Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

I hate to be the dumb one here but I'm a newbie so here goes.

I like the Cold Steel Template and read your install instructions. How do you get the include folder to show in the admin C/P? You said to upload the complete include folder, did that, also changed the name include to cold steel and nothing. I don't see it in the Templates in the admin C/P.
I tried a template without the include but just the name of the template and they load just fine.

Thanks,
Bob

If you are using an ftp client such as filezilla then just drag and drop the template includes folder directly to where you have zen cart installed on your server. You may get a message asking if you want to overwrite the folder; in this case just click yes and the files will upload to their proper location.
Do not drag and drop on any of the folder icons that are on your server.

If you need additional help, just send me a PM

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

I am having the same problem as the previous poster. Could you help me understand this please?

I downloaded your files. I read the "read me" file which says: "Unzip the Package and upload the entire includes folder to your server."

To the previous poster, you noted to "just drag and drop the template includes folder directly to where you have zen cart installed on your server"

All of my Zen Cart folders are in a directory called "shop" So I went to shop, and noticed there is already a subdirectory named "includes" there. Thinking I should not overwrite the existing subdirectory, I created a new subdirectory named "template_coldsteel". I uploaded via Fetch on my Mac your includes file into this "template_coldsteel" The admin section can't find it - so I'm am not wondering if I should have overwritten the original includes subdirectory with your file folder. Is this correct? I want to make sure before I obliterate it. <<< EDIT TO ADD: DON'T DO THIS. I just tried it. Luckily I backed up the original includes file so I could restore it! Yikes.

Where does this file folder belong on the server?

Thank you.

Well. I'm glade I'm not the only one having this problem.

All I can tell you delete the include folder you made and put cold steel into;

store/includes/templates folder.

This is where your default template is.
But I was told to "just drag and drop the template includes folder directly to where you have zen cart installed on your server"

That would be where the root files are, that didn't work either. I even took all the files out of the includes folder and moved them to the templates folder, the cold steel showed up in the admin C/P but had flaws it.

All I'm waiting on is a simple installation procedure.

Good Luck

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Thanks Bobb2. It is a nice looking design and I wish I could figure it out - but nothing seems to work for me. It was kind of the developer to create it and offer it - but I just must not be doing something right.

I've reconsidered the whole thing and am going to go back to paypal's add to cart buttons. I know it doesn't have all the features that zen does, but I'm only selling a few different items and need inventory tracking only. I know I can control the design easier myself with the paypal add to cart thingy - so I'll just give up while I'm failing with the whole zen thing.

This is no dis to zen or the template developer either - I'm just not cut out for the technical coding.

Thanks anyway.

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Ok, lets do this, I don't like all this coding either. This forum is slow to respond and need to talk in common fokes language.

I got mine working by doing this::clap:

take and open the includes folder, open languages folder, remove the cold steel folder and put it in zen cart languages, open english folder and put in zen cart english, do same with modules in zen cart, do same with templates in zen cart.

Good Luck,

Bob

Slow to respond? You've made 10 posts and the average time to respond to them was around an hour. Not to mention the additional assistance given to you by haredo.

Not sure what coding you're talking about.

The file structure of the template is the same as the Zen Cart Structure:
All the necessary folders/files are located in the includes folder of the template.

One can either upload (FTP) the entire includes folder to the server and the template folders/files will go where they belong.

OR (as you've apparently done)

One can open the includes folder and each of the necessary folders/files and upload them individually to the appropriate location on the server.

Not sure how you tell time but respond time was 3 hrs. Not counting the private message I sent you. Neither here or there.

"You can just FTP the whole /includes directories to your site".
This is not a good discription on how to. Should say upload includes folder to override existing includes folder.

Thank you for your help and yes haredo is the man, Very good teacher and well indepth explantations of how to use Zen Cart. Learned more from haredo in a hour than in three days of reading on this forum.

Don't mind asking for help, giving credit where credit is due and don't ming Donating for good advice.

Please be assured that I don't want to be a php programer. If I didn't have so much time in this and know what I know now I would have bought a cart.

I guess this will piss everyone off, I'm sorry but we all are not php people.

Thank You,
Bob

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Love the layout of this template, however I have a question. I've made significant changes (all graphics have changed, as well as the position of many of the boxes, etc). Am I able to change the 'Cold Steel Template Design by Clyde Jones' text in the footer? I've looked through every file but cannot find it.

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Hi Clyde,
I am brand new at PHP and Zen cart. Have spent ages looking for some step by step guides on changing header content.

I have .swf file that i want to use as my header it also has the navigation on it.
Where do I include it on the cold steel template header? A
nd what can I take out of the header? I have noticed that if I take out

<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>

then the page is blank.

I managed to get my flash to work in the original template with zen cart but I really want to use your 2 column set up.

Some help to start would be great.
Thanks
Renate

Can you post the code you used for this?

Then I can figure out where it should go.

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Here is the code
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="includes/templates/iqtpl/images/flash/3427.swf" width="716px" height="180px">
<param name="movie" value="includes/templates/iqtpl/images/flash/3427.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#000000">
<param name="menu" value="false">
</object>

the address is
https://www.cardstands.com.au

I placed this code inbetween the following

<div id="headerWrapper"> <div align="center"> <!--bof-branding display-->

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="includes/templates/iqtpl/images/flash/3427.swf" width="716px" height="180px">
<param name="movie" value="includes/templates/iqtpl/images/flash/3427.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#000000">
<param name="menu" value="false">
</object>

<!--eof-branding display-->

You will see here I am not sure how to get rid of the tagline....
I can't for the life of me get rid of the white block that appears behind my links. Any ideas as to where this is on the css?
THanks a heap

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

First: find the following section of code: Delete the highlighted portion and replace it with your code.

<div id="logoWrapper">
<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
<div class="date"><?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG);?></div>
    <div id="logo"><?php echo zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT, HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT);?></div>
<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>
    <div id="taglineWrapper">
<?php
              if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
      <div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>
<?php
              }
?>
<?php
              if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
                if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
      <div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
                }
              }
?>

    </div>
<?php } // no HEADER_SALES_TEXT or SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 ?>
</div>

Second: find and delete this section of code:

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<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>

Re: Cold Steel Template Support Thread

Thanks so much that is a ripper!!

There is now a pretty big gap between the flash and the top of the main page. How do I reduce this?

In the CSS accompanying this template there are so many text variations for the different columns and categories. Can I delete these and just have global settings for my a: links?

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

This will reduce the gap.
find the following declaration and add the highlighted portion:

#logoWrapper{
display:none;
margin:0;
height:112px;
width:917px;
position: relative;
top:0;
left:0;
}

You can modify the template any way you want to achieve the look you want.
