Apple Zen Support Thread

Hello Jade,


I'm pretty close to the end of this & cant figure out how the bar below the navigation, the part with the diamonds is just a few pixels to wide.

Then I'm also trying to find where I can fix this text being so close to the edge in the products list. Example http://www.thewishingwellshop.com/wi...dex&cPath=8_31

& last but not least I need to make the bottom half of the site red from right below the nav bar down to the bottom of the page?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Warm Regards,
D.

p.s.
I wanted to let you know I may have found a bug or something because in Firefox the site displays correct. I use a mac & in Safari it show the Categories above the drop down on the right side of the logo. Is there something I need to add to make that not happen?

Would anyone be able to tell me what the .htaccess file in the root folder is supposed to contain by default? I overlooked the IE6 details in the readme, so after going back and adding those lines of code, I think the original .htaccess was written over by accident. Currently, it only contains the suggested code in the additions_to_htaccess.

My drop down menu is not working in IE6, so I'm hoping to fix the .htaccess file.

This is what my .htaccess on my test site looks like, just change it to your website address:

Code:

---

## Add these to your .htaccess file so that only one way to your site exists, either http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com ... the following adds the www if it's missing:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^zencart137.jadetrue.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## If you'd like your site to go to http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com, add these changes instead:

##RewriteEngine On
##RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]
##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## the following makes sure the correct mime type is sent for the .htc file
AddType text/x-component .htc

I have that exact same text in my .htaccess file (in the root folder of course) and replaced the 'yoursite.com' with my domain. Not really sure what else to do. It doesn't seem to matter if the zen cart is installed in a sub directory since yours works well, i.e. www.mysite.com/shopping.

If I'm not mistaken, it seems to only have problems with the home page when first loaded. On a separate web site, I've posted direct links to specific product category pages -- when I click on those links, the page loads up and the menus drop down just fine. I'm not sure if that has to do with something else, but may be helpful in figuring this out.

I see that your test site as well as many others who have used your template don't seem to have any trouble and the menus drop down in IE6. I greatly appreciate your time and continued support with this issue.

I should read the Read me more often!
I figured out the issues.

Many Thanks

I am trying to make the template wider. I went throught 1st 100 messages (and last 20), there are just tooo many.. so I tried this:

.centerColumn {
width:100%;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
}

but the width is still the same.
P.S. I would like to keep the sidebox

Wow, that was my next question..

Nope, change that back to the original.

Then change all instances of 70em to a larger number, maybe try 75em, then change all 71em to 76em.
