Loaded Commerce Community

We have just been putting the final touches to our new cre 6 site.
Long hours and getting the images right were the big problem but got it sorted.

I would be grateful for any comments, good or bad. Thats what will make us top in our field. If we know whats wrong we can fix it.

Thanks in advance guys
Doug

Website address is www.nifas.com

OK, nice site, couple of things.

1) Who's Online Box Title - got a slash in there that needs to come out - Who\'s Online

2) Your contact us form - as all addreses are the same, only state it once - I think having it there exactly the same 4 times highlights the size of your organisation, and not in a good way!

3) Couple of minor typos dotted about the place - the one which I noticed in a couple of places was "Guidlines"!

4) Need to de-americanise the language, for example you have Catalog, which annoys the hell out of me as a Brit and another couple of very minor alterations.

5) De-americanise the signin and address pages - postcode needs to be at the bottom, county not state, etc, etc. - also, do you really need my sex and date of birth?

6) You have a blank category about half way down your menu, which also looks a little strange on your front page, just go into admin and delete it to stop it showing.

Thats all for now m8, hope those points help.

I have made the few adjustments and thank you for pointing them out. I'm sure you know what its like when the eyes start to go square and you can see the bits.

I can't seem to change the create new account setup for the postcode. looked everywhere but no joy. got the rest sorted.

Thanks again and hope this site takes the biz through the roof..

yep, had the goggle eyed syndrome myself many a time, so you have my sympathies! Changing the postcode field is quite an easy one, here goes (these instructions are from a while back, so the exact code may be very slightly different, but you'll get the idea!):

two files need changing:

/templates/content/create_account.tpl.php
/includes/modules/address_book_details.php

in both files you need to find this bit of code:


[CODE ]
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_POST_CODE; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('postcode', $entry['entry_postcode']) . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
[/code]



and simple move it to the appropriate place. for instance i just place it between state and country fields and it'd look like this:


[CODE ]
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('street_address', $entry['entry_street_address']) . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_STREET_ADDRESS_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
if (ACCOUNT_SUBURB == 'true') {
?>
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_SUBURB; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('suburb', $entry['entry_suburb']) . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_SUBURB_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_CITY; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('city', $entry['entry_city']) . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_CITY_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_CITY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {
?>
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_STATE; ?></td>
<td class="main">
<?php
if ($process == true) {
if ($entry_state_has_zones == true) {
$zones_array = array();
$zones_query = tep_db_query("select zone_name from " . TABLE_ZONES . " where zone_country_id = '" . (int)$country . "' order by zone_name");
while ($zones_values = tep_db_fetch_array($zones_query)) {
$zones_array[] = array('id' => $zones_values['zone_name'], 'text' => $zones_values['zone_name']);
}
echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('state', $zones_array);
} else {
echo tep_draw_input_field('state');
}
} else {
echo tep_draw_input_field('state', tep_get_zone_name($entry['entry_country_id'], $entry['entry_zone_id'], $entry['entry_state']));
}

if (tep_not_null(ENTRY_STATE_TEXT)) echo ' <span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_STATE_TEXT;
?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_POST_CODE; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('postcode', $entry['entry_postcode']) . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_POST_CODE_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_get_country_list('country', $entry['entry_country_id']) . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
[/code]

Hope that helps m8

Cheers Mate,

Got it sorted.

Thanks again
Doug

ok, np m8. I'll have a more in depth look at your site tomorrow for you, I have a bit of a rep as a Simon Cowell type figure of website reviews ! Its definitely getting there though, and I'm sure in time it will bring you a good amount of business. For the meantime, go have a look at http://info.vilesilencer.com - get your site submitted to those directories to start getting your name out, and it really helps get the search engine robots trawling through your site too, for those all important search engine listings....until later.....

i have a widescreen monitor, and the green backdrop is overpowering the site content... otherwise, nice work
