Silverfish Template - zc137 - Bluish/Silver Professional

wtashby:

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?

Admin->configuration->Layout Settings:
Column Width - Left
Column Width - Right

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.

The dark border is in the /silverfish/common/tpl_main_page.php file on line 72:

Great! I got the left column bacground to behave, and I got the table border back. Now the only problem I have left is that in IE, the blue background does not show up at the bottom of the page (under or in the footer) like it does in firefox. There just seems to be so much difference between the two browsers. Isn't there a way to get them to play nice?

Hey qhome,

Is this template compatible with 1.38a yet or any idea if and when it will be, just curious?

Thanks,

I am testing it now and seems to work ok so far.

I would like to leave the very top, horizontal band of the search header active, but remove the actual text entry search box and button, resulting in just a plain, horizontal band.

This is just for aesthetics; my site just looks better with the top band. I have already included a search function in a sidebox, so I don't need it at the top, too.

Thanks,

Assuming that I coded it correctly (:p can't remember)
In the admin->tools->layout boxes controller under
sideboxes/search_header.php -- set that to off for both left/right and single column status... Tho that might remove the whole band.

So you will have to edit the templates/common/tpl_header.php file and find the search stuff and comment it out.

Ok, thanks QHome. That's what I figured, I just didn't know what file or where. I should be able to take a copy of the tpl_header.php file, edit it, and put it in the Silverfish template, right?

Awesome template by the way! I've customized it quite a bit to give it my own look and feel, but maintained the basic color scheme. Right now, I'm just fighting IE6 issues (what's up with .png transparencies, anyway), but am getting real close to getting it to where I want it before adding SSL and product.

Thanks for all your work and support!

Good to hear! ya IE6 issues get annoying fast.. i am just glad they fixed most of them in IE7... so we should hopefully not have to worry about IE6 in the near future

You were correct in the previous post that using the admin panel turned off the bar completely.

Anyway... I've tried multiple variations of commenting out the only part of silverfish/common/tpl_header.php that refers to the searchbox, with no luck. It either totally removes the top horizontal bar altogether (is that called the 'header wrapper?'), or it breaks the page so the site doesn't load at all (only the background image).

The closest I came was getting the bar to remain, but double brackets (<>) were right-justified and visible where the search box had been. (Also, the bar was much narrower, presumably because the keyword text entry box was not present to push the height, but that is of no consequence).

The tpl_header.php code that seems to govern this is:

What in the world needs to be removed to get the bar without the search box and button?

Thanks again.

I've got my site pretty much ready to go, except for a few last aesthetic changes I'd like to make, so I'll probably have several posts here over the next few days or so. Please bear with me...

I've seen a few posts on this, but none of them seem to really address what I was trying to do.

Basically, I would like to:

• Right-justify the links in the header nav bar
• Remove the HOME link, as it is already in my footer
• Add LOGOFF, MY ACCOUNT, and VIEW CART links
• Change the "::" separator to a pipe symbol
• Change link font size

Right now, my header nav looks like this:

Even though I've set the separator value to a pipe in the admin panel, nothing seems to modify it. The separator in the footer works just fine when changed:

Also, all the above footer links were easily manipulated via EZ-Pages, but I don't seem to have this control in the header, or know how to add the cart and logoff links.

Thanks in advance for any help any of you can offer.

PS. For any of you who have purchased the book, are changes of this type covered, or is this more template-specific? If the book could point me to the right areas for more difficult tasks, it would be worth gold.

I would suggest using FireFox's Web Developer Extension to help find the exact CSS section that control each of those things you want and then simply change it on the fly to try it. makes life much easier.

I am using zencart 1.3.8 on my testing site. I'm trying to set up the silverfish template, but the background image doesn't show up. Why would this be happening?

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to zen-cart. I've just downloaded silverfish template. How do I change the tagline on the header? Please advise. Thanks in advance :)

the same way you change it on every template. In the includes/languages/engllish/header.php
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here'); :smile:

Is Silverfish compatible with 1.3.8a? I can only find a 1.3.7 version of SF.

Nevermind, I tried it and it works fine. Faster doing it the testing way anyway. :laugh:

Tradition:

Is Silverfish compatible with 1.3.8a? I can only find a 1.3.7 version of SF.Most templates didn't need updating for 1.3.8. Only if the fairly extensive changes had been made to the template files were they likely to be affected. Silverfish was completely untouched by the 1.3.8 changes.

Hi All!
I am using the silverfish template but have somehow got the catagories all squished together instead of seperated on a new line each. My catagories look like this-
soap (10) dark soap (14) wedding soap (21)
......when it should look like this-
soap(10)
dark soap (14)
wedding soap (21)
.....................anybody know how and where I change it? :unsure:
I am new to css and zen cart so be gentle please! :smile:

Admin->Configuration->Layout Settings->Column Width - Left: 180+

Thanks for replying!
I tried that. it increases the width just fine, but the catagories stay the same, no change.
Any other ideas?
