Comstock Template

loudervisions:

Sorry im not fluent in code language.

THIS is what i want to achieve. https://www.kawiecentral.com
the green and grey bars at the top are made up of 3 images..middle, left, right..

--

So in the comstock template you have the image - silver_bar. Can we somehow add a silver_bar_left and a silver_bar_right.. this would cap the ends of the bar. I would have to make the images but thats not a problem.

Is it possible to do something like that?

If im still not making myself clear, i apologize for wasting your time..and no need for reply.. thx Clyde for the great template.

If your talking about this image - its a single image that is placed in the header

Hello...

My question is...

There is a box that I want to make a correction with. It is the "Units In Stock /Add To Cart" box that is displayed where the customer can click and add an item to his/her checkout. Where is the file located as there is a colon missing between Units In Stock and the actual number.

Thanks.

Got that issue solved.

That brings up another little problem. How do I change the size of the Comstock Logo ? I would like to replace that logo with a small banner that I have designed.

Also, how do I change the Tagline that is in the header ???

...and, finally, how do I change the links that are found in the footer of the main page???

I have most of the problems fixed now. One lsat thing is still not right. In the footer, on the far left and far right, the text is not properly centered. To see this, goto https://www.rchelicraft.com/store.

How can this be corrected. Also, I want to eliminate the Amex, Discovery and Paypal logos. How is this done ??

They are correctly aligned for the comstock template.
each of the elements is set in its own box which is positioned as shown.

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration and add the highlighted portion
#shopOptions {
display:none;
margin: 10px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(../images/options.gif) center center no-repeat;
height: 40px;
}

I don't want to remove all the graphics. I want to keep the VISA and Mastercard graphic and eliminate the Discovery, AMEX and PayPal.

I also want to add a GeoTrust and Interac online graphic in the place of the Discovery and AMEX graphic in the footer.

Since that is one graphic image, you're either going to have to edit the image to get what you want or create a new one.

Clyde..

How can I add the following code to the footer of the template ?

How can I add the following code to the footer of the template ?

find the following section of code and add your script as indicated by the highlight:

Clyde,

I'm working on customizing your template for my site and am having issues with the center header cutting off.

Site: www.sarassoapsnsuch.com

If you look at the "Monthly Specials for July," the bar is wider (using your solution on pg. 26ish of this thread), but the letters are still cut off. How do I fix that?

I'm using IE7 and the current version of ZC.

Thanks!

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration and make the highlighted change:

.centerBoxHeading {
margin: 0;
height: 32px;
background: #BEBEBE;
/background-image: url(../images/title_cap_right.gif) #BEBEBE;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top right;/
padding: 0.4em 0.2em 0 0.2em;
text-align: center;
line-height: normal;
}

Worked beautifully, thanks! OK, next question (or 2 or 3)... :laugh:

(I'm in "building Rome in a day" mode.)

1. The deep red on the template is pretty, but it clashes horribly with the hot pink of my logo and lettering. I was trying to change the red to blue by overriding the tier2_bg.gif file, but it's not overriding the original. Is there a way this can be done?

2. Can I still use my wrapped header with the Comstock template? In the Classic green, I had a graphic with a few of my products across the top. That's to what I'm referring.

3. Sideboxes (my nemesis!)... On the left-hand side, it says "Sponsors" and has the graphic for the HSMG, then on the right, the box says "Have You Seen?" with the same logo. Originally I had one box on the right-hand side with the HSMG banner and the heading "Proud Member, HSMG." I want to go back to the original sidebox style.

Thanks. :smile:

The logo shows up in the footer now. But, it covers up my store information.

Take a look....

https://www.rchelicraft.com/store

How would I add the script as a Sidebox ??

download the blank sidebox from the downloads section.

You should be able to use that contribution for your script.

Here's another quick question. I just installed the RMA module into my Comstock template. how do I change the name in the Information side box from "Returns" to "RMA Request" ???

not template specific problem

you could use admin -> tools -> developers took kit

scroll to the bottom of the page type returns into the last input box select all files admin/catalog from the drop down menu then click the search button

You will get a list of all the files and line numbers that contain that particular text.

You can then open the associated file and make the changes you want.

Clyde,

I got two of my issues straightened out, but this one seems to still be hanging me up:

The deep red on the template is pretty, but it clashes horribly with the hot pink of my logo and lettering. I was trying to change the red to blue by overriding the tier2_bg.gif file, but it's not overriding the original. Is there a way this can be done?

Also, my logo is off, dimension-wise, being more rectangular than square (the dimensions are only off by a pixel in real life). I've changed the dimensions on the graphic itself, as well as played around with the stylesheet. How can I fix that? If it were up to me, I'd scootch it way over to the left so my entire header shows, though I'm considering taking a pic out of the header, which will help with spacing.

That's enough to play with for now. I'm sure I'll have more questions later.
