Rustic Template Support Thread

Einstin:

Clyde;
Need you to take a look at http://www.southraven.com and tell me what's wrong with the sidebox's heading alignment before I start playing with the css. This is a stock, unmodified 138a install and just the template uploaded and the 1 gif file added that was overlooked.

Also, is there a reason why the categories box header is different from the other sidebox headers? Personally I would prefer it be like the other sidebox headers.

E

make sure the sidebox column(s) and the box width(s) are the same:

admin -> configuration -> layout settings

right now you have the column(s) set at 150px and the width of the boxes set at 160px

They should both be the same width or the column(s) should be wider than the boxes.

Design choice to make the category box stand out from the other sideboxes.

if you want to change it just replace the highlighted portion of this declaration in the stylesheet.css

#categoriesHeading {
margin: 0;
padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
background-image: url(../images/cb_header.gif); /* replace this with sb_header.gif */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
}

Never mind. Figured it out. I had to set the side box width back to 150px for both the left and right sides instead of the 160px that you had in the readme.txt.

Also changed the css to use the sb_header.gif instead of the cb_header.gif for the categories box.

Love the look and the layout of the template though!

Great job Clyde!

in admin -> configuration -> layout settings

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

If you set these to 160px you'll get a little space around the boxes.

Clyde, would you mind doing me a favor please. Take a look at http://www.southraven.com again. The graphic I made for the page title appear fine in Firefox but it IE its trashed. It's probably the way I edited one if the files for the header layout and not as much a css issue but could you tell me what I need to do to fix the display in IE?

try setting the height of the #logoWrapper as indicated by the highlighted portion

#logoWrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 150px;
vertical-align: top;
position: relative;
}

As the instructions say:

unzip the file

upload the entire includes folder to your server.

(all the files are set up exactly in the same structure as zen cart so everything will end up where it belongs.)

go to admin -> configuration -> layout settings

Column Width - Left Boxes 150px
Column Width - Right Boxes 150px

make the changes indicated by the highlighted portions and that should fix the problem

thanks, it works great!!

Hi Clyde,

Cool template!!

My issue is that I have so many categories that the category box is not complete - please check out my site: https://www.bookshack.net

Is something limiting the height of the box?

Thanks!

Clyde,

Please disregard my last post regarding the category box as it has been answered.

Thanks!

The sidebox content image is 750px high as long as the number of your categories does not exceed this limit the sidebox should appear complete. If the number of categories exceed this height then the sidebox will break.

I just checked the site in FF3, IE7, Opera, Safari and Chrome and didn't see any break in the categories sidebox.

What I'm seeing is a list of categories that ends with "true crime" and the next line is "new products"

If you have more categories that are not showing up they do not appear when I view the source of the page.

Clyde,

Thanks so much for testing my site in all those browsers!!

Hi Clyde,

I would like to create some external static pages for Links (pages dedicated for other sites to link to for SEO purposes). I have a software program that creates these pages in html format. My question is how can I create a html page using your template design?

Thanks!

Two possibilities suggest themselves.

Use the built in Zen Cart EZ pages (admin -> tools -> EZ Pages)

OR

Download and install the Links Manager mod (available in the downloads section

Thanks for the quick response Clyde. In looking at those options it seems that the new pages will be in php format. Unfortunately the link manager software I am using only creates html format. Anyway of getting just the basic design of your template to be used in a static html page? Hope I am making sense. :unsure:
