An Upscale Boutique Support Thread

Hi Anne,

Things are going great- I made a boo-boo somehow with the image...
If you could take a look at itsafairytale.com
and possibly let me know what the heck I have done wrong!?!
Thanks in advance!
Tanya

Hi there,
I am also quite new to Zencart - but have managed to successfully download your beautiful template, and it is working pretty well for setting up my site for the most part :)

However, I have a few queries I was hoping someone savvy could help with:

1. In the demo of An Upscale Boutique, the Sidebar images and Featured products all have the Damask background as a border. This works fine for my main image, but doesn't happen for the smaller sidebar images and featured/new products, just small image - no border. How/where can I fix this?

2. I need to change the Weight for my products from lbs to Kgs. I've trolled through Admin endlessly and can't figure out how to do this.

3. Lastly, the TELL A FRIEND button works, but when it successfully sends the message, the success text overwrites the area where the Header logo is. THis looks bad. How can I get the message to go somewhere else on the page (eg. in the main box?)

Kindest thanks for any help!
Nancy

Please read through this thread. It has already been asked and answered.

This is not a template specific question. Search the forum for the answer, it has been asked and answered many times.

3. Lastly, the TELL A FRIEND button works, but when it successfully sends the message, the success text overwrites the area where the Header logo is. THis looks bad. How can I get the message to go somewhere else on the page (eg. in the main box?)

I need a url to the page with the problem to offer any help.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks for your help, Anne - I did try to search through the respective forums and this thread, but sometimes finding info depends upon what keywords you use..

My site is https://www.vintagevenus.co.uk/zencart and I get a green-backed message behind the header logo saying my TELL A FRIEND message was sent to "name of person". Kind thanks, Nancy

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just posted an update to the template package. It will be available in the free downloads section once approved and is already available on our site for download. The new demo is here:

Hi Anne

I am in the process of trying out some of your templates on a local server running WAMP, Upscale Boutique is the current one I am testing, and I have a quick question regarding the install.txt included with the download.
It mentions copying the values from 3 png files located at http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos-2/includes/templates/an_upscale_boutique/images/product-listing.png, http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos-2/includes/templates/an_upscale_boutique/images/product-info.png and http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos-2/includes/templates/an_upscale_boutique/images/layout-settings.png but these url's are no longer active as they give page not found by your hosting company. Can you tell me if they are available somewhere else so that I can set this up as per your original design?

Many Thanks and keep up the good work with your wonderful templates.

Neal.

Hi Anne

Many thanks for the prompt response.

Neal.

O.k., the updated version is now in the Free Software Add Ons section and available for download!

Thanks,

Anne

Hi, i have installed your template and I am very happy with it.

The only problem I have at the moment is that the text of the detailed products description is very light grey and is difficult to read on some type of monitors.

Where can I change the color of the <detailed products description> text ?

Do not post the same question to multiple threads.

Hi,
This is a great template and I love it, Just got a quick question, what would be the easiest way to make the whole layout a little narrower what would be CSS to edit? I have removed all the sidebars and bassically just want the layout narrower than it is.

Thanks
Taz

It would probably help to give you the name if the site too! it is at www . jamesdavidandco . com

Thanks

Hi,
Just to let you know that i sorted it out using CSS. If anyone wants to know these are the changes I made

Bold parts is where I changed the width

Stylesheet.css

#mainWrapper {background-color: #fff;text-align: left;**width: 850px;**vertical-align: top;position:relative;top:80px;}

#logoWrapper {background-image: url(../images/navsupcolour850.jpg);height: 25px;width: 848px;position: relative;top: 25px;margin: 0px;border:1px solid #8b775f;}

#footer-wrapper {margin-top: 0px;background-image: url(../images/backwhite.jpg);background-repeat: repeat;height: 30px;**width:848px;**border:1px solid #8b775f;}

#navSuppWrapper {margin: 0px;**width: 850px;**height: 25px;color: #fffef4;background-image: url(../images/navsupcolour850.jpg);font-size: 1.2em;font-weight: bold;}

Obviously changed the width of your logo-wrapper and navsupwrapper images.

The problem is my website doesn't look quite right in Explorer 7 it seems the logo-wrapper seems to be positioned much lower. Can you tell me a way I can fix this?

Thanks

The template has been cross browser tested in ie7, ie8, ie9, firefox, safari, and chrome. If you make changes, especially to the css or xhtml, then you will need to do cross browser testing again.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Thanks Anne,

I absolutley thought this too so i I looked at the additional styles sheets. Ie8 was fine. I made a new stylesheet for ie7 and while i was at it made one for ie9 too all well and looking great.

Thanks

Hi,
I have installed your Upscale Boutique template - which is lovely!

I am new to ZenCart, but have managed to customise a few things with the help of the forums / tutorials etc.

However, I am having a problem with a search button, which shows towards the centre of every page on my site (https://www.silver-scales.co.uk).

I have added a search box at the top, so would like to remove the central seach buttons.

Also, I'd like to increase the size of the writing on the information pages / categories / home & login links.

Any advice greatly received!

That search button is hard coded in the template you are using..
Have you read this support thread entirely for the answer yet?

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=39

2. search for this:

3. header-search-button

4. Or you might try this and not see if you have added it twice here

5. admin panel/ tools/ layout boxes controller

shscc:

Also, I'd like to increase the size of the writing on the information pages / categories / home & login links.

These will be controlled in the includes/templates/an_upscale_boutique/css/stylesheet.css

For Information pages notice we have an id that starts in this string <p> blaa blas </p>

So we will find this declaration in the stylesheet.css and look at her properties..

P, ADDRESS {
padding: 0.5em;
}

2. just add the font size you would like..

3. font-size: 1.2em;

A useful helpful tool which is free is download Moxilla Firefox browser along with the add called Firebug or web developer and you can easily find these div's and classes on your web site make a change to see how it works and then edit the stylesheet.css on your server and upload the .php file..

In the admin--tools--layout boxes controller, select the box "sideboxes/search_header.php" make sure that you have set Left/Right Column Status: OFF.
