Sophy Blue Template

Hi Ideasgirl
I'm just adding a new install to my new website after having used your template for some years now
I have a couple of quick questions to ask
When i view in IE I have a missing image icon in the header and when clicked it takes me back to the index page of the store (chrislinacre .co.uk/studio)
What I would like to do is make that link go right back to ...co.uk and i would like to work out which folder that image should be in (and what size)
thanks once again for your help :smile:

I have half solved this - I had // the line that called for the zc-logo.jpg file which firefox was happy with but IE disliked - now deleted the // and the extra image is showing in my header
I am really stuck on which file calls for this extra image and link in my header- I would be happy for the image and the link to be not there at all :blink:

Hi Chris,

I don't know what you mean about the "extra image" so I can't help you there.

To make that link go to the main page, just edit the file:
common/header.php

Around line 47 you should find the code to make the correct link.

Thanks - I managed to change the link - just need to make a new file for zc-logo.jog and it shud be just grand
You are a star x

An update of Sophy Blue has been submitted and approved. It's ready for you to download here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=184

For some weird reason there's a part on that page that I didn't write and I don't know where is coming from, is not valid. Please ignore the following:

You may see it live at: http://www.ohku.com/store (this will be temporarly).

Another weird thing on this update is that the updated description is under the old one. :blink:

Anyhow, it's ready, and it's waiting to be downloaded. If you are one of the thousands that downloaded this template and still using it, you can download the updated and upgraded version and install in your site.

Hope you like it.

This was only to mark the new template version thread title (I forgot on previous post).

Thank you for this wonderful template !!!

Love the template, except I'm having a problem with text boxes. When you click on any text boxes in order to enter text (search, name, address, etc), the cursor starts outside of the box to the left (and is invisible). As you type into the box, the cursor moves to the right, but it stays 2 to 3 characters to the left of the end of what you've typed. I thought maybe something didn't install correctly, so I reinstalled...no help. Please tell me how to fix my site: https://www.brewbrothers.biz/brewcart/

Also, how do I make it so you can read all of "Search" on the search button? You'll see what I mean when you look at the site.

Thanks!

Jay

The cursor going out of the box looks like is an IE bug since I can't see it on FF, Safari, nor Chrome and I really don't know how to fix it.

For the button issue please do the following:

You will have to grab a copy of this file:
includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

And make a copy into:
includes/templates/sophyblue/sideboxes/

Change the following:

    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' ' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SEARCH,HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON);
  } else {
    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' <input type="submit" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON . '" style="width: 45px" />';
  }

For:

    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' ' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SEARCH,HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON);
  } else {
    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' <input type="submit" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON . '" style="width: 55px" />';
  }

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I fixed the button issue by putting "Seek" on the button instead of "Search".

With regard to the cursor issue in text input boxes, I've gone to other sites using this template with IE, and I don't have the same problem I'm having on my site.

Alas, really like the color scheme, buttons, et all, but the new site has been up about just over 24 hours now, and we already have a bunch of e-mails from folks telling us the text entry boxes are messed up...arrgh.

Yes, but it will depend on what IE version because yesterday I look into my sandbox and it did happen to me on IE (using v8) it might be the dropdown shadow since IE doesn't handle it very well.

A suggestion: Take off that search and leave the sidebox search, you do have the space to have it on the side and it's even better since you have the "advance search" link too.

Thanks for your compliments... you did a great job customizing it.

Best,

BTW: In reality your site is not "Powered by Fermentation" is powered by Zen Cart.

I have the same problem with the text boxes and the cursor which there was a fix for it.

Please provide it for the benefit of all and I can fix the main file on the downloads.

sorry that should of said wish there was a fix not which there was a fix.

Ok, I'll see if I can track and kill this little bug this week. :flex:

okay I removed this section from the css stylesheet and it now works in IE8. cursor is inside the box

/* For IE 5.5 - 7 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=10, Direction=90, Color='#000000')
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=10, Direction=-90, Color='#000000')
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=10, Direction=180, Color='#000000')
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=10, Direction=120, Color='#000000');

Can you tell me how to change the colors on the side boxes???

Yes, like I mentioned before it probably had to do with the shadows since IE doesn't manage them very well. That's a temp solution if you don't mind not having the dropshadows of the wrapper. If you really want them, I will find a fix to it (if there's any).

The sideboxes color can't be changed by css you will have to change the color with a graphic editor if you have one.

having a devil of a time trying to get my right hand side bars aligned. text is off, and graphics do not align. any ideas what i am doing wrong?

see https://www.iwantagoodprice.com

Well alibaba, it looks like you changed the width of the main wrapper container. For that its needed to change some other areas of the css and make some changes to the design of the header.

Was that your intention?

you are right, i changed the main wrapper to 95% as i prefereed to have as much center space for the image and description of products. so a bit lost on how to fix the right section.

I used a different templat on another site i have https://www.betterbuynow.com and did not have the same issue.

any help on what section, lines i should change to correct this would be very welcome
