Modern Zen [RI07] Template

Oh yes and by the way jdw1979, unless I have misunderstood your question (which is not stupid in any way) in post #70, the sliding banner is not included in this free template!

You can buy it from the template author who is a very nice chap or you can use any propietory slider available on t'internet. I chose to use ALEO Flash Banner Maker.

Hi,

On my front page I wish to have the main content area + a few right hand side sideboxes. However when I go into "tools" - "layout box controller" and switch off the LH sideboxes and turn on the RH sideboxes - I just get a blank right hand column.

Am i missing something or do I need to change some code?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Hi robsnowden,

You should look into stylesheet.css and find:

#headerWrapper{
	width: 985px;
	height:163px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	background-image: url(../your_URL_to_image.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: top;
}

Take NOTE that I have changed the code to fit my site, so you'll probably have it different.

If you use the #logoContent with the image logo (png Transp.) you just have to use:

#headerWrapper{
	width: 985px;
	height:163px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	background-color: #yourcolor;
}

Hi Shully

Thanks for your reply.

Yep I have already done something very similar, my code is:

#headerWrapper{
width: 940px;
height:110px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image: url(../images/header.jpg;
}

Sadly the gap is still there!

Hi Rob,

Same location (stylesheet.css) look for "margin-top(or bottom): sizes" for selectors:
#smallNaviHeader
#navEZPagesTop
#navBreadCrumb
.searchHeader

... and start playing with dimensions. NOTE that you could use "-" (minus) for your value numbers.
Please NOTE that (if you need) you may change the size of "#headerWrapper" on high: value.

As seen from your pict., you may start playing with margins in that order, as I post them.

PLEASE! BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! "stylesheet.css" :lamo:

Rob,

Also look for:

#logoContent{
	width: 305px;
	height: 70px;
}

#logoContent span{
	padding-bottom: 86px;
	padding-right: 246px;
}

... and play with the hights or paddings

shully

Thanks - sorted it following your suggestion in the following:

#navEZPagesTop {
background: url(../images/bg_navi.png) no-repeat top center;
width: 948px;
height: 44px;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 0px;

(reduced margin-top to 0px)

Thanks once again for taking the time to assist.

I installed the template as described and nothing. When I go to Admin/tools/templateselection it isn't there?

What went wrong?

In addition to this I tried to upload another few templates but none of them are going through?

Well I got the templates to show up including this one when I go to the admin/tools/template_selection section and I can even select the preview and it shows up. I set it as my template choice and now when I go to my website it doesn't show up anything. The page is blank. Nothing shows up at all, but when I change it back to a different template it works.

Can anyone say where the files should be placed so that I can claify if I put them in the right place.

Thanks guys and gals! :)

Hi,
I'm having some problems with this template. Great looking bye the way but I cant seem to figure out how to get the top navigation (buttons) to show. All there is is the breadcrumb under the logo.
Any help would be very much apreciated.

Regards,
Stuart.

Hello Stuart

Welcome to the forum. Your first post.... ahh takes me back!

The top navigation bar will appear as soon as you create your first EZ page (and assign it to show at the top of course). Once you do this the bar will appear and will populate itself for each further EZ page you create and assign to show at the top. EZ pages can be set to show on top of page, bottom of page and/or side box - any or all positions.

The 'Buttons' will take the names of your EZ pages so try not to make them too long or you will not have much room for many buttons on this bar.

If you still have problems shout!

Hope this makes sense.

What I love most about this theme is the side boxes.
Great job on them!:smile:

Would anyone have an idea how to put a bit of padding around the products layout boxes.

We have long text descriptions of some of our products and they overlap into each other as you can see here ...

Thanks in advance !

Padding: All in the template's CSS

I used Firebug to identify changes.

Hello, i'm having some error over here. The layout of the template is messed up, is there any method i could position it manually? And what are the steps to edit the positioning of the boxes, thanks!

I am experiencing the same issue - does anyone know why this is happening??

Hi guys
Absolutely love this template, just started work on our second site and definitely using this one.
Tried everything on here to get the LRG image to work with no luck anyone got any ideas?
How did you get it to run?

With the sql file do i need to run it in my browser?

Does anyone know how to change the menu colors + the background stripes? I want to remove the stripes on the background.

Thanks let me know!

Hi All,

Nice Template ...
However, I suspect it is not compatible with with my version of php - php-4.4.9

• Clean Install ZC 1.3.8a (not patched)
• Modern_Template v1.1 (also v1.2)
• CSS/JS minify OFF

I realize the CSS/JS Minify requires a later version of php

My problem:
It appears the popupWindow function is now broke
e.g. Larger Image, Shipping Estimator , etc

I have read the entire thread and tried reapplying the .sql from the css_js_Loader
Still , no go ....

Is the entire template dependent on 5.x php ?
or
Does anybody have the workaround?

Best Regards
Smile
