Avonlee Contempo Template Support Thread

Touchwood:

Hi again Anne -

I am using your great Avonlee-Contempo template. Q. How difficult is it to move the Slider to above and to the right of the Logo in the header space. I currently have the Language and Currency selections in that area but they could move to side boxes. I feel that the header space would be ideal and also free up space beneath the header area for featured products etc.
Site is Aussieretro.com

Regards

You can add the slide show code to the tpl_header.php file if you want it to show up in the header. You will need to also add an if statement if you want it to only show on the home page.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne - thanks for the continuing assistance.

I could be losing the plot here. However I installed the social_network_sidebar.

The list below is the files as shown in supplied in the readme docs.

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/social_sidebar_defines.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_social_sidebar.css
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/blog.png
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/facebook.png
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/google.png
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/pinterest.png
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/twitter.png
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/youtube.png
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_jquery.min.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jquery.sidebar.js

But the files when I download and unzip to install the package do not match which is making it difficult to reference with the settings docs.

eg. There is a "social_defines.php" included not a "social_sidebar_defines.php"

The docs refer to the following file to turn off unwanted icons - "includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stysheet_social_header.css"
but I cannot find that.
I have a "stylesheet_social_sidebar.css" but changes do not have the desired effect.

Please take a look at the forum thread for the social networking sidebar module as these questions have already been addresses there.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne - thanks for your advice regarding Social Network Slider.

I have still an issue with the height of the bar after removing the unwanted icons etc.

"You can shorten the bar by adjusting the stylesheet_social_sidebar.css"

Do I need to create a new entry to achieve this. I think it is 300px high standard but as I have only 3 Icons 155px is required.

.sidebar{background:#e3e9ff;-moz-border-radius:10px;border:3px solid #bbccff;position:fixed;cursor:pointer;}
.sidebar-words{color:#000000;font-weight:bold;font-family:helvetica;list-style:none;padding:0px;}
.soico{margin-right:2px;margin-bottom:5px;margin-top:5px;width:40px;}

Regards

David

Hi Anne -

Can you point me in the direction to add an All Products Tab to the Centre Box Tabs I already have , New,Featured and Specials.

Thankyou.

David

Hi anna. First of all i just wanna say thanks for this free template, second i have a little issue i can't find a solution for.

Hi, new poster here. My site is http://www.qtgraphics.com/catalog/. I followed the directions here http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?162-how-do-i-change-the-header-image to add a background image behind my logo, which works, but the image is being repeated at the top of the center column. I don't want it repeated there and after 2 days I absolutely cannot find what code is making it display there. Anyone know where to look?

It looks like you have solved the problem. It would be great if you posted your solution so that others with the same question can benefit.

Thanks,

Hi Anne, I'm using your template on a 1.5.1 installation and pretty much everything has gone according to plan. Thanks.
I do have one problem though...

The social media links at the bottom of the page don't link to the addresses entered into the 'footer_menu_defines.php' file.
They link to: http://www.libriumgames.co.uk/Store/blingthemes (should be facebook), http://www.libriumgames.co.uk/Store/blingthemes (should be twitter) and http://www.libriumgames.co.uk/Store/youtube (should be my YouTube account) instead of the url's listed below.

I have entered:
/bof bottom footer urls/
Define('FACEBOOK', 'http://www.facebook.com/LibriumGames');
Define('TWITTER', 'https://twitter.com/LibriumGames');
Define('YOUTUBE', 'https://www.youtube.com/libriumpro');
Define('PINTEREST', 'http://www.pinterest.com/picaflorazul');
Define('GOOGLE', 'https://plus.google.com/113609090217058276980/posts');
Define('BLOG', 'http://www.picaflor-azul.com/blog');

The bottom 3 PINTEREST, GOOGLE and BLOG have been disabled.

Any ideas?
Cheers, Steve.

This is not a template related problem. Check to see if you have other templates installed with files that are using the same constants that may not be in the override directories.

I believe that someone had this same problem so if you read or search through the thread you will find the answer.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne, found the culprit!

No worries, all I did was searched for the incorrectly referenced url 'blingthemes' using the developers tool kit, and it came up with some files within a theme not being used, in my case it was the 'EstoreNow' template. I just deleted that template from the system and 'tada'... all the links worked correctly!

Once again, thanks Anne.
