Andover Modern Template Support Thread

Hi I have a tweaked version of this on a 1.3.9 site. I noticed it is labelled 1.5 compatible. Can you tell me if any an where the changes are from the 1.3.9 version to the 1.5 version?

I'd like to update the existing site and clone the template I have for a new 1.5 site.

Cheers and thanks for a great template!

It depends on which version of the template package you started from. I would recommend downloading the most current version of the template package and then doing a compare between the current version and the version you are using. Beyond compare is a great tool for file comparison :smile:

Thanks,

Hi Anne,
About the 1.5 Zencart update, i am currently using v1.3.9h, so is it safe to update to the 1.5?
Will this cause any trouble to how the site is actually working?
Thanks,
Rishi

It depends on what version of the template package you are using. If you are using the latest version, it has been updated for 1.5 compatibility. If you are using an eariler version then you should compare the files in your version of the template package with the files in the newest version.

Thanks,

Hi again Anne,

I'm trying to get this template to work with Right and left boxes, I've nearly got it working baut am still having a little trouble with the right boxes being pushed out to the right. I can't seem to find any settings in admin or CSS where I can fix this. Any hints would be appreciated.
Site is zen 1.5 and here it is http://d2262519.i225.quadrahosting.com.au/

If you download the latest version or the template, it comes natively in a 3 column layout.

OK, I've installed this theme and I'm following the steps in the readme.html.
I'm in step 7 and want to change the logo, but, apparently, I'm not able to.
I've uploaded the new logo.gif to includes/templates/andover_modern/images
I've changed the file includes/languages/english/header.php to use the new file, but then the site still shows the default "Andover Modern" which has the URL "http://mysite/shop/includes/templates/template_default/images/logo.jpg"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

This is wrong. If you read the instructions you will see that you need to be in the override file to make changes:

includes/languages/english/andover_modern/header.php

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Thanks. But I just followed your Readme.html:

2. Open includes/languages/english/header.php in your favorite plain text editor. Find this code on or around line 24:

define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

3. There are 4 bits you will change:

Replace “Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce” with your site name and tag line here
Replace “192px” with your logo width
Replace “64px” with your logo height
Replace “logo.gif” with the name of your logo image
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Your store name :: your store tag line');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '385px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '100px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'new-logo.jpg');

Thank you for pointing out the mistake! I'll get this fixed the next time I update the template package.

You should always be changing the file in the override directories. So includes/languages/english/andover_modern/header.php

Thanks,

Anne

BTW I love this template very good work!

My question is how do I remove the paypal link from shopping cart before you confirm shipping?

I'm glad that you figured it out.

Thanks,

Hey Anne!
I love the template! I read the first 300 posts on this page but never could see the answer to my question so I am sure it is on post 320 or something in another forum.
At the top under the logo the links horizontal Home | Contact Us | Log In | the shopping cartShopping Cart - 0 item(s) - $0.00 | Checkout
I want to change the space between these and add 3 images FB/TW/Blog with links to the external pages.
I have am sure overlooked the file a few times I just cant find it :cry: Here is a link

You will need to edit the includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_header.php file and the styleshee.css file.

i have a comma in my site tag line that is not on the meta_tag.php

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Eliquidwest.com');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Eliquid | Eliquid by Eliquidwest.com');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'eliquid, e-liquid, e-juice, ejuice, vapor');

// Home Page Only:
define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', '');
define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', '');

// NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', ''); // usually best left blank

please view http://www.eliquidwest.com or e-liquidwest.com (sister sites)

shows as "eliquidwest.com, eliquid | eliquid by eliquidwest.com"
can not take the comma out even after removing the first "eliquidwest.com"

any thoughts...

Hi,

Great template love it. I have an issue in that since I installed it on my site (https://www.handtools-2u.com) I cannot get tp products or categories.

It was fine when I first installed it and then I deleted all the example products/categories from the zen cart install, changed a couple of images in define main page.

Now when I click on a category the page just refreshes to the front page?

Any ideas what i have done?

Regards

Jon
