Forest Path Template Support Thread

No worries Clyde

I have messaged you, don't mean to go off topic!

Appreciate all your help as your right its not a template issue, more a structural change of my preference so this perhaps isnt the place/way to try and work this out!

Cheers

Steve

I am testing the template on my test server. I have one issue I can not figure out.

I made this change:

#categories{
margin: 1.5em 10px 10px 0;
}

removed the ie_stylesheet and it looks correct.

However as soon as a put the mouse over an link or tab the categories disappear.

If I put the #categories back to the original 0 value it works. Any ideas?

Here is a link to the test site: http://gator932.hostgator.com/~n8pbm//

Thanks

I can't duplicate the behavior you describe.

I did notice that you are using IH2 and you need to make sure that you have the following IH2 folders/files in

includes/templates/forest_path/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js
includes/templates/forest_path/popup_image_additional/tpl_main_page.php

Yep that was it. Forgot about the Image Handler stuff..

Thanks

This is an important thing to check using the forest path template as there is a zen bug that prevents your site being indexed by the search engine spiders/robots:

To see if your make sure you have the web developer addon for firefox (a must have in any case) installed. Got to your homepage and press Ctrl+Shift+U.

If you see this at around line 10 of your code then this applies to you:

Fix Part One
Edit the following file: /includes/init_includes/init_add_crumbs.php file, by adding the indicated code, shown in red below:
Code:> if ($categories->RecordCount() > 0) {

  $breadcrumb->add($categories->fields['categories_name'], zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=' . implode('_', array_slice($cPath_array, 0, ($i+1)))));
} elseif(SHOW_CATEGORIES_ALWAYS == 0) {
  // if invalid, set the robots noindex/nofollow for this page
  $robotsNoIndex = true;
  break;
}

Fix Part Two
Edit the following file: /includes/templates/forest_path/common/html_header.php

Change This:

<?php //if (defined('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP') && in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",constant('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP'))) || $current_page_base=='down_for_maintenance') { ?> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

To This:

<?php if (defined('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP') && in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",constant('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP'))) || $current_page_base=='down_for_maintenance' || $robotsNoIndex === true) { ?> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> <?php } ?>

Part two has been included in an updated version of Forest Path and should be available in the downloads section shortly.

Hello all,

I have recently downloaded the forest path template and uploaded it to my server, however I am completely new to this and have no idea what I am doing.
I have been going at this for a week now and cannot get anything to change. :lamo:
When I close my page and then log in it always goes back to the classic template rather than staying forest path.
I have followed all the tips and help file everywhere trying to get everything right.
My brain is fried I'm exhausted and still very much confused.
I even went as far as paying a "professional" a pretty penny to set it all up for me and they couldn't even log in, so they are setting me up a whole new site.:bangin:
I would like to keep this site as well since it has already been paid for, for the next year, but I just can't seem to figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My site: http://oak-tree-gateway.com/index.php?main_page=
This wont stay, next time I log in it will be back to clasic.

I am using filezilla to upload files

I am using eclipse for editing.

Version Zen Cart 1.3.8a

Updates none

Addons none

you should be able to go to:

admin -> tools -> template selection ( click the edit button, select the template from the drop down menu, click the update button )

admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller (scroll to the bottom of the page and click the reset button )

Thank you Clyde.
I have done that, only I have to do that every time I log into my admin area. I log in, click online catalog so I can see what I need to change or work on and it has went back to classic. Then I have to start all over again.

The admin area is not saving what I have done. I have tried editing things in eclipse and it does not change anything either.

On the login page when I click login under 'New Customer? Please Start Your Checkout Here" this line shows:
BILLING_INFO_TEXT
and
under "Returning Customers: Please Log In" this line shows
RETURN_CUSTOMER_TEXT
When I go to the login page using the checkout button under "New Customer? Please Start Your Checkout Here" this line shows
BILLING_INFO_TEXT
and under "Returning Customers: Please Log In" this line shows
RETURN_CUSTOMER_TEXT
I appreciate being pointed towards the solution to correct this.

URL for your site?

also check includes/languages/forest_path/english.php

and find these two declarations: at lines 85 and 86

define('BILLING_INFO_TEXT', 'To create an account, please enter your billing information as it appears on your credit card statement.');
define('RETURN_CUSTOMER_TEXT', '<strong>' . STORE_NAME . '</strong> account holders Please Log In below.');

I did this to fix my log in page. It didn't change anything, it is still the same.
I just don't know what to do anymore, but I do appreciate your help.

make sure you've installed the most recent security patch

clydejones:

kk did that, Thanks for informing me.
The template seems to be staying now, however the rest of the changes are not taking place that I have edited and uploaded.

I'm gonna try a few more things and see what happens. If nothing changes then it will just have to stay that way and I am gonna start adding products. I have well over 6000 products to list and I have already wasted a whole week just trying to set it up:yuck:
Thanks for your help!

Well I just went to check my site and it is back to classic template. I think I am going to delete it all from my server and start again.
Maybe I did something wrong somewhere in there.
Maybe I didn't upload it to the right files. I have so many different files on my server now it is pathetic. I have been reading and trying so much maybe something got mixed up in there.:frusty:

OK so I finally got the site together and put a couple of items on to test out somethings and when I get to the checkout page this is what it shows.
http://oak-tree-gateway.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping

I need to know how to fix the TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_INFO

1. CURRENT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPSTEXT_ORDER_STEPS_1
2. NEXT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2
3. NEXT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_3TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_3
4. NEXT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_4TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_4

Also I would like to delete the info on my shopping cart page from the norm "you may want to add..." where might I find this info?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Edit: I just clicked the link and it wont show what I am talking about it goes to log in.....bummer.
Well instead of the buttons I get what is shown above.

make sure you've uploaded the following:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/forest_path/order_steps_defines.php

admin -> tools -> developers tool kit

scroll to the bottom of the page
enter the text you want to change (you may want to add)

select all files from the drop down and click the search button

You will get a list of files and line numbers where that text appears.

Thanks so much Clyde.

I did as instructed and I fixed the shopping cart page.
I also did as told for the checkout buttons and it changed it from...

1. CURRENT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPSTEXT_ORDER_STEPS_1
2. NEXT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_2
3. NEXT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_3TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_3
4. NEXT_TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_4TEXT_ORDER_STEPS_4

to

Step 1 of 3 - Delivery Information

1. Shipping Information
2. Payment Information
3. Confirm Order
4. Completed Order

However there are still no buttons, only text.
Did I do something wrong?
Please let me know.

Again Clyde Thanks Bunches for all your help. It is much appreciated.:smile:

Which buttons are you referring to?

clydejones:

Which buttons are you referring to?

I believe they are supposed to be buttons...

At the top of the check out page between
Step 1 of 3 - Delivery Information, and
Shipping Information:
Joe Blow
1234 Name Street
what city, NY, 12345

It has 4 white boxes with the following in each box...

1. Shipping Information
2. Payment Information
3. Confirm Order
4. Completed Order

I hope this is helpful.

There are no buttons involved:

The attached screenshot shows what should be displayed:
[Attachment no longer available]

If this is not what you are seeing then you have not uploaded the necessary graphic file that is included with the template.
