Hi,
I uploaded ThemeRoller and created my own theme and I like this very much.  I have one problem I cannot figure out, though. I'm not sure how to explain it, but in a category or subcategory that has more than one item, every other item the background doesn't appear - it's just white.  Here's a web page you can see it...
http://www.thinkittees.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=22_25
I'm stopping short of messing with any css.  I'm hoping you can help.

Also, what if I don't want the content background in these cells or tables?

That's not a bug, that's a feature. No, seriously. The background is supposed to be different on the odd and even lines. It helps the reader's eye to scan across the line. This is actually good design practice.

If you don't want it, just delete this bit of Javascript from the bottom of catalog/includes/footer.php:

<script type="text/javascript">
$('.productListTable tr:nth-child(even)').addClass('alt');
</script>

If you want to change any of the other backgrounds, header colors, etc., then you'll need to change the CSS class that triggers them. That's in far too many places to list here. I suggest using the Firebug extension in Firefox to examine the element you want to change.

Regards
Jim

Hi Jim,

I can't seem to get it working either. What happens for me is that once I select the theme I want and I save it, it doesn't show up on my site. The header bars or any of the colored boxes don't show up. It only changes some of the text color. I tried doing what everyone was talking about in all of the above posts by changing the file names but maybe I'm confused. Could you possibly list all of the file names in each directory that jQuery UI would have possibly changed with their new versions so that I can compare the two and change the new jQuery UI files to what you have them set to be? Unless you don't think that is my problem. Please let me know.

Thank you!
Joey

You should not have to change any existing files, other than the one-line deletion necessary for Theme Switcher to work. If you are talking about changing the file names in the package that you downloaded from ThemeRoller, that's all covered in the User's Manual. Read through those instructions again and make certain that you have followed every one. Don't skip any steps.

Regards
Jim

Okay then, I can see that.  I'll simply adjust my theme to a light background for the content.  Thanks for the quick reply and the great add-on.

I have gotten the theme switcher to work finally by replacing jscript v1.4.2 with v1.4.4 and jscript ui v1.8.6 with v1.8.9, but all my pages are missing the buttons with a pre-made theme. Is there any way to fix this?
P.S. I renamed the version to the the older version when I replaced it.

[kymation]

Are you using a 1.8.6 theme or a 1.8.9? I'll have to go test this.

Regards
Jim

[kymation]

I just added a 1.8.9 theme to my test store. Everything works as expected, buttons included. I have now tried 1.8.5, 1.8.6, 1.8.7, and 1.8.9 themes without ever having a failure.

There is nothing wrong with replacing jquery and jquery UI files with the latest version as long as you changed all of the version numbers to match. So, if you replace jquery-ui-1.8.6.min.js with jquery-ui-1.8.9.min.js, you also have to change line 31 of catalog/includes/template_top.php to match.

Jim

[Derek Lingo]

Do I still have to change line 31 of catalog/includes/template_top.php if I renamed the new files the same as the original?
Here is the site, I am just creating it now. I wanted to get the theme working first though.
Here is the adress ( look at the login, etc..)

You can change the file to match the line in catalog/includes/template_top.php or change the line in catalog/includes/template_top.php to match the file. Or you can change both of them to something else. The only thing that matters is that they match.

Your link to ext/jquery/ui/jquery-ui-1.8.6.min.js returns your host's default install page, so I assume that this file does not exist or is misnamed. Fixing that should solve your problem.

Jim

[Derek Lingo]

Thanks so much I had ext/jquery/ui/jquery-ui-1.8.6.custom.min.js instead of ext/jquery/ui/jquery-ui-1.8.6.min.js. It works now.

Is there anyway to make it so it's one color but with a border seperator?

[kymation]

You can do anything you want. I believe that the style is this one:

.productListTable tr.alt td {
  background-color: #ecf6fc;
}

Remove the background-color property and put in a border property. Given the way that this is set up, you might want to add a border-bottom to all lines, in which case it should be applied to .productListTable tr td instead of .productListTable tr.alt td.

Ah!, redmond (jquery-ui-1.8.6.css) default theme works perfectly.

If the redmond theme works, and the others don't, then you have done something wrong with the other themes. Read the instructions for adding themes again. I suspect that you did not extract the correct directory/folder for the new themes, or did not rename the CSS file inside that folder.

Thanks Jim.

I had trouble with a couple of themes the first time I tried them. Try downloading that theme again; it may be corrupted.

What does "the latest OS" mean? What version?

Hi only just seen this, I believe it was 2.3.1.

[kymation]

Log into your store Admin, then click on Tools, then Version Checker. What does that say?

[dyelotyarn]

I'm having a problem - when I use the ThemeRoller DevTool to adjust colors & stuff, everything looks good, then I download it - install it, and when I reload the page - my buttons turn wonky. You can see it here:  dyelotyarn.com/catalog (the cart contents & login buttons at the top right - the colors are right, but they aren't the right size or in the right place)
Also, I'm really impressed with how well this works!  It took me a bit to get it right but when I fixed my human error - it was simple & great!
Thanks!
Liz

I tried changing your site to a standard theme (several of them) and the buttons are still messed up. I don't see anything wrong with your header either. I'm wondering if this is a jquery incompatibility issue. Try downloading the latest version of jquery and the jquery UI and replace your site's copies. You'll need to change the version numbers on the new files or change the links in your template_top.php to match the files.

Please let us know if this works.

Jim
