Acadame - Another Professional Template

lhhgbh:

Howdy test user.. Been a few weeks since I have been here and see the thread is staying busy.. Your template is great and everyone should give it a try. Anyhow my question of the month is: Is there a way I can make my main banner 3 change automatically? As you know my site is flag shirts. I dont want it to be like an animated gif where it changes constantly while its open. just that it alternates each time the page is refreshed or visited.. Didnt know if that was a do-able option. Thanks!

Create multiple banners for that area and set them up via the banner manager the same we we set that one up. It's not perfect, meaning you may see the same banner a few times upon refresh, but the chances of this happening decrease with every banner added.

I hope that's what ya needed!

will make some up and see how it works out.. Thanks for the help!

Quick and easy way, would be to change "Search:" ... change the text to an image tag.

There are a few more advanced ways if you run into styling issues ... images inline with input's can be a pain sometimes.

i have tried that and other ways as well but it breaks everytime i add anything to it.

K ... post a copy of your tpl_header.php file, give me 5 I'll get it back to you with revisions and an explanation of what was changed ... Cool? :lookaroun

here these are returned to the way the were when i started playing with it. also because i am limited on my knowledge of coding i have just kept most of the css the same

Change tpl_search_header.php to read as:

 $content = "";
  $content .= '<div id="lang_header" class="topBox centeredContent"><div id="searchimage">Search:</div><div id="searchinput">';
  $content .= zen_draw_form('quick_find_header', zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
  $content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT);
  $content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description', '1') . zen_hide_session_id();

  if (strtolower(IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS) == 'yes') {
    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' ' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SEARCH,HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON);
  } else {
    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' <input type="submit" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON . '" style="width: 45px" />';
  }

  $content .= "</form>";
  $content .= '</div></div>';

Then add this to your stylesheet:

#searchimage,#searchinput{float:left}

If you want to be able to adjust each area independently, you'll need to modify the above line to:

#searchimage{float:left};
#searchinput{float:left};

Adjust padding as necessary ...

thanks for that, will have to pad it right, but one more question i want to dress it up by adding a search button to it so i can get rid of the word search what would i need to change.

I thought Search: was being replaced with an image, now it's being removed totally? :frusty:

How do you want your button to appear? Do you have a sample? You can make use of the CSS buttons feature without enabling it globally by removing the check for that variable in tpl_search_header.php change:

 if (strtolower(IMAGE_USE_CSS_BUTTONS) == 'yes') {
    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' ' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SEARCH,HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON);
  } else {
    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' <input type="submit" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON . '" style="width: 45px" />';
  }

to:

    $content .= zen_draw_input_field('keyword', '', 'size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '" onfocus="if (this.value == \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\') this.value = \'\';" onblur="if (this.value == \'\') this.value = \'' . HEADER_SEARCH_DEFAULT_TEXT . '\';"') . ' ' . zen_image_submit (BUTTON_IMAGE_SEARCH,HEADER_SEARCH_BUTTON);

Inputs, again once you start trying to style them with CSS, displays in browsers start to become different. If your worried about browser cross-compatibility best to leave that alone and utilize the CSS buttons within Zen. I showed you how to do this for this specific button above.

Then open stylesheet_css_buttons.css and style accordingly ...

nevermind i read the code better thanks that was it, maybe you can kind of give me a pointer. I am trying to think of other things i can do to set this off any ideas color changes etc. you might do. any pointers would be great

Looks like your on a pretty good track, next I'd get some products entered, and start formatting your products ...

Keep professional product images, you've already added the Image Handler that's a good start ... now you need good product images that give your products a good image.

Make sure to modify the defaults in define pages editor ... there's a few things there that could deter potential customers..

another newbie here.....

for your template(admitted its very very outstanding), I have modified a bit and

wondering how do I add the search link onto the top red bar along with other link(may be with position controlled)?

I have try looking into and followed your previous posts on editing stylesheet / header.php and / tpl_header_search.php etc , didnt get any lucks.

Also how do I increase the size of the fonts? I have bad eyesight:wink:
