Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

bullryder13:

Ok apparently my install was tanked. I just wiped the server and did a fresh install and everything is golden now. Now on to the modifications, I have about a month and a half before it launches lol

I am happy that you love the template and are using it for your site. And that you figured everything out ;)

Thanks,

Anne

Anne,

Since I am modifying the template to fit my site slightly better I have been trying to figure out how to get the links in the mega-menu centered (just the ones on the left side). I've looked in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css file and adjusted the following code with no luck

.mega-menu li {
	float: left;
	text-align: center;
	position: relative;
	margin-right: auto;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-top: 6px;
	border: none;
}

I have commented out the float value as well as changed it and it's not getting the effect I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is to keep the links and dropdowns as they are just moved to the center of the menu bar.

Also, is there a way to adjust the width of the slider to fit the width of the center column? Since I have changed the width of the site I would like to be able to adjust the width of the slider as well. Any info would be appreciated. Once again the site is https://www.chainvapes.com

Try changing the width of the #mega-wrapper .mega-menu to 100% or to 630px;

There are instructions for changing the slider width in the readme.html.

adjusting the #mega-wrapper .mega-menu did get the effect I was looking for, than you!

However, I don't see anything in the readme about changing the width of the slideshow. All I am able to find about it is adding images, etc and disabling it. Could you happen to point me in the right direction?

Hi Anne,

Can I know whether the Abbington template work with Ultimate SEO 2.200+ (new features)? As i wish to add URL for my website, it seem that Ultimate SEO 2.2 doesnt work?
Thank you.

Thank you.Nothing about ANY template package would be in conflict with Ultimate SEO..

Ultimate SEO works fine and if there are issues they can ALWAYS be traced back to some kind of installation error.. I'm sure it goes without saying that a post on the Ultimate SEO thread is the place to get assistance with the Ultimate SEO module..

Exactly what I was thinking ;)

Make your changes in the stylesheet_slides.css file.

Just wanted to give you an update, Since i have been unable to make the slideshow more "responsive" i have one of the web developers at work working on it. Sometimes it's good working for a marketing company but other times it's a royal pain.

Try searching for the Nivo slider add-on (I think it's called the ZX Slider or something like that -- just search for "nivo" and your will find it..) sub out the slideshow that comes with this template for that one.. Nivo slider is a responsive slideshow..

I am moving the #navMain links to the menubar - along with some other changes - and almost have it right, except that I cannot get the cart and checkout links sitting in the right position:

http://www.thedollhouse.com.au/catalog/

I have messed about with width, padding, float and margins, but nothing I have done has lifted it. It is some minor change I've made, as I had it right at the outset, but now I cannot see the error I have created. I'd appreciate some eyes cast over it!

No one? Am I in the wrong place? I ask here because of the significance of the mega-menu css.

I would recommend adding a unique id to the li so that you can move it into the correct position.

Many thanks. I can see the wood, not the trees.

I want to change the tagline with these words:

women's own world

but the system is not allowing me to do this. I think this is due to the ' sign.

Can you please help me how can I put this ' sign without any error?

your immediate reply will be highly appreciated.

If you place a '/' after the apostrophe, that should do it.

So you would have

women'/s

Yes?

women'/s own world'

women's own world'/

but all these phrases give error.

please help.

Because this is a php file you will need to escape any apostrophe's with a \ before it.

Thanks,

Anne

No, the \ needs to go before the apostrophe.

Thanks,

Anne

It did the job.

Thanks for your fast response and help.
