Hallo,

At the login page, of forest path v2 template, there are 2 columns. One to be filled by new customers and another to be filled by returning customers.

If someone fills the "new customers" column and the email address already exists in the database, an error appears that notifies the user to log in with his existing email address.

However, when this error appears, the column of the "returning customers" (where he could eventually log in) disappears.

Is it possible to prevent this from happening?

Kind regards,

That is the default behavior for Zen Cart and cannot be changed without some extensive re-writing.

Oh ... OK, thank you!

P.S. I might consider installing the Fast and Easy Checkout module.

Hallo again ...!

I am trying to install Fast and Easy Checkout-1.8.1 which requires the CJ Loader module to be installed.

As it says in the installation guidelines

Please note that this module contains the file “includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php”, if you have a file in the same folder you may want to merge the content of the 2 files. (If you have been using Zencart's coding standards then more than likely you should not have this file here).

Indeed there is a file in includes/templates/forest_path/common/html_header.php which is radically different than the file provided by CJ Loader.

Is it safe or sound to merge those 2 files?

I hope I do not bother you much!

Kind regards,

Make a backup of your files first.

OK, I am afraid that even if it works at the begining it might provide an error at sometime later that it will be difficult to trace its root.

Since I do not know much about php, I should follow the quoting "if unsure, say no".

If you have any questions about that specific mod you should check the support thread.

Finally, I merged the files!
(sometimes ... insomnia does not help much!)

Fast and Easy checkout is a great module. It features advanced options presented in a very friendly manner to the final user using java scripts, providing choices like one-page-checkout and check-out-without-account.

However, I will not be using it because it is "kind of hacking" the neat and tidy coding provided in the forest path template.
It makes me feel that it ineptly injects some advanced programming techniques to my store in a coding manner that has no easy and clean "return back".

Based on these grounds, I consider that the forest path template has very robust and user friendly login and checkout pages, thank you for your contribution.

That's it ... I feel better now!

Hello again Clyde,
Is there somewhere in your template that refers/links to "includes/templates/forest_path/css/stylesheet_bettercategoriesEzInfo.css"? I ask this because I am getting 404 errors with a file name reference of "stylesheet_bettercategoriesezinfo.css" (No capitals). Any ideas? I've had no luck searching for anyone else with this problem....I suppose something HAD to happen with all the upgrades lately.

the correct file name is stylesheet_betterCategoriesEzInfo.css

the categories sidebox uses this css file.

How can I upgrade the FP template I have working in ZC1.38 to ZC1.39.
Can I just copy over files or do I have to start from scratch?
Thanks for any advice

If you upgrade you ZC installation to 1.3.9 You don't need to do anything with the template, it will work just fine in 1.3.9.

Thanks! I decided to just apply the php patch for now and upgrade later.

Hello again Clyde. Thuis list is quiet these days! If it wasn't for me... ;-)
I recently adjusted a font size, at line 318, and have had a customer on a high res, wide screen, say that it doesn't display properly.he says that my "theme is fixed width but it's displaying as a variable width so wrapper_bg.jpg the right edge is down the middle of my screen".
Heres the code section, if you could offer any ideas. It displays fine on my computer though.

#navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo {
    vertical-align: top;
    font-size: 1.2em;
    }
#navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper {
    margin: auto;
    } 
#navColumnOneWrapper {
    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 0.5em;
    }
#navColumnTwoWrapper {
    margin-left: 0.5em;
    margin-right: 10px;
    }

You can try adjusting the width in the following section of the stylesheet as indicated by the highlighted portion:

#mainWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(../images/wrapper_bg.jpg);
text-align: left;
width: 909px;
vertical-align: top;
}

I tried that Clyde, but all it managed to do was squash everything together.
I gather that the customer was referring to the dark line, just to the right of centre. Thats supposed to be on the far right isn't it?

Yes, and that graphic is only 909px wide.

If you want it wider then you'll need to edit it in a graphics program to increase the width.
