Abbington Mega Template [Support Thread]

You can add this to your stylesheet.css:

#popImage {background:none;}

Thanks,

Anne

It turned out to be #popupimage that needed the fix but that got me in the right locale. All is well now - Thanks Anne

Hi Anne,

For some reason, when I use the Contact Us drop down on the menu bar the emails does not go through, but when I use contact us on footer everything is fine.

I checked the cache folder and got this error message:

ERROR: Failed sending email to: "" <> with subject: "Website Inquiry" (failed validation)

Please note that user sees the screen that says the email was successfully send!

Do I need to configure the email address for this drops down differently from the store email address?

Thanks.

I just sent an email through the header contact us drop down and it seemed to work. The functionality does work out of the box so if it is broken now it is related to one of the customizations you have made.

Thanks,

Anne

I have a rather small issue with the template that bugs me for a while and now want it solved :P
The categories dropdown menu isn't wide enough and makes the category name break into 2 lines. i found in "stylesheet_mega_menu.css" these 2 lines:
line 22 .mega-menu .dropdown_1column {width: 200px;} /*orig 145 */
line 37 .mega-menu .col_1 {width:200px;} /*orig 145 */

As you see i have changed it from 145px to 200 px... that DID made the column get wider BUT the text seems to still "obey the old rules" and still breaks like the column width had not been changed... any ideas on how to adjust the with so the category name stays in one line?

Thanks for checking on this. Any idea where I should start looking? I made no changes to this drop down so I was wondering how this drop down communicates with email function so I can check that area.

The code for the drop down is in the includes/templates/abbington_mega/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file.

You need to change the width in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css file:

.mega-menu .levels a 

Thanks,

Anne

now, i need to make the second levels move to the right as well... is there a way to re-write that css to make it dynamic?
check the box of the second level at "Categories -> Animals"

Not sure what you mean about making the css dynamic? To move out the 3rd level you can change this:

.mega-menu .levels li:hover ul, .mega-menu .levels li li:hover ul, .mega-menu .levels li li li:hover ul {left: 142px;}

Thanks,

Anne

I don't know if that would even possible with css... but, what i meant with "dynamic" was the possibility of the css to "know" how long the longest line in that menu is and then adjust it's own with to accommodate that w/o doing a line break as it did on mine.
But it's just as easy to change it the way you told me... just knowing WHERE to change it was a little guessing game for me.
Thanks a million...:hug:looks sweet now.

Ok, I need to ask a question and in order to do so I feel I must add something first, so here is my contribution:

Everyone with Wamp who complains about the code showing at the top of the page:
The reason using Xamp works is because it is not so strict with the short <? tag.
99% Anne has used the <?php tags but now and again a few <? tags are used instead, and Wamp does not recognise the short version, so this is why you are getting that code displayed in the top bar. If you go into your PHP and change the <? tags to <?php then the problem is fixed and you can run this template on Wamp no problem (I have been running it for 2 months).

Now, my problem, in the admin section on the define pages editor, I can write in the shippinginfo yet nothing appears on the site. I have to go into a seperate shippinginfo file and hard code into it as it appears the admin section updates the wrong file. Not only this, but nothing shows below the header, the page is blank, like it is not being called. I hit this problem yesterday and as yet I have not found out the reason....

I am a PHP veteran and this is the 1st time I have ever been stumped on a problem and I have made many OSC and Zen sites! Any help Anne?

Should say nothing shows below the H1/H2 header, so it says Shipping but then just blank, everything else shows fine, just the actual shipping content is missing.

Fixed! Problem was uber simple as always:

Define Page Status for shipping was set to: 3 = Link OFF, Define Text OFF!

BTW Great template Anne, it must be the best free zen template out there. I am even considering putting it on some of my more established sites, once I get the language packs running smoothly on it.

Really well done :)

Thanks for posting. I do have this fix on a list for a future template package update.

For anyone who wants to remove the Customer Service link on the top menu bar, this is how I did it. Go to the tpl_mega_menu.php file, find

For anyone who wants to remove the Customer Service link on the top menu bar, this is how I did it. Go to the tpl_mega_menu.php file, find

<li class="customer_service right"> and change it to <li class="customer_service"> then add .customer_service{display:none;} to the stylesheet_mega_menu.css file

Changing the tpl_mega_menu.php file is completely unnecessary to remove the Customer Service link in the top menu. You can add this to the bottom of the stylesheet_mega_menu.css to revmoe the customer service tab from the menu:

.customer_service{display:none;}
