Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Thank you for the information on the footer menu module I will check into that. I do apologize I was under the impression it was something custom you had put in.

As for the Share button I understand to edit the includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/templates/tpl_product_info_page.php file. I'm sorry for not being more specific the problem I am running into is that this is the only code that when I start trying to move it around brings up some very serious unexpected formatting issues. I thought I would ask on the off chance that you possibly already had experience putting it in place of the tell a friend button.

If you are moving all of the lines of code associated with the AddThis to the proper spot in the file there should be no problems. You need to move this:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xa-4e29ddd060f29e4f"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

You will probably also need to add css styles in the stylesheet.css file.

Thanks,

Anne

I'll apologize in advance if this has been asked, but I've been searching for an answer for weeks now.

My site went live last week, and your template is exactly what we were looking for!

I've managed to enlarge all of the text I need via the stylesheet, but I can't figure out how to make the text in the header search box larger.

Can you point me in the right direction please? Thanks in advance.

Just a suggestion, but it doesn't look like you've turned off the right column.. (Configuration > Layout Settings > Column Right Status - Global)

Thanks, Diva. I double checked...it's off (zero).

hmmmmmm... Your home page content looks "off".. Double check your containers that they don't have a width attribute which is causing them to leave all that white space on the right..

wohoo! I found it. In the stylesheet...FORM, SELECT, INPUT. Just upped it to 1.1em and it works perfectly.

Thanks again, Diva....I'm going to follow up on the container issue. Its only on the main page.

John

Thanks, Diva. You were right! Got the homepage fixed. The width for that text was only 550. :huh:

Thank you for your help :hug:

hey im having some problems with some of the links and editing some of the pages.

here is my URL inorder to see what im talking about if needed.

first, the about us page isnt in the define pages editor(no clue why).
second, the menu in the footer i cant seem to get rid of. i dont
need it. its fine if the grey area covers the copyright words and the
rest of the footer. but i want the sections gone...
actually if i can get rid of the menu in the footer i dont care about the about us page.im just getting quite frustrated about this particular site.... :wacko:

anyway if you can help that would be great and i would really appreciate it.

Thank you for your help :hug:You're welcome.. You can probably take the width out altogether..

Hello ;-) The footer menu is created by a module called footer menu. If you download it from the free software add ons section you can uninstall the module.

If you are missing the about us page in the define pages editor, copy the define_about_us.php file from:

includes/languages/english/html_includes/aberdeen_neutral

to:

includes/languages/english/html_includes

Your site looks great :smile: I am so happy that you are using the template for your website.

Thanks,

I knew this was the template to use the moment I saw it. And I've learned alot lurking here and over on your site ;)

Thank you so much for a beautiful template. I always did WordPress. I just started with ZC 6 weeks ago, and even though my wife hasn't seen me leave my computer, I think the store came out pretty nice.

I just got a call from our newspaper....they are going to run a feature story on our website since we try to feature local artists. I'll make sure I give your site & services a good plug :D

Thanks Anne.

Is there a way to change the brown color in the aberdeen template to Red, and the light green to light brown (Or black)?

Thanks!

Yes, this is no problem. You will need to do a combination of changing images and styles in the stylesheet.css file.

I installed a spanish language pack, which kinda threw a few things out of place, I'm now trying to fix things. My main concern right now is that when it's in English, everythings fine, but when I switch to spanish, the nice slide show disappears and the default big ad about buying the ZenCart user manual takes its place. How would I get the slideshow to run when I'm using spanish?

You have not installed the language pack correctly. To make the slide show and any other things work and look correct in the spanish side you will have to copy the override files in the various engilsh directories into the spanish directories. So for example:

includes/languages/english/html_includes/aberdeen_neutral/define_main_page.php

to
includes/languages/spanish/html_includes/aberdeen_neutral/define_main_page.php

etc.

Hi, your templates is very nice, I have installed it.
but I have some question.
Firstly Should I upload all your package to my server?
or I only need upload the /includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral?

My problem was that 1) when I upload all your package then my
zen cart "admin---tools---templates selection" can not show your
template at the pull down menu. 2) if I only upload /includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral folder then I can edit it but when I click "online catalog" button, it will show my white page, and " ..../index.php?main_page=" on the address bar.

How I solve this problem?

Please read the readme.html file included in the template package for detailed installation instructions including links to video tutorials.
