Built in theme help
Posted: Fri May 10, 2013 12:08 pm
Hi All,
I am going to preface this post by saying that I am not a developer. I am trying to build a cart using the tools that are built in to the system. With that being said, I am trying to modify the wireframe theme to work for me. Here are the issues I am running into, can anyone help? I logged a support ticket with AbleCommerce, but they were not able to provide me with any guidance.
I am working on a demo site that they have installed for me http://demo.ablecommerce.com/7080401181638/Default.aspx and I am having the following problems:
1. I have added a public webpage called "Our Staff" and it does not show up on the site navigation. How do you get the page to show up on the nav?
2. I edited the layout for the product page using the product layout screen (http://demo.ablecommerce.com/7080510125120/Admin/Website/Layouts/EditLayout.aspx?name=~/Layouts/Product.Master) I made it so on the left sidebar, the "Simple category list" would show up. When I look at the product screen on the frontend now, there is no left column and now there is a large space on the right hand side (http://demo.ablecommerce.com/7080510125120/All-in-One-Printer-P33.aspx)
3. In editing the theme, I am trying to change the background of the widget header to be a graphic. Again, I went through the theme editor and chose to edit the widget header. I uploaded the graphic I wanted and it is not showing on the frontend. I see the image path is there in the admin, however, it is not showing on the frontend.
4. In the theme editor, it does not appear that I can edit the colors of the "Description, reviews, also in..." buttons. Am I missing something? Or can you really not control these colors from the theme editor?
I am not trying to create the world's ugliest theme, I am simply trying to get a handle on what controls what. I have changed the colors on this to try and learn the system. Does anyone actually use the theme editor when creating a site? Or do you all use custom themes?
If you want to login to this demo site to see what I am talking about, the username is patrice@netsolutionsna.com and the password is password.
Thank you in advance,
Patrice Valentine
