Help using custom fonts

Posted by WarbyrdElectronics on 02/22/2012 03:27 AM

I've been trying to use custom fonts for my website and have made edits to the CSS style sheets. But I cannot figure out how to get the to show on the website.
I uploaded a webkit to the folder where the theme is installed. And set font-family to the font I want to use. But still nothing.

Can anyone please help.
Thank you.

Help setting up a Forum

Posted by dkow VIP on 02/07/2012 08:45 AM

Being new here, I'm confused about how to set up a good manageable forum. There are various pages available including; forum, forum thread form, forum thread view, home forum widget, forum new post email, and forum new comment email. Where do you start, and where do you put the pages? A step by step outline would be great. Thanks!

Update on picture problem

Posted by botanicals34 VIP on 02/20/2012 05:33 PM

This problem is only with the one picture, all the rest of fine.
When I right clicked the image and went to the view image information page, this is what came up under general.

http://www.botanicalsforbeauty.com/pages/product-catalog-display/vegan_cleansers?previous_url_id=0
text/html
Standards compliance mode
ISO-8859-1
7.57 KB (7,747 bytes)
http://www.botanicalsforbeauty.com/pages/product-catalog-display

text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

under media it is listed like this: (in the address section) http://www.botanicalsforbeauty.com/files/aloe%26sheagel.JPG

but in when you look at the summary below it, it says the type is text/html, size unknown (not cached) and dimension says 0px by 0px (scaled to 0px by 17 px)

I tried renaming the file, re uploading the file, using the other picture I have after deleting the original and I named it slightly differently as well, and none of it has worked.

I did manage to get what looks like just the shadow of the bottle to show up in the approximately where it should be but it's very small and like I said looks like a shadow.

Installing LiveSite when you have an active website

Posted by hutch on 02/18/2012 11:41 AM

I have an active website but am considering replacing it with a LiveSite designed website. I want to install and design this new site while my old site remains active. The hosting service I use (Hostmonster) has live web content in the public_html folder.

My concerns are two-fold:
1) If I install LiveSite under public_html my existing content will no longer be visible to the public.

2)Conversly, if I install LiveSite elsewhere any design work will be lost when I am ready to go live with a new design causing downtime while I try to redo everything (not acceptable to my clients)

Can anyone shed light on how to transition to LiveSite without losing existing design until I am ready?

Thanks

Dewplayer

Posted by sharms26 on 02/21/2012 10:31 AM

Hey, I have a quick question regarding embedding media and using different var's to locate the mp3 file. I have downloaded the dewplayer.swf file and uploaded it in my files folder of livesite. I have also uploaded the mp3 file to the files folder of the website. When I go to embed media, under the "General" tab, I click on media and then i click on the dewplayer file. Then under advanced tab, I set the Flash Vars to the name of the mp3 file. The dewplayer loads up, but doesn't play the song when I click play. I even went to the dewplayer website and used there own site to generate an HTML code which i put in the "Source" tab of the embed media option. With this the parameters get established through the code that they give me. My only guess is I am using the wrong thing for the flashvars value?

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="dewplayer-bubble.swf" width="250" height="65" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="dewplayer-bubble.swf" /> <param name="flashvars" value="mp3=Wale_ft_Kid_Cudi-Stay_Focused.mp3" /> </object>

I've been trying to get a third party music player to work on livesite for awhile and I can't seem to find the solution. Should I be putting the mp3 file into the sites root folder? Please help!

Paypal buttons

Posted by botanicals34 VIP on 02/20/2012 03:53 PM

I have the code for the add to cart and view cart buttons for Paypal Express but no idea where to put them. Can someone at least give me a clue. It's not on either of the cart/ecommerce videos I watched them both that is a step before you started the videos. I am not even sure exactly which buttons I need to have a where.

Actually Paypal does allow you to bill for state taxes but only at one rate, ours varies from county to county. But I can eat some of that. It does allow you to charge for shipping by weight as well, but I think everyone charges by box size, weight and distance. So I guess you just have to figure out an average there.

Editing Billing Form on page type checkout-express-order

I was wondering how I go about editing the Billing Information section of the page type checkout-express-order.

Software Installation Problem

I am trying to install your software but keep getting the following error when attempting to enter the correct install location:

Fatal error: Incompatible file format: The encoded file has format major ID 1, whereas the Loader expects 4 in /home/datawire/public_html/livesite/install/index.php on line 0

I have uninstalled, reinstalled and updated the respective chmod entries to 0777 as per the guide but still nothing.

I have also checked source files and have correct file download for php 5.2 on my server.

Product catalog

Posted by botanicals34 VIP on 02/17/2012 07:03 PM

since all of my products are shippable do I really need to have both the all product groups and the product catalog pages?

I do not plan on having very many groups. I currently have 5 groups in the product catalog and plan on having no more than another 5. So I think it would look better if the first page showed just the 5 to 10 categories of groups of the product catalog.

I hope that makes sense. My groups are things like cleansers, toners, sugar scrubs, etc.

email signup

This is such a common widget to have on websites that I'm surprised it's not already created.

Stamps.com

Posted by botanicals34 VIP on 02/17/2012 01:15 PM

Actually stamps.com is more versatile and cheaper than the other shippers. Plus you can do just about anything online and request a pick up without extra charge (I am not sure if it's limited to certain services).

Maybe this would be easier to integrate than UPS. I remember a time when stamps.com was constantly talked about, but not lately it seems.

They are still in business and offering a free trial right now with a digital meter. Of course, like always you have to pay for the shipping.

In my opinion it's only worth it for a business and not for a person.

How exactly do page regions work?

Posted by vjtk on 02/13/2012 10:34 AM

I'm having a hard time understanding page regions. I've created page regions in the page style. They always default to "page region 1", "page region 2", etc in that order. If I change a page regions spacing or margin it effects that page region on every page of my site! If page 1-3 have page regions, the first one always defaults to "Page region 1". Then if I change the spacing on that page region on page 1, the change is propagated to pages 2-3. I do not want this! I want to alter the page region one page at a time. How do I do this?
