Sophy Blue Template

I just uploaded to ZC system my first template. Just waiting for team approval.

I'm uploading a screen shot.

Hoping to find good comments about it. :unsure:

Re: Sophy Blue Template

There are a few issues with this template ...

1 Knowing the width of the columns ... as your columns are not "springy" and do not grow left to right ...

2 dropdowns are teeny, tiny, itty bitty text not even an ant could walk on ...

Looks like a nice template but does need some updating to make it usable ...

Oooops, no....they are a 175 fixed. Is there a way I can make them "springy"? I know how to do it on 1.2+ but not on this version. :unsure: (sorry for that one). :blush:

2 dropdowns are teeny, tiny, itty bitty text not even an ant could walk on ...
Hmmmmm.... I don't see it that way on my side (not FF not IE). And I don't remember changing that on the CSS but I will take a look at it.

Thanks... :smile:

Re: Sophy Blue Template

I have to agree with Linda about the drop downs, in fact input fields generally (to include search), but only in IE (small fonts + IE = big clue). Also your CSS contains an error, actually 5 but its the same one repeated 5 times, specifically you use "x-repeat" for background images. It should be "repeat-x".

Otherwise, quite a nice template. Nice work, it's good to see a choice of templates now beginning to emerge for v1.3+

I really don't see it and can't fix something I can't see. I did check "small font" and put the px higher, maybe that will fix it, but I don't know since I don't see it bigger neither on my browsers.
Also your CSS contains an error, actually 5 but its the same one repeated 5 times, specifically you use "x-repeat" for background images. It should be "repeat-x".
Ok, got that fixed, and also upload an updated version, with some little changes.
Otherwise, quite a nice template. Nice work, it's good to see a choice of templates now beginning to emerge for v1.3+
Thanks, more coming soon.

Re: Sophy Blue Template

if your sideboxes are not standard sizes the botton of them is out of alignment in IE, quite a few of the others do the same

You can see HERE that they aren't misaligned in any of the 2 main browsers. Just remember to go to admin and change the column and boxes size to 175 instead of 150 that's the default (as per instructions).

There's no fix because there's no issue. They can't be changed to "springy" with this version of ZC. :unsure:

Re: Sophy Blue Template

It would need a small code tweak in tpl_box_default_left and tpl_box_default_right to create an extra div and then a fair bit of messing with the images and the stylesheet.

It could be done, but the result would be much easier to break by users who don't fully understand the underlying structure and how the solution works. One of these days I'll do it for the future Zen template, but am waiting until I have time to do a tutorial to accompany it, as I suspect that it will otherwise lead to a flood of questions.

Re: Sophy Blue Template

Yes kuroi,

Have fun Sheila!

Re: Sophy Blue Template

Hi,
I am a very newbie to all this ecommerce, and I am learning as I go, so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions. I really love this template, and have been fiddling with it to make it my own, but ....I somehow have change the font size on some of the boxes. I know there was mention of font sizes in previous replies, and I have fixed the small font problem, (dont know how mind) but now have very large fonts on just some of the boxes, and the home/login/my account in the header. :cry:

Any help would be gratefully received.:D

Re: Sophy Blue Template

You have to play with the CSS to make it to your own taste.

Add to .headernavigation section the following line:

font-size: 12px;

...or your desired size
