Hey Jazz, The site looks great. I think your customizations are awesome as well. I have attached an image to this post with one suggestion. I noticed the ladies earings sub categories do not have any icons associated with them. I would associate an image with them or change the category template so you don't have so much white space on their category page. Great work!  earings.jpg (20kb) downloaded 169 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register. |

Not a bad looking site. One thing I did have a bit of trouble with is the choice of your link colors on the white background. Lite blue on white can be very hard to see or even give a look of fuzziness. But for the most part your site looks great. Nice job! Brendon Resposio LLC [email protected] |

Yeh, I noticed that too Brendon. However the colors do give it a pleasant soft look and seems to fit well with the product line. Over all I think the site looks really nice.
I am viewing it on a wide screen and the background seems to bleed all the way to the edge of my monitor. You might want to try changing the off page background to a different color to see what affect it would have; anything that fits your color scheme but would provide a slightly more distinct border between your page and not page.
The other thing I noticed is the Ladies Jewelry doesn't seem to stand out very well. Now my abilities in colors and design has been known to be lacking so don't put to much into this; but, you might want to try using backgrounds behind them similar to one or more you have on your home page.
I like that you kept the fancy fonts to a minimum and then used ones that are easy to read.

Nice looking site Jazz, How did you get the Category links (left side while within a product listing such as http://www.sterlingfores...Ladies/Bracelets/CZ.aspx) to show a different active style (red while on that page)? I'm attempting to figure that out myself with no luck. Thanks -Dave

Dave, are you running SP2 of BVC5? If so, your category menu module should give you a 'current' class to work with. |

Hi Cliff,
Yup, fresh new version of SP2.
I noticed a set of css labeled as Pager Control, and was wondering if that was involved in that since it had a 'current' class in it's set.
This is my first BV store, so I'm slowly figuring out the css and other intricacies (modifying Painted Paper).
Is the Pager Control the correct set to modify for the category nav, or is there another set that I should look for?
Thanks Cliff,
-Dave

No, the Pager Control is the set of numbers that allow you to step through multiple pages in the category. You'll probably need to create some styles for the .current class, for example: Code:.categorymenu ul li.current a { font-weight: bold; }
.categorymenu ul li.current ul a { font-weight: normal; } |

Thanks Cliff, I didn't even have those in my stock CSS file. I guess it wasn't part of the Painted Paper theme, but may be in others.
It makes me nervous, what other css controlled functions exist, but I wouldn't know it because there's no style or instruction on what can be done.
I'll give it a ashot and see how it works out.
I have css sets for /* Sub Category Menu */ and /* Sub Category Menu2 */
Should I modify those for deeper levels by taking:
#subcategorymenu li a {text-decoration:none;font-size:90%;} and making it #subcategorymenu li.CURRENT a {text-decoration:none;font-size:90%;}
(same for #subcategorymenu2)?
Thanks again Cliff

Don't be nervous if you don't see what you're looking for in the stylesheet. It's best not to have the things you aren't working with in there anyway. Just look at the source of the elements you're attempting to manipulate and use the classes and/or IDs you find there to create your.
I think those sub-category menus are for the categories in the header, not the category list module.
There are practically unlimited ways to style your lists, so just start with what I posted above and add and subtract until it looks right to you. |
