Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

getiton:

Hi Anne

Absolutely love the template!! Having a couple of issues with the home page slider though. My website is https://www.getiton-fancydress.co.uk i have added my own images as per the tutorial instructions but it is saying i have 6 slides when i only have put 4 on and it is showing the last image twice. Also it jumps and goes a bit crazy!

PLEASE Help

Thanks

I would recommend uploading the includes/languages/english/html_includes/abbington_mega/define_page.php file from the template package to your site.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne

in the template package there isnt a file called define_page.php

There are define_page_2.php or define_main_page.php

Sorry for the typo. It should be define_main_page.php.

Thanks,

The define_main_page.php file only has code for 5 images. Make sure that you are overwriting the file on your server.

Thanks,

Hi Anne

Yes it is overwriting the file. On the define pages editor on the back of the site it is only showing 5 but on the front of the site as you can see https://www.getiton-fancydress.co.uk it is showing that there is 7 images. It is also jumping around it if you watch the slideshow and also it is showing the last image twice.

That's really strange because this behavior is not in the demo. What customizations/files have you changed?

Thanks,

Hi Anne

I have just managed to sort it out by changing these setting in define pages editor from true to false

<script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#slider").easySlider({ auto: false, continuous: false, numeric: false });

I am happy that you figured it out!

Though its not template specific , our query goes as below
we modified the stylesheet.css to show multiple background images (two actually- one for the top centre and one one for the rest of the page)
the problem is it dosent work in IE<v9 as it does not support multiple BGs

So how could we have single background for IE and multiple for the rest ?
How should it be done , multiple stylesheets ?

There are a number of ways to do it. One way would be to have specific stylesheets for ie8, e7, ie6.

Thanks Anne
could you point in the right direction regarding this ,

we tried ```

body {margin: 0;font-family: calibri, sans-serif, arial, verdana, helvetica;font-size: 70%;color: #444;background: url(../images/pat10untitled3-2.png) no-repeat center top, url(../images/rs.png) repeat left;}

but the page was background less on IE as well as chrome but worked as intended on Opera

any suggestions ?

Hi Anne
only you could help us here :

We wanted to change this red strip and found it to be named 'mega-bk.png' in the abbington mega images folder .
but changing it isnt working .

is it the right file ?

OK dont worry, found it out , you never used a image but this

-moz-linear-gradient(top, #9a1212, #640f0f);background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#9a1212), to(#640f0f));background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #9a1212, #640f0f)*/;}

replacing it with a url solved the problem

Do reply though
Thanks

I would recommend creating a separate ie9 stylesheet and then calling it in your html header file.

The background is not an image. You can chagne the color in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css file.

I have installed this template but cannot get the mega-menu to display. It just shows everything like a sitemap.
You can see it at http://www.readingglasses4less.com/store/
Please let know how to fix this.
