When I have the theme roller control box open and click on the gallery tab and when I click on the theme I like and click download, the entire control box turns black and nothing downloads......  I didn't install the whole theme roller package, I just uploaded developertool.js.php and developertool.php to my catalog folder. Anyone know where I'm going wrong? THanks

I've been playing around with some of these tips and I like the results.  Thanks for all the tips!

I love theme roller (finally managed to get it right 2nd time around) yet when I put in a theme my buttons do not change with the theme. Now I have no idea if I'm ding anything wrong or not (I will do it again if need be) but I wanted the mint-choc one...it has brown buttos.... mine stay grey.

Wow not only that but the admin part of it well.... went so bizzare. No more sections, just one long section that was not even fully on the page.

Guess I just suck at this & should stick to redmond

@Jacki , in an other post you said you us a template, that had the logo display removed.

Did you add a new theme to that template or to a default store? It may be that your template use images or who knows what else for the buttons

Regarding admin: You should not remove the redomnd theme, because that's used in admin. You can have as many themes you want side by side. In case you want the new theme for admin too, you need to change the path in admin/includes/template_top.php

@multimixer yeah I went back to the redmond one, simple for me cause I backed it up offline & then just FTP it back over. So then I instaled theme switcher not a problem even though it took me 2 tries. Then I put choc-mint one on from theme roller & it just was not right for some reason. I really just need someone to put it all on for me I think. I have to other one that I had backed up as well (one with the template I was using the 1st time that I got going good) and have that one installed now. I really do suck at this I guess I will try another time

@Jacki

If you need someone to do it for you, then you can post at the commercial support section

But to add a new theme it's really not hard to do. I have an illustrated example on my blog if you want to check this (link via my profile here). Themeschwitcher also work fine with no issues at all

I would suggest you do all your trials on a default install first

[Jacki]

@multimixer I keep trying, actually I'm at the 'in tears' point. Yep I'm female haha. I just gave up & went back to the one theme I knew I could install no problem

[Jacki]

I managed to get it working right this time, at the cost of my manufacture module (no big deal I think cause I dont have manufactures for my stuff) anyway in http://aussiecollectables.net/index.php?cPath=28_22it comes up where I cant read every 2nd line cause of the color. How can I make it all brown rather than white/brown/white/brown  I dont want the alternating part.


EDIT:Nope scratch that. Not only did it take away manufactures module, but systematically made each module remove on it's own.

I don't know why I can't get this to work for me. I'm not a total numbskull, I can read the manual. But for some reason it does nto like me. I'm almost ready to get rid of my store all together at this rate

Wow I could not even restore it from a backup. Seems as though not only did it break my modules, but my whole store. I had to start fresh

hi, i was wondering what people's thoughts are on the use of javascript in oscommerce?

i know the admin side doesn't function without it.

but for the front end, if javascript is disabled, what features are mainly weakened if no javascript is allowed by the browser?

the reason i ask is that i've been looking at various big clothing shops online and if you turn off the javascript, a lot of the site features become unusable, like tabs on the product information pages, and shopping cart features.

Yet, its commonly said that a website should first be designed to run without the need for javascript, and javascript/jquery should only be used to enhance it.

what are your thoughts on this? do you think its worth editing the 2.3.2 store to cope without javascript or this is an impossible and needless task?

would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.
thanks

Download the add-on, unzip it, read the documentation that comes in the zip file and follow the instructions in the documentation.

Hello everyone;

I need a little help. I did the theme roller and changed to le-frog. When you go and look at products it shows in green then white. The test though is also white so you cannot read it. Can someone tell me how to fix this little problem? I would just like to change the white box to a shade of green or change the text to black.

[multimixer]

@mikek1

in your fie catalog/stylesheet.css find

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

and change it to any color you like, or remove it. This rule set the alternate background color for the rows in product listing table

Hi, I downloaded oscommerce from fat cow and I am haveing issues trying to change color/font and inbox color. I went to your link to try and download themeroller and it says it can not be found? I am not sure of what to do next?

[cramli]

Hello Jim
I made the steps as you wrote to install a custom them.I downloadet the zip file and when I open it in the development-bundle section, there is no where a file such as jquery-ui-1.8.7......
The only file similar is "jquery-ui.css".
Also when I made the download from that file, there is only the Version 1.9 from Jquery. So my problem is, what I am doing wrong?

maybe you can help?

Best regards
and thank you

Marc

I followed your steps but when I get to the step I have listed below... There is no file in the le frog directory named jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.css
There is no file with any number at all.. Is there something else I can do?

• Open the le-frog directory (or whatever your directory is named) and look for a file named jquery-ui-1.8.7.custom.css. Change the name of that file to jquery-ui-1.8.6.css. Note: In some cases that file may already be named jquery-ui-1.8.7.css, in which case you have less to change. Again, the last digit of the number may be different.
