Oh…dear. Well…the good news it, it’s displaying. The not so good news is it’s not accommodating the text and variation boxes.
Sorry to be such a pest….
Hmmm…for some reason it’s not working on mine. If you use custom add to cart buttons, does it not apply?
When I wrote the html for pages, I could make the actual image shift on a hover/roll over to make it look as if the button were pushed. I thought perhaps there was a way to do that, but I see that this is a … generic hover state for all the buttons, so probably not….
Someday I’m going to have to learn php, I just know it.
Thanks! I think that will work. If I decide I’d rather not have the descriptions included (the way I use them in fancy4, they’re a bit long…like back cover copy) can I just take the:
$output .= ‘<div class=”eStore-fancy-clear”></div>’;
$output .= ‘<div class=”eStore_fancy9_description”>’;
$output .= html_entity_decode($ret_product->description, ENT_COMPAT,”UTF-8″);//$ret_product->description;
$output .= ‘</div>’;
section out of eStore-extra-shortcodes/shortcode_include.php?
I haven’t been able to try this yet because first I have to get it to display!
I’ve installed the new shortcodes, and all other style options (1-
will display, but not 9. I’ve tried the code on other pages on the site and fancy9 won’t show there, either. I did check the style css and other files, and fancy9 is listed. I’ve also tried deactivating and reactivating the plugin. I’m officially puzzled.This is the page I’m trying to get the list on:
[http://www.closed-circle.net/WhereItsAt/list-of-titles]
The fancy list should be generating at the bottom under the three asterisks.
(The final lines of code on the page are:
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Blood Red Moon
Jane Fancher
[wp_eStore_add_to_cart id=49]</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>***</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>[wp_eStore_category_products_fancy id=1 style=9
order=3]</p>)
As I say, I’ve tried changing the style number within the same code and all the other styles will display…well 7 and 8 are all screwed up of course, but they display with the “you need to have…installed” warning. With fancy9, I don’t even get a warning.
(Embarrassment caveat: The page and in fact the whole site is very much under re-construction. The site is still on the old theme. I’m revamping in the background. We aren’t exactly what you’d call a high traffic site. Hopefully that’ll change someday.)
BTW…I just wanted to say how very much more this program has to offer than I ever realized. I put our little ebook site together in a handful of days two years ago in complete ignorance of what we needed/could use. Our shopping cart was something of a “gosh…they need to give us money, don’t they?” decision. I chose blindly for something that looked like I could make it work quickly and easily, and liked the little freebie cart so much that I went immediately for the full version…just in case.
That was the best decision I made back then, and I’m only now realizing how good. As part of the revamp, I began investigating other features the program offers and it’s making it possible to make the site much more how I saw it in my head, and doing it with a minimum of effort on my part.
What I never anticipated was the absolutely premium support of the product.
So, just…thanks, I guess, from an old writer trying to keep her head above water in this rapidly changing economic environment.
Bingo!
Duh…of course. I’d totally forgotten about that. I set this up so long ago…It’s displaying perfectly now and such a simple solution!
Thanks again!
I realize this is sort of a repetition of a post I made elsewhere, but since then I’ve discovered the fancy4 style, not to mention the categories option of creating an entire list of fancy displays from one category, which I really like…so I’m back to wanting to get the thumbs to play nice with my covers.
I sell books. The default square thumbnail is a real pain for book cover dimensions. I’m working with fancy4. I’ve tried adjusting the image size (width/height) in the extra shortcodes css for fancy4 and also in the main eStore css. It changes the size of the box, but it’s only showing part of the image. I’ve even resized the images to perfectly fit the box and it’s still blowing them up.
When I copy the location of the image, I get
…../lib/timthumb.php?src=http://www.mysite.come/wp-content/gallery/slide-show-2011/regenesis2011_ss.jpg&h=125&w=125&zc=1&q=100
Obviously, timthumb is messing with the image, but Firebug doesn’t give me any hint of where that’s coming from, just shows where I’ve adjusted the CSS for image dimensions. I’ve looked at timthumb in a text editor, but really don’t think I’m quite up to messing with it blind.
Is there any way to get around this? I really don’t like letterboxing my covers, besides the fact that the descriptions for books tend to be a bit longer, so having a default 2/3 ratio on the image gives a larger relative area for the description.
I’m in love! Finally got time to watch the Firebug tutorial. Very cool! Will be very helpful. Love the way you can test CSS changes live. For the record, by FB, the salient CSS code is:
input, select, textarea {
background-color: #5EA872;
border-color: #000BAB;
color: #FCFCFC;
}
style1…r=3.2.1 (line 89)
.hentry .entry .crop, .hentry .entry img, .commentlist li, .wp-caption, input, select, textarea, .button, .button:visited {
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
}
style.css (line 1054)
input, select, textarea {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 4px;
}
style.css (line 710)
input, button, textarea, select {
}
Which, means, as I read it, that this one box is governed by the theme’s CSS, not eStore’s. I won’t pretend to guess why that is, but when I make the switch over from Constructor to Atahualpa, I’ll know just how to fix it.
I hope. keeping virtual fingers crossed!
As always…thanks a heap.
You all are so quick!
I think we’re talking about the same thing. The file is: shopping_cart_icon.gif and appears in the sidebar widget. I just checked the source code way back when, got the name and location of the file, renamed my own gif and overwrote the one in the images folder. Every time I upgrade, of course, I have to remember to repeat that upload. Not exactly a problem.
My site is closed-circle.net. If you go there, you’ll see the “empty shopping cart” image that the program calls up through the “settings” page. (the little animated horse and wagon). If you put something in the cart, that image would go to the generic shopping cart that comes with eStore, except I overwrote that file with my own.
Anyway…thanks for looking into it!
Thanks!
Still there after de-activating. I’ll try the suggestions on the link when I take the site down for a few hours to actually make the switchover to Atahualpa. Right now, the site’s functioning fine with the [wp_eStore:product_id:#:end] code. However, I will want to track down the reason, since if it is a conflict, it c/b hiding something more significant.
Will let you know if problem persists.
Thanks, Peter. That’s actually what I’ve done just today. I’m becoming great friends with a plugin called wp-table reloaded which lets you set up a table format and insert it into a post very much like estore’s fancies. Problem was, I’m using Atahualpa which plays hob with tables. Fortunately, we’ve got that sorted out now (see below).
I have done some modification of eStore’s CSS for this remount of the store, and if there’s a wish list somewhere, I’d sure love to see something built in to save CSS modifications.(such as wp-table has, not to mention Constructor and Atahualpa)
I don’t know how they do it…perhaps a user CSS file that overrides the defaults that come in with an upgrade? I mean, I’m keeping note of all the changes and will just input them with the next upgrade, but if eStore had something built into the setup that is a user CSS input option that didn’t get lost with an upgrade…that w/b seriously cool.
Anyway…thanks again!
