			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We would like to let know you know here of the up and coming affiliate options update regarding your setting a discount for your customers in <a href="https://secure.mytemplatestorage.com/personal/preset_price.php">Price settings</a> and <a href="https://secure.mytemplatestorage.com/personal/change_price.php">Change prices</a> of your affiliate area: starting from March, 24 the maximum discount amount you can set is going to be reduced from 20% to 10% inclusive. If it’s the 20% discount you are now offering your customers the 20% set before is going to be automatically switched to 10% that will be a maximum discount soon, so we are asking you all to let your customers know about this too and  to edit the ads on your websites so as not to mislead them regarding the template price they are going to really pay when it comes to the checkout.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please, view the announcement below to make sure the templates info blocks mentioned below are displayed on your affiliate (both api and preset based) website galleries.</p>
<p>Considering the increasing cases of refunds, chargebacks and in general the issues occurring due to misunderstanding since the template info on the affiliate website is shown incorrectly we are asking you all to necessarily display the info blocks on the templates previews such as:</p>
<p>1. &#8220;Item number&#8221;<br />
2. &#8220;Template Type&#8221;<br />
3. &#8220;Software requirements&#8221;<br />
4. &#8220;Sources available&#8221;<br />
5. &#8220;Product Description (width)&#8221; (if available)<br />
6. &#8220;Template Width&#8221; (if available)</p>
<p>In case the template item, type, or any other of the above items are not displayed or do not correspond to the info on templatemonster.com and therefore this causes the customers complaints leading to a refund or a chargeback we keep the right not to refund the commission for the order, and terminate the affiliate account in case the affiliate has too many customers complaints due to the wrong info display.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember just recently &#8211; a while back we shared with you some interesting tricks of how to customize your gallery preview, checkout, cart, and offers pages in one of  <a href="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/?p=37">MyTemplateStorage blog</a> posts? Then we thought it would be useful for you not just to know but see on an example how it can really be implemented in practice &#8211; for a real online store probably similar to yours where you are selling templates. So we&#8217;ve chosen of the templates from TemplateMonster&#8217;s collection (<a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/25506.html">25506</a>) for a sample store on <a href="http://www.brilliantwebdesigns.com/">brilliantwebdesigns.com</a> and fully customized the visual presentation of its preview, checkout, cart, and offers pages like described in the recent tutorial.</p>
<p>Just to get back to the idea about the way it&#8217;s done via creation an external css file for this kind of customization &#8211; after you&#8217;ve created, customized the css file for your store, and placed it in your store route folder you then enter the route to this file on your account in Presets=&gt;Preset settings=&gt;Other Settings=&gt;“Specify an URI of your CSS file for the preset (optional)” so that the new styles replace the major styles on MyTemplateStorage.com.<br />
Now, what you&#8217;ve done is what you get – the new styles will be working for your store instead of the similar-looking ones you had before &#8211; just view how amazingly # <a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/wordpress-themes/25506.html">25506 template</a> we&#8217;ve taken as groundwork for brilliantwebdesigns.com has changed. Here&#8217;s what the previews, checkout, cart, and offered pages looked before:</p>
<p>default_preview.jpg:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_default_preview.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_default_preview.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-51" /></a></p>
<p>default_shopping_cart.jpg:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_default_shopping_cart.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_default_shopping_cart.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-52" /></a></p>
<p>default_special_offers.jpg:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_default_special_offers.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_default_special_offers.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-53" /></a></p>
<p>default_checkout.jpg:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4_default_checkout.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4_default_checkout.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-54" /></a></p>
<p>And this is not #25506 template style indeed, is it? This is because of the major css styles for these pages (they can be seen in the default pages source code as &#8220;link rel=&#8221;stylesheet&#8221; href=&#8221;/css/preset/neutral/basic.css&#8221;  etc.).</p>
<p>Once we&#8217;ve added the custom css file to “Specify an URI of your CSS file for the preset (optional)” there will appear an additional link in the custom pages style sheet &#8211;  &#8220;link rel=&#8221;stylesheet&#8221; type=&#8221;text/css&#8221; href=&#8221;http://www.brilliantwebdesigns.com/css/custom_css.css&#8221; that will cover the basic template styles.</p>
<p>Have a look at the custom css code for the external file in the screens below &#8211; it begins with global styles for all the pages; the code area is divided by comments for each page specifying the major functional blocks. What is also important is that in the code the images are routed not via http, but simply as #preview_page, #cart_page, #offer_page, #payment_page {background:url(http://www.brilliantwebdesigns.com/images/tail.gif) repeat-x 0 0;color:#7c7c7c}:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_css.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_css.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="239" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-57" /></a><br />
<a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_css.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_css.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="410" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-58" /></a><br />
<a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_css.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_css.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="349" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-59" /></a></p>
<p>So this code is what makes the preview, checkout, shopping cart, and special offers pages have an entirely different look and feel fitting the store style:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_custom_preview.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_custom_preview.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-60" /></a></p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_custom_shopping_cart.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_custom_shopping_cart.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-61" /></a></p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_custom_special_offers.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_custom_special_offers.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-62" /></a></p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4_custom_checkout.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4_custom_checkout.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-63" /></a></p>
<p>Now it may be worth specifying the particular classes implemented in the custom css for each page separately.</p>
<p>For convenience in the following screens we&#8217;ve circled out and numbered the pages blocks for which the new classes have been implemented and below the screens are the classes implemented for each block separately.</p>
<p>Coming first is the <a href="http://www.templatehelp.com/preset/pr_preview.php?i=25506&amp;pr_code=xkx42oK794i0An2j6h029n30F0669r">preview page</a> (as having links to all other pages we&#8217;ve customized):</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_preview.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/1_preview.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-64" /></a></p>
<p>*numbers in the screen stand for classes:</p>
<p>1). #preview_page, #cart_page, #offer_page, #payment_page<br />
2) .buy_customize_area {}<br />
 3) a.buy_buttons {}<br />

