X-Cart forums

Hello,

Our graphic designer decided to make a change to our site skin by editing a default skin, after he uploaded the skin there were a few issues that left the boss less than satisfied.

here is the link[Adult Content - products -]: http://romanceattack.biz/store



The search box on the top left of the page below the header is way off from where it should be. And the body of the products is white, when it should be black.


I'm not familiar with SMARTY or design as I am purely a back-end programmer. I've spent a good deal of time trying to fix someone else's problem and now I am at a loss, clearly it isn't just a standard CSS issue unless I am looking in the wrong part of the site.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

P.S
I've already laid into our designer about making changes without letting the rest of the team know, no I have to solve his problem..

Thanks.

I am currently using X-Cart Pro 4.4

Well it is actually pretty simple css changes that will fix the problem - so clearly your designer isn't experienced in css, nor x-cart for that matter - no wonder you are upset!

OK, let's fix this up for you.

You need to start with the css class:
#header div.search

and you should see "left: 180px;"
This is what is putting the search box 180 pixels out. Change that to 0 and it will pop back in place.

If you can't see that left command, you are in the wrong css file - you seem to have the #header div.search class in 2 css files.

I can't tell what css file it's in, because you have css caching turned on - if you turn this off in admin, general settings, it will help. If you want to turn it off and let me know, I'll check again and tell you.


To make your products b/g black - again simple css change - just need to find the right css file - but you are looking for the class:
.dialog .content
and simply add a black background to it, e.g.
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;

This will though, probably make all such backgrounds black - which is probably ok.
If not, you'll have to edit the template and make a new css class.

Thank you!

I got into the office today and started looking through the files on our webserver.

It looks like rather than modifying our existing template from a previous designer, he left it in the custom_designs folder so the main.css file in that file was conflicting with the one in the other template folder. T.T

I probably should have checked the custom folder first, but I'm not too familiar with x-cart. I'll be spending the next few days sorting this mess out lol.

Thank you again!
