  1. You can use multiple template files begining with STS v1.8 read through your README.txt file, and the instructions are under "using multiple template files". If you need more help, come on back and ask again. As far as image sizes go, you can change the image sizes in your admin directory ( http://www.YOURSITEURL.com/catalog/admin/ ) under configuration> images.
  2. I've got a brick & mortar store, so I fully understand about being busy this time of year. If you'd rather wait until after the first of the year, I can wait. I know that we'll still be extremely busy until about the 10th of January, plus there are other things I can be doing with the site. Thanks for keeping me updated, and have a Merry Christmas yourself.
  3. STS will call the stylesheet, you need to use the full link url i.e. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.**YOUR-SITE-URL**.com/catalog/stylesheet.css"> I did have to do some messing around in the stylesheet.css to make it work, and make sure to add the class= to the relevant html (it sure was an embarassing day when I forgot to do that). The font tags just don't cut it, so forget about them. Keep working with it, and you can make it work. If you keep having issues, post back with your site url and ?ber specific details.
  4. I think what ppollock is trying say deserves a little more explanation. The /catalog/includes/sts_template.html controls what is shown at http://www.whatsursign.com/catalog/index.php Your visitors actually never see the sts_template.html. That being said, you can use the sts_template.html and /catalog/index.php together to see what the sts_template.html does control. Use two web browsers, or have two tabs open in one browser. Point one browser/tab to http://www.whatsursign.com/catalog/ and the other browser/tab to http://www.whatsursign.com/catalog/include...s_template.html now when you switch between the two, you can see $cataloglogo shows up as your catalog logo and $categorybox shows up as your categories infobox. It might be easier to think of sts_template.html as a map that you can change to direct how you want your catalog to look. So when you edit and alter sts_template.html review your work at http://www.whatsursign.com/catalog/index.php And as always, be sure to make backups before you change or alter anything. Com'on back with any more questions, and have fun.
  5. Good advice except that what I want to change happens within $content and is not controlled by the STS template.
  6. I don't think I was clear enough with charmdiva, either that or she's already bailed out for the holidays and is taking a media fast. Charmdiva, I'd love it if you were to share your notes and specifics on the changes you've made. That being said, I keep coming back and posting questions that I know have easy answers. It makes me feel like a fool, but I haven't done any coding or web design in a few years. So I'm more than a bit rusty. What I would like to do is have the "New products for *" be only two columns wide, and sit against the right side of the content area. I'd also like to place the text and price to the right of the product images, and have a simple sentence or two along with it. And then also sit off the bottom of the content area. Kind of frame this box on three sides with some white space, instead of just going edge to edge to edge. It makes the design look a little cramped, so I'm wanting to open it up a little more. Only thing is, I can't figure out how to make the changes. I'm pretty sure that the infobox is being made by catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php To see where I'm at and what I've done goto http://www.outerworldadult.com/catalog I still haven't put in the store content yet, so it's just osC default content, and things are more than a little rough. Also if there are any really glaring issues, please let me know.
  7. Sounds a bit tricky, but I'm more than willing to give it a go. Thanks charmdiva.
  8. Is there a way to have different images used for both the infoboxes and the main catalog? I use a dark background in the infoboxes and light background for the main catalog, for a higher contrast within the site. This means that if the same images are used for both infoboxes and the main catalog, I'll either have dark or light "jaggies", depending on the matte that I use for transparency. This is unappealing, and I would think the easiest solution would be to use two separate images. Can it be something as simple as storing the infobox images in a separate directory, and then making the appropriate changes within the related files?
  9. Yep, that worked for me. I knew it was something simple, and I was just being dense. Now I just have to figure out where $myaccountlogoff | $cartcontents | $checkout are referenced, and I can work on changing those as well. Once that's done, my header will be complete, and I can move on to the info boxes. I really like osCommerce and STS, but I just wish it were a little more intuitive. I tried that, but font tags were being ignored in favor of css. But I got it working now.
  10. Nope, that didn't work. I was really hoping it was something that simple though. I made a new class in the css file TD.breadCrumbs and still I can't change the color of the text. Oddly enough, I can't even change the text color with a font tag and the css tags removed. I'm really confused now.
  11. I'm stumped. I'm trying to change the text color in the header, and it's just not working. I've removed the font tags from the sts_template file. I've modified the css file to refect the changes I want. (oddly enough, I can change everything about the text except the color) I've given the absolute css url in the sts_template file. I've tried placing the css file in the /catalog/includes directory. The css code: TR.headerNavigation { background: #33FF66; } TD.headerNavigation { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #0044CC; font-weight: bold; } The html code: <tr class="headerNavigation"> <td class="headerNavigation" colspan="3"><div align="left"><img src="images/store/bluearrow.gif" height="18" width="20" border="0" alt=""> $breadcrumbs </div></td> </tr> <tr> What am I missing? I know it's got to be something simple, but it's been two days now, and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. TIA
