Anybody Give me some opinion?

2 quick comments: You need a thumbnail contribution instead of using the browser to resize large images - this will make pages quicker to load.

Secondly you don't seem to have SSL enabled

Try using a thumb nail program and a contribution like lightbox for your pics. Picture load is too slow

I think the site is quite nice, although it looks very much like a template from a very well known monster of a template site. But, regardless, it has a very clean look. Couple suggestions:

- Center your manufacturer's drop down in the categories box. Also your whats new box

- The product name is too big in the product_info page. I think anything bigger than 14px is borderline unattractive.

Good luck!

That is the /catalog/includes/language/product_info.php... You want to edit the /catalog/product_info.php page.

Look for

 <td class="pageHeading" valign="top"><?php echo $products_name; ?></td>

and change it to

 <td class="pageHeading" valign="top"><font size=3><font color=#000033><?php echo $products_name; ?></td>

Just change the font size and color to whatever makes you happy.. :thumbsup:

Also, I am using the same template as you and I was working on that nasty misalign in the manufacture box. I finally found it last night.

Look for this code in the manufacture.php

	  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('manufacturers', tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

and then add this right after it

 'align' => 'center',

That should center the manufactuer box in non-IE browsers.

I'm still working on the what's new box but I will let you know if I can get it centered.

I clicked the link but your server didn't open after even after 25 seconds so I gave up - maybe i'll try later.

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => HEADING_TITLE); new infoBoxHeading1($info_box_contents, true, true, false);?></td>
	 </tr>

Can't find this

 <td class="pageHeading" valign="top"><?php echo $products_name; ?></td>

and which file i have to edit to change the word "now in yout cart" on my homepage?

How do i add a new page inside? Thanks

dereklim · December 4, 2006

anybody know how to solve this?

ecopeia · December 4, 2006

Try changing the tag in your stylesheet.css file, located in your root folder. The stylesheet might be called something else since you are using a template, but in that file you should be able to find a style called .pageHeading and should look something like this (this is from my stylesheet so I have modified the original style already):

TD.pageHeading, DIV.pageHeading {

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 16px;

color: #C5823F;

font-weight: none;

}

Making the change here should be the right answer. It will change more than just the product_info page, so if you want to change only the product_info.php page, add this to your stylesheet and change the values to whatever you want:

TD.pageHeading2, DIV.pageHeading2 {

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 14px;

color: #FFFFFF;

font-weight: none;

}

Then change the following in products_info.php:

to this:

Hope this helps!

For the "now in yout cart" text, try looking in this file:

includes/languages/english.php

In your text editor, search for:

// shopping_cart box text in includes/boxes/shopping_cart.php

you will see where the text to change is. If you don't find it there, post your includes/boxes/shopping_cart.php file so I can take a look at it.

first, open that file and search for "yout"

I'm almost positive that you'll find it in there. Let me know if you find it.

ok that change it thanks alot...

December 8, 2006

Under you categories, Hardwares ~> Hardware ;) It's inherently plural...

Are you listed on any merchant review sites?

Another thing, TemplateMonster has a way of leaving out About Us, Shipping, Conditions, Privacy from the main page. You may want to add those. I slapped mine at the bottom ( http://shop.insanenerd.com ) Also, SSL. Make it KNOWN on the front page you have an SSL certificate. This is becoming more and more important. (I know, mines not advertised on there yet either, it will be by Monday though ;) )

Oh yeah, and fill in some of your about us information that is linked from that image on your front page....

Over all I like the site. Plus your selling video games, and lets face it, I'm a sucker for games LOL

+edit+ Oh, and do you honestly need to know if they are male or female?? ;) +/edit+

I slapped mine at the bottom ( http://shop.insanenerd.com ) Also, SSL. Make it KNOWN on the front page you have an SSL certificate. This is becoming more and more important. (I know, mines not advertised on there yet either, it will be by Monday though )

Oh yeah, and fill in some of your about us information that is linked from that image on your front page....

Over all I like the site. Plus your selling video games, and lets face it, I'm a sucker for games LOL

+edit+ Oh, and do you honestly need to know if they are male or female?? +/edit+

Umm can teach me step by step how to do those things u told me? cause i dont know anything for programming

Changing Hardwares -> Hardware... Just edit that through your Admin panel under Categories.... Click the category then -> edit.

Listing on Merchant Review Sites is easy. I recommend ResellerRatings.com . Instructions for merchants is linked at the bottom of their page.

Adding the links is a little trickier. I editted the footer.php (located in: /includes/ ) to include the links and banners I needed. It's all simple HTML. You need to create a link (in the footer possibly) to the shipping.php, conditions.php, and privacy.php files located in the root of your osc directory. To edit the information listed on those pages, you are going to have to edit the corresponding files located in the directory: /includes/languages/english/ . The About Us section, however, is going to be located in: /includes/text_blocks/about_us.htm .

Turning off the Gender request during customer sign up, can be down through the admin panel. Configuration -> Customer Details -> Gender.
