Sheffield Blue Template Support Thread

Hi,

I've installed this template, been able to control the contact_us menu option so that do not get spam through it, moved some things around and clean it up so that features are enabled/disabled as set in the admin panel (version 1.5.1 of Zen Cart); however, I am trying to figure out where/how to disable the Details drop down if there is nothing present that would populate that drop down. (ie., on page loads where data is present to have it load/display, and on pages where nothing would be present to have it disappear.) I would also like to apply the CSS necessary to have the full description show on page load instead of the default of it being hidden.

The problem is that the words "details" and "description" are throughout ZC so when searching for these particular areas, I have not had much success and I am trying to get through this portion as quickly as I can. Could someone please direct me to which file(s) to look in for the programming code, and in which of the CSS files it would be recommended to add the line that will make the description show upon loading the page similar to having the special products, new products, and/or featured products show on the main page?

Are you talking about the toggle for the details and description on the product info page in the Responsive Sheffield Blue template? If so, there is a patch for this that has been posted to the support thread for that template.

Thanks,

Anne

Yes... Sorry, posted in the wrong thread... Close but not quite. (probably why I have been unable to find the answer I was looking for as well.)

Thank you, I'll try looking/searching there. (I do have this template installed as well, but not trying to modify it at the moment.)

I have been trying to increase the number of slides available on the main page. I found the 'tpl_home_slider.php' page and tried to simply add more lines based on the code, but it does not increase the number of slides. is there a setting in a file somewhere that allows you to increase the number for 5 to 7? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Please see the readme.html for instructions on how to add more images to the slide show.

I have found no way to edit the "about_us" page
I did run sql patch to get it to show up in list but it does not show up on the define pages drop down list to select

Check to be sure that the includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_about_us.php file is on your server.

Thanks,

Anne

No that file is not there or even on my pc where can I find the file to upload?

Just copy includes/languages/english/html_includes/sheffield_blue/define_about_us.php to includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_about_us.php

Thanks,

Anne

This is actually a question for the responsive sheffield blue thread. You can use firebug and make your edits to the responsive.css file.

Thanks,

Anne

Sorry about that I thought I was in the right one and I got it fixed too than thank you

Hi Anne,
Is there a way to have the Contact Us section of the mega menu to stay visible after you click on a field but without having to keep your mouse on it?

Here's the website: http://www.offroadrescuenetwork.com

The website is in frenche so the Contact Us section is "Nous joindre".

Probably. Have you searched google for an answer? Since I don't know the answer off the top of my head, this is what I would do.

Thanks,

Ok, thanks. I'll see if I can find something.

Hi,
first of all thanks for an awesome template, im new to zen-cart but have read all your readme instructions (very clear, thanks) and the whole 50 pages of support in this template forum.

The result is this by now: www.kite-addi***ction.es/tienda please delete the *

As you can see i have two languages, english (template original) and spanish.
I want to be able to set different text in the currencies and languages in the header (i have located the file in includes / templates / sheffield_blue / sideboxes / tpl_languages_header.php and tpl_currencies_header.php).

The text there is in english, i want it to be able to be a different one when spanish language is selected. Usually i have translated everything with your wonderful instructions, but here the file is in the templates folder and not in the english or spanish folder under the languages folder, and im scared to move it.

Kind regards,

David

So, in this situation, the two files described are where they are because of the purpose they serve, they are sidebox templates. What you may have discovered is that the template file has information that is written specifically in english inside the template. (I would find that unusual for Anne's templates, but it could happen.). If you have found in those files the exact text you are wanting to change is being displayed, printed, echo'd, between php closers, then it should be replaced with a constant and the constant defined in the languages directory (english as well as other desired language). So if the "text" seen in either of the two files is all capital letters, (and the on screen result is not) then the text is defined in one of the language files and needs to be defined in your chosen language.

I'm sure anne or someone that has ready access to the files could have summarized the steps better, but honestly so could I have if advised exactly what text was to be changed.

Are you wanting the word currencies changed, languages? Or the items in the languages list, etc?

Yes, this is an old bug that has been documented and is on the list for a future update.

In the tpl_currencies_header.php file, you can change:

Currencies:  

to

<?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CURRENCIES; ?>

and in the tpl_languages_header.php file, change:

Languages:  

to:

<?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LANGUAGES; ?>

Then add the define statements for the constants in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/sheffield_blue/headermenu.php file:

define('HEADER_TITLE_CURRENCIES','Currencies');
define('HEADER_TITLE_LANGUAGES','Languages');

Thanks,

Anne
