Thanks Tom,,

Also, do you know how I can fix the lines undernearth my products on the homepage …they are not aligned properly and they are very small…Its it possible to make the images bigger? Im using virtue mart…and the images are bigger on the product description screen but super small on the home page. I would realy like to have my viruemart displayed here like it is on the orisite template… the add to cart popup is bigger…and I like the boxes around the login info and the border line across the top of the check out page. I have downloaded the orisite template however im not sure how to make the changes that I would like to see. Also not sure how to get my ratings stars to show up?

Here is the link to my staging site:

Wendye:

I believe I found the culprit for the spacer image below your products . . .

Look to the following –> /templates/ja_tiris/css/template.css

at line 81, you will see the following:

<blockquote>h2, h2.contentheading, .contentheading, h1.componentheading, .componentheading, .profile h1 {
background: url(“../images/bg-h3.gif”) repeat-x scroll 0 100% transparent;
color: #373737;
font-size: 250%;
line-height: 100%;
margin: 0 0 20px !important;
padding-bottom: 13px !important;
}
</blockquote>

If you want to modify the spacer image, this is the CSS rule you would need to work with.
If you do not want the spacer image at all, simply delete this rule altogether.

Now, the “add to cart” button issue is a bit more tricky – as the button is not an image, but a CSS class configuration.

Look to –> /components/com_virtuemart/assets/css/vmsite-ltr.css

at line 50, you will see the following:

<blockquote>span.addtocart-button input.addtocart-button, span.addtocart-button input.notify-button {
background: url(“../images/vmgeneral/backgrounds.png”) repeat-x scroll 0 -160px #E8E8E8;
border: 1px solid #00A000;
border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px;
color: #FFFFFF;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 14px;
height: 34px;
letter-spacing: 1px;
padding: 4px 5px;
text-align: center;
width: 152px;

}

</blockquote>

Notice the “border” properties. These are what appear to be styling the “add to cart” button – as opposed to using an image for the button (which is what is/was usually – or at least usually in the past – done)

You can certainly replace all of that hoo-haw with your own add-to-cart image if you like.
(Do a Google IMAGE search for “add to cart” and see what comes up)

Which boxes are you referring to? Can you screen-grab/post an image?

Ok, I uploaded a screen snap shot with a few things I’d like to know how to do,

for the orisite snapshot (VM boxes.jpg)
1. Under categories the products are inside grey boxes
2. on the right the VM cart is in a box that looks really cool
3. at the bottom their are litte tags that say new and hot….I would like to use these tags on my products

for the joomshop snapshot (Joomshop.jpg)
4. I attached a pic of the joomshop cart on the tiris homepage and I really want to recreate this exact layout. with the add to cart buttion, price and the ratings all showing on the home page.

thanks so much, seriously… I don’t know what I would do without this forums help.

1. When I click on select a payment option a box pops up…but their are no selections in their. I want people to select Visa, Mastercard or Discover. I put that info in the payment discription on the VM components area…but nothing is showing up on the frontend of the site… also is it possible to display pictures of the Visa, MC etc options? Im guessing once they click on an option the fields open up to let them put in their credit card info. Im using authorize.net – I have an SSL thats set up and I thought I had configured everything correctly…. Do you have any advice on this?

Thanks
Wendye
