Biki kini - Go Green

This a slightly different version of the original template Biki kini. Instead of uploading it as a new version of the Biki kini, I decided to upload it as a new template mostly for the following reasons.
The header has been changed.
Footer area has been significantly changed.
Menu bars are completely css style.

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

Looks nice and I like it a little better than your first one. Good job!

One question though. Why remove the header search box? I understand that many customers like and use the search boxes, and that it would be considered a design error to not have one.

Actually I like it a little better myself. LOL!
This is probably last in its series (biki kini). I am working on some more template but the announcement will be in my facebook and my Newroom page. I really liked your suggestion on the shop link you sent in your earlier thread. They used different cart system other than zen cart but I would think one can take zen cart and modify the styling. That will need a little more involved work.
Good comment about search box also. I probably missed it when updating. I shall add it in...
Thanks so much for your feedback. Really appreciate it.

The search box is a part of resetting layout boxes controller (admin menu: tools->Layout Boxes Controller->reset). I did not do it in my site purposefully to avoid too many layout boxes. But since it is causing confusion, I reset the layout boxes controller. :)

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

The new template "biki kini - go green" looks very similar to the older template "biki kini" as I kept the main theme as well as color scheme the same. However, here are the major differences I wanted to point out so that template users can take the benefit of the new update.

  1. The footer menu is completely re-done. CSS file as well as tpl_footer.php has been modified.
  2. The side box menu header as well as the new item/featured and special item menu header have been completely re-done with CSS instead of using bkground image. This gives the developers more control on how to display the menu headers.
  3. The header has been re-done as well.
  4. Mega menu CSS gradient effect has been changed in favor or regular non-gradient menu.

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

I like this 'Go Green' :)

I actually looking for a 'advance' look of footer menu, guess this is so far the best for my ZC1.5
Mind to ask, if I just wanted to change the footer menu, can I refer to your CSS file & tpl_footer.php ? Is there any other file?

About the update of your footer. Depends on what you are trying to do. Feel free to write what you are interested in doing.

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

Hi,
i tried the biki kini template and it looks very good. But i hve a problem with the manufacturers box. The browser is displaying all the php code after the first arrow operator in tpl_mega_menu.php there.

line 107

  $manufacturer_sidebox = $db->Execute($manufacturer_sidebox_query);

So everything after -> is visible.
I work with php 5.3.1. Is it an error within a wrong php-version?

This does not seem to be a php problem. I would Follow the link of the template (<http://creativsite.com/templates/bikikini/index.php?main_page=page_2> )
 to test in IE. I have tested it using IE 9.0 
Did you check if you have correctly install ?

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

I like the change you did to the footer, good job. I just wanted to pop in and suggest something that I see, in the drop down menu when you hover over the items they shift. I was the first one to have a template using this drop down mega menu and had the same issues, but if you change the padding on hover this can be fixed so they drop down menu does not move. Just one small thing I think will help you make the template even stronger!
Keep up the great work!

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

Hey man!
Great template! Loving it! :)
I am using zencart 151, I have made some customisations and plugin installations.
Anyway for some reason the member registration are making some problems. I am filling out the form correctly, after submitting it I am getting to the same place.
Is it a known solvable problem?
Thanks ahead! :)

Thanks for liking the template. I went to actual template site on CREATIVsite
http://creativsite.com/templates/bikikini/index.php?main_page=index&zenid=5308bd8dfcc5d1913676e995ec88d5d8

and tested the login form by adding information. It is working ok. I am getting the following screen:

"Your Account Has Been Created!
Congratulations! Your new account has been successfully created! You can now take advantage of member privileges to enhance your online shopping experience with us. If you have ANY questions about the operation of this online shop, please email the store owner.

A confirmation has been sent to the provided email address. If you have not received it within the hour, please contact us."

If you are not getting this info, there is possibility that during customization, something may have went wrong.

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

I have just noticed a problem with a button on "the shopping cart" screen.
the "continue checkout" button is really the "continue shopping" button as it takes you to the home page.

Where do I change "continue checkout" to "continue shopping"?

Re: Biki kini - Go Green

Hi,
Thanks for catching this. It appears that one of the buttons was wrong. I mistyped it when creating the button set. I submitted a new zip with this new button.
Apologize for the inconvenience.

I submitted the newer version to go green template. The version is 1.01. You would soon get it from the main template page.
