Comstock Template

Sara's Soaps:

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.

logo:

includes/languages/english/comstock/header.php

adjust the height and width of the logo
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '100');

create a new graphic making sure is is the same size as the original (in your choice of color) save it as tier2_bg.gif to includes/templates/comstock/images

Another problem has surfaced. I want to add another sidebox on the right side of my page. When I use the Layout Boxes Controller to add a box, it does not show up on the page. What am I missing ????

URL for your site?

What page do you want the sidebox to appear on?

(From the description for the comstock template:

It is designed to "DROP" the right column on category/product listing pages.)

You need to go to:

either
includes/languages/english.php

or
includes/languages/comstock/english.php

do a search of the file and find

includes/languages/english.php Line #504

Make any changes to the definition statement that are necessary.

Clyde,

More stylesheet help, please. Nothing's changed as far as ZC version or my IE version. I haven't test-ran this with FF, yet. I should; it's just that my desktop loads a lot slower than my laptop.

OK, first, check out this page: http://www.sarassoapsnsuch.com//index.php?main_page=index&cPath=69. You'll notice my blurb in pink, then the links to "100% Natural Soaps" and "Almost All Natural Soaps," but the letters are cut off. How do I widen that box to correct that?

Next... On that same page, you'll see that the writing is sort of squished together. I'd like more white space amongst the pink writing. How do I get that? (Please include the path I need.)

Same deal here: http://www.sarassoapsnsuch.com//index.php?main_page=index&cPath=69_71.

By the way, I LOVE the Mystic River template, as well as the Ocean Front. However, if I changed now, I think Donal would make the trans-Atlantic flight just to kick my hiney. :laugh:

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

add the following declarations at the bottom of the stylesheet.

#categoryDescription {
line-height: normal;
}
.categoryListBoxContents a {
line-height:normal;
}

#indexProductListCatDescription {
line-height:normal;
}
.productListing-data {
line-height:normal;
}

Clyde, thank you for the excellent template. I am a total noob and i am having trouble location a particular piece of code. I am using the webtools on firefox and i can get it to tell me that this is what i am looking for:
< h1 id="indexDefaultHeading">Welcome to Heatwavesales</h1 >
But i do not see it in my stylesheet anywhere.
Thanks!

What is it you want to do?

I just want to remove it, or put something else in its place. I was planning on using that section in the define main page section.

open includes/languages/english/comstock/index.php

find the following section of code

Change this

  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to ' .STORE_NAME); /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: Welcome to My SHOP!*/
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
  // this will also be used on Top Level
  define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Welcome to ' .STORE_NAME); /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: Welcome to My SHOP!*/

to this

  define('HEADING_TITLE', ''); /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: Welcome to My SHOP!*/
} elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') {
  // this will also be used on Top Level
  define('HEADING_TITLE', ''); /*Replace this line with the headline you would like for your shop. For example: Welcome to My SHOP!*/

I will give that a try. Thanks so much!

My site is RCHelicraft.com/store

What sidebox do you want to install?

clydejones:

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

add the following declarations at the bottom of the stylesheet.

#categoryDescription {
line-height: normal;
}
.categoryListBoxContents a {
line-height:normal;
}

#indexProductListCatDescription {
line-height:normal;
}
.productListing-data {
line-height:normal;
}

OK, those worked great! As I navigated around my site, I noticed that some of my product descriptions are cut off at the bottom. First, look here, for example, in the box entitled "Monthly Specials for July": http://www.sarassoapsnsuch.com//index.php?main_page=index&cPath=69. Then click any product shown; the "g"s are cut off in "shipping" and "larger image" (under the graphic). It's like that for every product. I know it's a stylesheet thing, but is there a declaration that'll apply to every product?

Next question: I seem to have lost my Google Analytics tracking with the template installation. One, where would I find it (can't remember the original path) and two, where would I install it under the Comstock template?

Thanks!

I want to add the Manufacturer's sidebox to show a list of all the manufacturers I am dealing with.

Fiond the following declarations in the stylesheet and add the following to each: line-height:normal;

#productMainImage
#categoryDescription
.categoryListBoxContents

As for google analytics, I haven't used it but I would assume it should be placed somewhere in tpl_footer.php. Look at the installation instructions for the mod to be sure.

admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller -> sideboxes/manufacturers.php (turn it on, set it to right, and give it a sort order.
