    Using the forum search tool provides this:
    little bit embarrasing - can't find template folder

    Just as a follow on... Today I've had a look at creating a generic template based around an existing 'A/z' one. There was a reason for this - don't ask. The conclusion: there are so many unnecessary bits of code and CSS (IMO), that it's better to start afresh with either fallback or compromise. Along with Firefox & Firebug (and wee bit of Google), it's possible to achieve quicker/better results, using maybe colour/similar graphics and layout cues from an existing template.
    Just my take on things - I almost released another free template today but wasn't happy with the code, yet.

    ridex,
    thanks you are right.
    i did this theming myself. I didn't change much in the layout as it really fits my store I think.
    http://thefinalproject.net/update-wr...34d-p-259.html
    if you look at the bottom where it says "Customers who bought this product also purchased," the corner on the top right in not rounded
    do you know which css or php file controls that corner?
    I can't find it.

    Using Firebug:
    In product_info.tpl.php (or an includes module for the 'customers who also bought') change
    Code:
    <td height="14" class="infoBoxHeading">
    <img border="0" width="1" height="1" alt="" src="images/infobox/corner_right_left.gif">
    </td>
    for corner_right.gif (an educated guess).

    the templates/fallback/content/product_info.tpl.php makes no mention of the word "images" at all.

    Exclamation Warning! Do NOT modify the fallback template

    Under no circumstances (apart from the Development Team, or as part of a bug squash) should you be modifying any file in the fallback template. Create your own template, copying over any files that you wish to change from default. This is the fundamental way that BTS and osCmax operates. See forum sticky posts, and/or the wiki for further details.

    As suspected, see bottom of that file:
    Code:
          include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS);
    So:
    catalog/includes/modules/also_purchased_products.php
    Code:
          new contentBox($info_box_contents);
    looks as though it's a standard infobox
    ....
    Didn't get me any further, so with the help of Notepad++, it's possible to search all catalog files for the string
    images/infobox/corner_right_left.gif
    That'll find it (you'll need to download your site).
