Simple Zen Template - Support Thread

[signs]

Okay, now this is too weird. I looked at those files I was talking about and I decided there must have been some messup on my end with installing the template. I have installed 3 other templates today without a single hitch.

I just tried to install again and I am getting the error on the admin page when I go to select the template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xxxx/xxx/xxxx/includes/templates/simple_zen/template_info.php on line 1

I give up. I have no idea what's going on but the files in the zip file appeared to look fine.

If I were having the same problem with other templates I would say that there's a definite problem on my end, but the other 3 installed with no problem. Any ideas??

I am dying to get this to work as I have been drooling over your site all day.

Since it appears that all the code is in order I will attempt to install it again and report back on how it went. I feel like an idiot and I honestly don't have a clue what happened to the code on the last install.

Thanks!

Let me know how it goes. To all others, the site where this template is in action is going to be wacky for a while, till I figure out the IE issue. I'll probably actually be redoing the whole header images/links in a much smarter way.

Thanks for the compliment, BTW, glad you like the template.

Okay, just so you can see...here's the before shot (straight out of the zip file)


and here is the after shot. This is after FTPing and then snatching the file from the site and opening:


the tpl_header file is way more messed up than that.
Any ideas?

So I decided to test FireFTP (which I have installed) and see if the problem was with my FTP program.
Turns out that must have been exactly what it was because the install went off with no errors. Whew! I'm sorry to have hogged this thread (and posted huge images) over something that was end user error.

I think I am staying with FireFTP even though I paid good money for ACE.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the template!!

Glad it worked for you!

Since I'm on a mac, perhaps my line breaks are formatted differently than others, since you said you used Aceftp with other templates.

Hi, I like the template :)

Is this template based off of template_default.. or off of the Classic template bundled with ZC 1.3? I did a website optimization request on it (to compare speeds) and it looks like your stylesheet name is stylesheet_new.css .. so i was wondering :)

It's based off the new 1.3 template. Not the template_default.

Jettru - I don't know if you saw my post earlier or not- the link in your footer on this template is wrong - just an FYI

Thanks, I fixed it already.

Hi Guys!

i've uploaded an update to this template, that takes care of the IE problem. I also removed the wishlist link. I also made it easy in the stylesheet to change from the images in the header to just plain text links.

For those who have already installed this template, I'd go ahead and just reupload it with the new files.

Changed files:
includes/languages/english/simple_zen/header.php
includes/templates/simple_zen/common/tpl_header.php
includes/templates/simple_zen/css/stylesheet_new.css
includes/templates/simple_zen/images/topnav.gif
