An Upscale Boutique Support Thread

You would change the banner's link in admin/banners: Banner URL. That's the link one goes to when clicking the banner, and of course you can set it to other areas of your site. Or don't link to anything.

As for alt, from what I see that's what you name the banner.

Or you can hand-make everything in the html text area of the banner, but it will override current banner using only photo.

Prolite:

Hi. How do I do that? I would like to change the ALT text as well as the link.

You can set the banner url in admin--tools--banner manager---Banner URL: The alt text will be the same as the "Banner Title:"

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne

I have been using the Upscale boutique just over a month now, but at the beginning of this month, all the items which were unsold showed up as "New Products for July" regardless of when they were added to the site.

How do I ensure that only new products added to the site are shown in this category for that respective month?

If you do a search on the forum you will find the answer. There is also an article in the FAQ's section about how to specify which products are "new". This has been asked and answered many times.

OK thanks, I found an answer after reviewing FAQand searching for the correct terminology in the Forums. Found the following old post:-

Did you try to use the built in settings for defining what New Products are in the Configuration ... Maximum Values ...

New Product Listing - Limited to ...
Limit the New Product Listing to
0= All Products
1= Current Month
7= 7 Days
14= 14 Days
30= 30 Days
60= 60 Days
90= 90 Days
120= 120 Days

I am happy that you figured it out ;-) Thank you for posting your solution.

The template does not have ezpages disabled. The template looks best when the header ezpage links are not used so they are not styled. I would recommend using wordpress for your blog program.

I have been having issues with my site such as crafty syntax disappearing, an additional search box appearing, etc. I have asked my host provider to restore my site and they said the backup was corrupt so a restore was not possible and they restored the broken website again. Since I have many issues I would just like to begin with, How can I remove the extra search box from the top left side of my page?

If you post a link to your site I can take a look. If your site has been hacked, you might want to start with a fresh install of zen cart and the template and add your database.

Thanks Ann, I am not sure how to start again. I would not know where to begin. If you could take a look that would be great!

Thanks,

To start again, you will basically, export your database, install a fresh version of zen cart, drop the default database and then import your old database back in, upgrade your databaseif necessary, and then re-install the template package.

Are you using Column Layout Grid ver 2.x for this template? I already have that mod, and want to make sure that this won't cause a problem.

Yes, the template comes installed with the column layout grid module. You will just not upload the sql patch included in the template package.

Hi Anne, I've come back to try and get my store going again (time seems to get away from me!) and I'm still working with this template, it's beautiful!
There's one little bit though that doesn't seem to align and I can't figure out quite where to look for the code to edit it or remove it.

Where there is a dark grey border and then the damask border below the header, my categories appear in white. They sit right on the break between the dark grey and the damask though. I would like to either just remove the categories from appearing there, or align them to appear over the grey part which would also require increasing the size of the grey part a little.

I've been over the CSS Stylesheet file but I'm not quite sure which part might be referring to the grey and I'm also not sure where to look for the code to just remove the categories from this area.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

If you follow the admin settings in the readme.html file you will see that the template is designed to be used with the categories menu tabs turned off. Go to admin--configur########--layout settings.

How can I reduce the blank space at the top of a category listing? I would really like to get the Category description, results filter, "displaying products x to y (of zproducts), and the page selector in the space to the right of the category picture.

If that change could also translate to product info, that would be nice too.

Are you talking about the product listing page? You can move elements around or elimate space, etc. by using css and editing the includes/templates/an_upscale_boutique/css/stylesheet.css file.

Is there any possibility that you could be a little more specific?

Without doing the customization for you I can't really be any more specific ;-)
