Apple Zen Support Thread

Hi there,
I've searched in every corner of the forums, and I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but I can't find it! :frusty:

I'm having a problem with my sideboxes. When I activate them they appear at the bottom of my screen under the main text on the right hand side. This happens with any sidebox I activate under Tools>Layout Boxes Controller.

I've checked the column widths in Configeration>Layout Settings and they are all at 150px.

Can anyone please help!!!!

Many thanks!

Its because you did this:
.centerColumn {
width:95%!important;
float:left;
margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
}

That width is supposed to be 75%.

I assume you changed it because you wanted to have the image go all the way across the home page.

IF you change it back to 75%, then the sideboxes will work as desired.

If you want the sideboxes to never show on the home page. I think adding this to your css will do it:

#indexHomeBody .centerColumn {
float:left!important;
width:95%!important;
}

#indexHomeBody .navColumnTwo, #indexHomeBody .navColumnOne {display:none;}

Hi Jade,
Thank you so much for your excellent help! It fixed my problem perfectly. I think you're incredibly generous with the assistance you give everyone.
Sincere thanks!

Hi there,

Great template...but now I am struggling. I have made a lot of changes to the template most of which I am happy about.

My site is: www.electronicgiftshop.co.uk

I have added display: none to the css because I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the home log in and search bar in the main header (think that is what it is called)

However, all I really wanted was to display a logo above the drop down menu.


Now I am stuck..so any help would be really appreciated

thanks

I have managed to sort my logo out. My last issue is the layout changes depending on which browser you use, I have tried the latest IE& and Mozilla Firefox.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to remove the sidebox from the main page only. Using the bit of css above, found in a previous thread, I attempted to achieve this but the sidebox was only pushed down, not removed. Here is a screen shot.

I have also tried the following, on tpl_main_page.php, as per a Zen tutorial:

Quote:

---

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
}

---

But also had no success.

FYI: I followed Apple Zen tip #5 and moved the sidebox to the left, although not recently. However, that may be playing into this, as well.

Thanks for what ever help you can offer.

Usig this if statment:

Quote:

---

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

---

I was able to remove the sidebox. However, the dead space associated with it is still there, as you can see.

How can I make the entire space available to me?? :blink:

OK, it looks like I have this worked out: Combining the two made the difference. I added this if statement to tpl_main_page.php:

Quote:

---

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$flag_disable_left = true;
$flag_disable_right = true;
}

---

and I added this bit of css to the stylesheet.css:

Quote:

---

#indexHomeBody .centerColumn {
width: 95%!important;
float: right!important;
}

#indexHomeBody #centerColumnWrapper2 {
background:#ead5ea!important;
}

#indexHomeBody .navColumnTwo, #indexHomeBody .navColumnOne {display:none;}
