You need to set the Max Categories To Show In Breadcrumb Trail input to 1 in BVAdmin > Options > Display. I should have posted that somewhere, but wasn't aware at the time that 0 was the default. |

Cliff,
Should we replace the older TekGear Redux theme with the new one for BVC5?
How are things with the Fresh Start coming along? |

I would recommend doing so, especially if you are running SP2. There are a lot of improvements and fixes for certain issues.
Fresh Start BVC5 is on hold pending a look at SP3. I'm still on the fence about completing it, because it's quite a lot of work on top of dealing with BVC5's markup inconsistencies, but am waiting on SP3 to make a decision. |

Cliff post SP3 you really should release the Fresh Start charging for it. There's really no need for you to do all the work for free...for a reasonable rate I'm sure just about everyone would buy it and probably pay to have you custom mod it....just a thought outloud.

One other point...what needs to be changed to reduce spacing in the long description to single lines? I'm getting a double spaced description at this point.

Use paragraph tags in your long descriptions, or use Markup, which I think will automatically add those tags. Or, if the semantics aren't important to you (the description is wrapped in span tags, for crying out loud, so I wouldn't blame you), modify the line-height for that section in your stylesheet. |

Cliff, I'm going to wrap it in P tags for now. Hypothetically speaking if I wanted to use the span tags, how would that get accomplished for text color #666, 90%, bold?
Also, the bullets in the product choices....how would one change the bullets and or align those labels left?

I assume you're looking for something like this. Code:#ProductDescription { color:#666;font-weight:bold;font-size:90%;line-height:1.2em; } Remember that anything inside it, like paragraph tags, will override that unless you specify #ProductDescription p {}, etc. |

I had based my theme on yours, and was having a problem. I took your latest version, installed it, and have the exact same problem - my third column on the home page is outside the frame. I thought I would start over with the new version, in case I broke something. Is anybody else having this problem? I have attached a screen shot, or you can see it at www.vivalowcarb.com/new (the main site is the existing BV 2004 store, I am trying to migrate) Any help would be appreciated.

Kevin, I don't think this is a theme issue. Looks like your 3rd column is physically outside of the content area in the HTML, or you have a missing or extra tag in your content that is making the column sit on the outside:  Cliff attached the following image(s): column-outside-content.png (4kb) downloaded 383 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments.

You are correct - I had an extra </div> hiding in the middle column.
I think I will go ahead and start over with your revised version, and make my changes again, since mine were mostly graphics and I documented everything I changed.
Thanks for the help.

No problem.
Also, make note of your content in the second column. You have a lot of deprecated tags in there that won't gel nicely with the XHTML doctype of the theme. No font tags or tag attributes like type and color. All of this should be done in your stylesheet. |

Thanks for the advice. I'm doing pretty well, considering that I really have no idea what I'm doing. I will do a little reading on style sheets and fix up the html on home page and product pages. It's great to have the folks who know what they are doing lending a helping hand. Now if I can only figure out what is wrong with my "people who bought this page" - for a few items it puts a third item that does not fit. http://www.vivalowcarb.c...-free__092325333475.aspxThe rest of the site is starting to look not too bad - just a few more things to figure out. ktory attached the following image(s): problem with also bought.png (197kb) downloaded 166 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments.

Looks like that is set in a table grid. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow you to set it to 2 columns instead of 3? |

You can find this near the bottom of header.ascx in your theme's controls folder. The attributes should be self-explanatory: Code:<uc1:MainMenu ID="MainMenu1" [b]LinksPerRow="7" MaximumLinks="7"[/b] runat="server" /> |

That worked. How do i make the links to be centered on the page instead of being to the left? Thanks |

Also, how would i go about putting a border around each link.
Sorry for some of the basic questions. I'm still learning this.
Thanks again. |
