Comstock Template

maxtech:

Thanks clydejones,

The site is at staciesgiftshop.com I want the same background to appear in the headder also, but can't find where to change it in the stylesheet.css file.

Thanks.

change this declaration:

#topWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
}

Clyde,

That didn't work. or I inserted something wrong.

This is what I inserted:

#topWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
background-image:
url('basketweave1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat

}

This is what I am trying to do:

ok, fixed part of it, in:

#headerWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background-image:
url('basketweave1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat
}

Now I just need to add the background above the home/login buttons and to the left of the account/cart/contact nav buttons.

Thanks

finally got it. Thanks!

#navAccountWrapper {
margin: auto;
background-image:
url('basketweave1.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
height: 26px;
width: 907px;

Hi.

Thanks for a great templet to start with. =)

I have a problem.. my right row of sideboxes disappares everytime I click on a catergory..
In every other page that does not involve clicking on products all boxes on both sides visible. (as in login, cart, contact and so on)

Normal in other template. I'm sorry, but do not av an address for it yet.

From the description in the downloads section:

This template modifies tpl_main_page.php, tpl_header.php and tpl_footer.php to achieve its look. It is designed to "DROP" the right colomn on category/product listing pages.

DOH! That is what happens if you don't read properly... :blush:
can I un-do it, or is that too much of a problem to do? (thing is I really, really like the rest of the template and no other comes even close to your's in terms of what I'm looking for...)

Yes,

open includes/templates/comstock/common/tpl_main_page.php

find the following section of code:

 if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'specials,products_new,featured_products,products_all')) ) {
    $flag_disable_right = true;
  }

 if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath > '0' ) {
 $flag_disable_right = true;
 }

and comment it out as indicated by the highlighted portions

 // if (in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'specials,products_new,featured_products,products_all')) ) {
//    $flag_disable_right = true;
//  }

// if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath > '0' ) {
// $flag_disable_right = true;
// }

This template looks great when viewed with Fire Fox, but when it is viewed with IE gets a little glitch. I think it's similar to what Boggled was describing in post #92.

I find the border around the center content isn't stable. It changes size when I scroll or pass the mouse over a link etc. Sometimes it covers most of the content, or the forms have a grey background.

This seems to be IE specific, any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks
Rob

I've checked it with FF, IE7, Opera and Netscape and can't duplicate this.

I don't have IE6 so I am unable to check it with that browser.

IE 7 is what I'm using. Check out the log in page at Excalibur and scroll up and down near the bottom. The grey shading at the bottom changes width. How would I remove the grey border if I'm unable to make it stable?

Try the following and see if it helps:

open tpl_login_default.php

at around line 99 - 100 find the following:

add the highlighted portion as shown.

Thanks, that seems to have stabilized that page. I assume I do something similar to all the other templates such as the product info template, or is there something I can do more globally?

Globaly, no. You'll have to adjust individual pages as necessary.

LOL it looks like I'm off to Chapters to get the "PHP For Dummys" book.

Check out this demo site in IE. When you pass your mouse over a link the words "Welcome, please sign in" disappear. It also does this on my site. I've tried the default template with no change. Any Ideas? I really like the look of this template, and hope the "bugs" can be work out.

I'll see what I can do

Open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declaration

#centerOuterBorder {
margin: 10px auto; /gives spacing at top and bottom/
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px; /spacing between this and the mainWrapper/
background: #EFEEEE;
height:1%;
}
Add the highlighted portion see if that helps

No change. Strange, it seems to try to be visible as you scroll up and down.
