Glacial Age Template Support Thread

Okay so we are having a little issue with our product descriptions. We had to import our product descriptions from a previous zen cart database and when we add a new product it looks the way it should, but all the others do not ... for example:

http://www.brightmindsforkids.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=359_358_21&products_id=273 (way it should look)

http://www.brightmindsforkids.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=359_358_21&products_id=38 (way it looks for all products currently installed)

Why would it be doing this and how can I fix it? Also on the products previously installed the long description is not showing up.

I'd only be guessing here, but it appears that not all the required information was imported from the older database.

as in additional tables not imported??? or there was something wrong with the import from the description itself?

I liiks like the entire description was not imported.

Hello,

I use the glacial age template and so far, it works like a charm. It is located in http://kretekmall.svgconsult.com

Many thanks to clydejones for making it available to us.

Hi,

For those of you who haven't got indexed by search engines, this article will help http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=713752&highlight=template#post713752

My store wasn't listed on google after a month of being launched. It turned out that the problem was in a file called html_header.php.

After correcting it, my store got indexed within 3 days. ^_^

Hi,

I love this template but one little niggle. When displaying product info, after "Manufactured By:", if the manufacturer's name is two words the second word splits to the next line even though there is plenty of space to get it on one line. It definitely does not look right with a name like IQ Instruments.

Thanks
Fred

URL for your site.

Should the glacial_age template go to SSL for 'contact us' ?

Yes, it should.

I just checked your site and didn't notice what you are describing.

is there a particular product I should be looking at?

The problem occurs with any product where the manufacturer's name is listed and the browser width is reduced.

Go to pH Instruments>Pocket Testers>Waterproof EcoTestr pH1.

The manufacturer's name is displayed as Eutech Instruments.

Start with full screen width then pull the browser right margin in. You will see the word Instruments moves under the word Manufactured long before the margin reaches it.

Thanks

open includes/templates/glacial_age/css/product_info.css

white-space: nowrap;
}

Hi

When I extracted it from the zip files, there are many php files out of the includes file and none in the includes file. IN the includes folder there is only one folder, is that right?

When I try upload those php files my server says critical error and doesn't allow the uploads.

Thanks

When you unzip the package you should have

an includes folder and three text files

upload (FTP) the includes folder to your server where you have zen cart installed.

Hi Clyde,

I tried that but it did not do anything. Instead I tried the nowrap here:-

#productDetailsList {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
list-style: none;
white-space: nowrap;
}

Now the manufacturer's name does not wrap at all. Not a perfect fix but certainly much better.

On another subject, I took a look at my site in IE7 and found that the text in the sideboxes is blue instead of white and is not visible until you hover the cursor over the box. Is that something in the IE CSS file which overwrites the text color?

Thanks for the help.

add the following to the ie_stylesheet.css

a:link {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
)
ul li a {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}

ul li a {

Thanks Clyde,

That works once the link has been visited.

Again not a perfect solution but much better.

I am now reading up about CSS.

Zen Cart 1.3.8a / Glacial Age Template v1.0 / EP v1.2.5.4

I decided to open an online store and, after significant research, I found Zen Cart to be the best choice. I went through the templates here and other places on the net and settled for 'Glacial Age'. Nice color and a format to suit my taste. :clap:

I know HTML and CSS, but PHP is a full learning curve. And, of course, any attempt to modify some one elses work and follow their flow. :smartalec:

My question. On the shopping cart page is a button for 'estimating shipping' and it sits on the frame below the 'back to shopping' button. I want to move it into the form with the rest of the buttons. :frusty:

Where is the file I need to touch? Just the name will do.

Thanks :cool:

This is not a template specific question.

The shipping estimator is completely seperate from the shopping cart form and uses javascript. moving the button into the shopping cart form may therefore cause problems with the estimator.

The file you need is includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_shopping_cart_default.php

after making any edits make sure you move the edited file to:
