Re: Apple Zen Template Support Thread

Hi Again

I have hit a strange little snag, I don't know how it happened, cos this is the first time I have tried to edit it, but after creating about_us.php in includes/languages/english/html_includes/ I can edit it in the Define Pages editor but clicking the link in the shop menu points to the call "FILENAME_ABOUT_US" rather than redirecting to "about_us" so it defaults back to the main page.

I've been looking for ages... can you tell me which file points the FILENAME_BLAH calls to th actual pages? ie 'Blah'

Thanks :)

Thanks.

In your css, you have your #logo's width as 750em. Em's are different than px's. Change that to 750px. :-)

Hi duxfield,

in tpl_main_page.php, remove the </div> in this section:

Code:

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('column_left.php')); ?> <?php } ?> </div>

Did you use the about us mod in the download section to add the about us page? There are quite a few things that need to be added if I remember correctly. Here's a link to the download:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=182

It should help you figure out what's wrong with your about us installation.

No, its not any css that is making your background image go away. It's because you are mising a closing </div> in your site.

open up your tpl_header.php, and add back a closing </div> right before this:

<div class="clearBoth"></div>

Hi Jade

I'm still having problems removing a white space from my site www.giftsofwonder.co.uk

The space appeared when I removed navigation display from the tpl_header.

Is there any way of fixing this issue or removing the navigation display.

Many Thanks

That did bring back my background image. However, originally my striped background image began part way down the page, as yours did. Now the background image is riding from the top on down. Previously I had a headerwrapper background color that is now under the background image. The code that generated that color seems to have been over-ridden.

Code:

#headerWrapper { width:100%; text-align:center; margin:0 auto; background:#FFDFFF; }

Any suggestions on how to bring that backround color back?

Sorry to be such a pain. I'm a bit out of my league here. If I can just get the main construction of the page under control I can move forward.

Thanks again - Tim

Re: Apple Zen Template Support Thread

Concerning the ragged edges of the text on my logo: If I look at the properties of the logo.gif online in IE & FF the stated dimentions of the logo are larger than the logo actually is. IE says 817x84 while FF says 821x84. The logo iteself is actually 750x84.
I assume this stretching would distort the text. In my header.php the dimentions are correct. In the stylesheet the dimentions are now correct. (px instead of em, as suggested) Even if I comment out the #logo it is still listed as larger then it should be.

Sigh... Any suggestions anyone?

Hi Tim,

Okeedokee,

I see that it seems that you wanted your stripey background image to go all the way down the page, so you changed the repeat-x to repeat. (background:#FFDFFF url(../images/site-bg-blue.gif) 0 9em repeat;)

That is what is causing the background image to go all the way to the top. But the good news is, there is a solution. :yes:

If you want to keep your stripey background image going all the way down the page, but want a color behind your logo, you'll need to add the #ffDfff to #logoWrapperOuter instead.

You'll find that you also need to change the padding on #navMainWrapper from 2.25em to about 2.7em or else the blue of that section won't meet up with the logo.

Concerning your logo, you've got some messed up css there... change your logo section to this:
#logo {
width:750px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
}

Hi Toby.

Change:
#centerColumnOuter {
margin:-.1em .5em 0 .5em;
width:70em;
height:1.15em;
position:relative;
}

TO:

#centerColumnOuter {
margin:-.1em .5em 0 .5em;
width:70em;
position:relative;
clear:both;
}
