Stirling Grand Responsive Template

Okay, I am partly answering my own question....I put this code in:

However, the font is not right. How to fix that?

I'm using this template and I added the hide categories module. While it works in the categories sidebox, the "hidden" category still shows up in the drop down menu at the top of the page. Is there a workaround for this?

Do you want to use both sidebox category list and mega_menu dropdown? If not, and if you want to use the dropdown, the simplest way would be to hard code your categories in mega_menu as a list. There may be some nice php to bring about the same effect, but I haven't seen it...

Thank you for the speedy response! It does seem rather redundant to have the sidebox categories and the nav bar categories. How would I go about hard coding the categories in mega_menu as a list?

In tpl_mega_menu.php, find

        <div class="dropdown_1column">
            <div class="col_1 firstcolumn">
               <div class="levels">
                   <?php

// load the UL-generator class and produce the menu list dynamically from there
require_once (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'categories_ul_generator.php');
$zen_CategoriesUL = new zen_categories_ul_generator;
$menulist = $zen_CategoriesUL->buildTree(true);
$menulist = str_replace('"level4"','"level5"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level3"','"level4"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level2"','"level3"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('"level1"','"level2"',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace('<li class="submenu">','<li class="submenu">',$menulist);
$menulist = str_replace("</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n","</li>\n</ul>\n",$menulist);
echo $menulist;
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li><!-- eof categories -->

and replace the <div class "levels">...</div> with <ul class="levels">....</ul> from the "quicklinks-li" above it, ie the first item in the mega menu. Then replace each <li> link - the a href="...." content with your links to your categories, and <?php echo whatever; ?> with your category name. Where your category name replaces 'whatever'. So you will end up with a list of your categories replacing the current dropdown list. Back up your tpl_mega_menu.php before you try it.

I hope that makes sense.

Oh. Before you remove the sidebox category list, use it to collect the links to the categories you want to display in the mega menu. Then turn off your sidebox. Adding categories is simply adding more <li>'s.

Oh god. Sorry. Not where your category name replaces 'whatever'. You category name should replace

where 'whatever' refers to the bit in upper case in each of the <li>'s. So just replace the whole

with your category name. Sorry. It's getting late.

Thank you!!

Glad it worked. Sorry about the three-part explanation.

You can add css to fix the link, or add the same class/classes that is on the other li items so that they all look the same.

Thank you so much for helping out on the thread while I was away on an internet free vacation for a few days ;)

I know about the need for an internet free vacation. Happy to do something to minimise the pile on your desk when you got back. (The problem with holidays...)

Hello again, not sure if this has been asked but I don't have enough slides to place in the slideshow inside stirling grand. If I take it down to one image it does weird stuff, so I would like to put a lone image in it's place. Is that call out in a php file. If so, could you name the file for me please? Thanks ahead of time!

The call for the slide show is in includes/templates/stirling_grand/common/tpl_header.php

Thanks,

When I upload a product image and then click on "larger image," it isn't large enough, even though the file I uploaded is 750 pixels long. It is maybe about 1/4 of that. Which file do I need to modify to make the "larger image" larger?

Thanks! :-)

Thank you, Anne & rbarbour! Sorry I did not see this when first looking through the thread.

hello Everyone, i am new to this site, and web design

i am trying to set up a small online shop and i have a problem, i have tried googling it, but so far i cant find the answer

i am using zen cart with Stirling Grand template installed, it took me a while as i am very new

i followed step 8 of the guide about adding a logo to my site, and i now have the logo on the site, but it seems it has moved other parts of the site around in the process, is there a maximum height that a logo can be?, as mine is currently 302px wide by 150px high, i also changed the sizes on the CSS as the guide said.

would someone be kind enough to help me with this please? if please explain in very simple terms, i cannot stress enough how poor my knowledge is at the moment :)

thanks for reading
