No, I did not make them in any special format.

Here is a blank button in .png format.

Weird, if I rename the button images giving them the .png extension, I can open them but I can't open them if they are in .gif format !

There is something strange going on with your image manipulation programs. It is not a problem with the button formats.

No as the problem only happens when I try to open .gif files in your templates, nobody else's ! Anyway, I'll need the original .png files in order to translate the text in the images. I hope this is not asking too much... Many thanks !

There are no other images that need to be translated except for the buttons and I already posted a png of a blank button? Also, there is nothing different about the format of the gifs I have used in my templates.

I just posted an update to the template package.

11/17/2010-------Fixed wrong path name for javascript in define_main_page.php, moved about_us_filenames.php to correct directory, fixed wrong path name in twitter and facebook links in footer, fixed ie6 and ie7 spacing bug with prev, listing, next on product info page.

Hopefully it will be approved and ready for download soon!

Hi, I've made all the fxes manually except the "fixed ie6 and ie7 spacing bug with prev, listing, next on product info page" Can you post the code for this fix please?
Also how doe I change the colour Burgandy in the menu bar under the header? Is it an image? CSS or both?
Cheers, Great template!

Add :

.navNextPrevList {padding-left:10px;}

to the ie7.css and ie6.css.

This is an image.

Hi

great template, I am currently implementing this template on my site. I wanted to use the Lightbox feature, I had it on the previous template i was using.

I've just tried installing the updated version (slimbox) to the template and am getting some errors.

the template and the slimbox both have the following file below, and I have tried to merge them. But now the slide show does not work on the homepage, each image is shown seperately.

includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\html_header.php

I have not yet gone live with the template, as I want to resolve some of these issues first. BTW this template looks very clean!!:clap:

There is no reason why the template would not work with the lightbox module. You have made a mistake in merging the html_header.php files.

Without a link to your site I can not help you trouble shoot the slider. It sounds like the javasript is not being called, so check the path name to it in the define_main_page.php

Let me first say Thanks! to you, Your free Zen Cart Templates are GREAT!

I am not a computer guy, I know just enough to screw things up, But your instructions where Right to the point and I had no problem with the install.

I actually have two questions, the first:

On the index page I have “Featured” Products showing in the middle of the page.
3 columns, 3 Rows – 9 products.
What I noticed is with the column on the left, All of the "Product Detail" buttons are higher than the other 2 columns.
I have looked everywhere to find some kind of setting to fix this, but to no avail.
I’m thinking it is an easy fix, for someone who knows..

My second question is:

There is a sidebox in the left column named "Sponsors", that contains a Zen Cart banner. How do I change the name "Sponsors", to something else like, "Auctions"? I want to use the sidebox to display a banner link to my auction items.

Here is the link to my site: https://www.houstonjewel.com

Any help from anyone is appreciated.
Thanks!

I've put the html_header.php file back to the one with your template. now what should i do with the file from the slim box module add on?

thanks :frusty:

This is happening because some of your product titles are 2 lines long and some are 3 ilnes long. If you want everything to look uniform, you should make your product titles all the same length.

You need to upload the html_header.php file that came with the lightbox module and then add these lines to the end of the file before the </head> tag:

<!--[if IE 6]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="includes/templates/andover_modern/css/ie6.css" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="includes/templates/andover_modern/css/ie7.css" /><![endif]-->

Thanks for the response, I thought that it was something easy.
Love the template.

I would like to remove some sections under the information category and add some of my own. I'm having a hard time locating a tutorial for this. If not too much can you paste a link on modifying the information section.
Thanks
Joe

Just FYI - I'm having the same issue as petek. I work in Windows 7 and I'm using Photoshop CS2 and receive a parsing error when attempting to open the button gifs. Even trying to view the individual gifs in IE8 gives me a broken image. If I rename the file to a png extension I can open them in PS.

I'm making my own versions of the buttons, so it's not really a problem for me, but you may want to double check the button files. For some reason they show up fine when the template is live in the browser, but individually they don't. I've never seen an error like this.

I have not been able to reproduce this problem. There is nothing unusual or special about the button set--they are just gifs. I am looking at the add to cart button right now in ie8?

Like I said, it's just a bizarre error. It's almost like something saved them with a gif extension but a png file compression. It will probably always look fine on your computer because you're the one that generated the original files. I just thought you should be aware that it's not an isolated problem. I've been a graphic artist and used Photoshop for 15 years, and I've never quite seen anything like this before. It's odd that renaming the files to png fixes the parse error.

There really is no problem as I have posted a blank button to the thread for those who want to edit the buttons and there is no problem with the buttons showing in the template.

The update has been approved and is now available in the "Free Software Add Ons" section.
