Thanks Nyoman,
Emkal : I haven't used anything special, just turned seo Iinks on, and used a couple of lines of code to rewrite the login/account links, if I remember correctly.

vista print is an unethical company. 5 of the 6 corporate offices are NOT in the US. They make over 1 million bucks a week from american buyers. 100% of that money LEAVES OUR COUNTRY. No one should ever buy from vista print for that reason alone.

Not to mention the bad reviews, of cards taking 3+ weeks, having cards like everyone else, because their templates are so overused, constant solicitation after you buy from them. They sell your info to many many lists, so you get bombarded with email and paper mail forever. And I suspect that their prices are low because of their labor practices. I will NEVER contribute to child labor.

Use a local printer in your town, help the economy where you live. Just because something SEEMS cheaper, doesn't mean it is. The printshop owner in your town needs to eat too, maybe at your restaurant. think about it.

Nice site. I like the fonts.

I usually go for a fairly narrow right/left column, but I'm liking your wide column.

Is your cart in the menu bar/header supposed to look like this:
Picture 26.png

Picture 26.png (6.37 KiB) Viewed 19319 times

Might look better with the cart the same colour as the menu, and then surrounded by white...

I'm using Safari 5.0.6 on a Mac.

I heart cmd-f, cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-z + vQmod.
My favourite page...

Proofread as you go. For example, fix "If you ARE fortunate enough" under the well executed lorry.

Nice site.

I'm trying to figure out how to do option dropdowns like yours but I'm stuck.

I don't suppose you could post a couple of screen grabs?? I'd really appreciate it 8)

neopixel, if you can see it, then you can screen-capture it yourself with your own keyboard, and he is not in a position to give you the innards of a commercial theme. The short answer is, "It's all in the wrist," you type changes into your .css where you see things having to do with menus and links, and you'll probably want to start with an on-line html tutorial, there are several, you do not actually want to plagiarize the commercial theme.

Neopixel - You want to see screenshots of the admin?
Butte - you would be amazed how many people trying to copy the site

Well, rob_pal, there are at least three ways to fly that, you could arrange to be a theme reseller for hopefully enough to offset eventual on-line competition from lookalikes reaching as far globally as you do, or you could offset diminution of your own distinction in that same realm by not catering to lookalikes that lack imagination and didn't research possibilities or pay for one as you did, or you could do neither and take a share of whatever the overall global traffic that might have been winds up being. Most of the few who are technically savvy enough not to need to ask any questions won't copy it anyway, certainly not without significantly changing it so as to be, lo, distinctive enough to keep customers unconfused enough not to wander elsewhere that looks alike the change.

It cost me no money as such, other than my time , as I built it myself. I will not turn it into a commercial theme as would not have the time for support, the theme is written from scratch, on skeleton, so no other plugin will be compatible with it out from the box, and this probably would just generate millions of support requests, and endless hours of fixing things for people. A couple of people were interested in buying the theme, but nobody was prepared to pay the price for it, which I think was quite reasonable. But anyway, I'll give and have given directions to people who been asking me how to do something similar.

Yeah, printing may have the fewer loose feathers, huh? You're a good man.

Hi rob_pal!
Very nice website ;-)
I sent you a private message because I would like to do something similar to your "select" option style. Could you explain how you did to make it working on that way?
Thank you veeeeery much

Sorry dedoboss, I just been to busy to answer your question. I think you question was how to make, like the quantity dropdown to show the full price not just +1, +5 or whatever +100 ... is actually preaty simple:

you just need a small change where the options are generated, catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\category.tpl, catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\product.tpl
there is something like

Code: Select all

<select name="option[<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>]">
   <option value=""><?php echo $text_select; ?></option>
   <?php foreach ($option['option_value'] as $option_value) { ?>
      <option value="<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>"><?php echo $option_value['name']; ?>
      <?php if ($option_value['price']) { ?>
         (<?php echo $option_value['price_prefix']; ?><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?>)
      <?php } ?>
      </option>
   <?php } ?>
</select>
just change

Code: Select all

(<?php echo $option_value['price_prefix']; ?><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?>)
to

Code: Select all

echo (substr($product['price'], 2) + $option_value['price'] );
basically you just add the value of the option to the price of the product.
you might want to add the currency code before the full price, but I`m sure you can work that out how to do it.
Cheers,

Hi rob_pal,
thank you very much for your reply!

I tried... but it is not working...

this is the code I've found in product.tpl:

Code: Select all

      <?php if ($options) { ?>
      <div class="options">
        <h2><?php echo $text_option; ?></h2>
       
        <?php foreach ($options as $option) { ?>
        <?php if ($option['type'] == 'select') { ?>
        <div id="option-<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>" class="option">
          
          <b><?php if ($option['required']) { ?>
          <span class="required">*</span>
          <?php } ?><?php echo $option['name']; ?>:</b>
          <select name="option[<?php echo $option['product_option_id']; ?>]">
   <option value=""><?php echo $text_select; ?></option>
   <?php foreach ($option['option_value'] as $option_value) { ?>
   <option value="<?php echo $option_value['product_option_value_id']; ?>"><?php echo $option_value['name']; ?>
   <?php if ($option_value['price']) { ?>

   (<?php echo $option_value['price_prefix']; ?><span id="newPrice"><?php echo $option_value['price']; ?></span>)

   

   <?php } ?>
   </option>
   <?php } ?>
   </select>
        </div>
Do you have suggestions?

thank you very very much
dedoboss
