Latest Products and Subcategory Display Fix

and Are you expecting changes in the appearance of your store, or of your ACP? If the store, you need to make changes to the stylesheets in your skin. Admin folder stylesheets will only affect the appearance of the ACP. To edit the styles in your store, go to: skins/YourSkin/styleSheets

Are you refreshing the page after making changes? The lang file (and others) is prolly set to be included only once for the cart, so going to Home then back to the Cart to view changes doesn't cut it. You have to refresh the page each time you upload changes.

Doncha just love it I put a pretty matching border around your Contact Form over at cc3.biz, then decided to remove it because of the same problem If no one figures this out, I'm going to putz around with it another day :lol:

I had a peekaboo problem in IE after adding Estelle's Contact Form mod. The "Contact Us" title would not display. It was a very frustrating problem, but finally sorted out by specifying relative positions for both .boxContent in layout.css and .txtContentTitle in style.css Neither of these blocks have "float" associated with them in stylesheets, but in the templates here and there the "float" and "align" attributes are often used with them. Everything seems to be displaying fine now I would recommend adding "position: relative;" to these two classes in order to overcome similar problems anyone may be having in CubeCart.

:homestar:

In Dreamweaver, can you set the language at "XML" then tell it to treat files with .tpl extension as such? Was thinking earlier today I might put it on the LAN server here in my office. But if I get started on PHP and such, I'll never get any real (physical) work done :w00t:

Pardon me, didn't mean to step on your toes, Simpson @ darmarat, I was mistaken, but - well - you get the drift ;)

That one threw me for awhile, too It prolly shouldn't be shown there; it means someone has added something to the downloads area, and the file is waiting on admin approval . . . only Brooky can accept it, so don't waste time clicking on those ;)

Set-up Digital Downloads in CC3

Thanks, Cole, I didn't realize he had that mod for tabbed descriptions available - of both ccv.2 and ccv.3 :w00t:

Hi Alfonso, If my linguistic analysis is correct, Your products are too big to fit the layout of your store, and you want t know what to do to expand the space on the main pages of your store. Is this right? Don't bother answering, though, unless you can 1. Tell us what version of CubeCart you use, 2. Tell us what skin you are using, 3. give a link to your store so we can see for ourselves. ONE WAY to fix you problem is to use a smaller product image More questions: Are you using an online translators to translate your questions in English? What is your native language? Perhaps there is someone here who could help you in your native language ;)

Amefa, I'll try to be of assistance, though this is actually davscot's thread: The last time I looked, he had not altered brooky's copyright. I think the point of having his own copyright extends to product descriptions, site docs, etc. He should make that clear in his copyright info, I think, but I do see a reason for someone to add more copyright info. If you use the cart, you will be adding a great deal of your own copy :w00t:

Repeat: You do not need to edit that file - you're reading instructions for CCv2 Look at the top of this page. Near the log-in info, you'll see a link to License Keys CP, click and go there and follow instructions Welcome to the licensed users group, and thank you for supporting the CC developers! B)

Hellborn, while you're at it be sure to check your PM's. I sent one yesterday regarding this It's tough to notice PM's if you don't have pop-ups set in your profile, or if you have a pop-up blocker on your browser . . . you have to look at the top of the page where it says, "X New Messages" :w00t:

Uh-huh, the biggest drawback for me is not having the PHP and MySQL on a local machine to test changes. I keep the FTP humming when working on skins :rolly:

"Featured Product" is actually a random product, plain and simple. In the code and templates you'll see it referred to as randomProd "Popular Products" are the products on your site with the most page views.

Main homepage template: styleTemplates/global/index.tpl All center column content called in that file with variable {CONTENT} Look in styleTemplates/content/index.tpl to see where "Latest Products" information is coded in. In this template, you could change styles to actual Latest Prod info rather than changing globally - either with inline css or by naming a new class or two and defining in stylesheet. Look in your_server/shop_main_directory/includes/content/index.inc.php to find the PHP code behind Latest Prods. This can be useful even if, like me, you do not know PHP . . . As an example, you could change the path specified for Latest Prod images, so that the images come from uploads folder instead of uploads/thumbs, then you can set larger sizes for Latest Prod images in stylesheet. Not that you'd necessarily want to do that, but it is an example how even someone who does not know PHP can find things to tinker with without screwing up the works, if he knows a little css and xml coding. As to sepcifying LatProds, yes there are mods available. I cannot point you to them, look in mods and hacks section, or perform search for cc3 mods . . . HTH Mark

I like what you've done Without straying too far from the stock skin, you've managed to choose and implement a great color in the blue. Also, everything in your header, from the store name to the tagline to the images, shouts to the world what the website is about. Great job :rolly:

In style.css FIND: .txtContentTitle { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: #FF3300; } Here the font is defined for Latest Products title, and all similar titles through out site. You can change everything here. If you want to change the font of only Latest Prod title, not all other titles, then you need to use inline styles, or create a new class in stylesheet and change class in templates. Cheers, Mark

:rolly: <slapping myself against the head> Sorry, I was busy solving the same problem in latest products display IMO, the best way to solve this is to add a space beneath .txtContentTitle This will give you some space beneath all the main titles on your site. I do not like titles crowding content, so this is the way I would do it . . . the extra space will be seen beneath titles site-wide: In style.css FIND: .txtContentTitle { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: #FF3300; } ADD this line, between the color line and the closing curly bracket: margin-bottom: 10px; The new code should look like this: .txtContentTitle { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 110%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: #FF3300; margin-bottom: 10px; } Now, the "10px" is just a guess. You can adjust that number to adjust the amount of space that you have between the titles and the content. Higher the number, greater the space, vice versa If this does not work for you, or you'd rather have a different solution, let us know.

Some FTP programs have a setting, "change all filenames to lowercase?" So, your FTP program may be responsible. OTOH, your server is case-sensitive about file names, and I think PHP is too - so "contentbg.jpg" does not equal "contentBg.jpg" either to cubecart or to most servers.

Hi all! While we're airing opinions, I'll say that in my opinion CC3 is the best cart from a designer's perspective. Sorry that dreamweaver's wysiwig side doesn't work with it I think I've missed alot by not using any wysiwig programs over the years, I hear alot about dreamweaver But, chin up! It's probably good for Dreamweaver users to learn more about the code they've been manipulating, just as it would probably be good for me to learn about all the neat stuff you can do with mouse clicks in a wysiwig format :D

I have a few at http://cc3.biz/

Hi m-w-d! Did you make the changes to styleTemplates/content/index.tpl? Can you post a copy of the section you changed in styleTemplates/content/index.tpl?
