Cold Steel Template Support Thread

[clydejones]

I love your template thanks!! I am very very new to this...so please treat me like a 5 year old! :)

I read through most of this thread trying to answer my questions..but am not getting it..

1) I want to center my Logo in the header..how do I do that?

2) I tried to increase the size of the logowrapper..but end up with a big white space..how do I get rid of the white and increase the grey so it is grey behind my logo?

3) I un/commented the sections you indicated to bring up the menus on the top and bottom...they show up on the top..but not in the right location (it was even like this before I started mucking with the logo/header)... how do I get it into the right location? and the footer one does not show up at all...??

You can see what I am trying to explain here

http://shuruba.com/zencart/

I have just started setting this up and working with Zencart..so step by step instructions would be appreciated :)

Thanks in advance!

.leftBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
margin: 0em;
background-image: url(../images/redhead.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: #ca004c;
font-family: MyriadPro,verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
}

why is my font still black in my heading?

h3#categoriesHeading {
font-size: 1.2em;
color: #fff;
line-height: normal;
}

I want my font to be white, have a background color & image header (I have that now).

I even used the information element by firefox..arrgghhh...

open includes/languages/cold_steel/english.php

check the definition at around line 281, it should read as follows:

define('ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL', '*');

Great Template Clyde, thanks.
This is my first go around with Zencart so please ear with me If I am being a fool.

U have a couple of minor issues.

1.) Trying to put a background color behind the Categories heading, no matter what I do i just cant get it happen. I have manged to get background colors behind the other block headers but I cant get the backgrounds to fit the width of the column.

2.) On the latest/newest products, I would like to have the images left aligned and the description/price to the right aligned to the top of the image. Also Is it possible to put a border around the images?

Heres is a site link

here is a mockup link so you can see what I am trying to accomplish


Thanks for any help in advance

for number 1:
open includes/templates/cold_steel/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declarations and make the highlighted changes.

#categoriesHeading {
margin: 0;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
background:#016215;
border-bottom:1px solid #5e5f5e;
/*background: url(../images/sidebox_header_bg.gif) no-repeat;*/
font-weight: bold;
}

.leftBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
margin: 0em;
background:#016215;
/*background: url(../images/sidebox_header_bg.gif) no-repeat;*/
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
}

------------

For number 2:
This is the default display for the new products "center box".
Since the template DOES NOT touch this Zen Cart Core file, in order to change the display to what you wish, you will need to edit:

includes/modules/new_products.php

Once you've made your edits, save the edited file to includes/modules/cold_steel/new_products.php

Your a star!! Thanks so much for your help!

[sketchyvalley]

Thanks again for your help, one thing I am still having an issue with is putting a border around the product images. I found in the stylesheet.css on line 1311

a img {
border:1px none;
}

If I edit that and say make it

a img {
border:1px solid;
}

It puts a border around the images but also around any other image that is present, including buttons.

Any ideas how to just add a border to products only?

Thank you so much in advance
