Some quick Questions!

[davieb]

Have been searching the forum all week but i can find the answer to these. :(

 

1. I need to change the width of the left & right columns, (categories etc) - I need to extend the left & shorten the right.

 

2. I need to add 2 images to the header, 1 to the left & the other 2 the right.

 

3. I need info on every category - so when someone click they see a description above the products.

 

4. I need audio clips for every product. I can only find contributions with streaming audio though. is it possible to add just an mp3 download. (example site: makina.co.uk)

 

 

 

If you can answer any of these questions for me, or point me in the right direction i would be very very grateful. :)

 

And thank you all in advance & keep up the good work!

1. widths are normally changed in your application_top.php but that will change both the right and the left.

In order to change them seperately you will have to add code.

 

One way to do that would be to open includes/application_top.php and look for

// customization for the design layout

define('BOX_WIDTH', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125)

and change that to

// customization for the design layout

define('BOX_WIDTH_LEFT', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125)

then add

// customization for the design layout

define('BOX_WIDTH_RIGHT', 125); // how wide the boxes should be in pixels (default: 125)

Change them to the widths you want, then edit every main file that has the code for the columns to reflect the new codes. You will find it twice for the left and twice for the right

<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>

 

 

 

I normally just remove the code and place in the widths I want. Not sure why but that is what I do. LOL

 

 

2. Images for the top of your page can be added directly to your includes/header.php

 

3. There are several contributions that do this. I suggest the header tags controller because that also adds meta tags to your site.

 

4. You could always place a link to the audio file in the products description if you want people to be able to download it.

 

Hope that helps.
