Comstock Template

insanerc:

Hello Clyde,

I just copied and pasted this url right from the browser address bar on my website. I also clicked on it here and it goes straight to my website. I have another site running live right now at http://www.xtreme-rc-hobbies.net/ which is Oscommerce and not Zen Cart. I am getting this site (Zen Cart/Comstock) setup to replace that one and have it in a completely different directory with my web host.

Here it is cut and pasted directly from my website with Zen Cart and your Comstock template that I am trying to complete.

Try the fix posted here and see if that helps

Ok, as far as I can tell I have everything worked out as I want it now other than being able to center the options.gif (credit card pic) in the footer. Any ideas how I can do this. I've been trying over and over with little to no luck at all.

Thanks

open includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css and find the following:

#shopOptions {

padding: 0;

background: url('../images/options.gif') no-repeat center;

height: 35px;

width: 294px;

margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:0

}
change the highlighted portion to this:

background: url(../images/options.gif) center center no-repeat;

Anything is possible:

you can download either of the following contributions from the downloads section and incorporate them into the template.

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=523

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=479

Or contact the contribution authors and see if they'd be willing to help.

thank you, i might try to just use an image map, not sure, thank you though.

I am using Zen 1.3.8a . This is a great template, but I continue to have a problem with the FREE SHIPPING icon. It will not appear on any item that is set for free shipping. The problem seems to be that admin -> catalog -> product types -> product general -> edit layout -> Product Free Shipping Image Status - Catalog (set this to true) - that option is not showing up in admin. Obviously something is missing. Do I need another mod, or maybe to reinstall one ?? Thanks in advance for your help. Also, on some listing, only part of the image is displayed - any ideas.
Thanks.

This mod does not modify any files in the admin portion of Zen Cart

Thanks.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Can you be more specific about on which pages(listings) this is happening?

Also a URl for the site would help so I can view the problem.

The problem seems to be that [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]admin -> catalog -> product types -> product general -> edit layout -> Product Free Shipping Image Status - Catalog (set this to true) - that option is not showing up in admin.

copy and paste the following sql statement into:
admin -> tools -> install sql patches and click the send button

INSERT INTO `product_type_layout` VALUES (15, 'Product Free Shipping Image Status - Catalog', 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_ALWAYS_FREE_SHIPPING_IMAGE_SWITCH', '1', 'Show the Free Shipping image/text in the catalog?', 1, 16, '2008-01-07 09:31:54', '2007-01-08 10:25:58', NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_drop_down(array(array(''id''=>''1'', ''text''=>''Yes''), array(''id''=>''0'', ''text''=>''No'')), ');

Thanks for checking for me. The web site is at **www.bobkatgifts.net** An example of partial images can be found on several of the listing in the Betty Boop section. As for the sql fix suggested above - that produced an error code of 1062 Duplicate entry '15' for key 1 my site has worked fine for years so I am sure the problem is something simple that I have somehow missed. - let me know if you need to look at "admin" - thanks

I just checked both "betty boop" pages (in firefox and IE7) and didn't see any partial images they all looked normal.

See your PM

Hi There,

great template just what my wife needed. However we're having one small problem with the product text.

When viewing a product if you resize the left hand side of you web browser or view it on a laptop with lower res, the text appears over the right hand border.

Have a look here http://www.crystalpearl.co.uk the site is still being constructed at the moment but I've tried to sort this out but am stuck!

Any help would be great.

Kindest Regards

Hylt

Try adding the following declaration to includes/templates/comstock/css/stylesheet.css

#productDescription {
clear:left;
}

Hi Clyde,

Thanks for that, it looks and works much better now.

Glad to help.

Clyde, I really like the comstock template - would you check the footer on www.bobkatgifts.net for me. On the right side - it is cutting off part of your credits. The left side is fine - let me know what I need to fix.
Also, how do I get the text out of the Search Box.
Thanks

would you check the footer
with just a quick look, it appears that the top image is taking up more space than the footer section was originally designed for. The footer section is 95px high and the top image is 85px high. It may also be a little wide (at 700px) for the middle of the footer section.

how do I get the text out of the Search Box

add the following define statement to:
includes/languages/english/comstock/header.php
define('HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT', 'Enter search keywords here');

BTW: you might want to check on your SSL certificate.

Hi,

Re: Comstock Template: Zen Cart™ Version: v1.3.8, Version: v2.0, Last Updated: Dec 25 2007

I have a question concerning the unzip contents of your "Comstock" template package on my local system.

After unzipping the package onto my XP Pro system and uploading to my Linux server space (hosting with GoDaddy) I wanted to delete the folders / files that the zipped package created on my local system. There was one folder that refused to be deleted -- the "buttons" folder at the end of the "includes" folder chain. I was able to delete the files within the folder (mostly gif's) and all of the files in the "upstream" folders, but the "buttons" refused to be deleted.

I did note that when I would hover my mouse over the folder icon, instead of the "folder is empty" prompt I should be seeing I got a 145K prompt, which would mean there are file(s) in the folder, but there are none. Anyway, after a couple of reboots (the last into "safe mode") was able to delete the folder.

Have you ever seen this?

I am concerned that there might be something "odd" going on with the folder / file(s). I did remove the template (including the "buttons" folder) from my server space without issue, but it still has me a little worried :huh:

Thanks.

Jim

First I've heard about this issue.

I always check the files/folders and the zip package for viruses etc. before uploading them to the downloads section and they are checked by again by forum admins before being released for download.