    div.info_container div.buy_cart_area a<br />

18) .optional_area a {}</p>
<p>On clicking on the &#8220;Add to Shopping Cart&#8221; and &#8220;Shopping Cart&#8221; links on top and below the pricing we are taken to the <a href="http://www.templatehelp.com/preset/cart.php?pr_code=xkx42oK794i0An2j6h029n30F0669r&amp;act=add&amp;templ=25506&amp;PHPSESSID=940f9440942dedb38d0d17b24a066e24">shopping cart page</a> that now looks like this:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_cart1.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2_cart1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-66" /></a></p>
<p>*numbers in the screen stand for classes:</p>
<p>1). #preview_page, #cart_page, #offer_page, #payment_page<br />

    #btn_refresh {}<br />
    #btn_continue {}<br />
    #btn_checkout {}<br />
    a.buy_buttons {}</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the new look for the <a href="http://www.templatehelp.com/preset/special_offer.php?pr_code=xkx42oK794i0An2j6h029n30F0669r&amp;PHPSESSID=940f9440942dedb38d0d17b24a066e24">special offers page</a> due to the classes below its image:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_offer.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3_offer.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-67" /></a></p>

9) .cart_list td del {}<br />
10) .cart_list td ins {}</p>
<p>The &#8220;Buy the template&#8221; links on the preview will open the customized <a href="https://secure.template-help.com/preset/email.php?pr_code=xkx42oK794i0An2j6h029n30F0669r&amp;PHPSESSID=940f9440942dedb38d0d17b24a066e24">checkout page</a>:</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4_checkout.jpg'><img src="http://www.mytemplatestorageblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/4_checkout.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="355" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-68" /></a></p>

<p>1). #preview_page, #cart_page, #offer_page, #payment_page<br />
2) #left_bar {}<br />
3) input.search {}<br />

    #paypal<br />
    #wire<br />
    #robox<br />
9) cart_list {}<br />
10) .next {}</p>
<p>So &#8211; this is it (but quite enough for these three pages), and we do hope the sample on <a href="http://www.brilliantwebdesigns.com/">brilliantwebdesigns.com</a> we&#8217;ve shown will really be helpful in customizing the pages if you were willing to do that but just did not know how to. Why keep pages in the store different from the store and your website &#8211; just spend some time on playing about with the code (for your gallery css code you will of course need to use your own website styles) and get the result &#8211; all the pages looking exactly the same way as your whole store.</p>
