New to Zen..need some help please

I would like to know what files to edit to change a few things

1- I put in some code I found in the forums here to add space between my images and now I have these green line,where do I edit them out?

http://www.the3dzone.com/Store/index.php?main_page=products_all

http://www.the3dzone.com/Store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3_6

2- for the same sections as above I would like to place the price and add to cart buttons below the images and have 2 products listed on each row,what do I edit to accomplish this?

3- I would also like to change the color of the boxes,categories,search,shopping cart,new products etc. what file would I edit to change those?

  1. Find this in your stylesheet, and edit or remove the line in red:

/* space & border between listing items */

.productListing-odd td, .productListing-even td {
vertical-align: top;
padding: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 1em;
border-bottom: 10px double #aaccbb;
}

  1. Dr Byte's Column Layout Grid contribution in the Downloads/Other Modules
    for columnar layout:
    http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=77

You would position where you want the price and add to cart in Admin/Configuration/All listing, New Listing, and Featured Listing. The instructions are pretty self explanatory there.

  1. Also in your stylesheet. The tile_back.gif (in blue below) is what's showing. You could make a new tile_back.gif in your color, same dimensions, and named the same. Or you could remove that line and just use the background color for the color of your sidebox headings (in red below).

.leftBoxHeading, .centerBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
margin: 0em;
background-color: #abbbd3;

background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);

padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
}

Hope this helps!

Re: New to Zen..need some help please

thank you so much for the quick response,I have found these forums so very useful :smile:

I'm not sure if I explained the last question I had correctly,
I want the table header to be the orange tile image that it is now,and the white area of the box to be orange ,this way it will match my main site a little better.

Re: New to Zen..need some help please

ok,I used the mod,but it did not change the "product's all" listing,only gave me options for the product listing like in each category .

in Admin -> Configuration -> Product Listing,it gave me an option of rows or columns,but those options don't show up in products all listing,is that right or did I miss something?

Re: New to Zen..need some help please

Looks like you found where to change the sidebox background colors.

Looks like the column layout grid contribution puts the category's products
in columns/grid.

If there's a trick to trigger for all listing, I haven't found it. Can anyone else
help with this?

Sorry if I steered you wrong on the contribution. :wacko:

Just an FYI, nice site but the image sizes need to be reduced for faster load times. You have most over 100k like the header. Your page weighs in at a little under a meg to load.
