Aberdeen Neutral Template Support Thread

Dang it.. I give up.. I've tried everything that should work and a bunch of stuff that MIGHT work and then stuff that .. well I didn't know if it would work, but I thought I'd try..

See my test URL below.. How the heck do I close the gap between the slideshow and the middleboxes??

http://clientyoubookit247 . overthehillweb . com/

I've been there :wacko:

I have not cross browser tested this, but you can try:

In includes/templates/custom_template/css/stylesheet_middleboxes.css, take out margin here:

.middleBoxContainer {
	margin-top: 0em;
	}

and add to #navColumnMiddleWrapper:

position:relative; top:-20px;

and then to make things neat in includes/templates/custom_template/css/stylesheet_footer_menu.css replace:

#footer {clear:both;margin:0;background-image:url(../images/footer-bk.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat; width:950px; height:200px;margin-top:20px;padding-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;}

with:

#footer {clear:both;margin:0;background-image:url(../images/footer-bk.jpg);background-repeat:no-repeat; width:950px; height:200px;margin-top:-20px;padding-top:10px;margin-bottom:20px;}

Thanks,

Anne

> AnneYou are a doll.. these last two changes really tightened things up!!! I wasn't sure about the last change you suggested until I implemented the first two.. Then it was OBVIOUS why you were suggesting the footer change.. This is EXACTLY what I was looking to do.. Thanks sooooooo much for the assist..

DivaVocals--I am so happy that I could help you out. I can't tell you how many times I have been totally stumped! :hug:

Thanks,

Anne

AnneYou are sweet.. but seriously I'm REALLY kicking myself over here because the first change is one I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT since it came from my own mod.. :censored::frusty: This is what happens when you do stuff when you are tired..:laugh:

Anyway.. thanks for the assist!:hug:

Such is the nature of computer programming :smile: It is always helpful when you are stuck to get another set of eyes. It's like when you write a paper but the editor catches a typo. Sometimes you can stare at the paper for hours and not even notice the typo until the editor tells you about it.

Thanks,

Hi I have installed your aberdeen template on cart 1.3.9h and love the 2 column layout I have had it for a while and I wanted to install the Simple_Google_Analytics add on.

however I cannot find the includes/templates/[your_template]/common/tpl_main_page.php

has this file been renamed and how would I find it.
Any help would be great.

many thanks
James

Since I did not edit that file when creating the template package, you will have to create an override file for it.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks for your help. created a tpl_main_page.php overide using the default template and it now works a charm.
Just wasnt sure if I had missed something.

Thanks again

Hello.
I am NEW to zen cart and found this template. I LOVE IT so far.
I have one "basic / stupid" question. How do you remove the banner ad at the bottom of the template for Zen Cart (the one with the picture)
Thanks

Not related to the support for this template.. This is more of a general Zen Cart "how-to" kinda question..

I am so happy that you like it :-)

Nice clean template, I need one with three columns, but I do like the look of this one. Will suggest it to others for sure.

Thank you :smile: It is no problem to use the template with 3 columns. You will have to add the styles for the right hand column into the stylesheet.

Anne

Hi Anne,

Can you explain a bit what styles to add to the styles to get a 3 column layout?

Thanks in advance.

Richard

You will need to copy the styles from the left hand column selectors to the right hand column selectors.

When I have some time I am planning on including this in a future update.

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you for this excellent template.

I have just installed it and it looks great. One issue is the search box. If I use the contemporary green template the search box is there and usable.
When I switch to Aberdeen Neutral the box and text are missing. as below.

Can you tell me what I need to do to display the search box.

Thanks

You can follow this tutorial here:

Thank you for your help Anne

:bigups:

Thanks for the template, I really like it. :clap:

Can anyone tell me how to change the text color on the sidebox headers? At present it is red (7D0000) which doesn't go with my site.

Thanks
