Comstock Template

BrianWI:

Clyde...

Stock by Attributes

Will this interfere with anything your template has? README file below:

Shouldn't affect anything in the template.

unfortunately it messes many things up. I removed it.

Clyde,

You seem to be the guy that knows his stuff. Would you look at adding a line when someone tries to order more tan available? Right not it puts a red *** behind the item name. I would think it would be easy enough (except for someone php disabled like me) to make it" *** Only 10 left in stock" in the cart behind the item names.

I see in zen_check_stock function in functions_lookups.php they already grab that data, would just need to save it in a variable. I played a bit and can get the number. However, I don't know how or where to return it to for display.

Way off topic for this thread.

OK, just thought it may be something you coul dhelp with. I'll try and find a better topic.

If you look at the Best Sellers box, it has a blank space after the first line. Any help?

Hi you would be better posting in the add on templates forum Clyde is sadly no longer with us

What happened to him?

BrianWI:

What happened to him?
he died suddenly:cry:

Is that true that Clyde passed away? He was so nice. If this is true he will be sadly missed by all of us. I was just coming here to ask if the template would be updated for the new version of Zen Cart 1.5?

I see that it is true:

I'm not to bad I alerted the comstock template on my local server and saved it as a separate template, now I just have to upgrade from 1.5RC2 to 1.5 final and upload the template just waiting for a few add ons to be upgraded to 1.5 then I'll go live. Clydes is one of the easiest to play about with http://www.rvsolarsystems.co.uk/ getting there though

Hi all....

I have ver. 1.5 of zen cart now and comstock template. I have some issues with the stuff lining up home, login/register, contact us, my account etc...in firefox, and looks like the pictures in ie 8 is kinda fuzzy until i bring up the full picture. any help would be greatly appreciated. the site is https://www.patchesrus.net any input on speed etc... will be helpful

thank you Clyde Jones :clap:

1. the pictures are fuzzy because the browser is being forced to resize them from the large version, and each browser uses a different way of doing it. I would recommend looking at some sort of image handling add on for that, although I think most are still beng worked on for the 1.5 release. To make it a bit clearer this

   is th image your browser is downloading to make a thumbnail, normally you would have different sized images following zencarts guidelines or using an add-on so you would actually have a thumbnail sized image for the browser to download for a page that uses a thumbnail and bigger ones for where they are required, obviously if its downloading smaller images it will be faster

2. As to any alignment issues could you be more specific as i don't see a great deal of difference between IE and firefox with the exception of the tagline

Well As i was looking last night i seen that it was in my Imac Firefox on the PC it did look OK ( I am still very new at this trying to learn) I will do some more reading on the images.

thank you for a fast reply

Okay....One more issue I have found was that in my listing Most I have 1 picture for ( a patch lets say) but some of the listings are showing 2-3 different pictures along with the right one. is there a way to correct this? here is the page

That link is giving me product not found

But, anyway the main reason for what you are describing is down to the way zencart handles images, in your case additional images are probably the problem.

there are two solutions,

1. look at the way you name images OR
2. Turn off additional images (if you don't intent to have more than one image this is the quickest option)

Here are the relevant tutorials

Why extra images are showing up

Additional images

the Additional info section describes your problem

My view with regards to image size is that its best to put the large image in (what you have been doing) and let a mod take care of the resizing for you, makes it idiot proof and easy to change things, if you want to for instance increase the size of your thumbnails one day its a 10 sec job rather than having to manually resize hundreds of images.
