Silverfish Template - zc137 - Bluish/Silver Professional

Hey all,

I found a little type o in the css on line 248. This is ver. 1.1b of Silverfish

It was this:

#headerBackground {width: 100%; height: 85px; align: center; background: url(../images/bg_header.jg) repeat-x #88a0c2;}

should be this:

#headerBackground {width: 100%; height: 85px; align: center; background: url(../images/bg_header.jpg) repeat-x #88a0c2;}

Header background correction.

:lamo::oops::frusty: Guess I've been staring at this screen too long. It's already been posted. Sorry for the stupid ##@!!@!@# mistake.

Time for a beer!

OK, with the chance of completely looking like a....never mind. Where do you replace the text in the header. (HEADER_SALES_TEXT) I've gone into the tpl_header.php and tried changing it there, since it's the only place I can find it within the Silverfish template, but it errors out with a Parse error; expecting "'", ";" or something to that effect. Please help this lost soul.....

Nice template design!

I have just one small problem.

The logo is pushing the header background to the right rather than going on top of it.

Test site is here http://www.catplaques.com/catalog

Probably quite simple but I don't know enough to find it.

Thanks,

Great template, but I'm having an issue with the left column, every so often when I click on one of the catorgorys (the horizontal ones under the header) from the homepage the left column jumps to almost full screen width.

Strangeness:

Normal:

URL: http://www.4wdaccessories.co.nz/

It happens most frequently in Firefox V2.0.0.9 but occasionally happens in IE 6 too

I've read through this entire thread, played with the width settings for the boxes and column, and checked for any strangness in the html generated. Have found nothing so far..

Anyone got any ideas?

TIA,

Bill

How do you remove the 1 pixel border sorrounding the content area and categories menu?

It's like a table

This is the border

Sorry, this is the 1 pixel border to be removed. It sorrounds the centre box and left column, between the header and footer.

Hallo all

I still have the same problem I do not see bg_header.jpg with IE6 :blink:

I tried to change the file but nothing
I tried to verify css tag headerBackground is the same as that written in the post but nothing
What else can I do

Thank you for help

I was hoping someone could tell me how I can change the red category font color to another color than the default red. What files do I need to edit?

Thanks

Hi,

Love the template!

Quick question. Are there any issues with 1.3.8 that we need to be aware of?

This will be the first update for us and we've tried to be dilgent about using the templating system.

Thanks,

Geo

Go to where your template is installed, e.g.

/public_html/includes/templates/silverfish/

Select the CSS folder, which is

/public_html/includes/templates/silverfish/css

Then edit; stylesheet.css

If you have a control panel that allows you to edit the file, then you can open, edit and then save, otherwise, use FTP to download, edit, save and then re-upload to the same location.

If you are using e.g. cpanel;
click on the name "stylesheet.css" then on the right hand side, you will see the name of the file at the top in bold letters and a list of options below.

Select "Edit File"

Then search for the following in the file;

/*
sidebox links
*/
A.category-top

You can search for "A.category-top" using the search function on your browser, to "Find on this page". It's easier that way.

Then when you find this,

color: #FF0000 !important; edit to whatever color you want your font to be. (note that the color may be different from the one above "FF0000", but the "color:" option under "a.category-top" is the most important thing to look out for.

I hope you are familiar with CSS. Also edit whatever else you want to change under a.category.top. within the { } - curly brackets.

Other areas you will see are;

A.category-top:hover - for category hover styling

A.category-subs - for styling subcategories that appear in menu

A.category-products - for styling products

and so on.

Try out styling bit by bit if you are not familiar with CSS, then save, and check out the effect on the site.

My advice is that you save the original CSS file before styling anything, incase you make mistakes that you cannot reverse. Right click and "select all", then copy and paste everything into Wordpad (not Word, so as to avoid funny formatting tags being added in)
Save the file on your PC, and then go ahead to edit the CSS, making a note of changes you make so that you can easily reverse anything that you don't like.

SilverFish looks great on www.stuff4toys.com, thanks for the great template.

One quick question: Is there a way to make the Banner Header Position 3 - Only show in the home page?

I loaded a banner image in that position and is shows up on every page. Listing, product page, all prodects, every where.

I only want to see it on the home page.

THANKS for all your hard work!

Really Nice looking template, but I can't get it to behave.

It's way too wide for me, and I can't for the life of me figure it out. This is the url for my test site

What can I do so it doesn't scroll to the right?

Thanks,

Tom

It's way too wide for me, and I can't for the life of me figure it out.Have you tried reducing the value highlighted in red below, taken from your stylesheet?
#mainWrapper {background-color: #ffffff; text-align: left; width: 1000px; vertical-align: top; border: 1px solid #9a9a9a; margin: auto;}

Actually, I thought I had. I changed it, ftp'd it, and nothing. I tried several changes, and then I discovered that my ftp program had NOT been uploading my changes, so I'd been working with the original css the whole time.:oops:

So, I switched ftp programs, changed the #mainWrapper to 99%, and now it's perfect. I wouldn't have realized it if you hadn't responded with your suggestion, which was the first thing I had tried to begin with.

My whole point is, thank you for your reply, and for helping me to see the obvious.:clap:

I can't get the stuff in my header to line up right.
http://www.felinesandk9s.com/test-site/

I haven't changed the logo yet cause I'm still working on my new one,(which will be the same size as the current zen logo there) but, I want it to be directly to the left of and aligned exactly with the flash, and I want the tagline to be centered directly above the logo and flash.

How can I accomplish this? I've tried tweeking the css and tpl_header.php, but obviously dont know what I'm doing.

Thanks in advance.

There are to many posts in this thread to search for a variation of this question:

In IE, the New Products and All Products links in the Category sidebox seems to be causing an error. Not sure how to explain it :frusty:, but, if you click my sig at the bottom and navigate to my site in IE, you might see what I mean. The background for the left column is way too wide.

I dont see links for All/New Products but I just forced the URL to see. Looks fine for me in IE. The only time I saw a problem on the left side was when u had subcategories opened that went wider than the left column width, it would make the bg wider. but that is to be expected as you didn't make the left column wide enough for your widest text.

Also I would recommend removing the |_ characters for sub menus, as the template comes with its own category bullets. that will help a little but still I think you need to make it a bit wider to completely encase your longest text.

I removed the "|" from the sub cats, and it did help; a little. Now, how can i widen the column a little so it will encase the widest text, but not make the site lopsided. Should I also widen the right columns the same amount?

Oh, and one more question. Please look at my test site here:
http://www.felinesandk9s.com/test-site/

Notice the nice dark 1px boarder around everything? I've done something on my live site (sig below) that either removed that boarder or disabled it, and can't for the life of me find it or figure out what I did.
