Re: Anyone familiar with ZCT Animals template?

Asked that way, you'll only get advice from someone who recognizes and has installed that template, and is willing to write a tutorial about it.

Might be better to include a link to your site and specific questions about what you want to change.

Start here:

Install the Firefox browser and the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. You can use those to see where in the stylesheet you change the styling of the various page elements.

Ctrl-Shift-Y will allow you to hover over a section of the page and see the class and id names for that section in the box at the top. The statements in the stylesheet that begin with # are id's and the ones that begin with dots are classes.

Ctrl-Shift-E will open the CSS editor and allow you to edit the stylesheet and see the changes in real time without changing anything permanently. An essential tool.

Some prefer Firebug, which does much the same thing.

Re: Anyone familiar with ZCT Animals template?

Thanks. I will follow your suggestions.
The website is: http://seabreezeelectronics.com

We currently took over the business and want to make a few changes to the website header.

New to Zen Cart, and somewhat familiar with php using Joomla. However, not sure is the website used a stock template or one that came through the Zen Cart community.

Re: Anyone familiar with ZCT Animals template?

You need to upgrade tp the latest version of Zen Cart. What you have is very old - v1.2.x - and no longer secure. The template will have to be rebuilt for the shift from v1.2 to v1.3, but that is no big deal - it has few mods or nonstandard features, and the ones it does have are mostly readily obtainable from Free Addons for the latest version. You could transplant the image map in the header right into the new tpl_header.php if you wanted to.

Re: Anyone familiar with ZCT Animals template?

I installed the ZCT Animals 19 template on a client's site a few months ago. The site had passed a Security Metrics PCI Compliance scan before I installed this template. After I installed it, at the next PCI Compliance scan, it did not pass.

After many hours of searching for a cure, I switched back to the old template and the Security Metrics error went away. I tested it by switching templates back and forth several times, always with the same results.

I contacted the company that sold the template and asked if it was PCI Compliant for version 1.3.8a. They responded that it worked with 1.3.8a. They did not answer whether it was PCI Compliant or not.

I believe this ZCT Animals template is not PCI Compliant.

Did you get any information on what elements of the template were causing it to fail? That would be useful information and might allow it to be fixed for compliance.

Re: Anyone familiar with ZCT Animals template?

This is the script Security Metrics ran. Note that the cart is installed in the directory "store".


http://www.DOMAINNAMEHERE.com/store/?%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28123%29%3C/script%3E

This is Security Metrics explanation


You can see that it is in the source code not sanitized. You will need to ensure that all user input is being sanitized.

</select> <input type="hidden" name="><script>alert(123)</script>" /><input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="index" /></form> </span></div></td> <td width="22%" class="txt_content"><div align="center" class="style7"> </div></td> <td width="22%"><div align="right" class="style7"> <div align="center"> </div>

I have notified the template vendor of the problem.
