A few small issues with my website: Help appreciated!

Hi there,

I've been building an e-commerce store on Zen Cart and it's nearing completion; I just have 2 or 3 things that are giving me grief and was wondering if anyone could help me!

Website address: http://www.solojoe.co.uk
Template: Cherry Zen
Version: 1.38

  1. Shadowing on Titles problem
    After developing the footer to highlight red when selected it seems to have affected the top menu - Is there a way to remove this from the top menu whilst not removing it from the footer?
    I've included an image that highlights the problem:

  2. Random dot on product pages
    This random dot has appeared on the product pages and I'm stumped as to how to remove it!

I'm also looking for up to date UK shipping modules but they seem to hard to customize, if anyone has any insight into this it would be much appreciated!

There's a 10% e-coupon for anyone that can help!

  1. This, in stylesheet_footer_menu.css :

li a:hover {background:#bb3a25;}

Zencart doesn't know that's only supposed to affect the footer, and will apply the background to any list item.

Add #footer to the rule:

#footer li a:hover {background:#bb3a25;}

BTW, it's not a good idea to secure the whole site - it can slow things down noticably.

...and it's good forum etiquette to let people know that the site is an "adult" site before they go to it.

If it is 1.3.8 as you have indicated then you really need to upgrade to 1.3.9h - BEFORE it gets hacked.

Solo Joe, you have image handler installed, but it isn't working correctly, it isn't calling images from its cache its using the actual images, which is making your site painfully slow.

In the browser address bar. All your pages are https. It's better to let Zencart decide what needs to be secured.

In your includes/configure.php file you have an https address where there should be an http address.

vger and I thought we were rplying to the original poster.

It's best to start a new thread with an unrelated question.

Scroll to the top of the page, and select the "ZEN CART SUPPORT" link below the advert for the zencart book

that'll take you to the index page for the entire forum

And from there you click on the name of the forum you want to go to,
And that will take you to the index page of the forum you want to be in
