EstoreNow Template - Right Side Column not appear

Dear all,

Good day to you all.

I had install a Zen-cart template (EstoreNow).

In my

Admin => Configuration => Layout Setting => Column right status - Global, I had set the value to 1.

I also made a setting at Admin => Layout Box Controller there,
I had made some selection hope it can be appear at my website right column.

But I don't know why its appear nothing at the right column box there.

Please help.

Thanks and Best Regards,

The right column has probably been disabled in the core code. You can do that in zencart, turn off columns even depending upon what page you are on.

Examples: set Homepage to one column. Set categories to three columns. Set product page to two columns. Or whatever.

Take a look at your includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php It will have some instructions.

Then look for this file in your estorenow template folder. That is probably where the right column is disabled in the code, apart from admin settings.

You can also look for zencart tutorials on this; it's too late for me to look tonight.

Hi SPH,

Thanks for your reply,

I will try as you suggest, then I will come back to you with the result.

Thanks.

Em...

I...actually not understand what does it means :

set Homepage to one column. Set categories to three columns. Set product page to two columns. Sorry for my poor English..

I found one website (http://www.fashion-mart.biz/) which is using the same template (EstoreNow), and it can appear with both left and right side columns.

I try to view it with the inspect element, but I don't know which code to set, so that the right side column can appear...

Please guide me when you are free.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi, this is funny. That website - http://www.fashion-mart.biz/ - is one of my sites! It says "A Division of PromMart.com" in the header.

But it is not the Estorenow template. It is Alien Stemware, one of several templates I'm using/tesing on that site.

You can see it and the real Estorenow template here, and there will be a link to the downloads: http://(sorry, site offline)/zc150/

The Alien Stemware template may be hard to work with. I just turned off my right column and banners (tried this once before) and it doesn't work right. It's not like most free templates where you can just turn off one or both columns from the admin and it still works. I intend not to mess with this template while I have it on my site; if I continue using it will use as is out of the box.

If I needed to turn off the right column, I might look for another template.

Or contact the designer by email. I've been in contact him before when I was using/testing his S E X Y template contribution on this site. You can get to his site by the link at the bottom of my Alient Stemware site.

Yes, on most templates you can set your homepage to be one column, then maybe your categories to be three columns, and maybe the product page to two columns with it on the right or left. This assumes that the chosen template is within the core zencart framework. Some templates go beyond that, complicating things.

Personally, unless one has some real design talent (I don't), my recommendation would be not to mess with a template, as the designer probably did a better job than I/we could.

Hope this helped.

BTW, I've tested Estorenow template (and many, many templates) and it is a very nice template. Don't know if it works on 1.5 cart, though.

Out of curiosity, can we have a link to your site to see what you're doing? Thanks.

This is correct.

It does.
