You arre entirely correct, he gave you one way to fix the similar issue in latest products. To repair your problem, all that is necessary to do is look in layout.css and increase the height setting on .subcat class (not .subcats, but .subcat) Depending on CubeCart version, there may not be a height setting there yet and you will have to add it. Something like this: .subCat { text-align: center; padding: 8px; float: left; width: 110px; height: 50px; } 50 pixels is RARELY enough height here. If your images are greater height than 32 pix and you have long titles, the subcats will overflow their containers and "hang up" on each other wile trying to float left. Add height there and experiment with that setting until it looks perfect. By the way, the same exact fix applies to the latest products problem.

IE, through version 6, is probably the worst browser for correctly rendering css, so most of the designers and skins coders I know use a different browser, usually FireFox, to work with when coding their site, then use the design-coding tricks that make IE render it properly. Cross-browser compatibility is something I work at almost daily. A site that looks great in IE but awful in other browsers is usually a poorly-coded site, because IE will ignore width and heigth settings on divisions, for instance. It is often much more difficult to repair a site that looks good in IE but awful in all other browsers, than to fix one that looks good in all browsers except IE. Here are some very general rules of thumb (there are always exceptiuons): 1. If the site looks good in IE but bad in other browsers, look for problems in the code. The code will usually contain many errors that IE simply ignores. 2. If the site looks good in other browsers but bad in IE, look for tricks that fool IE into rendering the page properly. These are general guidelines about how to approach your problems, for any more specific advice you have to give a url to the site and speak about a specific problem.

Sure, look in the file skins/Legend/styleSheeets/layout.css Open the file with a text editor, and find near the top this code: margin: 0px auto; Change it to read: margin: 0px; ~ or ~ margin: 0px 10px; Explanation: The "0px" tells the browser to put no empty margin space at the top or bottom of the page. The "auto" tells the browser to divide the open space for margin evenly on the left and right sides, effectively centering the site. Leaving off the "auto" causes the margin to be set to zero all around, so by default the site will be aligned to the left with no space at all on the left side. Using the last combination, "0px 10px;" will still align the site to the left by default but will put 10px of space between edge of the site and the edge of your screen.

In your browser . . . View > Source to see the html For the css, best is to use a good browser like FF with the web developer extensions, and use view css button. There are other little tricks, too. Chances are if you don't understand how to view source, you probably don't understand enough about coding to use what you see, but hey, ya have to start somewhere Good luck

I can only assume you do not know how to write html/css No, you do not create box tempolates of the type you mention, unless you know how the xtemplate system works with php - tghose templates are driven by php files. I have given you, in brevity, the three types of styles you can write to add property styles to html elements, with examples of external stylesheet method and inline styles method. You can use the inline styles when writing html code IN GLOBAL INDEX.TPL You can also use the external stylesheet IN GLOBAL INDEX.TPL because it is already called there . . . so you can code a box in html there and use classes - and you can create and define classes in the stylesheets. Sorry if this is not clear to you, it is the best I can do to explain without writing a book. Please look at my website if you can find it for free tutorials that may help, and please go to w3schools.org for tutorials in css and html.

You have this: .subCat { text-align: center; padding: 8px; float: left; width: 110px; height: 50px; } Set here: http://www.systekuk.co.uk/shop/skins/Kille...eets/layout.css You need to change the 50px height setting to 75px or 80px, whatever ~ it needs to be increased to stop the floating subcats from hanging up on the (0) that appears under Graphic Cards. You can probably edit the dropdown html form code in your skin files, styleTemplates/content/cart.tpl

Groovejuice is right, this image, http://gaming-station.co.uk/skins/Legend/s.../boxTitleBg.gif is now showing in the store, so I have to assume you found the error, which almost certainly must have been a syntax error created when you removed borders Lost a semicolon, or didn't remove the full line for the border code, or something simple like that. It happens often when you are editing the code. I have to confess that I find it strange you would even use an image there, as you could easily set a backgound color for the division and save a small bit of bandwidth and page load time for some customers. Good luck with the store.

What links are you asking about? The "useful links" box, or in case of Killer, "useful links" tabs? To remove that, delete or "comment out" the following code: {CART_NAVI}

Doesn't really matter where you code it. ~ External stylesheet (layout.css, style.css) ~ Internal stylesheet (in the HEAD section of global/index.tpl and/or global/cart.tpl) ~ Inline styles (directly where the divisions are added into the code in body of document) Best prqactice is probably to do it in the stylesheets. That way, you can make any and all later style shanges in ONE place for GLOBAL effect. That is the whole reasoning behind using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS for short). external stylesheet In layout.css, find where styles are given for boxTitle and boxContent -Right or -Left classes. Copy these to create new classes, as many as you want. Example, you could have a: .boxTitleCategories .boxTitleSaleItems .boxContentLinks .boxContentLiveHelp Whatever you want, sky is the limit. Then when code the divisions into your templates, use the appropriate class name for the effect you want. inline styles Using inline styles is not the best long-term way to publish your code. I use them all the time while writing html and developping, experimenting, but usually move most of the styles into ann external sheet to polish it off. At any rate, here's how to do it: <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 70%; color: #09347C; background-image: url(../styleImages/backgrounds/boxTitleBg.gif); width: 155px; height: 15px; padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 1px;">Box Title Name</div>

We are not allowed to add links like that in here. Look at http://cubecart.org in the Show-off forum and you will see a thread showing off this store :)

Just download the entire zip file containing containing the CubeCart installation files. Open it up and find the language files along with other store files in the upload folder within the archive.

