I DON'T GET IT???????

Why does my categorybox look like this????????

I've tried everything in my stylesheet but no success. WHY???

What is that "light-grey" border around the box?

that is probably more than likely the background color of that table or row.

go to .css and search for this color code: "C0C0C0".

you should find something like this..

background-color: #C0C0C0;

just take it out or change the color, which ever you prefer. Or, and this is for good habit, just comment it out.

or search in your index file and see if it is there

On the stylesheet, look for the infobox names.

#707376 is one grey color. Do a Find on the page for #707376.

Have lots of fun.

Ackis · April 17, 2007

You have a couple of colors that do not show up in the stylesheet. Perhaps it is hard coded on the Index.php or the includes/boxes/categories.php or the includes/column_left.php

rrrhythm · April 18, 2007

Why does my categorybox look like this????????

I've tried everything in my stylesheet but no success. WHY???

What is that "light-grey" border around the box?

http://rcmaffian.se/oscommerce_st/catalog/products.php

//Jessica

why? because the problem isn't in the stylesheet, it's in the code. one of the failings of the current osC version is that a lot of formatting is hard coded, rather than relying on stylesheets. i nearly went insane when i first started using osC. or maybe i went all the way insane. how would i know?

looking at the html for your index (go to your site, then hit "view source") you can see that the problem is right here:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#C0C0C0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111">

also, in a couple of table cells, right in the same area of code, there are some similar bgcolor assignments.

now you have to track down what bit of PHP code is generating that HTML code.

i'll bet you a dollar that you'll find it in catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php

backup first (for most stores classes/boxes.php is an essential file for site functionality, so it's really important not to goof it up.), then delete or comment out the bgcolor assignments in classes/boxes.php, and you should be good to go.

if you can't fix it from this advice, please post the code for catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php

cheers,

rj

Never use frontpage.

Ackis · April 18, 2007

Ok, great.

Can you also tell me WHERE to find this code.

Because the product side is calling for the categorybox. I haven't added that code but I've been told that

/"the problem isn't in the stylesheet, it's in the code. one of the failings of the current osC version is that a lot of formatting is hard coded,"/

I've been looking in alot of files now but I can't find it.

/Jessica

usernamenone · April 18, 2007

Then this is a template. You will not find the code exactly as I have found it but as php code will be in between that html code and it will be in between the

and

Templates most commonly add the categorie box to either the includes header or the index.php page.

If I were you and liked the header and background for your site I would install a stock oscommerce catelog then remove the stock header and replace with the template header ( after cleaning put the craxxy FrontPage coding). Then control the width add the custom background, use the colors from the style sheet. You are bound to have all kinds of issues with that template. You click on a categorie and your categorie side box is gone. How is your customer going to get back to your nav menu?

Then get your money back from the hack that sold it to you.

Ok, great.

one more place to look, If the code isn't in the index or the header then look for it in includes boxes categories.php

Ackis · April 18, 2007

*almost crying now*

I've looked in header.php, index, also in includes /boxes /categories.php

I don't find it!!!!! :blink:

usernamenone · April 18, 2007

Then ask the template maker.

There just isn't any more support on our end if you can not find code.

We sure don't know where you template maker has moved it to.

Have you a backup copy on your pc? If not, make one of the entire site.

Use the windows search feature in your backup directory to look in files *.* and text containg bgcolor="#C0C0C0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111

jessica-

please post your code for the file /catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php

i am almost 100% certain the problem is there.

cheers,

rrrhythm · April 18, 2007

hey, and take a deep breath and don't cry, cause it won't help. not that i haven't been driven nearly to tears myself.

believe it or not this stuff is all perfectly logical. just deeply intricate logic. if you take the time to learn php you can begin to see the logic, and how to track things backwards by starting at the top and then reading what files are called up.

in your case, working backwards, where i'll use the symbol -> to indicate "calls," goes like this:

0. you see your problem on index.php

1. index.php -> includes/column_left.php

2. includes/column_left.php -> includes/boxes/categories.php

3. includes/categories.php -> includes/classes/boxes.php

steps 1 and 2 are easy to see because if you look in index.php you'll see a line that says "require(FILENAME_COLUMN_LEFT)" or something like that, and likewise in column_left.php.

the last step is the opaque one, because it's using the arcane art of object oriented programming, and using what are known as classes.

the key bit of code, if you read includes/categories.php, is where is says something like "new infoBox" or "new infoBoxContents". that is where it is calling the class which is defined in includes/classes/boxes.php

so post your code for includes/classes/boxes.php, and we'll sort it out.

cheers,

rj

I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

FINALLY!!

In catalog/includes/sts_templates/full/boxes/infobox.php.html

There it was the "little thing" that have made me search for more than 24 hours!!!!!!!

Thank you for all your help!!!

Best regards

Jessica

rrrhythm · April 18, 2007

HERE IS MY CODE.....

jessica-

glad you found it. i was just composing a post telling you where to look next when you found it yourself. congrats.

hey, this gets me thinking that there is an even easier way to sort this sort of thing out, if you are using a Mac, or have access to a unix machine. on a mac or unix machine you can easily search for text among every file in an entire directory and all sub-directories. in that case you could have done a search for "bgcolor=whatever the color was" which would immediately tell you were to find the code. this has saved me a lot of frustration in the past. i've posted before on how to search multiple files on mac/unix, so you search my name in the forums to see how to do it.

cheers,

rj
