PurpleShades Support Thread

Thanks Kobra, the template_info.php file was the first place I looked before posting here. Another user had a solution by modifying this file. Unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks.

The template_info.php file only provides info about the template name???? Not the css by page or category used??

Sorry if I'm not understanding but when I opened the css folder the read_me txt didn't have much about changing the header information. I must be missing something.

css readme

c_??_??.css   // changes to all info pages in a category

stylesheet.css for header background image

#logoWrapper{
	background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	height:75px;
	}

By creating additional css files and calling different images in these you can have different headers

scrapper:

... and the bottom images in the Specials box are out of the box. This is only a test shopfront and no changes have been made to the template or the 1.3.7 files. http://www.scrapbooks.net.au/137testshop Any ideas?

I also have problems with the bottom images in IE. In Firefox it is OK.
Is there a solution for this?

Try this and see if it helps: Find in the stylesheet.css file and add the highlighted entry.

.centerColumn {
	background-color: #FFF0F5;
	border: 1px dotted;
	border-color: #9B11A1;
	height: 1%;
	}

Thanks Kobra!!

That helped.

Hi all,

I am tweaking the purpleshades template, and would like to change the height of the nav bar. I have resized the background graphic to 30px and adjusted the main css document so that the hights are 30px instead of 59px (flagged important by the way), but there is clearly something else that should be changed in order that the shop doesn't disappear off to the right hand side of the screen and the nav links are centred in the new div.

Can anyone tell me what else needs adjusting?

Thanks

Iain

idcowden,

A url to your site

The PurpleShades template on http://(sorry, site offline) does not look the same as the latest version in the Zen Cart dowload section. One thing that is different is that on http://(sorry, site offline) when you list all products, the background colour changes between the products in the list.

Is it an old version or is this possible to change with some settings?

The one on the template site is the old version that is tablebased, I suspect the you have the later non table based version and this odd even effect was changed even in the new classic template.

Without actually doing this I believe that finding or adding 2 tags to the stylesheet with your desired styling will get you the odd even effect and these I think are:
.productListing-data-description-even
.productListing-data-description-odd

Thanks for the answer. This explains a lot.

HI Kobra,

The site is at https://www.bellameo.co.uk/zen

I now have an additional problem which you might be able to help with. I installed Stock by Attributes V4.4 and now the shop keeps "jumping" and sections fall out of their boxes. Any idea what I need to change?

Thanks

Iain

I do not see this?? What browser are your using?

Hi Kobra,

Have looked in internet explorer and in firefox. It is much better behaved in firefox. Scroll up and down the home page, and you'll see it start jumping. You should also see that the new products have fallen out of their box.

Thanks

Iain

Iain,

What else in the way of mods might you have installed?

no other mods installed. I tried to install a template from a commercial site but failed. It seemed to have no impact on the shop prior to installing purpleshades, and purpleshades was ok until I installed stock by attributes...

Iain

Which Stock-by-Attributes module did you install?

This should not affect the main page that I can think of
