Really beautiful template - can the slideshow be static and therefore used as a banner instead?

Thanks, Melanie

Yes, it sure can be set to act as a banner. You would need to edit 2 or 3 lines in the header.tpl but it isn't difficult.

Sexy! The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the blue and red color on the best sellers, but thats minimal

Gorgeous theme. I see you only support the latest browsers, any idea how hard it'd be to improve support for rubbish browers like IE7 (and even 6), obviously without looking quite as pretty?

I've heard all the arguments for and against but I don't support IE6.

IE7 should be near the same render as IE8 as I do run the themes in compatability mode.

Thanks.

Hey does this work with 1.4.7? I'm just getting started with OpenCart and your template will be perfect for a project I'm working on.

May I customize a few things like add a background image?

Does it work with all modules?

Sorry if those are lame questions, I'm still getting up to speed with this system. Thanks

I bought this theme. Looks nice but there is one problem with it. As you can see above the product description lacks HTML format. If you use lists, bullets, bold text or color in the product description then you will lose the HTML format while viewing the product page. It will display fine in the admin panel product page.

I notified Imaginetek about the problem and so far no answer whatsoever.

You are right. I have 2 of his templates, Vortex and ProShop, and they both have that error. I was able to figure out how to fix it if you didn't already.

In the header.tpl file, he included some page styling that includes ol, li and em tags. Those are the 3 I use so far that did not work. He set the ol and li tags to have no list style and the em tag to have a normal font style. Therefore, those styles are overwriting the normal HTML tag styles.

If you look at the product.tpl file, you see the div that the product description is wrapped in uses a class called .tab_page. In fact all the tabs use that class. Good thing too! Now you can add some rules to the CSS file to override the styles that override the normal HTML styles.

I added these rules to the CSS file in the template style sheet. You can adjust them accordingly or add others, just preceded the tag with the .tab_page class:

.tab_page ol,.tab_page ul {
list-style: disc;
margin-left: 50px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
line-height: 150%;
}
.tab_page em {
font-style: italic;
}

Many Thanks

I can't replicate the issue with the formatting problem.

The customer that has mentioned it is the only person to raise this concern and it doesn't seem to be a problem on the template demo:-

demo1.imaginetech.com.au

If someone else can confirm they are getting this same error I will investigate further.

Thanks

I am getting the error, (sort of) on my site. I have added the rules posted by the above user to my style sheet but this has fixed some of the problems (bullets now work) but not fully corrected the issue.
is an example page and as you can see the title within the description is not bold when it should be.

I cant get spacing breaks or Bold to work in descriptions.

It is also the same on the demo store i run from my pen drive.

Ok, to get <strong> to work remove this code from the header.tpl file in catalog/view/theme/Vortex/template/common/:-

h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 100%;
}

And from this section remove just strong,

address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var {
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

Thats worked perfectly, I also removed the P from

body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,textarea,p,blockquote{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;

which has made the <p> tag work in descriptions.

Thanks!

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I can't add any modules to the "Home" section of the Vortex template or make any changes to it. At the moment it has "Latest Products" but I can't even change the amount of items shown. Is there something I need to change to make this editable? Is it a permissions issue that is stopping Opencart from altering the template?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I am using Vortex with Opencart Version 1.4.9.4.

Thanks
