Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

The template does not come with admin, cache, docs, download etc. The only folder included in the template package is includes. When you unzip the package you will see: includes, install.txt and license.txt. Download a fresh zip file and unzip it to an empty temp directory.

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Hi Anne,
I have installed this template and I am working on changing varous colours etc. I have however come to a small problem after following all the directions and I was hoping that you could help me.

When going to the admin panel Configuration -> Product Listing I do not have Product Listing Layout Style or Product Listing - Columns per 3 so that I can change these.

I do have 3 columns on front page, new products. specials but I have a single column for the products which I assume would be rectified if I could make the changes in the Admin-> Configuration.

Below is the link to my website

https://www.spiritconnectionart.com/catalogue

Can you please tell me where I have gone wrong in setting this all up.

Thanks :D

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Did you add the sql for the column layout grid mod? It's step 2 of the install.txt file:

===================================================
2. SQL File for Column Layout Grid Module (Optional)
====================================================

Run the following SQL commands into your database. 
The easiest way is to open Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patch and paste them in the box and click Send.

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, 
       configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, 
       last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) 
       VALUES ('Product Listing - Layout Style', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_LAYOUT_STYLE', 'rows', 
               'Select the layout style:<br />Each product can be listed in its own row (rows option)
                or products can be listed in multiple columns per row (columns option)', '8', '40', NULL, 
                now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'rows\', \'columns\'),');

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, 
       configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, 
       last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) 
       VALUES ('Product Listing - Columns Per Row', 'PRODUCT_LISTING_COLUMNS_PER_ROW', '3', 
               'Select the number of columns of products to show in each row in the product listing.  
               The default setting is 3.', '8', '41', NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);

Thanks,

Anne

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Hi,

I've recently installed the template... May I know how to:

  1. Get the currency converter on the top
  2. Get search box beside the top bar
  3. Replace the set of scrolling set of pictures in the middle of the page
  4. Bring the categories section to the left of the page

Thanks in advance

All questions are answered in the install.txt file.

Ummm.. yeah they are.. The reason you are referred to the install.txt file is because Anne has created a VERY complete installation file.. If you follow ALL the instructions in the install.txt file TO THE LETTER and don't gloss/skip over any steps, her templates install PERFECTLY..

From the install.txt file (please note the section you apparently overlooked):

===============================
5. Recommended Admin Settings:

Please note that this template was designed to look best when the ezpages in header and category tabs in header are turned off

To make your site look exactly like the demo:

A. In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Configuration" then "Product Listing"

Copy the values from:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images/product-listing.png

B. In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Configuration" then "Product Info"

Copy the values from:

http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images/product-info.png

**C. In your Zen Cart admin:

Go to "Configuration" then "Layout Settings"

Copy the values from:

**http://www.picaflor-azul.com/free-demos/includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images/layout-settings.png

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

DivaVocals--Thanks for taking the time for such a thorough answer :smile:

Whenever possible I do refer people who have asked questions that are answered in the install.txt file to that file. I believe in people doing their own legwork. It helps the learning process ;-)

I am happy that everthing is all sorted out!

Thanks,

Anne

AnneI do the same in the mods I support for the same reasons.. Plus frankly since I try to take the time to write detailed instruction docs and, I don't want to repeat VERBATIM what's in a document I already crafted with the EXACT SAME information.. In my experience people it often seems like folks want to just copy over some files and TADA!!! it just works automagically!! Seems like lots of folks don't want to read all that blah blah blah.. Reading's for sissies!!!:laugh: they just want their bleepin' add-on to work automagically with no more work required..:laugh:

Okay.. I'm being spicy already..:laugh: Let me go cook.. My BIG annual party is tomorrow..

Anyway I was happy to post some useful information..:smile:

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Hi,

Here are my couple of questions:

Apparently in the Categories section (on left hand side) there is a split b.w categories that I've created and "All Products ..."

I've noticed that in the demo, developer was able to add more items in the second split of the Categories section... May I know how to do that...?

plus, is there a way to create more splits...?

I am sure this must be somewhere in the install.txt file but can't seems to find it...

when I created subcategories (by adding categories to categories) with the image it allowed my users to navigate from the top categories section to sub categories section...

my issue is that the image is appearing in a smaller size... may I know how to control the image size...?

Thanks again for your assistance, support through this platform is exemplary... I think I am almost there to start adding product now...

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Actually your questions have nothing to do with installing and configuring this template at all.. These are basic Zen Cart configuration question, and the best way to get answers is twofold:

  1. Search through the Zen Cart FAQs... (https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php) MANY common questions are answered there
  2. Post your question sin a NEW thread where the community can help you with your Zen Cart setup questions..

Re: Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Hi,

May I know how to increase the font of the sub-category (I am referring to the page that links from the category to the sub-category regions)...

Most of the posts on zen-cart refers to the stylesheet but unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything related...

given that I am not expert in the CSS coding, I changed all the font-sizes (one by one) to see if there is one available for sub-category... but found none...

Please advice...

Thanks
