But broke my Zen cart. Can you please tell me the proper procedure? Thanks!

Duh..! OK, now that I've posted I can see that I doubled up on <li It's working properly as:

PHP Code:

---

<li class="submenu"><a href="http://www.Mystore.com">Home</a></li>

If you have that menu item as a drop down menu, with "New Products", "All Product", etc. you also need to remove that </li> as it is closed after drop down item (search).

Thanks for catching that!!

As per the readme.txt instructions, what did you enter into "configuration", "Layout settings" for the sidebox widths?

1. That white space is the background color of #logoWrapperOuter. Either you need to change the background color to the color you'd like in stylesheet.css, or make your logo bigger. Without seeing the site I'm not sure if that will help you.

2. Would be a good question for the general forum, and search the add on modules to see if perhaps its been done already.

3. A little bit tricky. First reduce the padding of div#dropMenu li a in stylesheet_header_menu.css (from .6em to maybe .4em). Then open up stylesheet.css and change the height of #dropMenuWrapper from 2.18em to a smaller number, till it looks right. Then once you get that number, change all instances of 2.18em in the stylesheet.css to whatever number you changed it to.

Doesn't happen often, but I appreciate it when it does. :cool:

1. You'll have to create the image yourself, in some kind of image editing software than can create a rotating (animated) .gif, then simply add it to your define_main_page.php in "tools", "define pages editor" in your admin

2. In your stylesheet.css, you can add a font size to SELECT

3. Unfortunately I can't tell without seeing the site. Since you say it wiggles around depending on what you hover over, I'd confirm that all your tags are closed (<div>, <li>, <font>, etc.)

I am trying to install the Apple Zen template. I just completed the Zen Cart install. I am on a Mac. I noted in your readme file that you suggested using Chronosync. I have downloaded Chronosync, but still uncertain how to proceed. I understand I do not want to replace the entire includes folder, but what I am doing, "mirroring". Or "merging" as Transmit calls it. I tried "merging" as I use Transmit, but I do get prompted about what do to about certain files that already exist. Do I replace those?

Thanks.

Mirroring means you're making both sides the same, so DON'T do that. You want to merge. On my copy of chronosync, I choose "Backup - Left to right" with the apple zen files on the left, and the zen cart files on the right.

If its asking about replacing files that already exist, then you need to understand if you are replacing files that you have already changed, perhaps for some other mod. If so, you should manually merge the changes for both into one. If this is your first installation of apple_zen, there shouldn't be many files being replaced.

I love Apple Zen.

My issues may be a Zen Cart issue, but it is happening with Apple Zen.

My associate modifed the menus and now the About Us menu generates a 404 error.

Can anyone sugguest which file might be broken or suggest which files to restore from backup to fix this?

Here is an example:
