TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

rosebone:

Direct link to what I'm looking on help for:

http://vdmfabrics.com/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2

If you look at the page there's the drop down menu for Fabric Length Size.
I was hoping to do 2 things with that:
1- Remove the 'Please Choose' copy the menu
2- Move the menu up higher on the page so it is bottom aligned with the 'Add to Cart' box.

I've been able to figure out most things so far on my own, but these are troubling me. Any and all help is well appreciated and thank you in advance.

-Rose

Moving things around would require changes to the tpl_product_info_display.php file. I don't modify this file in TruBlu so you can copy the one from template_defaults into the TruBlu/templates directory and modify the location of things. You can possibly find help with this in the zen-cart wiki

The add-to-cart stuff is part of zen-cart, not my template. To disable, simply set your store to one of the showcase options in Configuration->MyStore->Store Status

Yes, remove this line:

<td colspan="1" width="20%" class="[B]leftboxheading[/B]"><img src="includes/templates/tvc/images/sidebox_icon_catalog.gif" alt="" /></td>

from:
includes/templates/tvc/common/tpl_box_default_left.php
includes/templates/tvc/common/tpl_box_default_right.php
includes/templates/tvc/common/tpl_box_default_single.php

(the bold part will be different in each file.)

<td colspan="1" width="20%" class="leftboxheading"><img src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('/sidebox_icon_catalog.gif',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/sidebox_icon_catalog.gif'?>" alt="" /></td><td colspan="3" width="80%" class="leftboxheading" id="<?php echo str_replace('_', '-', $box_id) . '-heading-td'; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></td>

Oh sorry about that. I was looking at an old version. You will delete this part:

<img src="<?php echo $template->get_template_dir('/sidebox_icon_catalog.gif',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/sidebox_icon_catalog.gif'?>" alt="" />

That should only remove the gold file icon.

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

Great Template. I had it working fine with 1.3.7, but as soon as I upgraded to 1.3.8, it broke, and I'm having a devil of a time getting things back the way they were.

Is there a plan to revise this template to be 1.3.8 compliant?

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

First off... this is NEW to me, but I don't care for the green default settings, so I tried loading this trublu. However, I had been reading in the Knowledgebase that you shouldn't replace the files, but instead, set up CUSTOM folders and load the files into the CUSTOM folders. So, I tried to follow that basis and loaded the trublu folders under /CUSTOM/ for each of the different folders, such as:

includes/modules/CUSTOM/sideboxes/
includes/templates/CUSTOM/buttons/
includes/templates/CUSTOM/commons/
includes/templates/CUSTOM/css
includes/templates/CUSTOM/images/
includes/templates/CUSTOM/sideboxes
(and others that were in the trublu zip file were done the same way)

I go to Tools/Template Selection/ and I see TruBlu and edit to this template, but the colors are NOT blue (actually Gray header, beige (left side), green (right side), yellow (EZPages::Privacy Notice::Shared::Zen Cart) and all the sideboxes are gone.

This doesn't seem to work. So, I've tried moving the folders around in various structures to see if it would make a difference and the TruBlu disappears from the template selection choices. I get the feeling that the only way to make this work is to replace the files in the original folders... I am correct?

Templates are pre-packaged in their own "custom" folders. You aren't replacing any of the default files. Just copy the entire structure to your server and select it from the template selection. TruBlu is in its own folder called "trublu". It doesn't replace any of the other template files.

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

Thanks... that helped get me started. At least, it now shows the TruBlu format. However, I keep getting lost in how I need to make it come together with other changes I need to make. Hopefully, you can help me understand how to do this... (such as, which files I need to change and where to upload them without changing the original files).

If I want to get rid of the ZenCart logo and the "Tag Line" and/or replace them, where would I find the code for this and after making the changes, where would I upload the files so they are picked up by the TruBlu template selection? (i.e. under TruBlu/language/english? or other such structure?)

When they say "Don't change the 'original' files" they are referring to the core zen-cart files. When referring to templates, the only core zen-cart files are in the "template_default" folder. All Templates, including TruBlu are considered "editable" as needed.

Templates are basically overrides of the original files.

For example, if the core file is: includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php

then the override would be : includes/templates/trublu/common/tpl_header.php

if you were to delete the one in the trublu folder, it would default to the one in the template_default folder. But if you were to add it back to trublu.. it would use the one in the trublu folder.

The same goes for all files in the template_default folder. If you want to override something that Trublu doesn't already override, simply copy the file from template_default into the trublu folder. Be sure to keep the relative path:

template_default\common\xxx <-> trublu\common\xxx

template_default \css\xxx <-> trublu\css\xxx

etc

For folders outside of the template area, the same kinda rule applies. if you want to override a nodule file to match this template you would copy the original from the core location and create a folder with the same name as the template:
includes/modules/xxx.php
to
includes/modules/trublu/xxx.php

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

Thanks for the info... I think it finally sank in & my shop is actually starting to come together. Since you've been a big help and quite patient with my lack of knowledge, I'm hoping you might help me with another tweak that I haven't been able to figure out.

Across the very top is a "colored band" that starts off blue on the left, gradually fades to white in the middle and then back to blue. I have modified the following in language/english/trublu/header.php:

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'Brand New to Antiques<br>Collectibles, Gifts, & More');
However, it is off-centered a bit to the right. If it could center, I think it would fall completely within the white area and down into the large white band (which is what I would like for it to do).

Do you how which document I need to edit and what I would need to change to get this to center?

I can't remember any blue/white/blue background (been a while since i looked at my own template :P) but to center the header sales text, look for "tagline" in the css (i think that's what its called.. something with "tag"). add text-align:center to its css section.

Re: TruBlu - Blue Template w/ Sidebox Header Images

I have uploaded the theme to arbgames.com.au and don't see the sideboxes, the home page looking quite empty. I am pretty sure that I have done what I should but I could not find those files to delete stylesheet_orginal and stylesheet_new. Is this where I am going wrong?

I also uploaded the Blue Admin theme but it has not taken effect. I did rename the menu and stylesheet file and uploaded the image so I have no idea where I went wrong.
:wacko:
