Flotec Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have done that to, i.e changed both stylesheet and template_bottom.php like this: In file includes/template_bottom.php floats need to be cleared before the "bodywrapper" div close <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <!-- bodyWrapper //--> and css .clear { clear: both; } I put the ".clear" at the bottom of the stylesheet but I suppose I can put it anyware. Still the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flotec Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have solved it. What I did was this changes in stylesheet after "body": #bodyWrapper { background: #fff; } #bodyContent { background: #fff; } I have now a white background for the store but a background image outside the store at left and right. Case solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥toyicebear Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 It is fully possible to make a site like that, but you will have to change many files and add in some custom functionality.

Flotec Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Will the Category Box Enhancement add-on work for Osc 2.3.3 or are there some incompatibilities I should be aware of? It's a very nice contribution I used in my 2.2 shop. I remember it was discussed in Basic Design for 2.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 It can be made to work, but the boxes are totally different in 2.3.1+ than in 2.2 , so you will have to make a new box based on the 2.3.1 model and implement the code from the wanted 2.2 box into it. OR you can modify the default categories box from 2.3+ with teh code from the 2.2 box.

olgapach Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The left column on my site gets unformatted only in one of my products catalog, I've reviewed the description, but I can't find anything that makes it happen.

inkdork Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Forgive if I missed this somewhere- I did several searches first. I am looking to make the center column continue all the way down the length of the page to meet the footer, even on "short" pages. If you click on any of my items, you'll see it. http://kittyloafdesigns.com/shop/index.php I'm also wondering how to remove (or change to white) the light blue border around the boxes in the left column and across the colored bar below the logo image. I had other questions, but did some reading and answered them myself. :) Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkdork Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 @@toyicebear I checked that thread (and the one it links to) and followed the guides. I added the "clear" div to the template_bottom.php file in the correct place, and saw this this is already in my "960" (replaced this CSS with a same grid but wider columns as per earlier in this thread). .clear { clear: both; display: block; overflow: hidden; visibility: hidden; width: 0; height: 0; } I also tried adding the .clear { clear: both; to my css file in the catalog directory but neither seems to have any effect on the problem. Not sure sure if I am screwing this one up or not. :-/ Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkdork Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I implemented styling for a background color on the bodywrapper and readjusted the width and positioning of my footer. This isn;t what I initially was going for, but 1) its working and 2) it looks pretty close to what I wanted. Thank you for your help. Even if I didn;t solve the problem exactly as I had first hoped, I did learn a little more about the backend today. :) Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycountryhaven Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I looked through the thread and did not see this listed anywhere. I have been playing with adding a large image below the header. I basically just modify the TEXT_MAIN in the index.html. I possibly even thought about having two main pics below the header. I would like to link each image to a particular product listing, as in image one will point to the birdhouse product listing and image two will go to the dolls product listing, the same as if they had picked those selections in the categories. Normally, in my html code I would just put in a link to the html code, but I don't think that's how it works here in php. Any advice would be appreciated. My website is www.mycountryhavenstore.com/catalog if you wish to see what I have so far. Images HAVE NOT been added yet under the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Never mind, silly me....it's the same way you link a picture in normal html...for some reason I thought it would be done differenlty. It usually is done "differently". If you create anchors in osC without using the tep_href_link php function you run the risk of losing the session ID (and dumping the cart. logging the customer out, etc.) You seem to be counted among the fortunate that this isn't the case with your site. :thumbsup: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

dhooper Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Someone recommended asking my question here (I've asked it before in a different area)... I want to make a ui button that will link to an external site. So far, I have: <?php echo tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_SHOW); ?> The button shows up on the page, but I don't know how to make the link. Does someone know how to do this? Just so you know, I was only able to figure out how to make the button by editing one from a contribution; but it, of course, points to a file within the catalog. ---- Edit I can't delete the post, but I wanted to let you know that I received my answer. Here is how to make the button to link to an external site: <?php echo tep_draw_button('Visit Yahoo', 'extlink', 'http://www.yahoo.com', NULL, array('newwindow' => true)); ?> Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcextreme Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hello, my name is Glenn, i am a web designer/developer, i specialize in coldfusion, but im learning PHP. I went to college for e-commerce and design. Sorry if this sounds like a resume, i just want to inform you guys of my background. I use the following: Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator, Encore, etc. Anyway, i recently got into the Vinyl Graphics business, i bought a cutter and have been designing and cutting decals and signs, etc. I don't do this full time, yet. After i got out of college in 2004, the economy sucked, and i got a job doing something else i like to do, building and working on stuff, i build and work on automated packaging machines that get shipped out all over the world. In my spare time ive been working on websites for local companies and organizations, and doing vinyl work for them. Anyway, i want to expand my web design and vinyl graphics business, so i started up with this osCommerce cart, to sell stuff online. I need some major help with tweaking my design and layout. Ive read through this thread and others, and even worked a bit with the ThemeSwitcher addon. Things i need help with, simple stuff that i must be overlooking on how to do: You can view my setup here: http://www.gcextreme.com/catalog/ 1. Change the light blue table/outline around everything. I already worked a bit with changing the blue buttons to a grey, but i want a Black/Red/White/Yellow setup. 2. Store Logo and top 3 buttons, i want change the layout. Right now my logo is to the left, and is tall, making the 3 buttons (Cart, Checkout, My Account) stay at the top leaving dead space below it. I want to have those buttons on the bottom, at the top of the horizontal bar, and then expand my logo for the full width of the top area, if this is possible. 3. I want to add more info pages, like an About Us Page, etc... Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
