Border around products on home page?

Hello,

I have " New Products For January" on my home page.

I was just wondering if it is possible to have a thin border around each product on that page.

Kind regards,
Anthony

Also,

Just above the "new products" heading on the home page, is it possible to have an image instead of the welcome messages (ie. above the new products heading, but under the header logo)?

Kind regards,
Anthony

Quickest way is to use one of the following mods

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=611

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=438

You can add an image there using define_main_page option
via admin

Hello misty,

Thanks for the mod - it looks really good.

The only prob I have is that I want the text below and image above:

//--------------------------------------
$side_of_text = 0;
// 0 -> text below, image above
// 1 -> text on right, image on left
// 2 -> text on left, image on right
//--------------------------------------

I changed the number to 0 with all 3 files in the modules/Mytemplates folder (even though it I only want it for the "New products"), however the place of the text and images doesn't change (for either 0,1 or 2).

Is there something else I should be doing?

Also, this mod expands the width of my page - do I need to reduce the size of the images?

Kind regards,
Anthony

Hello Misty,

Great MOD!!

Hi Misty,

As far as your other recommendation:

Can you point me as to where the define_main_page option in admin is (and maybe also where I upload the image)?

Kind regards,
Anthony

admin/tools/define pages editor..choose define_main_page.php
add relevant html for your image there.

Hi Misty,

Thanks for that - worked like a charm.

I deleted the text in :

**/includes/languages/english/template/index.php **

at the line :define('HEADING_TITLE', '');

and also in admin > config > layout settings > Customer Greeting - Show on Index Page I set to "0"

However the image is still probably about 1 cm below the top of my highest sideboxes.

Is there a better way to remove the heading title?

The reason I ask is because I am guessing that even though I have removed the text in the heading title, it is still displaying a line (even though there is no text in that line) which is therefore taking up some space.

Kind regards,
Anthony

My crystal ball gone on strike this morning,
so without actual url of your site, can't help further
:smartalec:

Hi Misty,

Sorry about that - I'm a bit of a space cadet.

Here is my link:

Thank you for all your help so far.

Looks fine to me, but you could remove breadcrumb trail option
i.e. home
:blink:

Hi Misty,

You're a champ - it worked perfectly.

Cheers for your help.

Kind regards,
Anthony

Well done!!

Hi Misty,

Do you know if it is possible to have the line separator that separates the new products with these mods, to also do the same to the products within a category?

EXACT url where you want line seperator to appear is?

Hello Misty,

I am wanting it for each of the 4 categories on the site:

http://www.giftedallsorts.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

http://www.giftedallsorts.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2

http://www.giftedallsorts.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3

http://www.giftedallsorts.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

Kind regards,

Links fine.. thanks.. BUT NEVER ADD ZENID code ..

Suggest you visit

Your product images are squashed together... fix at above url will stop that..line under each image not required then.

Hi Misty,

Thanks for the reply.

I actually like how the line separator mod displays the products, as shown here : http://www.xmanhosting.com.au/shop/

This is how I want them displayed on each category page.

I notice that in the readme files for the 2 column divider / line divider mods that they don't support displaying the products on the categories page.

I thought there might be some way around this so that this could be done on the category pages also.

Kind regards,
Anthony

Try Column Grid Layout Mod from
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=77

Hi Misty,

Thanks for that.

I was able to install no probs. The only problem I have is that the product name puts the image out of it's center position. This can be seen here:

http://www.xmanhosting.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

Any ideas about the code?

I am using the version for zen-cart 1.37

Kind regards,
Anthony
