Hello,

I'm currently using a trial of SCDP to see if I can do what I want to do. At the minute, I am finding it difficult to get the software to do what I want.

I have made some sites using the HTML editor (http://www.chocolatefalls.net, http://www.wildstardiscos.net and http://www.sparklecloths.net) All sites are the same layout as they are owned and run by the same company.

What I have been asked to do is to make a shop for all of the sites. So my immediate thought was SCCP and SCDP. I have tried to make a theme in SCDP to import to SCCP but I can't get it to work properly. What I want is for the shop to look near enough identical to how the sites look.

I am having trouble with pretty much everything in regards to this. Placement of menu bar, footer bar, etc and even the correct fonts.

So is there any geniuses that are out there and are willing to help me? It would, as always, be hugely appreciated.

Simon.

Simon have you seen this thread a few down from this one : http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/shoppin … stom-shop/

Its works in VSD, not sure how it would be applied in HTML editor

I think if you use template BLANK with top categories you can space them to match yours.

Simon check your email.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Viv, I'll read up on that.

Eric, I have your email. Thanks, I now know it can be done. How long did it take, roughly?

And can you add other fonts into SCDP? I only have a list of 13.

Thanks for all your help so far.

The example I sent you took me 3 minutes. The navigation image still needs to be re-sized but I figured I got the general idea going for you to tweak.:) The font thing may take a little work. What font are you using?

The fonts are: Lucida Handwriting for Chocolate Falls, Tempus Sans ITC for Wildstar discos and Lucida Sans for Sparkle Cloth, this is already on the drop down font list. Would it be a case of changing the CSS?

Hacking the css looks to be the only option.:)
