Designer Monthly Boxes

jvoce:

I really like the mod that you've provided here.

I do have one question. How do I go about enlarging the image sizes?

I had my images size field set to 192width, and 150 height, for featured items. Where could I change the image size for this mod?

I'll keep looking myself, but if you know, please advise.

Thanks,

Jaret

Hmm Thats a good question. I tried changing all my image dimensions too and none of them took effect on those tables. Odd thing is, they always stayed 100x80.. none of my setting say 100x80 since I've changed them.. and I didnt touch any of those params nor is there any hard coding in my files.

Doesn't even appear to work with the default zc setup.. Bug in the ZC code maybe or we are just changing the wrong values.

The center boxes use the small image settings if I remember correctly.

Ya I kinda thought that too.. still I changed them to 500x500 and checked the source on the page.. image is still 100x80

Historically I've been able to change the centre box pics through Admin -> Configuration -> Images.

All I changed were the sizes for "Image - Feature Product Width" and "Image - Featured Products Height" That would change the corresponding image sizes within the Featured Box.

Unfortunately with this mod that doesn't work and I haven't been able to find a way to change the image size yet. I'm still looking through the files to see if I can spot anything.

Hi,

Good job qhome....

The only problem I have with it is that I use to have the "sold out" button show up when items were out of stock (ref: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27999 ) and now it shows a blank space I tried the life of me to add it back in but keep getting errors...any help would be appreciated...

Ah ok. i was gonna add that too but I thought that zen-cart wouldn't put an out of stock image into the centerbox like that.. Ill add it to the list.

@jvoce
Can you back out the contrib and see if the resizing works for you in 1.3.0.x? It doesn't seem to work for me using the original code with 1.3.7 so I'm not sure if it is related to my contrib or not.

I'm currently running 1.3.6 and I've been able to resize the centre images before I've plugged the mod in. I haven't had time yet to try more this afternoon, as I've been rudely interupted by customers continually.:schmoll: But I guess that's a good thing right?

hmm just adds to my confusion :P

qhome:

I'm not sure this works with 1.3.0.1. There were some changes to these files in 1.3.6, and this contrib has only been tested with 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 by me. Try upgrading Zen-Cart to the latest version.

For best practice, you should always use the zencart override system by using the name of the template you are using by renaming the "YOUR_TEMPLATE" folder to yours.. in this case.. classic.

tested on version 1.3.0.1 and there were no issues arose...:laugh:

:yes: I just notice that... it would be nice to put the out of stock image into the centerbox !!! thanx Q...

HI,

This is a great mod. Is it possible to use this for the product listing as well? That would be great!

Thanks for a great mod!

Kelly

What exactly would you like the product listing to look like? This contrib was done to get dotted lines between the cubes on the center boxes converting divs into tables.. but the product listing is already a table.. are you saying you want dotted liens between products?

(nice site design btw :D)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and the compliment. Using your css I was able to add the lines one way but not the other. Doing it with the css with just the dotted border looked awful. I would like to add some padding as well. The description is right against the line.

Thanks again,

I have tried doing this through the control panel with no sucess.

I hadn't added it as an admin option.
I just put control inside each of the modules files:

includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/new_products.php
includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/featured_products.php
includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/specials_index.php

change $ShowBuyButton = 1
to 0

Hmm it shouldn't. Got a link ?

Thank you so much for this wonderful contribution! I just got done installing on Zen version 1.3.7 and everything works without a hitch.

By the way, in the tpl_columnar_monthly_dispaly.php file (Designer Boxes v0.2) you still have the image urls leading to your own site, like this:

background-image: url('http://demo.cs-cart.com/skins/aquarelle_red/customer
/images/products_delim_v.gif')

Wasn't sure if you meant to do that or not, but I did change mine to lead to my own images directory in order to save you bandwidth :smile:

Hello there Qhome,

Great mod, really like. I wondered how to sort a little niggle I am having. The featured products show up for every category, regardless. Whereas they were displaying for the relevant category that was active.

I don't know if I knocked a setting, or maybe if I have missed somthing, so sorry in advance if this is the case.

Thanks,
