Bentley Classic Template Support Thread

DivaVocals:

Hey Anne thanks.. It's the mega menu that comes wit this template.. and yes I already made the categories and manufacturers two columns.. I may just be still sleep deprived.. I spent ALL of this weekend backing up the old site and transferring over my development code.. (most of that time was spent struggling to backup the old site - 10GB of CRAP!!) I am just not clearly seeing what is required to widen the columns.. So if this ends up being is a simple answer I apologize in advance..:blush:

You can do something like this:

.mega-menu .dropdown_2columns {width: 400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 {width:400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 ul li{width:200px;}

Thanks,

Anne

Getting closer.. It's that last declaration I was missing apparently.. Thanks Anne:smile:

Okay.. So I wanted to widen these columns a tad so that the category names would not wrap the way they are now.. For the manufacturers this seems to be fine.. the product categories are still wrapping the text.. I tried adding to the widths above but get an undesirable result (suddenly my 2 column becomes one BIG single column and the category names still wrap)

You need to play around with the widths until you get the exact ones that you want ;-)

Try this:

.mega-menu .col_2 {width:400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 ul li a{width:250px;}

Thanks,

Anne

No, try this instead:

.mega-menu .dropdown_2columns {width: 400px;}
.mega-menu .col_2 {width:400px;}
.mega-menu .level2 li a{width:300px;}
.mega-menu .level2 li{margin-right:45px;}

Thanks,

Anne

Well this helps.. I played around and got mostly everything working correctly.. I get a weird happening when I hover over certain categories where the right column jumps over to the left.. Doesn't happen when hovering over the manufacturers.. Hmmmm.. I will mess around with trying to figure out how to stop that behavior later.. I'm kinda tired of looking at this.. :laugh:

Yes, check your css. Although this technique is an easy way to get 2 columns in the categories/manufactures drop downs, if it is not working for you, you should look at the categories_ul_generator file and make modifications there and to in the tpl_mega_menu.php file, the part that loads the ul generator.

Yeah at some point I will do that.. Not sure what I'd be looking for, but I'll have a looksee at some point soon.. For now it's really only two categories it happens to and my client has okayed me taking a break on fixing this for right now.. Thanks for your help!!:smile:

Hi Guys,

I just want a quick guide to how to activate and edite the slide show menu in the center of the tamplate as I disabled it a long time ago and now I don't remember how I did that ?

Hi Guys,

How did you disable it? Did you add a display:none; to the stylesheet or did you remove the code?

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,
Happy Holidays! Thank you for creating such a great template for Zen Cart, I was using estorenow template before but couldn't get it to configure the way I want it to look. I just started to customize your template with slideshow and logo etc. but I noticed that my slideshow is not below the header, instead it is overlapping it. I've also view other pages and it is the same, can you please guide me on how I resolve this?

http://selectious(dot)com/index(dot)php?main_page=index

Also, please advise how I can line my Option Name attributes in a row, right now, it is all over the place... :(

http://selectious(dot)com/index(dot)php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=180

I tried to re-upload the css files but that did not resolve the issue and I'm using zencart 1.3.9h.

Thank you very much!

I tried to view the site but it would not load ;-(

Hi Anne,
Please try this:

http://selectious.com//index.php?main_page=

Also the product attribute page:
http://selectious.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=180

Thank you again

If you are not going to use all of the elements shown in the template demo then you will probably have to make some adjustments in the css for the other elements. You can move the slider down and the search box over in the stylesheet_mega_menu.css and stylesheet.css file.

Try adding:

.wrapperAttribsOptions{clear:both;}

to your stylesheet. css file along with some padding-bottom to the add to cart box.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks Anne, I will give it a try.

Happy Holidays!

Hi Anne,
Thank you very much for your guidance before but adding: .wrapperAttribsOptions{clear:both;} did not work. I wanted it to display like how this is displayed:
http://selectious.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

like each option name in a box of its own and next to each other.

Please guide me, I've been trying for months to try to get it to work but I just don't know how.

Thank you so so much.

I sound very much like the last post, I guess. I am trying to style a list in the product description, but nothing I do has any effect. Been at it for months, on and off. Is there something in coding other than css which is controlling list css?

If you have to make changes to the xhtml output by one of the php files then you can search for the file you need to change using the developers toolkit. Most changes to appearance can be made using css only and editing the stylesheet.css file.

I would recommend doing a google search for a beginners css tutorial to help you to learn how to style lists.

Thanks,

Anne

I want to add attributes to my products so clients can choose between "grey" and "light khaki"
When I setup the attributes and select "dropdown", on the product page it shows up as radio buttons and both attributes are selected.
When I choose radio button at the setup then on products page it still shows up as radio buttons and both are still selected.
Does not matter if I choose a default attribute or not, it keeps on coming up with two radio buttons, both selected.

I think it is a template problem because if I use the preview function in the control panel then the attributes display correctly both for dropdown and radio options.

See http://www.4x4direct.co.za/shop/seat-covers-toyota-c-54_55/hilux-dc-1992-1998-airotec-p-608.htm

At the moment the attributes are setup as dropdown but you can see it shows up as radio boxes

It's unlikely that this is a template issue.. but it sounds like you've installed some kind of mod to manage attributes like Stock By Attributes or Dynamic Dropdowns and that is most likely the cause of the problem you are seeing with attributes..

Thanks I got sorted. I did not setup the attributes properly. So it was a user fault not a template fault
