Andover Modern Template Support Thread

mdivk:

I have read your readme, and try to follow, I stuck at:
:: Zen Cart™ Setup - System Inspection

Take a moment to check whether your webserver supports the features required for Zen Cart™ to operate. Please resolve any errors or warnings before continuing. Then click on Install to continue

No more info or choice for me to continue.

I have bluehost as my host, the steps I followed were:

1. I installed an instance xiexianhui.com/test
2. Using FileZiller, I upload everything onto /public_html/test on the server under xiexianhui.com
3. I followed instructions on your readme by:
   3.1 Creating the configure.php files
   3.2 Set Permissions on folders
4. Installation was automatically started after I enter: xiexianhui.com/test
5. The auto process stopped at System Inspection, it didn't return me any result about the inspection.:no:

What can I do now?

Thank you again for your help.

I managed to continue but stuck again at the attached screenshot, can anyone tell me how to fix it and moving forward? Thank you very much.

Your problems are not to do with the template, they are to do with installing ZenCart, you need to post in the appropriate forum as You cannot install the template until zencart is correctly installed and working

One of these forums would be the one to post in depending on how you are being hosted

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5

having said that try setting your database host to localhost

Not really, I already installed Zen Cart with Bluehost's SimpleScript, very easy and simple. I then try to apply the template, and I encountered this problem by following the instruction of the template.

I believe the unzipped template files can be uploaded to the server and then there should be an option to let admin to choose a template.

Can someone shed me more light on this?:frusty::frusty::frusty:

Thank you very much.

I finally got this step resolved. I was helped by Bluehost's support to install database and username and associate the user to the database with all privilege.

SO this step is over. :clap::clap::clap:

But that's the same as a Zen Cart installed without using this template. Please see the screenshot.

What am I missing?:frusty:

Thanks.

This is driving me nutter and nutter.

I followed the instruction and finished all the steps so it looks I should be fine now.

The website xiexianhui.com/test is still same look and feel like the standard default template.

So I am wondering maybe I need to make some adjustment in admin, then I tried to enter admin, I was prompted to make more changes (basically change admin's place by changing its name).

I followed the instruction here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33

I double checked and made sure that I did follow the instructions. I changed it to admin1, so I should go to http://www.xiexianhui.com/test/admin1, the URL was forcely changed to http://www.xiexianhui.com/test/admin/alert_page.php

I got the famours 404 error, please see the screenshot.:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

I am sorry, but all of this has nothing to do with the template. Please post your zen cart installation questions to the appropriate thread.

You do need to rename your admin folder and then you need to go to the new admin url in your browser.

Once you get your zen cart installed, read the readme.html file with the template package and then if you need help or have questions, please come back and post to this support thread.

Thanks,

Anne

I got it, the footer can be turned off by going to configuration->layout settings->Banner Display Group->Footer Position 3, Leave blank for none, then the ZenCart ad is gone.

First, I love this template. I am having trouble figuring out how to change the footer to a 3 column and eliminate "Important Links". I would like it to display Quick Links, Information, and Customer Service only.

Okay, I figured out how to "turn off" important links but is there a way to "shift" the remaining 3 columns so they are centered in the footer?

Sorry Tom, I must have missed your question. You will have to edit the stylesheet_footer_menu.css file to restyle the footer menu. You might want to check the support thread for that module since this is a common question and I would imagine that it has been asked and answered there already.

Thanks,

Anne

I have have followed the override directory instructions and have copied the appropriate files to "custom". When I view the custom template the side boxes do not show up. If I view the standard template everything shows as it's supposed to. I have made sure they are set in the layout settings. What might I have missed? And is copying and making custom folders necessary?

I am not sure what you are talking about. The override directory for this template is called andover_modern. If you unzip the template package and follow the readme.html file in the readme directory you will find all of the installation instructions.

You'll need to edit the includes/templates/andover_modern/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php file and then possibly fine tune with css.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne, ill give that a go, or at least look at it but am not a coder lol

Take a look in the free software addons section for modules that re-arrange the elements on this page. You might find one that will suit your needs.

Hi,

I am using the Andover Modern Template and I am wanting to change the size and colour of the 'Product Details' buttons on the main page.

The file is currently saved as .gif but will be re-saved as .png. I am required to update this in the template files so the new button will be displayed.

Can you tell me how to find the file where I can update this setting?

The line of code in question is:

<img src="includes/templates/andover_modern/images/details.gif" alt="" width="140" height="21" /></a >

Thank you in advance

The easiest way to change the button is to name your image details.gif and then upload it to includes/temlpates/andover_modern/images/

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I did try this but my next problem is that the button i wish to use is a different size, so i would need to actually change the code that provides the height and width attributes to the button.

What file would I need to access to do this?

Thanks again for your help.

The button size will change automatically.
