Eclecticthreads Themes

Does anyone have this theme running on their site that I can see?

Thanks!

Makar

the ForSale 0.1.1.zip download seems to be corrupt

So for the php challenged, where do we stick the "color.css" file once we modify it? I'd like to use your Electricthreads color.css as a template. Once I mess with the colors, what folder do I put this file in? THANKS!

Steve, Thanks for the quick reply!

My install doesn't have the 'colorpack/packs/' root directories. I obviously have the 'modules' directory, Do I need to create the '/colorpack/packs/' root folders inside the 'modules' directory too?

Could you have some add-in that I don't have? My install is the default Gallery v2.11a of the software.

THANK YOU!

Steve,
thanks for all the help. I had some time to play with this and I've got the colorpacks module installed. I've created a new folder in the "packs" folder called "meyer". I renamed your eclecticthreads.CSS file to "color.css" & copied the color.css file to the new "meyer" folder. I then went into the admin panel on gallery, and set it up to use the "meyer" colorpack under the matrix theme.

Everything works perfectly! But if I open up the ...meyer/color.css and alter the colors with the 6 digit hex codes, I get no change from the default install?

If you want to see it, I'm installing on: http://www.meyerracingonline.com/new_index2.html Then click on the link for gallery.

I want the gallery to look a bit more seemless by sticking it in the main frame of the site.

THANKS!

I've been doing so much in the past 48hrs, let me see if I can remember what I did. (I'm home with my 6 yr old daughter who has the flu!)

Alright, I made a "meyer" directory in the modules/colorpack/packs directory. There I added the color.css file in the folder. It is the only file in that folder. And the only file that I uploaded.

I went into the site admin and went to the "themes" section. The theme that I have as my default is "matrix." When I went to the "matrix" tab for the themes, on the bottom there is a choice of colorpacks. In that drop down is lited "meyer". I selected that one (meyer) and that is where I left off.

I altered the color.css file in the meyer folder, but it's not showing any of the changes that I made.

Got any ideas?

Steve, thank you for being so generous with your time. I sincerely appreciate it!

Scott Faivre

I did that, (Notice the 'meyer' name instead of 'eclecticthreads'. I'm still not sure why I can't get any changes to the colors. Any other ideas?
thanks!

Steve,
thanks again for all the help! I've attached my color.css file to this post.
THANKS!

Whats with the error for: page.inc.php

I commented out the include_once $_SESSION['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/page.inc.php"; line to get it to work..

But what is that file? and what's it used for?

Oops, sorry about that. That file is a custom file for my wife's website where this theme is mainly used. I've removed it out of the files for the current zip. Thanks.

Thank you for the hard work.

Might I recommend perhaps writing a module for the pricing/purchasing system you created?

I've actually decided against using your solution at this time cause it doesn't suit my needs, but it's very well done.

Suggestion: for the custom fields thing, perhaps make the capability to make dropdown or select lists... Would be somewhat simple.. use pipes to split the options..
Example:
Style|Shortsleeve|Longsleeve,Color|Red|Green,Bust Size,Waist Size
the first 2 would be dropdowns and the second two would be text fields.
in php, very simply done by looking for a | in each option. I'm sure it'd probably be about 5 lines more of code.

Last, in the readme - you have a typo

There is a file included called CustomOrder.php where you can modify this for your needs. You will need to change the PayPal.inc file to fit the location of your CustomOrder.php or more CustomOrder.php into the /galler2/ directory. The Custom field expects a comma seperated list (with no comma at the end) of items that the user will customize before adding the item to the cart.

I bolded it.

I've gone ahead and implemented my suggestions and fixes for you, to save some time and perhaps help others who want these features.

Attached is CustomOrder.php and PayPal.inc as they should be set by default, with CustomOrder.php being in /themes/ForSale/

I've fixed an issue with the image not appearing due to paths. Also, I added my suggested dropdown list setting that I spoke of.

Let me know what you think.

Steve,
It's been quite a while since I've last posted. I had a slew of things going on at home and work that made me have to take some time off. I just sat down to reinvestigate this situation, and I might have spotted my problem. I wasn't trying to run your entire package. I'm just trying to create my own color scheme on a default install of gallery 2.
Is there an easier way of accomplishing this?
Thanks!

Guys i need some help, i cant see the add to cart or customize buttons on the site, whats wrong

I've used your forsale theme successfully as the basis for a site I did for a client, www.mikesouthern.com. It was useful both directly for the use of paypal, and also indirectly as a sort of tutorial on how to deal with the display of custom fields in my templates.

Thanks!

Now I'm working on a site for another client, that uses Americart for their order processing, rather than paypal. The logic is very similar in that a one-button form is used to deliver the data to Americart, but I'm not a php programmer and so I can't quite figure out how to create, eg, an "americart.inc" file. I'd be most appreciative of advice on how to adapt paypal.inc to take the contents of other custom fields and use them. And, I'm happy to share the resulting americart.inc and other adaptations with the Gallery2 community.

My work in progress is at http://joshuahellerrarebooks.managebest.net/artistsbooks/

Thank you for a great Gallery2 adaptation.

-Sara,

Thanks for the response. Hopefully you'll be able to help me with specific questions.

I need to add one field, "ItemNumber," to the form. I have created it as a custom field in my gallery, but I don't know how to pass the field to Americart.inc . It doesn't need to be displayed on the album or photo page, but it does need to be sent in the americart form.

Also, rather than an email address, Americart takes a cartID number. Perhaps I'm getting myself in too deep, but I changed the theme.inc file to include a place for the user to fill in her Americart ID.

I don't need the form to pop up in a new window, as Americart is pretty smooth in how it sends a user back to the page she visited from. Where should I remove the javascript popup and is there other stuff I have to remove?

Finally, where all is PayPal.inc and the paypal forms called from? Anyplace that might surprise me?

I'm working on documentation of what I'm up to and hope to contribute this modification to the Gallery2 community when I'm done. Thanks for your help!

-Sara

Thanks so much. Now I have another silly question.

In album.tpl and photo.tpl, where the setup for passing data to the Paypal function is done, there's a line for the title that looks pretty much like:

$this->_tpl_vars['child']['title']

(I say "looks pretty much like" because the stuff that precedes the "title" section differs slightly depending on the relative place of the item, whether it's a parent, child, album or individual item, etc.)

I want to remove the bbcode markup from that field before I pass it.

How can I change this code to make it send the contents of the title field, MINUS the bbcode?

I'm a php moron so the more specific the advice, the better.

Thanks for advice.

When I tried to install the theme I get this:

Incompatible theme!
Core API Required: 6.0 (available: 7.3)
Theme API Required: 2.1 (available: 2.3)

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

If you look at my notes above

ForSale 0.1.2 is for G2.1
EclecticThreads 0.1.2 is for G2.1
