I'm not seeing any images in Firefox... did you empty your cache?

Hi. and thank you for your help,
are you sure that the "Cart Summary Sidebox" will work on my ZenCart 1.3.7
on the description it says "Work with 1.3.0 - 1.3.6"

Thanks again.
Tal.

No I rather unorthodoxly replaced the image with a 1px transparant .gif.:lookaroun

Right now my problem is that when I list more than 1 product per category eveything disappears except this: "Displaying 1 to 2 (of 2 products)" I know I've changed something to let this happen but I'm damned if I can remember what.

If you go to "configuration" "product listing" do you have ONLY the images turned on? try turning on a product name as well.

Hi, OK after hours of meddling I'm stuck on the following: I would like to replace the "Tell a friend about us" button with my own button linking it to an existing page.
Thanks in advance:smile:
Gordon!

Have you found the tell a friend section? (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php)
You could just replace all the code in that section with your own button and link. I'm assuming you want these links to do the same thing on every product. So, just hard code it, like this:

<a href="link_here.htm" ><img src="image_here.jpg" alt="alt text here" width="100" height="20 /></a>

Thanks you're too kind...I was trying to exactly as you suggested but to no avail!

Can you help me with this:

When I have only one product in a category it displays exactly as I need it to, but when there are 2 or more products in one category the text becomes centred and the "apply now" button is gone. I was wondering if there is a way around this.

Ta,
Gordon

Thank you! Worked great.

There is an issue with your apply now button, you have your local file address there, and you didn't close the link you should have this:
<a href="http://www.actorxfactor.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page&id=2&chapter=100"><img src="includes/templates/apple_zen/buttons/english/apply_now.gif" alt="apply" productdateadded="" class="docGeneral centeredContent" height="21" width="125"></a><br />

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I just see the icon and the name are justified to the left, and there's nothing to the right of it because nothing belongs there. What would you like there to the right of the icon? It looks perfectly normal to me. Or perhaps you're speaking of something else, and it is browser specific. What browser are you using, and could you explain the issue and what you'd like instead a little more.

Thanks!

Yes, thats it. I don't particularly like the gap to the right of the icon where nothing actually belongs there. Can I put a rotating banner or something to the right and if so which template or code should I use.

Thanks

:D

Ok, it will take some doing, but here's the process:

Open up inlcudes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php

You will cut this code out (to be pasted in another file shortly):

            <?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
            <div id="bannerThree" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
            <?php
    }
  }
?>

Then open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php, and paste the above code right after this:

<h1 id="productListHeading"><?php echo $breadcrumb->last(); ?></h1>

Also open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php, and paste the same code right after this:

<h1 id="indexCategoriesHeading"><?php echo $breadcrumb->last(); ?></h1>

Then, add this to your css:

#bannerThree {float:right;}

Then you go to "Tools" "Banner Manager", and add the banner that you want.

Then go to "Configuration", "Layout Settings", and turn on the Banner 3 section by entering the group the banner you added is in. (if you added it to "BannersAll", you enter "BannersAll" in "Banner Display Groups - Header Position 3"

Hope that helps!

FAB thanks a lot!!

But I still have the issue when there is one product per catagory it looks like this:
http://www.actorxfactor.co.uk/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&cPath=9&products_id=24

which is great

but when there are two or more products in a category it looks like this:
http://www.actorxfactor.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8

Which isn't.

is there a way to list muliple products like the first example

Thanks,
Gordon.

No. When there is only one product in a category, it goes directly to that one product. There is a setting to change that in the admin, so that the one product shows like it does when there is more than one product, but there isn't a way to do it the other way around.

Shame:yuck:

Really appreciate your help and guidance on this. I will attempt it tomorrow and see how I get on. Many thanks. Will let you know how it shapes up.

Just remove the code for it. Open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_header.php and remove this chunk:

        <!--bof-drop down menu display-->
      <?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_drop_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_drop_menu.php');?>
        <!--eof-drop down menu display-->

When I set the customer authorization to 1 in the admin forcing customers to login before viewing any products, the categories still show in the drop down menu.

Is it possible for the menu not to show the category listing if customers are not logged in?

To see what I mean please check out: store2.salvationarmy.ca
