Piccadilly Posh Template Support Thread

Hi anonymous, thanks for pointing me in the direction of the but I already changed all the hex codes in that to what I want and uploaded it, I still have pink category/sideboxes :blink:

Hi again Anne

Wow I think I have been living in a field in France for too long, haven't been keeping up with web developments, just messed about with the web developer tool on Chrome, amazing...sorted out the problem in a matter of minutes. Not sure why but dreamweaver missed one of the hex codes. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :-)

Hi again anonymous

spot on, I used Google Chrome web developer tool and it found the rouge hex code instantly, all sorted now, thanks for the help :-)

Hi Anne

Not sure what happened there but the database problem is sorted. I am not sure why or how the web developer tools on Chrome can tell me what file to use to change a colour, I use Dreamweaver to search for the hex code usually but I have changed all the hex codes in the whole site (Dreamweaver find and replace for colour hex #FFE5EF) and I still have pink categories/sideboxes :-( I have tried manually searching in case Color Cop is picking up the wrong shade but still no joy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes Kim

Use the web developer tools. They will help.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi

Can anyone point me in the direction of the page/code that I need to amend to change the colour of the sideboxes? I have been searching for days in all the css files. I have searched the forum but all the relevant posts are between 2008 - 2011 and the code doesn't seem to appear in my css files. I currently have the pale pink background on the category and other boxes and this changes to lime green on hover. I am using the Piccadilly Posh template; you can see the problem here; t h e c a n d l e a n d c a r d c o . c o m
Thanks Kim

it might be a hover thing in that css file too

To center the tabs add this to the sylesheet_module_tabs.css file #moduleMenu

margin-left:120px;

Anne, I went to the thread above and when I open my stylesheet_module_tabs.css file, this is all that I see. I want the new products to show instead of having to click on the button.

OHMYGOSH, I finally got it. I was looking for that code. I didn't know that I just had to add it. I was going to say that I am sorry, Anne, for asking so many questions in the last few days (here, email, your forum), but then, maybe I had to ask them in order to figure them out on my own. Ha!

I love your templates and this is the third one I have worked with but I'm having alot of trouble with this one. I need to make the following changes:

Remove the phone number in footer (everytime I do what said in the help file my store goes blank.
Change the text color in the sideboxes, I know simple but I can't find it.
Change pink text to red on products
Center header image (I tried changing logo padding to 150 ######## it didn't move at all)
I changed my store name as stated in the read me file but it didn't change when viewing the site.

I'm sure these are all simple problems and I'm sorry for asking, I've just been at this all day and am having no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you follow the instructions in the readme.html file, you will be able to make the changes. My guess is that you are deleting too much of the code or are not in the correct file, etc. You may also not be editing the override file and/or not clearing your browser cache when viewing your site so you are not seeing the changes.

If you want to make css changes to the template I would recommend using firefox or chrome and the web developer tools to find the lines of the stylesheets that need to be changed.

Thanks,

Anne

I'm using this template and I changed the color of the rating review stars a while back, and now I don't like them. I can't find the originals, so I d/l the template again, but after checking the folders, I can't seem to find them. Where are they hiding?

Thanks!

I have no idea what changes you made. If you just changed the images then you can right click on the image and open it in a new tab to see where it is saved on your server.

Thanks,

Anne

I changed the color of the stars and then saved it, overwriting the original, so all I have are silver stars. I don't even remember the color of the original stars. By d/l a new template, I thought I could find the stars and then just use them (I know how), but I can't find the folder they are contained in.

Thanks!

includes/templates/piccadilly_posh/images/stars_5.gif

that should be where all your images for the stars are at. glad to see you are still around, thought you got lost.

In my other post I told you how to find out the folder where they are saved.

Thanks,

I know where the images for stars are located. However, I overwrote them and so even though I know where they reside, they do not look like the originals that came with this template. At this point, I do not remember what they even looked like.

That is when I thought to d/l a new template. I looked in the folder where I thought they would be: templates/Piccadilly_posh/images, but they are not there.

That is what prompted me to write the post in the first place.

I have since taken some free stars I found online, but they are not transparent and that makes them look a bit strange. So basically I'd like the stars with a transparent background, since my page is white and the stars I am currently using are red with a grey background.

Just to make sure I'm not missing something, I just now d/l yet another copy of Piccadilly_posh, and again I do not see any stars images in the: templates/Piccadilly_posh/images folder. In alphabetical order, it goes from slide5.jpg to twitter.png. No stars. I opened every folder in the new download and I don't see stars anywhere.

Then maybe you were just using the default stars that come with zen cart. Check in the template_default/images folder.

Anne

Right-clicking just shows me where the stars are currently housed, but I knew I had moved them years ago from original folder.

Yes, I discovered this last evening after a couple of hours of multiple postings, multiple Piccadilly_posh downloads, and searching everything in my download folder. I purposely posted in this folder because I thought the stars were located in the template. Wish I knew before all of that wasted time that the template contained no stars.

Hi,
I have had my website up and running fine for a few years, a few weeks ago I kept getting an error message, contacted my host and they eventually sorted it out (guessing they had upgraded a server software) but they won't say. Since then my home page formatting is bizarre, the text is too big and is pushing everything out of line, but this is only on the category pages. If I go to 'New Products' or Featured Products it is fine. Any ideas how to fix this? Here are the links;

New Products page which is ok; http://thecandleandcardco.com/index.php?main_page=products_new
