Hi Everyone

I’m using Mesolite on a client site, but I’ve kicked out VM and I’m using a much simpler shopping cart extension.

My problem is, I need to change something in the CSS, but I just can’t find it. I’m more of a ‘designer’ than a ‘coder’ so would appreciate the help of any of you clever peeps that understand the CSS.

Here’s a screengrab of what I have at the moment:

What I want to do is change “Price/Unit” to “Price” and then make the actual amount (eg. BGN 7.80) into bold.

I searched the CSS for “Price/Unit” but nothing came up.

Can anybody tell me what I should be looking for in order to make the change? Or, would the “/” be delimited in some way?

I know this is a bit vague, but I HATE hacking around in CSS files.

If anybody wants to see the original CSS file I can make it available of course.

Thanks
Chris

Hi,

You should be able to change the ‘Price/Unit’ to ‘Price’ in the shopping carts language file. As for the bold, could you post a URL and I can take a quick look with Firebug?

Hope this helps, and thanks for the donation by the way.

Cheers,
Jason.

I’d agree with Jay… Price/Unit is almost certainly set in a language .ini file.

As for the Bold text….

The ‘Price/Unit : BGN 7.00’ has the class scunitprice so you can’t make just the BGN 7.00 bold, well… not without modifiying some of the php, it has to be the whole ‘Price/Unit : BGN 7.00‘

So, open template.css and at the end add

.scunitprice {
font-weight:bold;
}


Or you could go a bit more fancy…

.scunitprice {
background:#666666 none repeat scroll 0 0;
border:2px solid #DB4455;
color:white;
font-size:110%;
font-weight:bold;
margin-left:20px;
padding:2px 8px;
}

Thanks Jason and Scotty

I’m fluent in English and French, fairly fluent in Bulgarian and I get by in German, Spanish and Italian … but CSS … may as well be Romulen!
😀 :-[

I’m happy to change the whole ‘price’ line to bold (including the actual price of course).

Live URL:
http://www.britishlionfoodstore.com

(site not finished, please don’t laugh)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Chris

Ehh… the answer is in my post above. Add the class .scunitprice to your template css and style to your own desires. For just bold text add…

.scunitprice {
font-weight:bold;
}

Thanks Scotty, worked perfectly!

I’ve roamed through the .ini files in language, but still can’t find any reference to the “Price/Unit” so I have no idea where to find that one!

Cheers
Chris

Download Windows Grep or for the MAC 😀 this version (Untested by me).

With this software you can search within files.

Download your site to a local machine and do a search for ‘price’. The results will show any file that contains the word ‘price’ and you should easily see where it is you need to change your text.

Of course it could be set in your DB but at least you will know after you do the Grep search.

Could it possibly be in the language.php file of the shopping cart component?

Hi Chris,

I have a Windows-based PC and I have installed Firefox with the add-in Firebug. When I want to know about something I go with my mouse-cursor to the element I want to inspect and with the right-mouse-click I choose inspect element and most of the time, from the firebug-window I can learn where I have to search.

OK. Thanks everyone, I think we’re actually getting somewhere! Although, I’m not sure I’d know what to look for even if I was in the right place!

Using firebug (thanks Peter!) to inspect this particular line gives:

"<span class="scunitprice">Price/Unit : BGN 11.90</span>"

I checked the simplecaddy.php file using Grep (thanks Scotty!) I have the following four instances of ‘price’ in the file:

$html .= "<span class='scunitprice'>";
$html .= JText::_('SC_PRICE_PER_UNIT');
$amount = number_format($product->unitprice, $decs, $dsep, $tsep); $html .="<input type='hidden' name='edtunitprice' value='$product->unitprice'>";

do any of these look likely?

I looked around for any likely language files (Thanks Jay!) and I do have three ‘caddy’ .ini files in the en_GB folder:

en-GB.com_simplecaddy.ini
en-GB.mod_caddy.ini
en-GB.plg_simplecaddy.ini

Could it be in any of those?

Thanks again to the three of you and hopefully we’ll have this cracked in no time 🙂

Chris

Found it!

In ‘com_caddy”languages’ find ‘english.php’

Replace:

define (‘_SC_PRICE_PER_UNIT’, “Price/Unit”);

with:

define (‘_SC_PRICE_PER_UNIT’, “Price”);

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hi Jason

I looked in /components/com_caddy/ and also /administrator/components/com_caddy/ but I don’t have ‘english.php’, just the four files listed above?

Any clues?

Thanks
Chris

do you have a corresponding file in your own language?

Do the search through your whole site directory.. If you set the search path for the parent directory it will search through the whole site.

I was looking in the wrong version of simple caddy.

There is a reference to
SC_PRICE_PER_UNIT=Price/Unit

on line 31 of com_simplecaddylangfronten-GB.com_simplecaddy.ini
