Re: Changing front page settings

A picture's worth a thousand words, but generally useless when figuring out this problem. A link is so much gooderer.

Re: Changing front page settings

Just trying to crowd too much into a small space.

I'd change the mainWrapper width to 900px and set the logoWrapper background-repeat to no-repeat.

900 is not a bad width with today's monitors, but you will need to add 148 extra pixels of width to the graphic or work on centering it. As it is now, the graphic is wider than the wrapper.

You could set the logoWrapper to margin-left: 74px, but I think it would look better with the black all the way across.

Re: Changing front page settings

I made more room by eliminating the right side boxes, the product showcase area is now bigger, but the alignment of the text, pricing, buynow buttons are still not correct with the image for each item:

Re: Changing front page settings

Sorry, should have looked earlier.

You are using a template designed for version 1.3.6. What version of Zen Cart are you running?

Re: Changing front page settings

Darkness is for 1.3.6

All bets are off as to whether you will ever get it to work well with 1.3.8:cry:

Re: Changing front page settings

You MIGHT be able to modify the css, but I'm seeing a lot of tables in the source instead of divs.

Darkness is one of the templates shown at (sorry, site offline), but I think they changed the css to match 1.3.8
