Glasgow Neat Template Support Thread

Thank you! I will try that now! :-)

picaflor-azul:

You will add it to the includes/templates/glasgow_neat/css/stylesheet.css file. Do a google search for how to add a background image in css if you need more direction ;)

Thanks,

Anne

I've tried a lot to find the answers I need in the read me file (which was very helpful) and the forum, but I am stuck on some things:

1. In the stylesheet_mega_menu.css, I was able to edit .mega-menu .levels a {display: block;width: 20em;font-weight:normal;} from 10em to 20em, which allowed the longer product categories to fit on one line. However, the off-white shadowing behind the words (that forms the box with the list) is now not quite wide enough. I have tried many of those px numbers in that same file to increase the width, but I cannot find the right one for the Quick Links and the Shop (product categories) drop downs. Please let me know which line I need to edit to make it wider.

2. How do I get rid of the footer entirely? I have tried the things I have read and nothing seems to be working, unless I am doing something wrong. In tpl_main_page.php, it said I could comment out lines to remove the footer, but I do not know what it means to "comment" out, and I tried a few things that did not work.

3. How do I remove "Useful Links" in the header drop-down menu? I turned on the EZ Pages Drop-Menu Header in Sidebox from Step 5 of the Read Me File, but when I go to "Tools, EZ-Pages, nothing is there, and I did not delete anything. (Maybe it should be empty. Maybe that is only for if I want pages under useful links. ???) I even went to Configuration, EZ Pages Settings, and turning that on and off does nothing, either. I have no need for Useful Links, so I would like to just entirely delete Useful Links in both the header and footer. If I get rid of the entire footer, that will cure that, but the header is a puzzle.

Thanks so much for any additional help. I love the template! :-)

Okay, I answered my first question! :smile: I changed this line, .mega-menu .dropdown_1column {width: 145px;} to be 200 px.

Still need help with #2 & #3, though....

2. You can add #footer{display:none;} to the stylesheet_footer_menu.css file.

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

Thanks for the footer help! :smile:

The tab I am referring to in the Mega Menu used to be called "Info" but I renamed it to "Customer Service." Where it says "TITLE_EZ_PAGES," it used to say "Useful Links," but I deleted out the title only leaving the ' and ' in the code. Of course, I forgot where I deleted the "Useful Links" title, so I will need to find that file again to put those words back. Regardless, I would like to be able to edit all those in the drop-down for that tab. I may want to delete "About Us" there, and I definitely want that third column, "Useful Links," gone. I think that is the last piece of my puzzle, but I just cannot figure it out! :smile:

I think I found a way to "trick" it with resizing the Info Box. Good enough for me! :smile: However, last question, how do I remove the "Conditions of Use" from that drop-down menu I posted above? Thanks! :smile:

Okay, I am figuring it out in a round-about sort of way, so no need to reply to my previous posts. Thanks for the help you gave me. :smile:

The easiest way to remove things from the menu is to edit the includes/templates/glasgow_neat/common/tpl_mega_menu.php file ;)

Hi Anne, I just wanted to say thanks so much for this gorgeous template! I'm using it on http://www.librarymd.com/ with a Zen cart install for displaying a catalogue of products in Showcase mode.

Again Anne, superb job and your supplied HTML instructions were both detailed and crystal-clear. Thanks from Canada!

:hug:

Thank you so much for your kind words, I love to hear them ;)

First off, I want to say that I researched many different templates and none came close to the beauty and simplicity of the Glasgow Neat. Nice job!

This is my first Zen Cart installation so pardon what are probably simple questions (that I haven't been able to figure out myself).

1. I don't have a need for the rotating images at this point. How do I remove them from appearing on my site?

2. I'm having trouble with the order of the first two header items. I removed the currency and language sections but now the logo floats to the top of the web page followed by the navigation buttons (home - login - checkout). I want the navigation buttons to appear as they do in the demo, i.e., located at the top-right of the page. Then I want the logo to follow.

3. How do I center the logo?

Scratch my question #1. I found the solution online...not sure how I missed it the first time I searched. :blink:

Hi Yukionna,
How did you fix the problem with the logo and navigation buttons/search box?
:D
When I removed the currency and language sections, the menu for log in/checkout went to the top center, and same with the search box. I want these two to stay on the right side. My logo stayed in the left side, which I don't mind. :)
Any advice? Thanks

I have other questions..
I wonder how I can add a banner on the right of the logo, without messing up with the search box, lol
The menu for quick links, shop, brands... is too close to the logo, how can I add a space between these two?
Another stupid question maybe... in the navigation (header), the "Home, Log In, Cart, Chekout", how can I change the title of "Log In" to "Log In/Register"?
And: I changed my background color, and noticed that above the footer, there is a long white bar. I want to customize this bar, I don't know where to locate the file for this...

Thanks for anyone who can help me. I'm far from being a programmer, but I'm a quick learner. I have to say, thank you Anne for this awesome template! I hope I'll succeed in customizing it to suit my website needs. x :smile:

These questions are just about all css related. If you want to make these changes to the template I would recommend the w3 schools css tutorial and using the firefox web developer tools to help you find what lines of the css files need to be edited.

You can use the admin--tools-developers toolkit to search for any text that you want to change. The toolkit will tell you which line of which file needs to be edited.

If you get stuck I don't mind helping out as long as you have put in the effort and legwork to learn the skills you need to know to make the changes that you need to make.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi Anne,
Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it.
I'll search for the tutorials and try to learn how to customize my site (css is quite new to me, lol), hopefully I won't get stuck. Will keep you updated. Cheers!

Problem with removing a header menu item --> I want to remove the header menu item called "Service".

I tried adding the following code to the file called, "stylesheet_mega_menu.css", but it doesn't work (I added all three lines hoping that one of them would work):

.service-li{display:none;}
.customerservice-li{display:none;}
.customer_service-li{display:none;}

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, the installation is currently not on a publically accessible site so I can't provide a link. Can you tell me which file(s) or settings you would like to see and I will post that information here.
