I fixed the problem - Don't know what happened but I just reloaded the mega-menu style sheet css file
and everything is OK now.?

Hello again Anne,

I now have your wonderful template working on my site - it looks great (http://www.dazzlers.net.au) if you want to take a peek.

I made a number of modifications following your extremely good instructions however there is one thing I cannot find - turning off the quantities next to categories in the category box. In the admin/configuration/ layout settings there is no line there for turning category count on or off (I believe there was in my custom template admin settings) .... so where have I missed that tweak section??

many thanks,
Mike

p.s. I am going to do some mods to the product info page - primarily add in the additional images code - I was just going to copy the code from my previous tpl_product_display_info.php file and insert it .... that should work shouldn't it ?

oooops

In going to tpl_product_display_info.php I noticed that the code for Additional Images was indeed there and on my product pages I can see vertical dotted lines being the image separators I presume. However I am not getting any additional images to show whereas they do on my custom template.

In configuration / images I have number of rows for additional images set to 5 (which I would neatly get across the centre 'box' area in my custom template which co-incidentally is the same width in this template) ... this template is set to 3 columns, how can I modify it so that my images show (preferably all in one line, maybe changing the image separators from 2 to 4 ?? and if so where / how ... or should I be looking elsewhere to solve this problem? Image size is variable by height (unfortunately) but standard width of 100px.

Looking forward to your input on this and the above category count issue.

cheers,
Mike

You can turn off the quantities next to the category names in admin--configuration--my store.

If all of the modules installed on your old site are the same as the new site then you might be able to copy the file over.

Thanks,

Anne

If you do a search in the FAQ's section you will find information on how to correctly name your images so that zen cart will pick them up as additional images.

You can set the number of additional images per row in Admin > Configuration > Images


Thanks,

I also suggest installing Image Handler which has a nice admin interface for managing additional images.. This should allow shags to upload additional images and IH4 will take care of properly naming them.

Hi Ladies,

I do have Image Handler installed. I have additional images loading fine in my custom template (see the site in my signature). The site to which I added Abbington Mega is an exact copy, exact duplicate of the store in my signature however I decided to use Abbington Mega template which I thing is stunning. Before adding AM the additional images were working fine.

I have the settings set at 5 additional images per row but upon seeing the 3 column structure I changed it to 3 but to no effect. In my signature site I modified tpl_product_info_display to bring the additional images to under the main product image and 5 across sat neatly.

I actually changed the position of the code for display images to be under Products Detail List and the 'blank' space shows up as a bigger area than it was and now with one(1) vertical dotted divider but still no images. No matter where I put the code the images do not show.

Additionally I have lost functionality of Zen Lightbox, e.g. clicking on larger image opens a new window instead of the the lightbox - and it doesn't auto zoom with mouse hover (again refer to my signature site) - the configuration settings for Zen Lightbox are the same on both sites (as you would expect being exact clones).

I have tried a few things but to no avail. I guess the commonality is 'images' control. Everything else is Top Stuff !!! :)

Any ideas as to what I should look at to solve the problem? ..... note that I am using v1.3.9h and IH3 ... the site is www.dazzlers.net.au

cheers,
Mike
