Re: Estorenow template help

Use the Admin - Tools - Developers Tool Kit to search for feacebook to see what file it's in.

BTW, you really don't want your Zencart site inside a frame. There's a good chance your payment processors won't work, and if you have further problems, we can't inspect the code on your site to help out.

Im using the paypal cart, i did a test purchase and it seemed to work fine. is this an issue because i really am a bit of a novice :)

Re: Estorenow template help

Since there's no reason for your site to be inside a frame, I'd suggest not doing so, just to be sure. You'll probably have to ask your host about it.

You can't 'stretch' an image. That image is 300px wide. You'll need to create/come by an image that's as wide as your header.

Re: Estorenow template help

Your site is contained inside HTML <frame> tags. It's an outdated method of inserting content from one website into another, which doesn't apply to your site anyway. If you didn't set it up that way, you may have to contact your host and ask them how to remove the <frame> tags.

How did you install Zencart ?

Re: Estorenow template help

I use iPage as well. What you need to do is go into Domain Central and click on your domain name in the list. You then need to click onto pointers and Point the domain to the directory where your zen cart files are. If they are in the main directory then have it point to Home Directory on the drop down or if it is a sub directory you need to point it to there e.g. you have a folder called "store" where all your zen cart files are then put in the sub directory /store. You will then need to change your Zen Cart configure.php to reflect on these changes. I will post more if you need any more help. :smile:

Re: Estorenow template help

Another thing you could try is deleting the install and starting again. And in the steps choose your actual domain you want to use and set it up from there.

Re: Estorenow template help

i also have a proble, which might be related to then 'frames' you talk about, so hope you can help.

i have done the usual css 100% width thing, to no avail.

any suggestions on what i need to do to remove these frames? if that is what is causing it.

website is https://www.supergiftstore.com

also have one other problem, which is the colour of the text when calling up the 'estimate shipping, and for any of the dropdown options for attributes inside each product. text appears white against a white background? can i change text colour.

and last problem is that the categories section does not seem to expand to show sub categories???

any help really is appreciated

regards
mark:cry:

Re: Estorenow template help

Your site is not contained in a frame.

I don't see any subcategories.

You could add this to the stylesheet:

.wrapperAttribsOptions option {background-color: #21303c;}

I can't see what id or class controls the shipping estimator text.

Your site is extremely slow here this morning.
