One more thing and I'm done...where do I edit the "Welcome to your Store" text?

Go to Admin; System tab/ Settings/scroll to bottom of page and you'll find your page editor for the Home Page where you can edit and or add text.

Hi all
I've made a new set of graphics for this template to turn it into a sweetshop - all was going well untill I checked it in ie6. Sadly the header is all messed up in ie6 - I uploaded a virgin copy of the theme just to make sure it was nothing I'd done, but it was the same.
Unfortunately I can't possibly put up an ecommerce site that doesn't work with ie6, so I was wondering if someone could spare a few mins to help me hack it up to work. I know there's a bit of a downer on ie6, but the fact is there's still a lot of people using it so I have no choice but to support it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - please see example for, well, an example of what it looks like in ie6.

What's happening is IE6 of course isn't doing the job right. The div5 width needs to be narrowed. In your case possibly just removing the word Offers after Special could do it, or you may need to adjust the div it's self as well.
There are other options but these would be the easy one to try first.

In your CSS file find to adjust the width.

Hi Codebits
Just wanted to say thanks for your response - my net connection went down and has literally just come back on so I didn't get a chance to try it yet (this was the first place I came lol), but I will vsoon.

Thanks again

Hi NWISG

I liked the simplicity of your No-Tabs design so I modified it a bit on my install of 1.4.0
Now Daniel has released 1.4.6 it is no longer working correctly for me on a fresh install of this latest version.

I get an error in several places in the shopping cart page and also in the order confirmation emails.
On the cart page it says:

Notice: Undefined variable: success in ..../catalog/view/theme/All-CSS-NoTab/template/checkout/cart.tpl on line 14

On that same page the discount code box says the following:
Notice: Undefined variable: text_coupon in ..../catalog/view/theme/All-CSS-NoTab/template/checkout/cart.tpl on line 68

(I've installed 1.4.6 at wc2.org.uk to test it)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help!
Kind regards

Rachel

The All-CSS-NoTab and the No-Tab templates are not going to work right with OpenCart Ver 1.4.+ and I am sorry about that but I just can't keep up with the version changes for OpenCart. This is just a hobby for me, I make my living developing and building custom systems of all sorts.

Once OpenCart gets to a point it's standardized in a way we don't have to keep re-working each theme or template for each version that comes out I'll be back at making new themes and templates as time permits.

In the mean time, since I've had several users trying to use the template with v 1.4.6 as a courtesy to you, this weekend I will install 1.4.6 and make modifications needed to the All-CSS-NoTab and put up a new zip file hopefully by Monday.

Hope this will help you

Hi Codebits,

Thanks for sharing for the rest of us. More power!

That would be very sweet
I will keep tinkering with the rest of the store in the meantime. Thanks for not giving up on your previous creation. Much appreciated!

Rachel

Sounds great that you would update this!

Will you go over template/common/home.tpl and template/product/category.tpl also then?
These are the two only pages I really need table-less! :-)

Sorry Mrconn but these two templates are not Table-less layouts, they are Tab-less layouts. Meaning the menu isn't using the Tab design. One template is ALL CSS Controlled, which is the one I will update for v 1.4.6

I do think once I know OpenCart has a stable release version that I can count on not changing in a way that breaks our layouts, I think a Table-less designed template, completely controlled by CSS will be on my agenda to build.

This is not a complete re-work of the All CSS Template.
I only fixed what I found broken or missing.
I've tested it in 1.4.6 and 1.4.7

See 1.4.6 or 1.4.7

Most kind of you Codebits!
I will install it with 1.4.7 and hope it works for me. I will let you know.

The recent new releases of OC 1.4 have been a real encouragement and with your nice no-tabs design for the layout I think I might get started seriously with OC and get my store up & running.
As soon as it is, I'll mark it with a donation to OC and NWISG!

Thanks very much for your help so far - it's really appreciated.

Rachel

Your welcome but please keep in mind this isn't a re-work, I just made a 1.4.0 template work with 1.4.6 and 7
There are W3C validation errors.

I do plan on building a complete new W3C compliant All CSS template for 1.4.7 +

Products are still in tables, I see...
But when/if you'r done with a complete css (and perhaps validated) layout, I think Daniel and Q should consider copying you!
Tables are terrible to work with!

Hello CodeBits

Thanks v much for the amended template - nice!
I've not yet had much time to customise it fully, but hope to change colours, banner images, etc soon.

In the meantime, I've found a few things that I can't seem to get right and wondered whether you might be able to point me in the right direction? (the test install is at wc2.org.uk)

1) the search boxes keep dropping down, out of the blue navigation bar; it's probably because some categories are a bit long, but I've not yet found a way of moving the search back into the nav bar

2) when trying to do a search, hitting 'enter' doesn't start the search

3) I've removed the 'basket' button from the navigation bar and tried to make the basket header itself into an active link; this worked for me in a previous version, but I can't get this to work in the latest version

4) the order confirmation emails still contain an error message:
Notice: Undefined variable: store in ...../catalog/view/theme/All-CSS-NoTab/template/mail/order_confirm.tpl on line 116

I would be grateful for any suggestions on how I might overcome these little problems.
Kind regards

Look up a few post for your answer

I'll have to look into this... I know it does work in the default install

3) I've removed the 'basket' button from the navigation bar and tried to make the basket header itself into an active link; this worked for me in a previous version, but I can't get this to work in the latest version

Look here for your answer

I'll get this fixed and post a new zip after I also fix the search keypress function.

I'm in the process of building the new all css no tab for 1.4.7 +
I'm planing on moving the search from the menu area as it appears many are having problems with room for both the search and menu items. There are a few possibilities... I'm open to comments of what the users would prefer.

Once I have this template finished, I'll be moving onto attempt the building of a second template without tables. I not going to promise when these will be done, but they are coming.

Thanks for letting know.
I really like your work but it has some issues since I updated to 1.4.7.

I'm glad your working on it

Keep your good work going !

Hi Codebits,

I am just 'experimenting" with your no-tab styling - i too dislike tabs (and tables) and look forward to your pure CSS templates in the future.

If I may suggest that search and perhaps currency and language may be put into the area to the right of (what is currently) YourStore Logo. Floating right on the background of the logo :-)

Cheers
