Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

picaflor-azul, hi.

in reading the 34 pages of threads, it seems that 98% of the could be resolved by all of the classic_template change to your_template and to read (thoroughly read) your install.txt

i love the design. i just started 2 new websites and intend to use your template on both.

i have only one question. i would like the "slider" images to be my free products offers (ie free bottle with your first order) for the #1 slot then the 4 additional slots the other 4 ways to get free stuff. could i get the image size and formats that i can use for those images. i am limited on my choices of editors, so as many formats as you can name.

87% of visitors to a website spends under 30 seconds on a page. choose one that stands out from the crowd, like this one. great job!!!:hug:

I am happy that you like the template. You can use whatever format or size for the images that you like. See the readme.html file for instructions on using images that are different sizes than those that come with the slider.

The slider is set to use .jpg files but you can use anything you like. You will change the code in the define_main_page.php up at the top if you want to use a different image type or different image names.

Thanks,

Anne

thanks for the answer. i installed the template, and it was seamless.

about 10 minutes after i sent my question i found in the readme.txt the size of the .jpg for the sliders.

hope to have it up and running in a week.

Hi there;

First off thank you for a great template. I've never used one before and it looks great.
Second I really apologize if this question has been asked and answered a million times before, but have been reading over the support thread and my eyes have blurred LOL
I would like to change the color of the side boxes and the header navigation from the rust red to something else.
I assume this is done in the stylesheet but I don't know which code to change. Newbie to Zen.

Thanks in advance
Karen

The parts you want to change are images. What I do is download them edit and overwrite them keep same size and re upload over the existing image while I keep a un edited image in a secondary file in case I mess up. The files you are looking for are in includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images. You can right click on your site in fire fox hit page info then click on the media file and see all the images, names and paths on your site. Hope this helps.

Thanks culbeson. I'll give that a try :D

Hi again
I'm baaack. It's been so long LOL
Ok, I'm going to play with the buttons later for changing colors.
I found a tutorial to remove the Twitter and Facebook links from the footer. But now the copyright right line is crowding into the links above. Here is my site so you can take a look
http://bride-azzled.com

I don't know if it matters or not, but in the tutorial it says to look for this code in the stylesheet

In my stylesheet this code shows as this ( div is span )

Help?

And while I'm here I have another question .... I'm trying to locate where to turn on Tell A Friend. I found a tutorial where to look in Admin/Tools/Design Layout or something ( I forget off the top of my head exactly ) but I don't see anything there. I found the buttons in images.
Was something missed in the install or am I finally blind ? :blink:

Thanks again

If you post a link to your site, I can take a look.

This is exactly correct ;-)

This has been removed in version 1.5 so if that is the version you have installed it is why you can't find it.

I found a tutorial to remove the Twitter and Facebook links from the footer. But now the copyright right line is crowding into the links above. Here is my site so you can take a look
http://bride-azzled.com

In your stylesheet_footer.css file change this:

#siteinfoLegal {padding: .5em 0 0;font-size: 0.9em;text-align:left;width:80%;line-height:normal;clear:both;color:#000;margin-left:50px;float:left;margin-top:-20px;}

to this:

#siteinfoLegal {padding: .5em 0 0;font-size: 0.9em;text-align:left;width:80%;line-height:normal;clear:both;color:#000;margin-left:50px;float:left;margin-top:0px;}

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne

Thanks for getting back with me.
Ahhhh, that explains on the Tell A Friend. Thought I'd finally lost it LOL
I changed to code as you said and it moved the copyright line down out of the links above.
I was wondering, is there a way by chance? to have the line move lower? I played with the px number but couldn't get it to go any lower.
Oh, by the way .... I live for your tutorials. Thank you soooo much for having them. Gigantic help :clap:

Just change the margin-top on the #siteinfoLegal to where ever you want the line to show.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne;

Thanks again for getting back. I'll play with it and see what happens.
Oh, I have another question for you. I'd like to put Volusion Live Chat in the left side of my site. Can I do that? If so, exactly what file should I put the snippet of code in and where?
Thanks again so much for your help Anne. Most appreciated :D

You can add any stable module to the template. I am not familiar with that module so you will have to post to the module support thread for help.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne;

Thanks again for putting up with me.
Is this the right line of code to change the margin ?

#siteinfoLegal {padding: .5em 0 0;font-size: 0.9em;text-align:left;width:80%;line-height:normal;clear:both;color:#000;margin-left:50px;float:left;margin-top:0px;}

I think 0 is as low as I can get it :smile:

Yes, that is correct. You can add any negative or positive number to the margin.

Thanks,

Hi Anne;

Got it .... Yippie :clap:
Thanks for your help and all your hard work for us.
Hopefully I'll leave you alone now LOL

Take care,
Karen

Ok ..... I lied. I'm back LOL
Could you tell me which file and where to change the width of the site? I uploaded an image onto one of the More Information pages and it threw the width out on the page. Here's a look

http://bride-azzled.com/index.php?main_page=page_2

Oh just had another thought (ouch) How do I change the url to reflect the actual page name instead of page_2?
All these iddy bitty details :wink:

You can change the width in the stylesheet.css.

Please do a forum search for changing the url as this question has been asked and answered many times.

Thanks,

Anne
