Thank you very much Clyde. It all worked exactly as I envisioned. Its great that you do this like you do, not many people would. As I continue to set up my site, If you would like a free poster just let me know and I will be glad to ship it right out to you.

Hi Clyde

I'm new to ZenCart and I attempt to redesign your template. I changed images of side boxes, header, footer but I don't know how to change colors of main background :). I tried a different lines of code in stylesheet.css but it doesn’t work for me.

Thanks

URL for your site?

Hi Clyde, I'm using localhost at the moment for test of zencart so no url available. When I changing that part in Classic Contemporary Green template, color of background is changing

#mainWrapper {
background-color: #20955d;
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
border: 0px solid #000000;
}

in your template this looks like that

#mainWrapper {
   margin: 0 auto;
   padding: 0;
	background: #fff;
	border: 1px solid #000;
	text-align: left;
	width: 90%;
	vertical-align: top;
	}

I'm beginner so if you can give me some tips I'll be grateful. Thanks

The default declaration in the stylesheet.css for glaicial_age looks like this. You want to change the highlighted portion.

#mainWrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
background: #ccccff;
border: 1px solid #000;
text-align: left;
width: 90%;
vertical-align: top;
}

If you want to change the background color(s) of the center column then look in the stylesheet.css for the following declarations and change the background to the color of your choice:

#centerOuterBorder 

.centerColumn

Hi all,

I am having problems with the viewing in the browser using IE compared to Firefox.

Everything looks good in Firefox but if I use Internet explorer the top looks different (not showing all the buttons). Also left side box drop down list appears wider.

This is my site: http://www.outdoorking.com/

Any help fixing this up would be appreciated.

Hopefully this will fix both issues.

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Where exactly do you want the includes directory put into the includes/template/glacial_age directory or into the default directory?

Thanks for your help but I just want to make an error as the site is live.

FTP the includes folder to where you have Zen Cart installed on your server.

You do this the same way you installed the template.

NOTE: you can always put the site down for maintenance while you do the upload.

clydejones,

Thanks for the file it worked a treat but I have one other question regarding the footer as in Firefox it looks good but not in IE as it does not stay in the same area.

What do I need to change to correct this.

I checked in FF, IE7, Opera, Safari and Chrome and I don't see anything unusual.

Your template is great and thus far I have had no issues with it ... other than the images not lining up but I think after viewingI found out the issue and will address that later...it looks fine the way it is now ...

However, if you scroll towards the bottom the center column isn't as long as the two side columns ... how do i fix this so it's even all the time ...if you look at any of the product pages, it doesn't line up right there either .

Thanks!

Also, on https://www.brightmindsforkids.com the ez pages aren't showing up on the sidebar ... help?

The pages in Zen Cart are dynamic and only take up as much space as they need.

If the left or right columns take up space that extends them to the bottom of the page and the center section doesn't then you'll be left with what you are describing.

one way to avoid this would be to change this declaration in the stylesheet.css as indicated by the highlight

#contentMainWrapper {
padding: 0 0 20px 0;
background: #AAB7F3;
}

make sure you've assigned a sort order to those pages you wish to appear in the side box and that the sidebox is activated.

Also is there a way of duplicating the contact page for newsletter sign up? and changing the contact form?

perfect thank you :)
