Ocean Front Template Support Thread

clydejones:

When I first check the site I didn't notice anything unusual.

Were you using the out of the box sidebox without the merge attempt?

Yes, I think so. Does the template come with shopping cart sidebox that has the checkout button on it? I could download the template and replace the shopping cart sidebox file and see what happens...

Looks the same...

As an aside, I have added your great footer mod to this site and didn't know if you knew that the css for the footer messes up the tabs for some of your templates. I am sharing the css I am using for the footer that takes care of that issue and also centers the footer for the Ocean Front Template in case it might be useful to others :)

footer {clear:both;margin:0;}
#navSuppWrapper {
    margin: 10px 95px 0;
    padding: 0;
    background:none;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #000;
    }    
dl {margin: 0 0 3px 0;padding:0;clear:both;height:79px;width:100%;}/*Adjust the height and width of the menu*/
dt {margin-bottom:.3em;font-weight:bold;}
dd {margin:0;padding:0;float:left;width:24.3%;}/*Column width of the menu - currently set for 4 columns*/
ul {margin:0;padding:0;list-style: none;}
li {margin:0;padding:0;}
li a {margin:0;padding-left:2em;}

.menuTitle {margin:0;padding-bottom:.3em;padding-left:.7em;text-align:left;font-size:1.1em;}
.first, .second, .third {border-right:1px dotted #000;}
#siteinfoLegal {
   margin:0 auto;
    padding: .5em 0 0;
    font-size: 0.9em;
    text-align:center;
    width:100%;
    line-height:normal;
    clear:both;
}
#siteinfoLegal a {padding: 0 0.5em 0 0.5em;color: #000;font-weight:bold;white-space: nowrap; }
#siteinfoLegal a:hover {color: #000;background: #EAC27C;}

Can we just remove the checkout button for when the cart is empty? I would be just fine with that...

Not sure if that's possible.

I just sent you a PM

Clyde, I've been sprucing up my site, take a look : https://www.babygiftbasketstores.com Still LOVING this template :)

This may be a duh kind of question since the description of the template says it's fixed width. Is is possible to make it a bit wider and if so, which lines in the css do I tinker with? I've been trying to make it wider, but it doesn't look good at all when I increase the mainwrapper and centercolumn widths...

That's probably because of the width of the graphic image used for the mainWrapper which is 850px wide.

You could edit/redo wrapper_bg.jpg to the width you want.

Hi to Clyde and Doodlebuckets both - I LOVE babygiftbasketstores.com and want to know PLEASE how to integrate some of your design into my site? Specifically:

• The "Shop By Category" section on the main index page
• The rotating New Products in the side column

Thanks for the great design and any help,
Janean

Why thanks Janean, it's a labor of love :) I couldn't have done it without Clyde. He has to be the best source of help in all of zencart with the nicest templates too!

For the Shop by Category, I use the Centerbox Categories mod found here http://www.numinix.com/zen-cart-modules/template-modifications/categories-center-box-module You have to change the title of the box in your english.php file and follow the directions for configuring it in the admin to get it to display. If you need any help with that, let me know. I did find that for the 3 column layout, that I needed the template to be a bit wider, so widened it to 950px. I could send you the file for the background image to widen it and can tell you what to change in your css file if you need that too.

I think for the sidebox you can use Clyde's jscroller mod found here http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1245 There is also this one http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=250 and this one http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=996 but I can't remember which I used! Maybe Clyde knows by looking...

Thanks Clyde!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Playing with those mods now... :clap:

Hello Clyde,

Thank for providing this template for free.

Today I tried using it (1.3.9 from zen-cart addon downloads) and found a difference in the wrapper_bg between 1.3.8 and the one within packed 1.3.9. The newest one somehow doesn't match with the sidebox_* files (there's an offset in the corner blending).

The corner colors in sidebox_content (bottom right) and sidebox_header_bg (top right) is also different.

Are those intentional ?

link to your site.

Sent it to pm.

I already replaced the wrapper with the old one to 'fix' it. I also tinted the sidebox_content bottom right with matching top right sidebox_header_bg. (old one #FFF5F1 recolored with #FBEDD3).

This is the wrapper_bg that I got when I dled the 1.3.9 template

This is the one that is used on 1.3.8

The wrapper_bg was changed in the newest version of the template.

You've apparently made any adjustments to the sideboxes that were necessary.

Clyde, if I wanted to make my sidebox tops click-able, what would I put in my css to do this? Thanks! Amy

Amy,

Sorry for the delayed response.

My mom passed away last weekend and I had to travel to attend her funeral. I'll give you a more detailed response when I return home early next week.

Clyde, I am so sorry about your mom! Please don't worry about anything but family right now...my stuff can wait for sure.

I've actually changed what I want to do, so when you are able, just let me know and I'll ask the slightly different question then.

Take care and hugs....

Amy,

This doesn't involve CSS at all.

open includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

select the sidebox you want to have a clickable header find the following and change the setting to true.

$title_link = false;

You can do for each sidebox you with to change.
