Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Dang it.. I give up.. I've tried everything that should work and a bunch of stuff that MIGHT work and then stuff that .. well I didn't know if it would work, but I thought I'd try..

See my test URL below.. How the heck do I close the gap between the slideshow and the middleboxes??

I've been there

I have not cross browser tested this, but you can try:

In includes/templates/custom_template/css/stylesheet_middleboxes.css, take out margin here:

.middleBoxContainer {
	margin-top: 0em;
	}

and add to #navColumnMiddleWrapper:

position:relative; top:-20px;

and then to make things neat in includes/templates/custom_template/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css replace:

#footer {clear:both;margin:0;background-image:url(../images/footer-bk.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat; width:950px; height:200px;margin-top:20px;padding-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;}

with:

#footer {clear:both;margin:0;background-image:url(../images/footer-bk.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat; width:950px; height:200px;margin-top:-20px;padding-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;}

Thanks,

You know what?? this is shoulda been plain old OBVIOUS to me.. I'm embarrassed that I failed to notice it in all my "looking".. I was looking elsewhere in the code (going where the Firefox Web Dev tools were pointing -- even did an old fashioned view source and STILL MISSED this..) Thanks for the BIG assist.. this was a HUGE part of the issue..

You are a doll.. these last two changes really tightened things up!!! I wasn't sure about the last change you suggested until I implemented the first two.. Then it was OBVIOUS why you were suggesting the footer change.. This is EXACTLY what I was looking to do.. Thanks sooooooo much for the assist..

You are sweet.. but seriously I'm REALLY kicking myself over here because the first change is one I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT since it came from my own mod.. This is what happens when you do stuff when you are tired..

Anyway.. thanks for the assist!

Such is the nature of computer programming It is always helpful when you are stuck to get another set of eyes. It's like when you write a paper but the editor catches a typo. Sometimes you can stare at the paper for hours and not even notice the typo until the editor tells you about it.

Thanks,

Hi I have installed your aberdeen template on cart 1.3.9h and love the 2 column layout I have had it for a while and I wanted to install the Simple_Google_Analytics add on.

however I cannot find the includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php

has this file been renamed and how would I find it.
Any help would be great.

many thanks
James

Since I did not edit that file when creating the template package, you will have to create an override file for it.

Thanks,
