Rustic Template Support Thread

roadliner:

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:

You'd have to style them using the stylesheet.css that comes with the template.

In other words you'd have to use the same tag structure on the static pages that is used in Zen Cart.

What software are you using?

Ok..not sure how to do that with using Crimson. I've always used frontpage to create and edit.

I am using a software called Arelis.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with this software but I assume that it will create either a text file or an html file.

either of which you should be able to open in your text editor.

Do you have an example of a static page in your ZC template?

Sorry, no.

But if you view the source of any page from your web site You can save that as a text file on your PC and that will give you the structure you would need.

Or you can just click Save Page As from your browser tool bar.

Thank you so much for all your help Clyde!! I got it to work flawlessly!

Glad you got it working

Hi again Clyde,

I am trying to change the title, keywords and description in the meta tags for the general pages (index, etc.). I know how to do it for the product pages. From reading other posts, there seems to be a meta_tags.php file but can't find it. Please let me know where it is or if I need to copy a file from somewhere else.

Thanks!

open includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

copy this file to includes/languages/english/rustic/

Edit the file, save it and upload to your server.

Hi Clyde,

I am trying to customize the header for Paypal IPN pages with your template design but need the Header Image URL. Where do I find this?

Thanks again!

Hi Clyde,

Thank You for the template.
I can't get ftp to work for me. Tried different ones and no luck.
Can I just place the folders and files manually?
And is the correct path--
publicincludestemplate
or do I need to make folder named Rustic?
TIA
Anna

No you don't need to make a rustic folder.

The folder structure is already set up.

You just need to place the entire includes folder on your server.

(without knowing how your server is set up) The path would be wherever you have Zen Cart installed - usally under the public_html folder on your server.

If you have problems just send me a PM

I am also using the Rustic Template and have a few questions, hoping you can help me.

1. As you will see on my main page, my text content runs together and it does the same for all my description as well. It is almost as if there is not enough space between my sentences. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried everything that I can think of.

2. How do I made my categories boxes wider?

3. I forgot to ask why my tan colored navigation under my buttons shows up in IE and not in FF?

My new site can be found here:
http://www.baysdesigns.com/

Thanks So Much!

P.S. By the way I really like this new template. I have 3 other sites with the Cherry Zen but this new one is fun.

I made a mistake in my question #2. I need to know how to make my category boxes higher in height.

I know how to make them wider.

Try adding the highlighted portion to the following declaration in the stylesheet.css

.centerColumn {
padding: 0.8em;
line-height:1.5em;
}

2. I need to know how to make my category boxes higher in height.

The sideboxes are dynamic in nature and are filled with content as necessary. You want to play with the margin/padding settings in these declarations in the stylesheet.css and see how things look.

.sideBoxContent {
padding: 0.4em /0.4em 10px 0.4em/;
background-image: url(../images/sb_content.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom;
font-weight: bold;
}
#categoriesContent {
padding: 0.4em 0.4em 10px 0.4em;
background-image: url(../images/cb_content.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom;
font-weight: bold;
}

3. I forgot to ask why my tan colored navigation under my buttons shows up in IE and not in FF?

You are apparently missing the background image in this declaration in the stylesheet.css
Try adding the highlighted portion

#navMainWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(../images/navbar.gif) repeat-x;
}

Thank You Clyde! I appreciate your help. I think I have #1 fixed now and will work on my other problem.

I have done what you suggest here: But it didn't fix the problem. Any other suggestions?

And now I have another question that I can't seem to fix as well.

When you click on this link: http://www.baysdesigns.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=14

You will see the title bar says httpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of Advertising. I have even set up a new category for that but I still get the same problem. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks again!!

for the background image, try adding the declaration here in the stylesheet.css

#navMain {
   margin:0;
   padding: 5px 0 2px 0;
   float:left;
   font-size: 1.2em;
   line-height: normal;
	width: 100%;
background: url(../images/navbar.gif) repeat-x;
}	

You will see the title bar says httpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of Advertising. I have even set up a new category for that but I still get the same problem. Is there a way to fix that?
Not sure about this one, but I'll go out on limb and ask if you created your meta tags correctly when you set up this category.

The reason I ask is that when check the page source no title is displayed where the meta tag <title> </title> appears.

Thank You!!! That background image this time worked! Thanks a million.

I finally added a line height in the category box so that now my side box for my categories is bigger.

And for that advertising category that wouldn't work in the title bar I had my host fix it for me in the data base.

And Here is my title that you couldn't see. I wonder what you saw?

You guys here rock! :clap::clap:

Thanks again for all your time and your help. I feel like I'm gaining now.

Hello All,

I am new to Zencart and have installed the Rustic Template.

My site can be found at http://nblx.nbenterprises.ca/nbstore/

I am having problems trying to do a couple of things.

1. I would like to have the logo in the header fill the entire header and if possible dynamicaly change size based on browser resolution.
2. I would like to move the Cart Totals and Welcome Greeting to a line below the logo image with tne greeting on the left and cart on right
3. I would like to have the "Welcome to N.B. Enterprises" centered above the new products on the home page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve
