[kylo]

very nice skin, are the downloadable files updated? or should we contact you for updates to this skin?

[vladnangelique]

It is a very nice skin! But ive ran into a few problems, and not sure if or how to fix them. On the homepage, the top center categories seem to lead nowhere, but most importantly, from the admin panel, i cannot appear to change the preset wording of the homepage. Perhaps i am doing something wrong? Other than my 'novice' abilities, I have to rate this skin with an A+++++++++.!

Hi

I've just made some changes to make it easier for modifying all sitedocs throughout the site.

The unique top navigation links can be easily edited both the

skins/RedThunder_V2/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl file
skins/RedThunder_V2/styleTemplates/global/cart.tpl file

What you need to do is create the sitedocs first within CC3 Admin =

Log into Admin
Navigate the left column down to "Documents" and click on "Site Documents"
Here you can edit and/or create/delete new sitedocs which you can then add to the top navigation bar and sitedocs at the bottom of all pages.
Create one or use one you already have there and call them whatever you like eg. "About Us"

Then you copy the url to where 'About Us' sits eg. http://yourdomain.com/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=1

That is the link you must paste into both the index.tpl and cart.tpl

ie.
skins/RedThunder_V2/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl file
skins/RedThunder_V2/styleTemplates/global/cart.tpl file

eg.

CODE

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li><a href="http://yourdomain/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=1" title="About Us">About Us</a></li>

Keep in mind that by doing this it will not cause the same sitedoc to duplicate at the bottom where the "sitedocs" sit.

If you would like to also add the same link to the bottom of the sitedocs and/or you create new sitedocs to be placed at the bottom of every page you will need to to go:

skins/RedThunder_V2/styleTemplates/boxes/siteDocs.tpl file

and modify/add/delete

CODE

<!-- BEGIN: site_docs -->
<div class="siteDocs">

<a href=http://yourdomain/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=1 class="txtSiteDocs" title="About Us">About Us |</a>

<a href=http://yourdomain/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=2 class="txtSiteDocs" title="Contact Us">Contact Us |</a>

<a href=http://yourdomain/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=3 class="txtSiteDocs" title="Shipping">Shipping |</a>

<a href=http://yourdomain/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=4 class="txtSiteDocs" title="Store Policy">Store Policy |</a>

<a href=http://yourdomain/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=5 class="txtSiteDocs" title="Terms &amp; Conditions">Terms &amp; Conditions</a>

</div>
<!-- END: site_docs -->

NB: When you create a sitedoc in Admin you will need to add this either to the index.tpl and cart.tpl for Top Navigation Links and/or siteDocs.tpl for Site Documents at the bottom of all pages.

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

Homepage Welcome Box

The reason you're not able to edit the "homepage" via CC Admin is because I have modified the actual box in index.tpl and commented the {HOMEPAGE} out which is found here....

skins/RedThunder_V2/styleTemplates/content/index.tpl file

CODE

<!-- BEGIN: index -->
<!--<span class="txtContentTitle">{HOME_TITLE}</span>-->
<div class="boxContentHome">
<br />
<h1>{HOME_TITLE}</h1>
<p>
Loren ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer<br />
Piscing elit, sed diam nonummynibh euismod lobortis<br />
Cidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat nisl<br />
Volutpat. Ut wisi enim and minim veniam ipsum dolor<br />
Tis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit<br />
Lobortis nisl ut aliqu Ut wisi enim dolore magna<br />
</p>

<br />
<!--{HOME_CONTENT}-->
</div>

You can see that between the <p></p> it is here where you can edit the actual text for Welcome Box ;-) [I have done it this way to give the box and text more styling ability via CSS]

Hope my instructions are clear enough.... i'm struggling trying to explain! LOL

If you need further help - you're most welcome to pm me.

Thank-you.

Kindest Regards,
Antz

PS: Will upload the newest version shortly.

Hi, I'm assuming you've included those instuctions in the download? This would be the best place for installation and customisation instructions

Also, perhaps check the way you've coded the box/siteDocs.tpl template with a shipped version. You seem to have hardcoded the path information for some reason.

Hi Robsta

Considering i don't have any php experience i have opted to take out the bottom sitedocs and have now added them to the top navigation bar so all hard-coded links are gone! easier for the user.

I will be uploading the newer version shortly ie. Version 3.

Kindest Regards,
Andrea

There is an easier solution, which you have overlooked. Move the controlling anchor to the global template rather than having it in the box template.

For example, in the template have:

<div id="headerdocs">{SITE_DOCS}</div>
and
<div id="footerdocs">{SITE_DOCS}</div>

In the siteDocs.tpl remove the surrounding DIV class so that styling has no effect. In the stylesheet have:

#headerdocs div li {}
#footerdocs div li {}

... or something like that. Simple

[FlairConcepts]

Thanks Robsta once again.

I guess that the problem i was having was that i wanted an extra set of SITEDOCS to work independently on the Top Navigation Bar which would differ from those at the bottom of all pages. I have an understanding of how to copy the sitedocs on the html and change styling except the extra sitedocs would also be controlled via CC Admin. I noticed after much searching and questioning that the only way this could be done is probably purchasing a mod so for this purpose i have opted to not use the "unique sitedocs on top nav bar" and instead have moved the normal sitedocs to the top.

Hi Everyone

Well i've revamped the "Registration and View Order tables"

If you have downloaded this theme, you just need to replace the reg.tpl and viewOrder.tpl


found here:
RedThunder_V3/templates/content/reg.tpl
RedThunder_V3/templates/content/viewOrder.tpl

Enjoy

This is very nice skin!
I love it, but I have one problem with it.
Please help me, I'm Cubecart beginner.
My non-square images (e.g. 100x150 px) are displayed like square,
so they are deformed.

Thank you for any helpful answer.

Hi Miroslav

Sorry for the delay... I've been in hospital as we've just become proud parents of a new baby girl

Anyways, yes your images will display 100x100px because that is the way i had set it up. To change this you will need to open up your layout.css and go to line 200 ie.

CODE

/*Latest Products on homepage based on Thumbs at 100px*/
.latestProducts {
    margin: -10px -50px 0px 0px;
}
.boximage {
    float: left;
    width: 116px;
    height: 116px;
    background-image:url(../styleImages/backgrounds/frame.jpg);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    margin:20px 17px 60px 0px;
}
.boxthumb {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    padding:8px 8px 8px 8px;
    text-align: center;
    margin-bottom:5px;
}
.boxText {
    width:116px;
    float:left;
    font-family:  "Arial",Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    color:#000;
    text-align:center;}
/**************************/

and make the necessary changes to suit.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Antz

[calimero]

Than you very much for your help, now it works great.

Best wishes for you and you baby-girl

[rarekickrecords....]

This is a beautyful skin, I'd really like to use this for my little record shop but theres 1 thing I'd really like to change - I'd like to have the category's at the top listed horizontally where the site documents are, in exactly the same way. I edited the index.tpl file to try and do that but it came out like this...



Can anyone help me change this so the categorys are displayed just like the site docs were? Help would be v.much appreciated.

Thanks, Stewart