Well, it looks like we missed a question from reb_76 back in August I'm going to answer that one now, in case someone else with Killer skin finds this thread. To add an extra Killer tab with custom link, you have to copy a whole block of code. Here is the block of code that makes the homepage tab: <td class="topCatsTabLeft">&nbsp;</td> <td class="topCatsTabMid"><a href="index.php" class="txtCat">{LANG_HOME}</a></td> <td class="topCatsTabRight">&nbsp;</td> You need to copy that entire block to make a new tab, and change the parts in red ~ <td class="topCatsTabLeft">&nbsp;</td> <td class="topCatsTabMid"><a href="link.URL" class="txtCat">Link Name</a></td> <td class="topCatsTabRight">&nbsp;</td>

What you see are mostly layout changes, you would make the changes in skins/xx/styleTemplates/content/viewProd.tpl If you have a very good understanding of how to write HTML and CSS and a working knowledge of CubeCart structure, you can do this. If all you know of web design is using a wysiwyg editor to create pages, this will be a little difficult for you, because youu will have to knnow some coding to integrate your wysiwyg creation with CubeCart code.

You must forget about trying to force your visitor's browsers to a different screen resolution If you could accomplish that, you would only make your visitors angry and they would not buy from you anyway. The key is to DESIGN your site so that it looks good in all screen resolutions. Your goal is to have it looking great to anyone who visits your site without trying to "hi-jack" their browser . . . don't run any scripts that change browser settings or play music that your visitor hasn't consciously chosen. Trust me on this. If you need help on a SPECIFIC issue, post your specific question in this forum and give a link to your site so that we can see for ourselves what the problem is. The alternative is to hire a web designer to make your site cross-browser compatible, and nice-looking at various screen resolutions.

Well, that is the point my friend, the convict, was making . . . Since the mess is in IE, he gave a fix that goes in the document head that concerns only IE, but works for all list items whether numbered or bulleted. To prevent having to edit multiple times and multiple files, I will offer this advice, rather than what we have already written above. At the bottom of style.css just place this code: li { line-height: 1.3em; } Like convict's code, this will keep ALL your list items the same line-height, regardless of bulleted or numbered, and it simply instructs all browsers to use the same line-height. Change the actual measurement, 1.3, to suit.

I've answered your PM on this, enjoy

That is not stock CubeCart feature, requires a mod. There are some free ones and some really nice paid ones. Search for them at http://cubecart.org

Listen, there are rules that you are supposed to read when you register at a forum. The rules for this forum prohibit third party links in the forum, like the one you just placed. A moderator will soon be along to edit out that link. Skins are not for sale here. Visit http://cubecart.org for third party matters. And if you register there, please read the rules when registering PM will be sent too. AS TO YOUR PROBLEM, you are incorrect, you do not have the filepath right even now. That is what the error message is telling you. The missing XTemplate is supposed to be here: www. whatever .com/skins/skinName/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl If the path were correct, it would find index.tpl in the global folder. You have not installed this skin properly. I do not know and do not care who this provider is and what their web address is. I do know many third-party providers, and am one myself, and I know some that give excellent service. Please spend some time at cubecart.org browsing the sites and reading the reviews before purchasing on the web - just a word to the wise.

This is not the place to post questions about third-party products; this forum is only for official CubeCart software. I am not familiar with the product you mention, but I am familiar with the error. It appears you have made a mistake and uploaded the incorrect folder. You may have a double layer of folders: skins/skinName/skinName/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl I would be willing to bet that this is the cause of your problem. You must have, in the skins directory, one folder named with the skinn name, and immediately inside you should have these threee folders: styleImages, styleSheets and styleTemplates

In the root of the store, find the file cart.php add this: include("includes/boxes/categories.inc.php"); $body->assign("CATEGORIES",$box_content); Just below this: include("includes/boxes/cartNavi.inc.php"); $body->assign("CART_NAVI",$box_content); Once you have completed that step, you will be able to use {CATEGORIES} in global/cart.tpl

Hello, actually the code for that Join Now button is here: <input name="submit" type="submit" value="{LANG_GO}" class="submit" /> The class is .submit in your style.css file, and you can use an image there. You can search the web for how to use styles with form elements, this is what such a google search netted for me: http://www.google.com/search?q=style+with+form+elements With a basic understanding of html and css you can make this happen. Here is a CubeCart site that uses images for buttons throughout: http://www.thefiligree.com/eshop/

Exactly These are two good choices for different needs, and both are free mods, can't beat it. As crazy as it seems, I have plenty of customers registering daily and no need to bloat it with folk who may want a couple free downloads and nothing else :dizzy:

No problem, the site owner wants these forums clean of a bunch of third-party ads and bartering, so asking for custom stuff here opens the pandora's box sometimes. Thanks for understanding :dizzy:

Well, that's the way I've done it This is just basic html, but you have to edit each occurence in the appropriate .tpl file

no - no sales involved there, just an automated download link If you want to keep track of the people and stats, Sir William's mod was meant for that
