    Gift Certificates - different Shipping Rate

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Hi Helen

    If you want the true weight to be shown for any cheese orders, it is prob best to set the actual weight of the boxes of cheese. ie if you set them all to 2KG and a customer orders 2 x 5KG boxes, for example, it would only show 4KG on the checkout page if they were all set to 2KG. If you do have any boxes that weigh under a kilo, you can make a small hack to the By Weight module. As it is, it will only use values greater than 0. Then you could set the shipping to 0:0.50, 9999:9.50

    Gift Certificates - different Shipping Rate

    in Technical Help

    Hi Helen

    You might be better to use the By Weight shipping module. In the Gift Certificates module, you can set the weight. Set this to 0 and in the shipping module set the value 1:0.50, 9999:9.50. Now, I am presuming that the boxes of cheese will weigh over 1KG? If so, that is ok but you will need to enter a weight value in add/edit product to all of your products. You could set all the cheese to just 2KG (Even if a box weighs 5KG), as the previous values will set shipping to 50p, up to 1KG and anything over (Up to 9999KG), to £9.50. The high figure (9999KG) just makes it 'any weight' as it is pretty unlikely that any order will weigh over this. If you just ship to the UK, set the value GB in Zone 1 Countries: in the shipping module. If a box of cheese does weigh under a kilo, still set it to 2KG or it will only charge your customer 50p postage. Also, you will need to disable your Flat Rate shipping module.

    Hope that helps

    How do i create a clickable link on my homepage?

    in Technical Help

    Posted

    Hi

    Highlight the text you want to link and click the Insert/Edit Link button in the RTE and enter the link address.

    You could go one step further if you prefer, by embedding the video into your webpage, rather than just the link.

    <object width="300" height="193"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/3sO8grMhvLk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/3sO8grMhvLk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="300" height="193"></embed></object>

    Just replace the link you made, inside the <p> tags with the code above. To change any parameters etc, go to the video on YouTube, click 'embed' and here you have options to choose size, colour, etc. Then just copy the code from the box and replace the other.

    Search function acting funny

    Hi Josh

    I think there is an update for the search feature in the latest version, 4.4.3. Get the diff report and find the change made for includes\content\viewCat.inc.php . I don't know if it will sort your particular problem out, but give it a go anyway....nothing lost :)

    "There are no products in this category."

    This is normal. Because you just have subcategories in the parent category, and no products, the message shows. You can delete it via the languages/en/Front End Phrases/content/View Products/Subcategories Page/no_prods_in_cat. Click Modify Language File and the message should go.

    When you add or edit a category or subcategory, there is an option to Browse/ upload an image for the category or subcategory.

    size button

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Here is how to make a Size, Drop-down box.

    Click Product Options from the menu in Admin Panel.

    In the box under Option Name, type Size. Leave the Type as Default (This is the drop-down). Then click Add Option.

    When the next 'box' drops down, type Small in the box under Option Attribute. Click Add Attribute.

    Repeat this for all other sizes.

    Now, you can assign the options to a product or products in the next box. You will need to repeat it for EACH option OR you can assign them on the product page itself. ie, View Products, choose a product, click edit and you will see a product options box you can assign them to. You can also add or subtract an amount. For example, if size XXL costs more than Small, you can set it to add £2 to the price. If all sizes are the same price, there is no need to worry about it..

    If you want to then add Colour, just repeat the operation, starting from the top (Box no 1), then add the colours in box 2 etc, etc.

    Hope that helps,

    Incl in latest prod - default to No?

    Hi Josh

    Open admin > sources > products > index.inc.php and find this block of code

    	<select name="showFeatured" class="textbox">

        <option value="1" <?php if(isset($results[0]['showFeatured']) && $results[0]['showFeatured']==1) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>><?php echo $lang['admin_common']['yes'];?></option>

        <option value="0" <?php if(isset($results[0]['showFeatured']) && $results[0]['showFeatured']==0) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>><?php echo $lang['admin_common']['no'];?></option>

      </select>
    

and change it to this



    	<select name="showFeatured" class="textbox">

        <option value="0" <?php if(isset($results[0]['showFeatured']) && $results[0]['showFeatured']==0) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>><?php echo $lang['admin_common']['no'];?></option>

        <option value="1" <?php if(isset($results[0]['showFeatured']) && $results[0]['showFeatured']==1) echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>><?php echo $lang['admin_common']['yes'];?></option>

      </select>

    Now when you add a new product, the default should now be 'No'

    Hope that helps

    Moved cart to new host

    in Technical Help

    Hi

    I think your .htaccess file needs setting up. Go to the bottom of your General Settings page and click the install .htaccess button. Try viewing your products again and if it doesn't work, follow the instructions on the left, to make one manually.

    Hope that helps.

    Redirect Logo to Hompage (Link)

    in Customising Look & Feel

    Posted

    Hi

    It's pretty straight forward to do. I found the best way is to create a link, and style it using a new style (.topHeaderImg), to the same size as your logo. You could of course write the style straight into it.

    Open skins / classic / styleTemplates / global and open both cart.tpl and index.tpl. Find this....

    <div id="pageSurround">

	<div id="topHeader">
    

Edit the code, adding <a class="topHeaderImg" href="index.php"></a> like so ON THEM BOTH



    <div id="pageSurround"><a class="topHeaderImg" href="index.php"></a>

	<div id="topHeader">
    

Open your layout.css stylesheet. Copy the following style and add it to your stylesheet.



    .topHeaderImg {

	float: left;

	width: 200px;

	height: 60px;

	outline: none;

}

    Your 'logo' should now link back to your homepage. You can change the width & height values on the stylesheet to 'accomodate' the size of your logo. These should be ok for your store ali_yk6.

    Ps I have tested this on Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome & IE8 and it works, but not on IE7 (And probably 6, not tested), but then again when does IE ever do anything every other browser manages without any problem!?

    Note: This post is for this particular website. Some small adjustments may be needed for it to work on your own. If you need any help, PM me.

    Logo shows twice in Internet Explorer

    Hi Josh

    Yes, that code you posted is fine. The dev tool for Internet Explorer is as bad as the browser itself!! I have noticed that you have no opening body tag, it has been commented out. In your source it looks like this from the closing head tag to where the topHeader opening tag is....

    </head>



<!-- Josh removing this line to remove subcat dropdown menu	<body onload="initialiseMenu();">		-->

	<div id="topHeader">
    

Try uncommenting it and see if it makes any difference, it should do. If you don't want the subcat menus to show on mouseover, set Use expanding DHTML category tree? to No, in your General Settings. Still, it should have at least <body> put in.



There are other errors as well. In your source code about line 2038, there is an extra </div>. Some code has been commented out again, but not including the closing div. This is what your code looks like...



    		<!-- Josh Bassan is removing this box from the store <div class="boxTitleRight">Discounted Prints</div> -->

<!-- <div class="boxContentRight"> -->

	<ol>

				<!-- <li class="num"><a href="http://www.pdmpantiqueprints.com/store/index.php/By-Artist/Bartlett-W-H-/Andrew-Jackson/p_5.html" class="txtDefault">Andrew Jackson</a><br /> -->

		<!-- <span class="txtBoxSave">Save $130.00</span></li> -->

		

	</ol>

</div>

    The last div has not been commented out.

    Hope it helps

    ps. The white background has gone from the menu in IE7

    Hi

    It looks like the problem is IE8, looks ok in IE7.

    It is probably an extra closing div </div> at the end of your search form. Can you post the code on your global / index.tpl from <div id="topHeader"> to just before <div id="pageSurround">

    Another thing I noticed in IE7, is a white background behind the menu list, instead of the tan colour.
