How do you change the color of the sideboxes?

OK. I've just got to ask this silly question....How do you change the color of the sideboxes??? I've searched everywhere, and I know I am overlooking the information. But I just can't find it.

"The Override Folders"

We need to step back, just a little..

  1. Using the override system means you don't have to worry about over-writing your custom files when an upgrade comes along, because they are all in custom directories you will create below.
    2. Click on the link below, notice the tutorial/faqs on the top right hand side
    3. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/
    4. Notice the blue header bar, click Index
    5. Scroll down to override system, click
    6. click on the override system really simplified, https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=143
    7. you will need to use a ftp program and create these folders
    8. now read this article
    9. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=142
  2. after you finish that little step, read the article below
  3. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=230
  4. So, now when you want to edit a .php file, first upload the file to your custom folder and then edit the puppy..

....... Copy Files from Classic to Custom Template

Just another helpful technique, since you started building in the classic template, because when you create your custom template

  1. admin panel/ tools/ layout boxes controller
  2. you will go crazy when you view the screen
  3. Click reset button on the bottom of the screen

Take time and follow the instructions below:

  1. Use your ftp program to transfer the following files:

  2. includes/ templates/ classic/ css/ stylesheet.css

  3. copy and paste this file to:

  4. includes/ templates/ your_custom_template/ css

  5. includes/ templates/ classic/ images

  6. copy and paste all image files, .jpg and gifs to:

  7. includes/ templates/ your_custom_template/ images

  8. includes/ languages/ classic

  9. copy and paste all files here to:

  10. includes/ languages/ your_custom_template

  11. If you have none here no worries

  12. includes/ languages/ english/ html_includes/ classic

  13. copy and paste all .php files to:

  14. includes/ languages/ english/ html_includes/ your_custom_template

  15. I hope I have not missed one

  16. Since I noticed you have already made a few changes:

  17. Copy any core file that you have changed now over to the custom template name you have created.....

We have now accomplished all the transferring of the classic files over to your_custom_template folder.

  1. Yes, now you have Zen by the ba..s!!!!! :p
