Rustic Template Support Thread

Johnnyd:

Hello Clyde, I have tried the things you have sent me and again thankful for the time you have spent.The logo,s were created in xara Webstyle as two seperate images so i would still like the ability to edit them in xara.Your default positon for a logo suits my needs for the first logo and I would like to delete entire header sales text and its position and replace that with second logo. I have edited the Logos and they are attached here.Thanks again John:smile:

First: save your images to includes/templates/rustic/images

Second: open includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php

find the following line of code:

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here<br />This text can be changed by<br />editing <code>includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php</code><br />To replace the logo, upload your logo.gif to <code>includes/templates/rustic/images/</code>');

and change it as follows:

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

Third: open includes/templates/rustic/css/stylesheet.css

find the following line:

#taglineWrapper {
margin-left:135px;
padding-top: 2px;
background: url(../images/callout_bg.gif) no-repeat;
width:560px;
}

and change it as follows:

#taglineWrapper {
margin-left:135px;
padding-top: 2px;
background: url(../images/logo_b.jpg) no-repeat;
width:640px;
height:78px;
}

make the following changes in includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php

define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '154px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '107px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

Again, without see the actual site where you are placing these images, I really can't give you very accurate information about the sizing and Css adjustments that may need to be made.

make sure your edit(s) are enclosed in single quotes:

, 'my edited message is here');

note: if you used an appotrophe in any part of the text make sure you use a forward slash in front of it

, 'my edited message is here I'm glad I got it right ');

Thanks Clyde, did manage to acheive a result was going to post a disregard message changed the home page entry would still like to know what the second entry is for?:unsure: thanks again John

It depends on what admin settings you have set for the index page

One setting uses the first one another will use the second one.

Out of the box the template works well in FF, IE7, Opera, Safari and Chrome.

You've obviously made several changes to the styling.

The most glaring is that you've changed the overall width of the template - reducing it by about 25%
The "tagline" is overly large (font-size: 4.5em) and is running into other sections of the header including the section of the navigation bar that includes those three buttons. Reducing this font-size to 2.5em or 3.5em should solve the problem.

Hi Clyde,

First of all I would like to say that I love your "rustic template" Thank you for creating it.

Let me start by saying that I am a newbie when it comes to website creation. I have downloaded the rustic template and uploaded it to my server via the instructions in the download, read me first folder. Working fine on the website.

Now I am in the process of "trying" to customize it for my site and I am having absolutely no luck what so ever. I have read the previous posts about includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php I have made the changes in the right places (I think) and uploaded via filezilla to my webhost (hostgator) but the changes aren't showing up on my website. I don't know what I am doing wrong. :dontgetit

my website url is http://eaglemountainsupplies.com

Any help/info that you can send my way is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Becky

What changes are you attempting to make?

What changes are you attempting to make?

I am trying to change the Tagline here area. The logo and the browser area to start. I haven't even begun to try to figure out how to edit the main wording on the page (Have you got yours yet?) I figured I would start at the top and work my way down, but now I am to the point I am ready to pull out my hair. I am sure I have looked at the answer a few times in this forum, but I just can't make it work.

Thank you
Becky

open includes/languages/english/rustic/header/php

find the following declaration(s):

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here<br />This text can be changed by<br />editing <code>includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php</code><br />To replace the logo, upload your logo.gif to <code>includes/templates/rustic/images/</code>');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '164px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '107px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

edit the highlighted portions to suit your needs.

once you've done your edits save the file and upload it to your server (includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php

If you haven't done so already, create a new logo and save it to includes/templates/rustic/images/logo.gif

glad to help

I have not read this whole thread, but I have searched it and didn't see an answer to my problem, so here goes.

Someone please take a look at my site. www.ncmodularhomesales.com (I realize it's not rendering quite right. I have been testing using Firefox, and a friend just pointed out the issues with IE.:cry: But that's not my issue.)

Notice that on the Index page, manufacturer listing, and category listing, in the heading, the greeting looks fine, but go to any other pages and it says "TEXT_GREETING_GUEST" or "TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL"

I'm driving myself nuts, can someone help me? I'm using the "rustic" template. I just installed it last night. Thanks in advance y'all.:frusty:

(I am new to Zen-Cart, so please try not to talk over my head.)

It would not bother me to take the greeting off of all the pages except the index page, whatever makes it easier to fix quickly.
