you can offer. I'll PM you the link as the site isn't live yet.

(Thanks for your earlier help with the Login/My account tabs.)

By default Cold Steel does not use the star.gif image.

to correct this issue open includes/languages/cold_steel/english.php

find the following lines of code and make the indicated changes.

define('FORM_REQUIRED_INFORMATION', '* Required information');
define('ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL', '*');


I'll include this in an updated version of the template.

Thanks Clyde. Got it sorted.
