Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

ladyk:

Hi Anne;

I'm sorry to bother you and this question may have been answered before, but I've gone buggy eyed trying to find both in the forum and on google search.
Here's what I did .... I started out adding a new link from the information sidebox to a new page. Got that done and the link shows in the box, but when I click the link, the page is blank. The new page is in both places, the ezpages in Admin and also in the database. And I can't figure out how to fix this. Here is a link to my site https://www.bride-azzled.com
Also, I semi broke the More Information sidebox. Everything was fine, but I wanted to have the actual page name instead of page 2 extra show in the browser tab and when scrolled over the link in the sidebox. I got the scroll over part to work. But noticed in the sidebox that the links now all said BOX_INFORMATION etc. Got that fixed. But now am having same issue of when click the link, the page is blank and the footer is now missing.
Help? Again, sorry if this has been answered before and really do appreciate all that you do with your templates.

Big Hug,
Karen

Ok. A little rest and some food, and I solved my new link from the Information sidebox. I click the link for Free Delivery Areas and the page shows now.
Yippie.
But still stuck on the links from More Information, or in my case, Help Center sidebox. Question ... I have renamed all the Page 2, 3 etc up to Page 6.
In Admin / Define Page Status, the defines for pages 2 and up are still there. Do I need to change these names? If so, where would I do that?
I tried using the sql patch in one of your tutorials, and made the define for Choose Your Size Status, set it to #1 but when click link from site, the page is still blank.
I'll keep playing. I'll either fix it or break my site trying :blush:

I would recommend looking at the tutorial for how to add more define pages--you can find it by doing a search on the FAQ's section here.

I am having a very strange issue.
I will try to explain but please forgive my ty peing as I have ALS and my typing is not the best :)

here is a link to a cutomer's product

http://www.rsessentials.com/personalized-gifts-candles-favors-c-403_407/bouncy-bouquet-friendship-candle-round-p-14344.html#.UdDspjsm6b4

please note UNDER the main image and BEFORE the Additional Images you will see a link to:

• New Products -

No idea where this came from.

Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?

I have used developer tool kit, Fire fox Developers thing-n-a-bob (no help)
I have looked at tpl_product_info_display.php - language files... Pretty much everything that I could think of.

Thanks for any help

This is not a problem with the template. It looks like this cart has been heavily modified. I would look to the modules you have added to find the culprit. I would also check your tpl_product_info_display.php file.

Thanks,

Anne

I did... guess I will hunt around in this mess of a forum to find out where to post this.

It's just a bandaid until you can remove the link, but you could hide the text by adding this to your stylesheet:

#productAdditionalImages a{color:#fff;}

Hello,

Has anyone experienced this that when you change the text on the home page through the define pages editor, the slide images stop displaying? My under-construction site is www.c o r k p e o p l e.co.uk and since the problem first appeared, I have made sure I edit using plain text editor only. Yet even then, the images disappear. If I reinstate the original define_main_page.php, the images duly reappear in the slides.

If you read the readme.html file included in the template package, you will see that you need to use the plain text editor when you edit the define_main_page.php file as it contains php code.

Thanks,

Anne

Hello Anne,
Yes, that's what I did. That's why I said above "I have made sure I edit using plain text editor only."

<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function(){	
	    
		$("#slider").easySlider({
			auto: true, 
			continuous: true,
			numeric: true
		});
		
	});	
</script>



	<div id="slider">
		<ul>				
			<li><a href="<?php echo URL1 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE1 ?>" alt="first slide image"></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php echo URL2 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE2 ?>" alt="second slide image"></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php echo URL3 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE3 ?>" alt="third slide image"></a></li> 
			<li><a href="<?php echo URL4 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE4 ?>" alt="fourth slide image"></a></li>
			<li><a href="<?php echo URL5 ?>"><img src="<?php  echo $template->get_template_dir('',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images').'/'.IMAGE5 ?>" alt="fifth slide image"></a></li>			
		</ul>
	</div>

<div id="home-text" align="center"><h3><u> Welcome to The Cork People</u></h3><h4>Home of Stylish, Sustainable Cork Products</h4><h4>Handbags</h4><h4>Accessories</h4><h4>Jewellery</h4><h4>For Him</h4></div>

The php code at the top of the file does not look the same as the file included in the template package. You need to use a plain text editor like notepad++

Thanks,

Anne

It sounds like you have not uploaded the template files to the correct place on your server. The entire includes directory of the template needs to go in the root of your zen cart.

Thanks,

Anne

Hello Anne,

Thanks for the help so far.
I've got another question please. How do I change the font colour of the links in the side boxes and do you know why there is a colour difference in the boxes at www.c o r k p e o p l e.co.uk? I've used the same colour on the images and in the stylesheet.

Thank you
Oliver

You can edit the stylesheet.css file line 5. If you are going to be making css changes to the template I would recommend using firefox and installing the web developer tools or firebug. They will tell you the exact line of which file you need to edit.

Use #c5a982 for the sidebox content.

Thanks,

Anne

Fantastic, thank you. How did you arrive at the right colour code?

I grabbed the color from a screen shot.

I like the template. Thank You.

I have been trying to customize and have noticed that the link in the top navigation bar? for contact us is not right. HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US instead of just Contact Us. I have just installed a new logo and edited the header. I may have changed something inadvertently.

I also notice that text formatting for example Capital letters and returns does not work when entered in ez pages editor.

I apologize if these are duplicate issues but I have searched for hours and have not found a solution.

You removed the constant for the header contact us text. I would recommend re-uploading the includes/languages/english/aberdeen_neutral/header.php file from the template package.

I do not understand this, can you be more specific?

Thanks for the reply. I will reload that file
You are right. My comments did not make sense. What I meant was...when using the define pages editor the text does not come through with formatting (returns). Where I edited the tag line it only shows lower case text. I also found a link that is displaying differently in a sidebox. unsubscribe newsletter link.

There is a text-transform:lowercase; in the stylesheet on the tagline.

If you want line breaks in your define pages, you need to use a <br /> tag. This is not template specific.

Anne
