Desert Noon Template Support Thread

Joseph Heinen:

Hi
I am trying to get this working

I get an error that I can't figure out.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_get_generated_category_path_rev() in public_html/catalog/includes/templates/desert_noon/sideboxes/tpl_whats_new.php on line 17

check includes/functions/functions_categories.php

make sure the following file is present in that directory functions_categories.php

How do I put more items in the desert noon header?

I would like a 2-line tagline and there doesn't seem to be enough room vertically. Is there a way to move up the name of the website so I can fit in an extra line of text? (Less padding at top?)

I would also like to display payment icons over the date. (I've already reduced the font size for the date.) How do I add additional images to the header?

to adjust the tagline:
open includes/templates/desert_noon/css/stylesheet.css

find the following section and make the highlighted adjustments:

#taglineWrapper {
text-align: center;
height: 75px;
width: 380px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 250px;
}

To add an extra line of text:

open includes/languages/english/desert_noon/header.php

edit the following define statement

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<font face="comic sans ms" size=6>CustomBooksEtc.com</font><br /><font size=2>Personalized Books for All Ages and Occasions<br />Add your extra line of text</font>');

I am getting pretty good at building zen carts now but still teaching myself a few things.
I have set up a little practice website for myself here:
http://www.downunderopalshop.com/
What I am trying to figure out is how to set up a strict info site with no ability to buy anything or to log in. Just a site that people can view for information. But still have the ability to change the site to full functionality with a few setting changes should one want to do that in the future.
In my practice site I have tried turning off everything but I just cant find a way to get rid of the "MY ACCOUNT" and "SHOPPING CART" buttons in the upper right of the page.
Anybody have any idea on how to do that?

open includes/templates/desert_noon/common/tpl_header.php

find and comment out the following lines of code.

    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'account') ? ' class="current">' : ' class="account">');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li<?php echo ((in_array($current_page_base,explode(",",'checkout_shipping,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,checkout_success'))) ? ' class="current">' : '>');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT . '</span>'; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
    <li<?php echo (($current_page_base == 'shopping_cart') ? ' class="cart current">' : ' class="cart">');?><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo '<span>' . HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS . '</span>'; ?></a></li>

Thanks for the additional tagline info...how do I add additional images to the header? I want to insert payment icons (MC, Visa, etc) over the date.

You have a couple of options here:

either create a graphic with the required image and then use the stylesheet.css to display and position the new image.

use the built in banner manager to place you image(s) in the second header banner position.

Can you be more specific? My image is called payoptions.jpg and it's in includes/images.

If edit /includes/templates/desert_noon/css/stylesheet.css, where do I put code to display this image in the header? And what is the exact code? I'm not having any luck with this. (I'm trying to place the image above the date; if you get me in the vacinity, I can tweek placement).

First:

add the following to your stylesheet.css

.accept {
position:absolute;
background: url(..images/payoptions.jpg) no-repeat;
top:50px
right:10px;
}

Second:

open includes/templates/desert_noon/common/tpl_header.php

find the following line of code and just below add the following:

Just downloaded this template and very impressed with the ease of changing templates.

A couple of questions:

Have changed the logo but would like to move the new smaller logo away from edge.

Want to change tagline to an image and have inserted this into header.php

define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<img src="/images/banner5.jpg"');

but it did not work:huh:. so how can I insert an image into the Tagline as I wish to keep the header background.

many thanks.

URL for your site?

SilverKop:

http://slstamps.co.uk

open includes/templates/desert_noon/css/stylesheet.css

find the following declarations and make the highlighted changes

#logo {
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
float: left;
}

#tagline {
font-size: 3.5em;
font-weight: bold;
color:#854401;
vertical-align: middle;
background: url(../images/banner5.jpg) no-repeat;
}

Clyde,

Many thanks that worked a treat.

Another question if you do not mind not quite your template but....

I have added another side box, but how can I put an image into this.

I'd have to say its going to depend on the sidebox you installed.

If you are using the bank sidebox or the logo sidebox add-ons then adding an image should be fairly easy.

Other sideboxes may require a bit more effort to get the image instaled.

blank_sidebox add-on

SilverKop:

blank_sidebox add-on

The blank sidebox is good for text and in some cases javascript.

But using it for images requires a bit of extra work to define the images and setting them to display.

The logo sidebox might be a better choice for images since the code for displaying the images is already included. the only thing required is to include the name, height, and width in the appropriate define statements.

Many thanks, have downloaded and installed the logo side box add on.

Installed ok but how can I centre the logo please.

adding this at the bottom of your stylesheet.css should do the trick.

#logosideboxContent {
text-align:center;
}
