toolcrazy Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Are you talking about a boarder around the whole store? Steve ------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 hey There, if you go to http://www.bedroomtoys.org/catalog/default...lt.php?cPath=61 (be nice, I am still working on it and it is my first) I would like to put a border around every white box on the page.

zathrus Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 take a look in catalog/stylesheet.css (if you're directories are the same) you may need to add your own peice to this but don't ask me, I'm new to CSS. www.php-princess.net has some basics on doing similar stuff in css, but it might get complicated if you don't really know osc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolcrazy Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Read through this breakdown, it explains what all the stylesheet.css does. http://wiki.oscommerce.com/helpHowtoStylesheetCatalog .infoBox { background: #b6b7cb; } This is what you need to change.

yzenezy Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Have a look at :arrow: http://guide.oscdox.com/ under How_To_Section->Stylesheet_Edits for a good run down on each setting.

Brenden Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 hey There, if you go to http://www.bedroomtoys.org/catalog/default...lt.php?cPath=61 (be nice, I am still working on it and it is my first) I would like to put a border around every white box on the page. The sides and the middle where the products are. Thanks :wink: The following will show how to change the width of the border around your white boxes and changes its color. The width of the borders is controlled in the file includes/classes/boxes.php around lines 74-82 you will see this class infoBox extends tableBox { function infoBox($contents) { $info_box_contents = array(); $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $this->infoBoxContents($contents)); $this->table_cellpadding = '1'; $this->table_parameters = 'class="infoBox"'; $this->tableBox($info_box_contents, true); } specifically you are looking for this line: $this->table_cellpadding = '1'; change the 1 to 5 and you will get a 5px border instead of a 1px border To change the color of the border you have to open stylesheet.css in your catalog directory look for this code: .infoBox { background: blue; } The color in your css file may be different or in hex code. Simply change the color value to the desired value. Perdure - Transparent Object Relational Persistence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varnco Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 A semi-hijack of this thread, for a quick moment. So, if I wanted to put a box around the area where my products list on my site, I would go in and change the CSS for the border, similar to what you described?

tec Posted May 2, 2003 Author Share Posted May 2, 2003 Just a note: You need to optimize your images. After 1 minute of download time, I gave up. I had no idea it took that long, I thought I optimized the heck out of them already. Man, thats 250 products. Is there another way of doing this that you know of? I though I remembered someone telling me setting the http snd https, apparently if you set it one way it takes longer for your cart to load. Something like if both were set to the same or something. Mind you, I could be completely lost, in which case, I am right on track. :) TO ALL THE OTHER REPLIES..... :o After reading through everyones post, I think I realized that I forgot to define a width on it, I will check it out. I put the border on both the info box in the CSS but it did not work, this is what leads me to believe I missed a field somewhere.

Dial up surfers are going to hate it. You header shouldn't be more that 20k and the small image shouldn't be larger than 7k . I'm just saying that you have more work to do. Check out a contrib called big images, check it out. Steve ------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 thanks steve will do. I am still in the process of reading up on how to take out the 'new items' images. I dont want that many on the first page. Come to think of it, I dont want any in there right now. Hey can I control what is put inthere? :?

orchard Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 You can control how many items are put there in the admin. In the Configuration->Maximum Values, edit for New Products Module. You can control which products are displayed there by editing the date added field using phpMyAdmin or a contribution. Paint Shop Pro has some batch processing which might help if you need to do conversions on 250 images.

tec Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 alrighty, thanks everyone. I got the new products down to 3, :) I got the images omtimized again, using batch in PSP. :) now...I am a little lost on this PHPMyAdmin. I am assuming, I can go download it somewhere. Is this another open source project? Should I be doing some research before I dive into this a try to fix the dates on the products? Or should I be steering clear being a PHP intern! :stupid: soory, been dying to use this smiley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchard Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I'm new to phpMyAdmin too. It's in the control panel or similar web administration site of many hosting companies. It shows you all the tables in the database and you can edit things directly there. The osC admin lets you edit some of the database, phpMyAdmin lets you edit all of it. I don't know how to choose to have no image in the admin after you have chosen an image. In phpMyAdmin you can, edit the image name or NULL out the database entry.

Guest Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I am a graphic design consultant and upload all images at 72dpi. This is one of the first things you learn in school. The reason why you upload at 72dpi is because your (or atleast most) monitor cant produce anything above it! Photoshop does this easily. Other programs do too.

orchard Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I'm not aware of images having a DPI number. They have a pixel size, like 57x100 pixels. How many inches that is on screen depends on the monitor. I try not to have the images shrunk by the browser because that is wasting bandwidth. Your page will load faster if you shrink your images to the size they are going to be in Paint Shop Pro or equivalent.

tec Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hey, ya, a DPI is dots per Inch; how many dots of colour per inch in the image. I will check out the PHP admin where you suggested and see what I can get my fingers into . thanks a bunch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 I think the other problem is with resizing is, if I shrink them to be the size of teh small view image, than they are not big enough to see well when they click for larger view. I tried doing this and setting the heights to 150 and it just was not big enough, ( 150 was the full view image size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchard Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hey, ya, a DPI is dots per Inch; how many dots of colour per inch in the image.I know, but digital images are dimensionless (no inches), they just have dots with no specified size of the dots.

We had already increased our small images to 96x144 and decided to just get rid of the click to enlarge link.
