Preston Elite Template Support Thread

Anne,
I'm working a project to develop a method of tracking installed mods and was able to find all but the Pure CSS Header Mega Menu. Do you happen to have a link for that mod?
THANX

No, this is a module that I may release at some point in the future, but have been using in many of my new template releases ;-)

Thanks,

Anne

You can edit the includes/templates/preston_elite/templates/tpl_index_default.php file.

Thanks,

Is your template in any way having any compatibility issues with Ultimate SEO URLs version 2.07? I am having a hard time installing that, everything looks good but the admin is broken, just the header and a blank page, all files have been uploaded to their respective paths, so I was wondering if anything you added to your template might be causing this ... Of course the template itself, can't affect this, but a feature included with it ... I am trying to rule out all possibilities ...

Please note this is a fresh install just Zen Cart 1.5 and Preston Elite, and issues are on the admin backend nowhere else ...
this is the URL http://theoutletseason.com/trade

I know that others have successfully installed that module. Since your problem is with your admin and there are no admin files in the template package I doubt that the template is causing the problem. Check your cache or logs folder for error messages and fix the errors.

Personally, I never use that module due to the many problems I have heard about it with some native and addon functionality. I always use Ceon URI Mapping.

Thanks,

I tried to hide Price unavailable and was not able find where else it could be defined, I went to all the possible locations i could find but nevertheless I was not able to find an instance that make that lable to disappear, I tried several things in /includes/languages/english.php, such as leaving the defines empty, or just simply adding a space no matter what the Price unavailable label still shows up check up my site which is b2B only not a store, so prices should not be disclosed. I already set up the store to be only logged in users are able to see the prices, but couldn't get rid of the annoying Price Unavailable label visitors see.

If you do a developers toolkit search for the text that you want to change/elimiate you will find the file and line number. Be sure that you are editing override files.

I did that exactly and couldn't find ANYTHING, and asked in other forums, so my last resort was to ask here ... No it supposed not to appear anywhere but it does, I did check the override system ... EVERY single file searching for instances of Price Unavailable find none ...

When I search in my developers toolkit I get this result:

includes/languages/override/english.php

Line #520 : define('TEXT_LOGIN_FOR_PRICE_PRICE','Price Unavailable');

Line #527 : define('TEXT_AUTHORIZATION_PENDING_PRICE', 'Price Unavailable');

Hello Anne

I have the template installed and working but there is two minor issues, 1 being the cart icon and the other being the logo both are uploaded to the server via ftp but neither will show on front end. I have done everything correctly and followed you tutorial exactly to ensure no mess up's. When I upload them I get the message checking I wish to overwrite I click yes but nothing appears on main site. I have double checked I am uploading to the right file as in your read me file and I am.

I have made my logo the recommended size so this shouldn't cause any issues and the Cart icon is the one that comes with the package.

Your logo and cart icon are not in the correct folders.

I would recommend re-uploading the template package. Then you can upload your logo to includes/templates/preston_elite/images/logo.png

Anne

Thank you Anne got it sorted now. I saved the pages I had done in notepad so I can add them back in quickly :)

Hello Anne

Got a slight problem. I uploaded a image for the about us in the mega menu. Used exactly the same size as the image that was in there and ensured it was in png format. When I refreshed the site everything has gone except the background. I have removed the image but the site has not re-appeared. I have re-uploaded the CSS file but thought it may be safer to ask you before doing anything else on the off chance I may be able to upload a file that won't take everything out I have already done on the site.

Thank you

Whenever you have a blank page or part of a blank page you need to check your /cache or /logs folder for errors and correct them.

Thanks,

Hi Anne

I did check them before posting and I googled it but came up with nothing of use. This is the error I have File does not exist: /home/*******/public_html/404.shtml
From what I have read it seems it could be anything.

No, you need to check the /cache or /logs folder inside your store root for error messages, not your web host eror logs.

Thanks,

I have found the errors Anne:

It looks like you are missing your index.php file. This is not a template related error message.
