You shouldn't have to add any extra code to get the slider to behave correctly. It works out of the box. If you are having problems I would recommend re-installing the template package or looking to a modification that you made.

Thanks,

While I would understand why you would think there were some changes or alterations, there were not.

It is strange that it works perfectly on single item categories but when there are sub categories the index information appears.

I have done a complete reinsall on a brand new zencart, with a new zip download directly from your site.
Same thing happens.

I have worked with zencart for years so I do know a thing or two and can usually fix things such as this, but nothing seems to work.. which is very strange.

I can take a look at your site but this is not a problem inherent in the template package. See the demo here. The hardware category has sub categories:

OK don't know why it is that way but will figure it out.

Thanks

Hi. Does anyone know why my "additional images" (which I believe are in the proper format: image_1.gif, image_2.gif) overwrites my "Add to Cart" button?

This example: http://tyentsales.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_3&products_id=8

Is it my settings?

(I'm new to all of this -- so thanks!)

Add this:

#productAdditionalImages{clear:both;}

to the bottom of your stylesheet.css file.

the images on the home page are scrolling to fast for my website. i cant read what i put there before it starts to scroll to the next picture. do you mind letting me know how to fix this? i need to slow the counter down or at least make it longer.

You'll need to edit the javascript file in includes/modules/pages/index/jscript_easySlider.php

Thanks,

thanks so much :clap: this helps a ton.

one more thing. do you mind letting me know what files (and/or code) i would need in order to put the slider on another website of mine? i like the template i already have for it but would like to put the slider in it.

You can do a google search for javascript slide show and get tons of results for slide shows you add to other sites.

ok thanks :)

First off, love this template!

I have done some slight mods for our needs and was just starting to get the main page all set up. Had our slides set and went into define page editor to set up the text on the define_main_page.php and stupid me deleted the "stock" text using the HTMLarea and when I refreshed our page, the slider is there but the images won't show now.... I've tried to simply put the code for the define_main_page.php page back in with the same results, text shows, slider is there but images are not??

Any idea what we did and how to get the slider showing the pics again? I'd hate to have to start all over now....

Thanks!

Try using the plain text editor to enter the slideshow code..

After trying a few things I did get it back up and going =) Weirdly I just copied the html from the define-main-page part of the template and it works... swear I tried that before and it didn't. Either way, were good for now =) Thanks again for your help and the OP for designing this too!

Yes, the define_main_page.php file contains php code and must be edited with a plain text editor. There are instructions about this in the detailed readme.html file.

I have been working with your template now for a few days and appreciate that it is a complete template and not "half baked" like so many other free templates are. That being said I have changed a lot simply because of personal preference.

There are 3 things I am having difficulty with:

The first and most important to me is removing the "About Us" link from the Information side box and footer. I have found several references in the code but I don't want to "break" anything so would prefer to know which I should comment out or remove to be safe. I have looked in Configuration - > Define Page Status to see if it added an option for turning it off in the Information side box there but it does not. It is also not in the database at all even though it calls for a status:

if (DEFINE_ABOUT_US_STATUS <= 1) {

    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT_US . '</a>';

Second in priority is how to downsize the footer to just 3 columns. Can this safely be done in footer_menu_defines.php and tpl_footer_menu.php? My site is simplistic and at this time doesn't need a lot of link space.

Last and least important but still a formatting issue added with this template. Is there a way to move the AddThis button to where the Tell a Friend button normally is. At this time I have completely removed the Tell a Friend button as I don't see a need to have both.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I just remember after posting that for the Information box I could just delete the template specific information.php in includes/modules/sideboxes/TEMPLATE/.

However that still leaves the second priority to remove the "About Me" from the footer as well as my other 2 questions.

Thank you.

Yes, edit those files and possible stylesheet.css. Refer to the footer menu module thread for more details (it is this module that creates the footer menu).

Edit the includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/templates/tpl_product_info_page.php fle.
