Ocean Front Template Support Thread

Thanks Clyde :smile: I will unveil it soon I'm busy working behind the scens right now

Good Morning,
Just added the Ocean Front Template to http://www.thepatchshop.com.au

I couple of small problems;

1. The right side of the Cat box is cut off, If I increase the Template width to 900 then the full boxes appear.

2. The gap between the flash header and the Tabs is too big, now can I cut that down.

Any help appreciated

1. The graphic images for the side boxes are 150px wide; You have the right side column width set at 80px; I'd reset these in admin -> configuration -> layout settings - make the column and box width 150px

2. put it inside the headerWrapper instead of above it.

RKB - I looked at your site in IE7, no flash banner/logo. You might want to take a look yourself (Could be my firewall blocking it, but thought I'd give you a heads up anyway!)

Thanks for the info and guidance, I will get onto the IE issue when I resolve the issues I have with Firefox.

I have two header problems http://www.thepatchshop.com.au

1. How can I get rid on the surplus background above the Flash header ?

2. I would like to have the Flash Header span the full width, but there seems to be some padding on the left side that I can not find which is stopping the header from settling on the left.

move it inside the logoWrapper div

How do I change the body background? Went to sylesheet.css and couldn't find it. Thank you for your help in advance.

Change the background-color

That's what I've been doing and hasn't changed anything.

Guess I didn't look too good. It does change the color around the edge of the page. Was needing to know how to change the beige background. Thank you for your help.

Well that's a bit tricky, you have to change, modify or delete

@ RKB

This fix will take care of the issue with your sideboxes.

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Good Evening Clyde,
Thanks for the css file.

I have installed it and increased the side box upto 150px and it looks good now.

I am still having an issue with the flash header in as much the main body of the header refuses to settle on the left hand boundary. Currently I have the length limited so it looks OK.

in admin -> configuration -> layout settings

make sure that both the sidebox width and the column width are both set to 150.

Right now you have the sidebox set to 150 but the column width is set at 80.

Try making the highlighted changes and see if that helps
#logoWrapper{
margin: 0;
/background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-color: #ffffff;/
height:150px;
width:850px;
}

Clyde,
Thanks for the reply, I have made the adjustments you suggested, I have increased the length of the header to 850 and I have left the results for you to see as they are only cosmetic. The left side remains 'fixed' the right side moves out.

I use the same type of header at http://www.bikesforsale.net.au and http://www.livestockforsale.net.au and http://www.bwf.com.au also I used the patchshop header in the previous version of Zencart with SimpleZen template.

I will keep investagating

Try adding the following declaration to the stylesheet.css

#flashcontent1{
z-index:1;
position:relative;
top:0;
left:0;
}

Clyde,
Thanks for the assistance, still no go, I think I will give up on the flash header for a few days.

I have found that Adobe Flash Reader will not yet work with the 64bit Version of IE, 32 works fine.

Before I start on the IE Style sheet you might like to look at http://www.thepatchshop.com.au it seems that the Category Font size is different in IE to FF and the long cat name is pushing the box out. I am not sure if that is something for your template design or just the way I have it setup.

Thanks for all of your assistance
