    I did notice the problem of your earlier thread when I visited earlier today, I'll look into it more for you. Been pressed for time.

    Well, just looked at your site and it seems you have it worked out, very good. ;)

    BTW, the design looks very, very goo, this will be a really nice site!

    At present, the bullets are outside the box in FireFox . . .

  2. It's not right to mention my url in this forum, it circumvents the rules, and I respect this forum an like helping out here. You might want to edit your post and remove the mention of it, even though it is not hypertexted. I would appreciate it. I have my site listed in my profile.

    I will try to be more helpful here by giving you a very quick nutshell tutorial. :on2long:

    In cartNavi.inc.php you have a different setup from categories. There are arrays which are paired to create the links, example:

    $links[] = array (

    'link' => "index.php",

    'text' => $lang['front']['boxes']['homepage']);

    The above creates the homepage link. What you would need to do is remove the language file reference in the second item of the pair (the part in red above) and replace it with html calling for your image. Here is the syntax:

    1. Use double quotes to begin and end the html and text code

    2. Do not use double quotes within your html or text, use single quote marks instead, unless you escape the double quotes as in \"

    3. do not remove the closing parenthesis and semi-colon at the end of the line.

    EXAMPLE:

    $links[] = array (

    'link' => "index.php",

    'text' => "<img src='url/to/image.gif' alt='Home' />");

    ;)

  3. OK, well if you look at Classic skin, you will see it has no boxFootLeft or boxFootRight image. So you lost it when you used the Classic code.

    This division: <div class="boxTitleLeft"> . . . the boxTitleLeft class selector is used with all three skins, but looks different in each. In Killer, you get the top image by using this selector. It is defined in layout.css file.

    In Killer, the bottom image is defined in a class selector of boxFootLeft, boxFootRight - there is none in Classic or Legend. I'm not sure how close you are following on all this, but here's the punchline:

    To fix this problem, add the following code JUST ABOVE the <!-- END: categories --> code:

    <div class="boxFootLeft">&nbsp;</div>

  4. I see now, that is easy enough. You would code that in includes/boxes/cartNavi.inc.php

    If you are familiar with my site, go there and get the tutorial on "Change the Homepage Links Throughout CubeCart" as it deals briefly with this file. Just use some html in the assignments in that file to acheive what you want :w00t:

  5. Ah, a worthless pursuit, only works for IE and it is not valid code.

    CubeCart uses html. It's the .tpl files. Also, the css for body tag is found in styleSheets/layout.css, you can do this there for the body tag styles.

    Tried it? Doesn't work? That's because CubeCart tries to use valid XHTML. You may need to change the doctype statement in global index.tpl and cart.tpl before IE will respond to the code (and remember, all this effort is wasted on the good browsers, as IE is the only one that will ever see your color changes).

    In a nutshell, there's your answer. HTH

  6. This is usually due to an image on the page from an external site, or any script that calls from another site. Such code will get you the nonsecure items message. Had you poste a url to your store, I might've been able to tell you what specifically causes your problem.

  7. Actually, I think that mod does not do what you ask, what it does is allows people to purchase without registering, hence "express checkout." The mod that requires registration as cc normally does, and cuts down checkout steps is named "quick checkout" and may not be found in the directory. Possibly a google search would turn it up, try googling cubecart quick checkout.

  8. It sounds like it may be, but I'm unfamiliar with the issue. What was the error message? It would tell you the name of the undefined function. That is where the problem lies, I suppose.

    Disabling GD would mean that no thumbs will be created automatically, simple as that.

    I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, IMO you need to RESTORE the GD settings, if you still get the error, copy down the entire error. Find out where the actual cause of this error is and correct the code. Disabling GD is not the answer; it may have been offered as a way to get the store back online temporarily, but that is not a solution.

  9. do you mean content/cart.tpl or global/cart.tpl?

    It is not hard to get a category id there, just assign it in the relevant php file, like includes/content/cart.inc.php

    -------------

    for those playing along at home, don't monkey with any of the files we write about in this thread without backing up the file with an original copy in case of errors.

  10. There are a lot of different properties between the free one and the commercial one. Last one offered free, I think, was by a member with username exchange3d I believe. The robust commercial mod you can find in the google search has alot of features you might want to look at, also at that site in tutorials section is a free tutorial on manipulating boxes in CubeCart 3 which can help with some tthings other than hiding site docs.

    hth :)

  11. Fantastic graphic work, I like it alot. I suggest changing the colors on the viewCat product list, the blues are ok but seem out of place, something that nmatches the rest of site is in order I think.

    Keep up the good work.

  12. Well, your friend has created an interesting template. Only two things are required to do this: A proficiency with writing html and css (playing with wysiwyg editor doesn't count, can you write html and css from scratch?), and a familiarity with CubeCart file structure and knowledge of how the skin coding works in CubeCart.

    Explaining in detail how to code the template into CubeCart would be a bit much :errm:

    There are plenty of posts in the forums to help you, though, and you could always send your friend to a third-party design developer for a quote; such work is usually worth a few hundred dollars, not so bad.

    I would not base this on an existing template, exactly. I'd probably take a Legend skin folder and rename it, then go to global/index.tpl and remove all code between <body> and </body> tags, then slice up the template images and being coding that file by hand, then move on to recode the other template files for categories, etc. etc. etc., a lot of work but worth it to have a unique cart appearance.

  13. There has been a great deal of rain here the past few days, it's interfered with several outdoor projects I had planned. But, I hurt my back on one of those projects Wednesday, so I suppose it just as well rain :)

    I think I'll have a beer and tidy up some mod code. :)

    Sorry for the mundane chit-chat, not much worthy of comment in this thread :)

    Anyway, it's been awhile, so here goes: I want to express my gratitude to Al and to all the admins & moderators and the regulars here who make this such a great forum. A round of brewskies on me, fellas :)
