Unzip the Package and upload the includes folder to your server.

Go to admin -> tools -> template selection click the edit button, choose the template from the dropdown menu and click update.

Go to admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the reset button.

Ok, thats what the read me file said, and as far as i know that is what i have done! I may have uploaded the includes file to the wrong place? any possibility of giving me details of exactly where it should go? where you have the default and classic files, is it inplace of classic or inside?

Sorry I know this is very basic, the more i try to find the answer the more confussed I am getting. I am worried that i may have got past the point of being able to fix and may have to reinstal (reluctant to do so as spent whole weekend setting things up)

hope someone can help

How do I get the attribute drop down to be higher on the product page, or above the add to cart button? Here is the URL...
http://nitrate.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=55

I think that with Windows Internet Explorer, it seems to be even lower on the page than with a Mac and Firefox or Safari. It varies with IE6 vs IE7 too. I would like to have the dropdown be first and then the add to cart button below that if possible.

Using zen-cart 1.3.8 and the mystic template.

You'll need to modify/edit
includes/templates/template_default/template/tpl_product_info_display.php

find the section marked:

move this entire section to above the section
beginning with

once the edits are done save the file to:

Hi, I've been working with this great template for a while now and got around it pretty well, but there's one thing that I just cannot seem to be able to do with it :dontgetit

I'm trying to make it 100% width so that the header, the footer and the containers of the sideboxes reach the sides of the browser, but I just can't seem to find where to make the modifications :frusty:

I tought "100% fluid" meant it would be easy :blush:

Thanx for the help and keep on the good work :wink:

open includes/templates/mystic/css/stylesheet.css

Find the following declaration and change the highlighted portion as indicated

#mainWrapper {
margin:0;
background:#F8CCED;
color:#000;
text-align:left;
width:100%;
vertical-align:top;
}

Many thanx !

I've got a last one for you : I would like to have the footer (where the credits are) to be flush at the bottom of the browser without any background visible.

I'm sure you know that one by heart :wink:

Thanx, it's appreciated,

-Steph.

Since the side columns and the center column are dynamic they will only expand to hold the content that is in them.

If you only have enough content to fill just half that area then the footer will display at the bottom of that content and will leave the background visible.

If you do a search for footer in the forum (there may be some threads that might help you out.)

For the first Part:

That is a customized define_main_page.php file which is found in
includes/languages/english/html_includes/mystic/define_main_page.php

The boxes are div statements that are styled in a custom page stylesheet.

The images were created in a graphics program.

As for the second part.

I'll have to check the stylesheet.css and see where the problem may be.

open admin -> configuration -> layout settings

Column Width - Left 160px
Column Width - Right 160px

make sure these are set as indicated

Yep they are set at that i followed all the instructions but they havent changed in the boxes.

This may sound more complicated than it really is.

The sideboxes are set at 150px wide - inside that width you have to include the right and left padding. (padding:5px 0 8px 8px;)

You have 8px of padding on the left side of the box and 0 on the right.

What happens is that whatever is placed in the box will be pushed to the left by that 8px amount.

in addition the image in the sponsor box is 150px wide (the width of the sidebox without padding. So with the padding added the image is being pushed out of the box by that 8px amount.

You could try reducing the padding (this will affect ALL of the sideboxes) or you could try to resize the image to around 140px.

Or the simplest option:

open includes/templates/mystic/css/stylesheet.css

scroll all the way to the bottom and add the following declaration:

#bannerboxallContent, #reviewsContent {
padding:5px 0 8px 0;
}

after making the edit save the file and upload to your server.

How can I remove the space above the header wrapper and logo? I want everything to go right to very top with 0 pixel margins. I'm using Mystic River Template on 1.3.8.

Since you didn't provide a URL for your site, I'll guess that you need to open includes/templates/mystic/css/stylesheet.css

find the following section and set the margin declaration to 0 (delete the highlighted portion

body {
margin:5px 0;
padding:0;
background:#F8CCED;
color:#000;
font:normal 62.5%/1.3em Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
