Can I remove some of the boxes?

[Guest Rivian]

I was wondering if I could remove some of the boxes that don't apply to my store.

Help?! :D

[Guest clothahump]

If you go to skins/[skin name]/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl you will see this,

<div class="colLeft">

{CATEGORIES}

{RANDOM_PROD}

{INFORMATION}

{CURRENCY}

{LANGUAGE}

</div>

<div class="colMid">

{PAGE_CONTENT}

</div>

<div class="colRight">

{SHOPPING_CART}

{POPULAR_PRODUCTS}

{SALE_ITEMS}

{MAIL_LIST}

</div>

Remove the Boxes you do not want.

You ROCK!!! Thanks!!

I want to move the menu items (additional pages) from laying out across the top

into a left side box.

http://www.specializedsaddles.com/ordershop/

I've done it - but the links will not show up.

Can someone give me some help on doing this - the box is named

site navigation.

Thanks in advance!

Okay - just to help anyone else who might be wanting to do what I wanted - I edited my customized skin - under boxes:

/public_html/ordershop/skins/Saddles/styleTemplates/boxes

<!-- BEGIN: site_docs -->

<div class="boxTitleLeft">Site Navigation</div>

<div class="siteDocs">

<!-- BEGIN: a -->

<a href="index.php?act=viewDoc&amp;docId={DATA.doc_id}" class="txtSiteDocs">{DATA.doc_name}</a>

<!-- BEGIN: sep --><span class="txtSiteDocs"><br></span><!-- END: sep -->

<!-- END: a -->

</div>

<!-- END: site_docs -->

added:

<div class="boxTitleLeft">Site Navigation</div>

right under

<!-- BEGIN: site_docs -->

changed the separator from a | to a <br>

<!-- BEGIN: sep --><span class="txtSiteDocs"><br></span><!-- END: sep -->

and moved 

{SITE_DOCS}

from the bottom of /public_html/ordershop/skins/Saddles/styleTemplates/global

to:

	<div class="colLeft">

	{CATEGORIES}

	{SHOPPING_CART}

	{POPULAR_PRODUCTS}

	{SALE_ITEMS}

                {SITE_DOCS}

	{MAIL_LIST}

	</div>

It's not exactly what I wanted as I would like to to be bulleted and had tried:

<!-- BEGIN: site_docs -->

<div class="boxTitleLeft">Site Navigation</div>

<div class="siteDocs">

	<ol>

<!-- BEGIN: a -->

  <!-- BEGIN: li -->

  <li class="bullet"><a href="index.php?act=viewDoc&amp;docId={DATA.doc_id}" class="txtSiteDocs">{DATA.doc_name}</a>

<!-- BEGIN: sep --><span class="txtSiteDocs"><br></span><!-- END: sep -->

  <!-- END: li -->

<!-- END: a -->

	</ol>

</div>

<!-- END: site_docs -->

but this is what was making my box blank (no data).

Looking at the difference in coding files between

/public_html/ordershop/includes/boxes/siteDocs.inc.php

&

/public_html/ordershop/includes/boxes/categories.inc.php

(which includes the bullets in the file), I was afraid I'd really mess it up!

It is now showing up (minus bullets)-- I'll mess with the rest of the stuff in the .css file for font's etc.

If anyone has suggestions for editing to include bullets - please jump in!

<!-- BEGIN: site_docs -->

<div class="boxTitleLeft">Site Navigation</div>

<div class="siteDocs">

<ol>

<!-- BEGIN: a -->

<li class="bullet">

<a href="index.php?act=viewDoc&amp;docId={DATA.doc_id}" class="txtSiteDocs">{DATA.doc_name}</a>

</li>

<!-- BEGIN: sep --><br /><!-- END: sep -->

<!-- END: a -->

</ol>

</div>

<!-- END: site_docs -->

Try that - to give it to you in a list. Replace your current /public_html/ordershop/skins/Saddles/styleTemplates/boxes/siteDocs.tpl with the above. You shouldnt have been changing things not in the skins directory - you can mess the store up if your not careful.

Let me know how you get on.

[Guest]

That did it - http://www.specializedsaddles.com/ordershop/

Now I have to go mess with the .css and see why my fonts are small - THANK You!

[Guest Oscgfx]

kaelin make sure you have a class in your stylesheet called bullet. Im not sure if there is a bullet class as default.

[Guest]

Thanks - the bullets were there - the font size for the site nav was set to 75% - which I changed to 100% - now all is the same - thanks for your help!

http://www.specializedsaddles.com/ordershop - it's starting to look pretty good :^^:

[convict]

it's starting to look pretty good

yes, starting but in FireFox are blank lines between site docs names because of truly applicable CR for <li> tag. IE ignores <li>s CR, FF neither.

[Guest vrakas]

Check also the Mailing List at the bottom as it has lines above and next to it

It looks like arabic language in a very small font (No offence)

Yes it does look very nice :P

[Guest]

Yes- and by the search - I noticed that after the upgrade to 3.0.1 but haven't tracked it down yet - I will of course, but it's low priority in terms of getting the rest of it done --

yes, starting but in FireFox are blank lines between site docs names because of truly applicable CR for <li> tag. IE ignores <li>s CR, FF neither

Yes - that was on list - I just removed

<!-- BEGIN: sep --><br /><!-- END: sep -->

and it fixed it - looks right in both browsers now. Was a little worried since the sep was in the siteDocs.php file it might mess something up - but I don't see it yet if it did.

I did notice again after the arabic character comment that in FireFox on the mailing list it's showing little bitty dashes i/o Join Now, while it's displaying correctly in IE (for the button) - so on to figure that one out

Thanks for input.

[Guest]

I figured it out - my error -- when I was working on the site docs (they were set at 75%), and they needed to be same size as others - I accidentally let off part of the percentage - all fixed.

[Guest moxie]

Couldn't you just use CSS to hide the boxes if you didn't want it permanent?

display: none;

Just a thought... haven't tried it myself yet :^^:

[Guest]

IMO - it's easier to just remove for instance {SALE_ITEMS}

rather than messing with the css - but I guess it would be to each his own - I know that I'm barely comfortable with .css and that the store I'm working on is my first attempt to control images, etc with them.

I just removed {SALE_ITEMS}

since there aren't sale items - and move some of the variables from the right to the left and others that I didn't want there (i.e. currency, language) - and it was easy.

Just my 2 cents :^^:

Hi

This for removing boxes anyone know how to add a new one?

Please

[Guest vrakas]

Perform a search as it has been posted many times in the past :P

[Guest swifter_uk]

Perform a search as it has been posted many times in the past

I cannot find any conclusive method for adding additional boxes, despite searching with various words!! :D

[Guest]

There's probably a better way to do it, but I just used one of the boxes that I didn't need and changed the contents of it to say what I wanted. I think it was under skins/killer(or whatever skin)/styleTemplates/boxes.

[Guest vrakas]

Hi swifter_uk and jbeyler, yes i think this is better.

Ok then here it goes:

look at template styleTemplates/global/index.tpl under your prefered skin folder, open it and modify.

add code after {INFORMATION}

<div class="boxTitleLeft">YOUR HEAD LINE</div>

<div class="boxContentLeft">

ENTER HERE THE CONTENT YOU WISH

</div>

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

This works as it has been tested :D

[Guest swifter_uk]

Many thanks vrakas, you saved me many hours of searching :D

[Guest vrakas]

You are welcome swifter_uk ;)
