a few tad bits that i cant figure out!

[j0anne04]

Hi, i'm currently making a website for a client but as this is my first time using ezimerchant i'm having a few problems working around it. Nothing major, but any help is greatly appreciated!

1. Is it possible to remove the "domestic pricing / international pricing" buttons for products? Client doesn't want to sell outside of australia and would like these gone. I've seen it done on sites whom have used ezimerchant. There should be an option to display or not! How do I change it in the layout?

2. How can i make the product images popup in a new window? I have them set as default at the moment - but for detail client wants the images as big as possible but this doesn't fit with the layout. I suggested popups for the images, silly me. Do i just edit the HTML page once generated? Is there any easier way, eg: add the code to the template or anything??

3. Is it possible to change the font colour of "QTY" etc. I've changed the text colour but QTY does not change, nor does the CSS file change it. Maybe i've done something wrong??

Any help is really appreciated as it's almost done except for fine tuning the layout - and i have deadlines closing in on me! We all know what that's like.

Thanks, Joanne.

HI


1. Yes. Goto the EDIT TAX SETTINGS section of ezimerchant and set the international rate to 10%.

2. You cannot. ezimerchant Pro displayes a small and large version of the image on the page. If you want it bigger than that again, I suppose you could include your own javascript popup window code in the description of the product.

3. The quantity text is included into the style via this tag: <#Quantity>
If you wrap this tag in a font tag OR css style then it should be applied.
see www.bushtuckershop.com (http://www.bushtuckershop.com) for an example site that has the qty colour changed.

The content of what gets generated into the <#quantity> tag can also be fine grain edited. See the file:

c:\program files\ezimercpro\commonfiles\qnt.tbl

thanks for your reply.

I have fixed the issue with the international pricing - thanks for that.

As for changing the QTY text colour... Where can I edit this? I dont know which file I look at where I can set it.

In the Build folder - i've now got in excess of 31 thousand files! The website doesn't have all that many products on it and it freezes when generating. Am I meant to be deleting any of these, or is it correct? I know that when editing a template, i've got to delete the ModContent etc files.. so is it similar with the build folder? Please help! Build folder size went from 4MB to 42MB!

never mind the question about QTY text - css file wasn't uploaded correctly, is working now. still curious about the 31,000 files though???

Either you had or still have a problem with your theme files - which is causing ezimerchant to go into an infinite loop when generating your website - Hence the amount of files in the build folder.
Delete them ALL and then generate the site again, if it starts to remake all those files then you still have problem with the theme files.

Most common cause is the < and > symbols.
You need to make sure that the editor you used hasnt converted them to &lt; and &gt;

Do a Find/replace for &lt; replace with <
Do a Find/replace for &gt; replace with >

ah! now i get it. it was because frontpage had changed the < tags to letters. thanks! Next question: is there any way to edit the layout of products in catagories? i know i can pick from presets - all i really want to edit is made a horizontal line or a larger gap between products?? i've found that they sit right ontop of one another and it looks messy..

[dferguson]

Yes, the product layouts (styles) are simple HTML files. These are located in c:\program files\ezimercpro\styles\brief
and
c:\program files\ezimercpro\styles\detailed

Simply pick one and edit it - to edit it you can use front page. You can give your new creation a new name, and it will become visible in ezimerchant for you to pick from in the style lists.
