All Business template Support Thread

[picaflor-azul]

I haven't done any but the last developer must have done some. Any recommendations on which files I should revert to the original zen cart files to fix the issue?

I would recommend contacting the developer to see what has been edited. If you don't have any custom programming done, I would recommend starting from a fresh install and importing your database.

You might also try posting your problem to one of the other zen cart forums/threads where more people will see it and may be able to offer you help. I know that it is frowned upon to double post, but I think that it would be o.k., in this instance since I can not figure this out for you and it is not a template specific problem.

I figured it out on my own. The setting in Define Page Status in Admin for Define Main Page Status needs to be set to 1 It was set to 3 which shut off all display on the page. Thank you for all of your help.

Another quick question how do I get this page to display in columns instead of rows?

2. Select the Template
=============================

Log into your Zen Cart admin:

Under the "Tools" menu choose:
-Template Selection
-Edit
-Choose "All Business" from the dropdown menu
-Click update

If you do not see it, confirm that ALL files have been uploaded for this template, especially includes/templates/all_business/template_info.php


Confused? Sorry?

====================================================
2. SQL File for Column Layout Grid Module (Optional)
====================================================

Run the following SQL commands into your database. 
The easiest way is to open Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patch and paste them in the box and click Send.

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, 
       configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, 
       last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) 
       VALUES ('Product Listing - Layout Style', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE', 'rows', 
               'Select the layout style:<br />Each product can be listed in its own row (rows option)
                or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)', '8', '40', NULL, 
                now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'rows\', \'columns\'),');

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, 
       configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, 
       last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) 
       VALUES ('Product Listing - Columns Per Row', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW', '3', 
               'Select the number of columns of products to show in each row in the product listing.  
               The default setting is 3.', '8', '41', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);

Sorry, you must have the pre-updated version of the template files.

How do I make a division in the Categories box for differrent kinds of items? Or make a second box? Right now it's all watches, but I'd also like to have something for "Other Items." Again, either a second box or a division of space after the watches with a header/title in the same font and color as Watches, Information, etc.

Just like with the watches, the new categories of items should automatically be placed there when I create them in Catalog-Products-Create.

This is not a template specific question so I would recommend asking this one on another forum. If it were me, I would use the default zen cart functionality. I would return the "watches" header to "categories" and then create categories and sub categories within the categories box. There are a few modules that will allow you to always show the sub categories in the category box. You can do a search on the forum for the threads relating to them.

Hi Anne! We "met" on the thread where I thought the Estorenow slider posed a security issue:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167142

Since then I came across your awsome all business template. Actually, my nephew who does design work for our business sites pointed it out, he really likes it.

More and more nice zen cart templates are coming out and I've tested a few recently. I think your all business is finally "my" look:

http://www.prommart.com/

Not yet using the slider, as I have to determine what to put on it, so static pic for now. I figure I can even use your slider pics by slapping my products here and there.

Now, I am one who STRONGLY advises against trying to modify a nice template too much...or even at all; pretty much try to use it out-of-the-box. I've seen too many templates over time "modified" by newbies into real road-kill. And that includes me and others in our company. The site no longer looks like the nice template that first caught the eye.

Anyway, IF I were to modify, it might be taking the text color up a shade or two; while the light grey on my monitor looks nice and fits the look, it might be hard to read. Is it hard to read? Do you have a color code or two you might recommend to test?

Also not sure about my current logo, but that's another issue.

Nice job!

Steve

PS: We'll be testing your all business and aberdeen templates on other sites; but I see all business for this site.

Steve--Thank you for your kind words. I am happy that you like the template package

You can definitely use the images that I have included in the slider. All is released under the GPL and I started from public domain images. The image showing currently on your home page is not one of my images though so be sure to check the copyright situation before using it. Just be sure that when you edit the define_main_page.php through the zen cart admin that you have the "plain text" selected in the text editor drop down menu

If you want a darker grey I would recommend #444444. #181818 is a bit darker still.
