Hi Duramax,

You are correct, I did purchase a template and there was nothing wrong with the template itself. I had Qualiteam do an upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 and there were some issues after they were finished. I also had a few modifications that needed to be done. I have the advanced filter mod that needed to be visible on the left menu and help with a live chat button code installation. These issues were no fault of Phil or the template. I did post a request to hire someone on the 4th to help me correct these issues but I did not get a response. Phil did contact me after my post here regarding a lack of support and we agreed on a price to have him sort out some of the issues we were having, but I have not heard from him since.

The times that I have chatted with Phil he does seem very nice and he has gotten good reviews here on the forum, which is one of the main reasons I purchased from him. With that said though there has to be in my opinion better communication. The support tickets that I did submit have never been answered. I do not know the whole story as to what Phil's situation is and I guess I should give him the benefit of doubt.

Would I recommend this template to anyone? Yes, as long as you do not need any modifications done or if you do you are experienced enough to do it yourself or have someone you know that can do it for you. In my particular case I am not experienced enough, nor do I currently have enough time to performing the modifications that I needed therefore when Phil did not reply it left me in a difficult situation. I would have preferred to have hired Phil do the modifications needed since this is his software and he knows it better than anyone else. He does advertise custom work at an hourly rate on his web site. In the end I was able to find someone to do the necessary modifications that I needed at a very, very reasonable hourly rate.

Henry, it's unfortunate what's happened with your site (which is another story) I understand your frustration, but as I told you, my workload is high at the moment. I gave you instructions to send me the relevant files to install, but nothing materialised from you. Maybe I should have communicated better. As of now I am not accepting any additional custom work until existing projects are cleared. I'm glad you have found another developer, best of luck with your store.

I take your criticism and will improve on this in future.

Now can this thread be put back on topic please? Thank you.

Hi Phil,

My apologies for getting this thread off topic.

Take care Phil and hopefully you get caught up soon.

Thanks, Henry.

Using Smart Template and would like to change One Page Checkout width to 970. Can anyone lead me to the correct file? Thanks!

Looking to install a "Free Shipping" logo on the product detail page when free shipping is selected from the product management screen in the admin.
I have done this on 4.1.7 but not quite sure how to do this with the smart template on 4.4.2 Thanks for any input.

Use the webmaster mode to find the template you want to modify

JDAM1 · #**277** 02-14-2011, 08:23 PM

Steve, tried for the longest searching through webmaster mode with no avail. Eventually I'll find it... Thanks!

To use Webmaster mode, you need to have popups unblocked for your site, or you will not see the template list. After the list popup happens, and the page you are on show green fonts where they normally aren't, slide to the part of the page you want to know about. Then slowly run the cursor over the popup list. You will various parts of the screen get frames around them as you move the mouse. A part of a page can be controlled by more than one template, but usually you want the one that frames the smallest piece of your area of interest. After you think you've got the right template, click. X-Cart will open the template in the editor.

I would like to change my logo and and more space between logo and main page area.

I have also an issue with this. As far as I can tell I have read through the postings and not come across this issue. Basically I want to change the logo.png to be larger (at least increase the width to more than 480) I have looked in the .css files (as far as I can tell) and cant figure it out. When I do inlclude a logo.png with a larger width it gets cropped back to 480.
Please let me know how to proceed

You can adjust the logo size in the css file for the theme you are using.

skin/smart_template/custom/themes

All the .css files are in this folder.
