Moved path of store, now everything has changed! Please help.

Hi all

I have been working on my first Zen Cart store site and hid it away from the main public_html. I have now moved it over to public directory, but there are some major display issues, and I'm not sure what pages I need to now edit to fix them.

Is someone able to have a look at the store and give me some pointers?

www.thejigman.com.au

I need to change:

  • The header where the logo is. I am always unsure as to which page and which section I need to alter the height in.
  • The banner on the page: Is going across all the text which it wasn't doing before.

As always, your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jess

Also noticed that when I click on the home page it's taking me to another index page I had created, that has since been deleted. So confused :(

Re: Moved path of store, now everything has changed! Please help.

When you MOVE a zencart site, the URL references (paths) are determined by what you have put in the two CONFIGURE.PHP files.

So the ONLY files you edit will be your two configure.php files.

Re: Moved path of store, now everything has changed! Please help.

You have tried to embed your slideshow into your header area, but your header area has been declared as 150px high.

So when your slides come up, they are forcing extra height in the header, but as the CSS declares the hight to be 150, it them pushes everything else out the way...

I would not embed the slideshow in the header - for many reasons - mostly because the time taken to load the images will slow EVERY PAGE RELOAD, and start to annoy customers. You may think it looks cool, but it will just P1SS people off...

In your stylesheet, temporarily change:

#headerWrapper {
/* margin-bottom: 10px; */
width: 100%;
height: 150px;
}

to

#headerWrapper {
/* margin-bottom: 10px; */
width: 100%;
height: 435px;
}

..and you will see what I mean.

Rather put slider DIVS into your define_main_page.php

Thanks! I've made that change and all looks good on the main page. The problem that I have now is that it's not showing on other pages at all..

... which is probably a good thing, because of what i said earlier.

Making a site look like a pinball machine on steroids is a BAD idea.

Keep it SIMPLE...

Re: Moved path of store, now everything has changed! Please help.

hehe. Yes I agree, the problem is I was trying to follow the same structure so I would not have to learn how to modify much. I would have no idea now how to go and change the other pages to not have the gap! :(
