Rustic Template Support Thread

RiverCity:

Fantastic, that got it to match the rest of the template but the font for the word, Catagories, is black instead of white like the others, can you point me to where I can fix that part?

Thanks
Jim

same place as the other changes
look for

h3#categoriesHeading

and change the color declaration

Got it, thanks.

Jim

Hey Clyde:

Using your Rustic template on a new support website I am putting up for Arcadem Pro software. I am stuck however. When you initially go to the home page, it appears fine. But if you click on any links or that, the whole left column resizes to what the right column is.

How do I fix that? Want left column to say same width it starts with and not resize the width, the way it is.

First you have your right and left columns set at 190px and the box containers at 180px.

The graphics for the sideboxes are only 150px wide.

so if you want them to be 180px widr you'll need to create new graphics.

otherwise you could use the recommended setting for the template:

admin -> configuration -> layout settings
Column Width - Left Boxes (set to 150px) default
Column Width - Right Boxes (set to 150px) default
Column Width - Left (set to 160px)
Column Width - Right (set to 160px)

I resized the graphics with Adobe Paint Shop for the right side. Something is throwing it off and I am struck on figuring it out. As you can see when you first hit the homepage it lines up until you click something and the page refreshes.

another problem is the fact that you're using the rustic template inside the cherry_zen template

cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css

this should be

rustic/css/stylesheet.css

Long explanation for that. Cherry_zen crashed and would not work with wordpress where Rustic would. the cherry_zen directory is actually rustic. Eventually I will rename folders, but with so much installed already, I just use my current custom folder name which is cherry_zen.

Anyways.....you think copying the WHOLE packet would work? LOL

I had the WRONG stylesheet...no wonder. That was the culprit.

Well thought I had the problem solved. I did fail to copy the right CSS over but the problem still occurs. I need the columns both at 191px because of paid advertising I get. RIght column is fine. Left column, it appears that the category box is causing the issue of the left column resizing beyond the 191 px. What would do that?

Additional to my previous post:

You can click on the links in the left sidebox again, and sometimes it will reposition correctly, sometimes even worse.

These are the stylesheets that ae included with the rustic template
checkout_confirmation.css
checkout_payment.css
checkout_shipping.css
checkout_success.css
ie_stylesheet.css
print_stylesheet.css
stylesheet.css
stylesheet_betterCategoriesEzInfo.css
stylesheet_css_buttons.css

Maybe it would be better to just reinstall the rustic template (correctly) into its own folder(s) and not include it in the cherry_zen folder(s)

that way any files that might be in the cherry_zen folder that might conflict with files in the rustic template will be eliminated.

I got so much customization done already, trying to start again is not an option for me. I am started to take money in and committed to the Arcadem Pro programmer to go live in the AM officially to provide a source for downloads.

I think I know where the issue is. I want to turn off the current category box and have the links display at the top of the applicable pages. How can I do that?

Just turn off the category sidebox:
admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller

for the rest just un-comment the following declarations in the stylesheet.css delete the higlighted portions

/* #navCatTabsWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(../images/navbar.gif) repeat-x;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffff;
}

#navEZPagesTop {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 5px 0;
background: url(../images/navbar.gif) repeat-x;
color: #ffffff;
font-size: 0.95em;
font-weight: bold;
height:23px;
}*/

Thanks Clyde,

For for some reason, my gut feeling was pointing me to the categories sidebox. I like the menu system anyway better and problem solved. Thanks. Something in the code for that is resizing the left column completely, but not sure what. Not sure if it's my customization or in your theme (which I doubt). I went back to this theme, because it's one of the easiest to work with and I found very few bugs in it. Thanks again for great work.

includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php

I dont have this path:
includes/languages/english/rustic/header.php
After this:
includes/languages/english/
I get these options:
-classic
-extra_definition
-html-includes
-images
-modules
When i do a search with developers toolkit on "TEXT_GREETING_GUEST"
It tells me that this is written in these places:
/includes/languages/english/index.php
and
includes/functions/functions_customers.php
However, taking out or changing this either spot does not affect what shows.
Thanks
DEAN

Then you haven't uploaded all of the files and folders for the template.

Make sure you have uploaded the following:

includes/languages/rustic
includes/languages/english/rustic
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/rustic
includes/languages/english/html_includes/rustic
includes/modules/rustic
includes/modules/sideboxes/rustic
includes/templates/rustic

Thanks for all your help. We really appriciate you spending so much time helping newbies.
I am having some problems with the tamplates (And some - like xmas and green marble dont have as many files and wont work at all). I often get the templates to work but I can never seem to figure out how much to open the folders before I upload them so maybe you can enlighten me a little about whats going on.
HERE IS MY RUSTIC ACTIONS.
-Download where I get an index file but uploading the index file dont work so I have to open it a little.
-Opening it and I get 3 folders (Languages, modules and templates)
-Opening templates I get rustic and then get six folderss called buttons, common css, images, sideboxes, templates
-I go to /includes/templatesand create a new file called rustic and upload those six folders. The template now works and I can play around with it (As you saw in my website so i am getting pretty good).
However there are two other folders that dont seem to do anything - Languages and modules.
Do these also go into the rustic folder that I created or should they be uploaded elsewhere? When I upload them do I upload like they are or do I have to open the two folders furter before I upload them(For example opening languages gets me english and rustic and those folders can then be opened further).
Maybe you can explain what is going on and then maybe I can get those little issues that is causing me a lot of grief (like that text that I am trying to get rid of)
Thanks a lot
DEAN

The includes file that comes with the rustic template is already set up in the same directory structure as Zen Cart.

All you need to do is upload (FTP) the entire includes folder to the root of your server where you have Zen Cart installed.

There is no need to rename or upload individual files.

This is the directory structure of the Rustic Template
includes/languages/rustic
includes/languages/english/rustic
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/rustic
includes/languages/english/html_includes/rustic
includes/modules/rustic
includes/modules/sideboxes/rustic
includes/templates/rustic

Each of these contain folders/files that are needed in order for the template to work properly.

Hello Clyde:
After much trial and error I am almost done with my site. Could you please look at the bunkhouse page and see if you can tell me what to do about the white line under the logo with the title words Jewelry for Cowgirls, Cowboys--------------. I need to get rid of the white and of course center the title. Thanks!
