change order of fields in new user sign up

[dmiles]

Hi,
I am new to osCommerce and mostly enjoying the experience of learning the power of the program. Sometimes the shortage and occasional lack of documentation are a bit frustrating; don't get me wrong, I really appreciate all the work that has gone into this amazing program.

Can anyone PLEASE help me with changing the order of fields in the create new account dialogue. I would like to move the postcode field to after the state field. I have been able to do this on all other dialogues and in the account table in the db. I have read in the forums that this should be able to be done in the create_account.php file, but I have reordered all relevant lines in that file and no change.

Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.

you have to change the template file (templates/content/create_account.tpl.php starting around line 125. You can change the order of the fields around there.

Thank you! I have just recently discovered the templates/content folder. Lots of fun things to do there!

dmiles, yes that is the place to look to do most customization to the look and layout of the content pages. Have fun, it is pretty easy once you find where the right stuff is!

msasek, I have to agree that things are MUCH easier to deal with when I can find them!! Now I just have to figure out why there is a grey border around each of my product listings - NOT the red border around the group.

Page where border problem is occurring!

I will look in the content folder and hopefully find the solution!
Thanks!!

Thanks, I will look at stylesheet

So far I have been unable to completely remove the border between product listings. I remove all spacing, but a 1 px border remains and I do not see an entry in stylesheet for that border. I wonder if it is being inserted elsewhere?

That is not there in the default stylesheet, so I am thinking you introduced that at some point with your changes... Backtrack your work and check what styles you are calling. It is most likely from your custom class productListing-data

Here is the code for productListing-data from the stylesheet:

TD.productListing-data {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;

I did a search thru the entire site for "1", 1px, and border=1. I checked out all the results and the only reference to a 1px border was in the admin/htmlarea/stylesheet. Just for grins, I changed it and it had no affect on the product display. I can't help the feeling that this is really something simple!
