Ashlyn Kray Boutique

So, here is the website I created pretty much for my wife's online boutique.  You can visit it at www.ashlynkray.com.

We are using the Open Source V2.  If you look through some of the posts you'll see I had a few questions, but all in all, I am extremely pleased with this software.  We are fully planning on transferring to the Suite version as soon as the website pulls in some money, but as good as the open source is, I can see this being an incredibly popular item.  I've been telling all my friends about it, and I have someone who's already taking a look at it.

Anyway, the sites pretty basic in the setup.  I didn't really change to much around.  Probably my biggest thing is when you go to Checkout, I placed the PayPal tab first and then renamed the Credit Card tab to Offline Orders.  I haven't changed the .aspx file around to actually do anything with it, but maybe soon (I'll post it up if anyone is interested).

Let me know what you guys think and what should be added/changed/removed.

Thank you!!!

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

Nice colors. 

"We Accept" block has broken images. The product grid of category Greggy Girl has words cut off. Try to enable the page block and increase the height of the product summary grid. The top menu "My cart | login | register" seems hiding inside your big logo. Try moving the top menu to the bottom of your logo.

Feel free to drop your question or post any suggestion to the forums. Good lucky to your business.

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

Thanks, I fixed the We Accept.  The Category Grid shows up correctly on Mozilla, but on Internet Explorer, I see what you're saying about it being cutoff.  Do I need to change the height inside the .aspx.cs file?  And, I can't figure out how to put the Login - My Cart - Register below the logo.  I tried using "Move Forward" and "Move Back" but it just seems to hide it behind the actual logo.  Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thank you!

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

Go to Greggy Girl and enable page editor. Find "Product Summary Grid" block and click Edit on the dropdown menu. And then adjust the value of Product Summary Grid Height. Check css class "uppermenu" in Web\App_Data\Themes_Template\Default\Default.css. See the following.

div.uppermenu { /* styles for top menu */
 position: absolute;
 top: 10px;
 right: 10px;
 z-index:100;
}

You might want adjust top and right px to fit on your website. Go to your store admin Site -> Templates -> Default.css and enter the above uppermenu and click save button. That stuff will be added on top of the default theme defined in Web\App_Data\Themes_Template\Default\Default.css.

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

I think I fixed the Greggy Girl.  It shows up correctly on Internet Explorer.  But, with the uppermenu, that code only work on Internet Explorer.  Do you know why Firefox doesn't accept the code?  I put it back to original right now, but I might change it.  I was reading up on the term center: moz-center which is supposed to center things in Firefox and Safari, do you know if I can just add that to the .css without it interfereing with the align: center; that IE uses?  And do you have any idea on what I would need to do to move the uppermenu down on Firefox?

Thanks!

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

Ok, with the alignment not working in Firefox, I just changd the Source Code for the HTML Block to <div></div> instead of <p></p>.  Seems to work on both browsers pretty well right now.  Just in case anyone else is having a similar problem.  Also, I just added a padding-top: 50px to the logo so the login just stays at the very top.

 

Thanks!

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

Looks very nice now.

Would you mind to turn on the powered by DotShoppingCart logo so that we can get some credit? 

There was a bug that is preventing the logo from showing. In Web\Controls\Footer.ascx.cx file, please remove the following line.

            if (SiteNavigation.GetHost() == Constant.DSC.HostName)
                divPoweredBy.Visible = false;

Thanks,
Luke

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but when I remove those two lines I get this error.

Re: Ashlyn Kray Boutique

This the known ASP.NET bug. Try removing the tempoary compiled files by running "rd /q /s "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root".
