Glasgow Neat Template Support Thread

limitlesslabs:

Is there any way to display one image at a time on the slider?

Or replace the whole slider in the template?

Thanks in advance :)

You can edit the includes/templates/glasgow_neat/common/tpl_home_slider.php file. To remove the slide show you need to delete this file, remove the call for this file in the includes/templates/glasgow_neat/common/tpl_main_page.php, and remove the related slider files. You can download the rotating image slider module to see which files are used in the slider.

Thanks,

Anne

Just a quickie, could you please tell me how to get rid of Our Newest Arrivals or change it, I can't seem to locate it in the files. (overlays the slider on the main page)

It's ok I have found it .... it was in the rotating_image_slider.php file :)

If you post a link to your site I can take a look.

The templates have been cross browser tested in ie7 and ie8. If you have made css changes you may need to cross browser test again and add new styles to the stylesheet.css file. The templates come with a cross browser javascript installed so it is easy to do this. See the readme.html file credits section for the cross browser js author's site and for more info about using the script for your cross browser testing.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne, the link is http://www.englishflagsandgear.co.uk
The only changes I made in the css were text sizes and colours.....I tried uploading the original css file that comes with the tempplate but the gap is still there :( I have tried also to persuade the client to upgrade his browser but he just started shouting at me and said if he has this browser then so will others. What a pain in the bum!

I just looked at the site in ie8 and ie7 and do not see the space under the logo. It looks like you have already fixed it.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

I'm in the middle of installing this template for a friend. I must have done something really, really wrong, because so far all I have is your logo across the top. I've tried changing it to my friend's, and it doesn't show. The store items also don't show. Nothing shows. Help! I'm sure I must have missed some really simple step, but so far I have no idea what it is.

You can see what I mean here:

If you get a 500 internal server error, just hit refresh. The server is being stupid.

Thanks for your help!

Cancel that. It simply didn't upload properly the first time. I think I'm onto something now. :smile:

hi, can the front page photo slider change to "automatic move" instead of the existing one with "play" button? thanks.

This may be possible by modifying the jquery. Take a look at the original tutorial here:

oh thanks...i will study it.
btw, can u pls let me know where can change the font size, thanks.

I love this template, Ann. It is so elegant! Thank you very much!

Some questions:

1: I followed the instruction in the ReadMe to disable some mega menus, I found the 'SERVICE' can not be disabled. Here is what I add to the stylesheet_mega_menu.css:

/bof customer service/
.mega-payments{float:left;}
.mega-confidence{float:right;width:60%;}
.mega-about{float:left;width:70%;}
.mega-right{float:right;position: relative;margin-left: 10px;width:145px;}
.customerservice-li {display:none;}
.manufacturers-li {display:none;}

The website is: https://www.easycomfort.ca
You can see that 'Manufacturers' are disabled, while 'Service' is still there. You sure it is 'customerservice-li'?

2: I have changed the slides to 'JS Slide Show'. One strange thing happened: the slide show pictures with the name slide1.jpg, slide2.jpg...etc can not be called. I have to change the name to 1.jpg, 2.jpg...etc. Looks like the slides is still calling pictures by the original way. Where is the problem?

3: How can I adjust the gap between the mega menu and the slides. The gap looks a bit big for me.

4: When I click the sub categories, there are strange characters in front of the sub-category name, like '|_':

Is it a problem? How can I remove it?

Many thanks for your help! Ann.:)

You can make changes to the font sizes in the stylesheet files in the includes/templates/glasgow_neat/css directory.

I am happy that you like the template ;-)

1. Try:

[CODE]
.customer_service{display:none;}
/CODE]

2. Make sure that you remove all files associated with the rotating slide show before you install another slider.

3. If you want to make css changes to the template I would strongly recommend using firefox and the web develper tools available for it, particularly firebug. It will tell you which line of which css file needs to be edited.

4. This question has been asked and answered many times on the forum and there may even be a tutorial in the FAQ's section about it. If you do a search you will find your answer ;-)

Thanks,

Anne

Thank you for your reply. I'll go do my homework...:smile:
